GSM Arena has put up the first review of the LG G5 that I'm aware of:
Evening the odds - LG G5 review | gsmarena.com
The G5 being one of the S7/S7 Edge's main competitors, it seemed appropriate to start a thread to discuss the virtues and vices of each phone.
What are your thoughts on these two giants?

Hello folks,
In 3 weeks i am able extend my phone contract and i will receive a brand new phone with it.
Now i am in a huge dilemma because i can't choose between some phones. I've listed them below and i know they all have pro's and con's.
I am a huge fan of flashing custom ROMs, taking and editing some pictures and videos every now and then, playing games like GTA 5, Hearthstone etc. streaming movies to my Chromecast on my current device which is an HTC One m7.
Personally i am strongly leaning towards the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, but my question is; which of the phones below would you choose and why?
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
LG G4
ASUS Zenfone 2
Oppo R7
ELEPHONE P7000
Huawei P8

I got the chance to play around with the GALAXY S6 Edge personally and I think it was a fabulous phone
I have the Note 4, but if I didn't have a phone i'd go for the S6 edge.
Despite the curved screen I was able to hold it in my hands very comfortably, and the edges sort of brought a "wide" viewing experience. (Not to mention it just feels very unique as if you are not limited by 4 bezel edges).
The speed, sounds, and elements of the phone felt great too
The only down side (coming as a Samsung user) for me is the non removable back which was traded in favor of very high quality build material (Glass and aluminum).
I highly recommend it.
I am unsure of other phones.
MWC brought us a look at new and upcoming devices. Lg G5, Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, Sony X series and more. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this event and its devices.
Personally I like to get my hands on the S7 titanium silver. But I also favor the Xiaomi Mi 5. Just about the same specs but lower price tag. It should be availible globally.
I'm looking to buy a phone - I've narrowed it down to 4 choices, each from B&H Photo Video.
Moto G4 Plus - $189.99
LG G4 - $229.99
Moto G5 Plus - $229.99
LG G5 - $299.99
I'm looking for people's opinions and recommendations on which to get - I'm leaning towards the G4 Plus atm.
Let the discussions begin!

Better ask here [Device suggestions thread by kidcarter93]
I have to choose again for a new phone. I had S7 in the past but the bugs of los and laggy touchwzi made me sell it. So now I have to chose again between Galaxy S7, Oneplus 3 and Xiaomi Mi5.
Any recommandation ?
The main things i want from the phone is:
1. battery
2. xda support and development
Any advices, how is S7 development now ? And one more question How is is OP3 battery life compared to MI5 or S7?
Take whichever ever one uses snap dragon/qualcom chipset.
Only exynos variants in my country. Please answer all questions
The S7 international exynos variant has an unlocked bootloader so development is much better than youd expect, but the OP3 surpasses both the others by miles in that category. Not sure about battery comparisons.
So, some background to my story.
I was saving up for an S8+ but had to use that money somewhere else. Need to a buy phone ASAP and looking at previous gen flagship.
I currently have a Redmi note 4 and I don't want another mediocre mid level phone. I really don't like the camera or the sound quality.
Now my budget isn't much. I can spare about $320.
I am getting an S7 (G930T) for $335 and a V20 (H918) for $300. (Both are brand new)
My only concern for the S7 is no development since it is snapdragon (Can't find a cheap Exynos). As for the V20, plenty of development but no future updates (S7 will get official Oreo).
I live in India and will be importing these devices through a family member. I've already looked at OnePlus and they aren't selling for cheap, both the 3T and 5.
All I'm looking for is a day's battery life, good camera and sound quality. Not much of a mobile gamer.
Basic needs are WhatsApp, Reddit, Snapchat, Instagram and YouTube. No Facebook.

Did you consider the Moto x4, HTC U11 life, and maybe a used one plus 3? If you are looking for great development, then the 3 is your best choice. Also, if you like sound quality, the axon 7 could also be a good choice.
