Help With LG G5 Screen / Lg G5 Looks Like A Fail / Brand New Samsung Galaxy S6 64GB (2) (3) (4)
LG G5 Or Galaxy S6 64gb by Mcdondayan: 8:05am On Jul 20, 2016 |
Hello everyone, I am in a fix about making a choice between these two phones. So please the tech guys or those who have used any of these two phones should please give me a reason to or not to buy either of the 2 phones. I have my personal reasons for not going for the Galaxy s7, and I don't like their edge variants either. And also note that the difference in price between the 2 devices is not an issue. Thank you in advance for your contribution. |

For better performance and up to date get yourself the G5... great camera and better battery life... 1 Like |

Jeffy1206:Thanks bro. But the challenge I usually have with phones is that it usually drops from my hand all the time and I fear that when the G5 drops, the part that pops out will get damaged. You need to see my s4 to understand what I am talking about. |

Re: LG G5 Or Galaxy S6 64gb by Peterpan222(m): 10:58am On Jul 20, 2016 |
Mcdondayan:I'm not angry but I'm bitter. U just mentioned expensive gadgets knowing fully well your handling capability... There is no need of going for it if u knw it won't last in your hands (no matter your financial status which I don't knw) I'm not angry sir! If I were to be u, I did go for Super string devices that are mere lesser in price that those two u mentioned.. The more expensive they are, the more fragile the bcoms.. Soonest u will see phones made of glass. FRAGILE 5 Likes |

Mcdondayan:Lg G5 is made of Aluminum while S6 is Glass front and back, yet you're concerned that G5 would scratch when it falls ; what do you think the S6 would do given the same circumstances? |

donhils:Please understand my comment or browse before you reply. LG G5 is a phone with a modular design. Under it there is a part that you can pop out to replace the battery or fix attachments. No my concern was after several fall will that part not be shaky or loose. Thanks for the reply anyway. |

you should really look at the HTC10... coming fron a company trying to make a come back, they threw their best at it plus: it looks as tho iPhone 6 and galaxy S6 had a baby |
Re: LG G5 Or Galaxy S6 64gb by dustmalik(m): 5:30pm On Jul 20, 2016 |
greenhulk:It is shipped with 64gb internal memory. For most people, that is well enough. |
Re: LG G5 Or Galaxy S6 64gb by Nobody: 5:40pm On Jul 20, 2016 |
dustmalik: U have a point. The one plus 3 is a solid phone, but personally not for me, it is just too boring. |
Re: LG G5 Or Galaxy S6 64gb by dustmalik(m): 5:50pm On Jul 20, 2016 |
greenhulk:Because of its near stock OS? I personally prefer the new Touchwiz UX and new NOTE grace UX. I'm tired of stock experience. |

Camera - G5. Even better than the s7 Battery - S6 Updates - Well, s6 is faster with ROMS Software - S6 Screen - S6 Speaker - Both are really good. G5 maybe a little better Design - S6 Processor and Ram - G5 though I don't see any difference in use Summary: If you want a media kinda phone, bad äss camera with sd card support and ability to change batteries, go for the g5. If you desire aesthetics, multifunctionality and a gorgeous screen, do get the s6 2 Likes |

Galaxy S6 had a huge battery drain issues when it debuted last year and I do hope subsequent update would have fixed the issue. If you have an issue about phone handling then you'd have an issue with the S6 too considering Samsung veered away from their traditional plasticky covers to glass back. The LG G5 has the latest specs befitting of a 2016 flagship, better camera than the S6. However the "coating brouhaha" and the modular iteration gimmick it tried to pioneer hasn't really improve the company's bottom line. The battery life of the G5 is also suspect. At 2800mAh powering a QHD screen and SD 820 processor is a mismatch in my own view. At least the industry standard for most flagship is 3000mAh. While it has expandable memory and 4GB RAM like you'd want, read more reviews on G5 performance before you jump ship. For me, stay off Galaxy S6. On a personal note, I've ordered for a Oneplus 3 as it meets my requirement and I don't have to really break the bank to use a 2016 flagship. For $399 and you a 5.5" Super Amoled screen, 64GB Space, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 820 and 3000mAh. My gripes are the lack of expandable memory and a few other quirks. 1 Like |

Veritas234:Thanks man. My challenge with the oneplus 3 is the size. I am even trying to manage the G5. If oneplus had a smaller version, with its 6gb RAM it would have been a straight up choice. Thanks for your point of view, it's highly appreciated. |

Personally I would tell you to go for s7 but it's obviously obvious (if dat kind english dey exist) that you love s6, which is a good choice. I love both phones. Considering what you want in the phone, I believe s6 will be better for you. I think the G5 might get damaged because of the external accessory stuff. Go for s6 get a good rubber pouch and glass screen protector atleast it will help. 1 Like |
