MWC 2016: Xiaomi Mi 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 vs LG G5

Xiaomi finally ended the month's long rumors with the launch of its fifth flagship smartphone - the Mi 5 in an event happened at MWC 2016, Barcelona. The smartphone is the most advanced Xiaomi handset till date and will retail around Rs 26,000 in the Indian market in the upcoming month.

This is the third flagship smartphone of the MWC 2016, others being the Samsung Galaxy S7 and the LG G5 launched last week at a price tag of Rs 53,500 and Rs 48,000 respectively (Approximate price as per the Indian market).

While, the Xiaomi Mi 5 merely costs half of the price of the other two flagships, it is still a powerhouse and can easily take on any other smartphone available in the market. Further, because of the affordable price tag and top-notch features and specifications, the smartphone is bound to garner a fair amount of interest worldwide.

That said, if you are planning to invest in a new flagship smartphone, we suggest you first go through the following comparison (MI 5 vs Galaxy S7 vs LG G5), which will give you a better understanding to make a decision. Here you go!

As you can see above, the trio have the same processing power and the same amount of RAM for multitasking. But they still manage to differentiate from each other in their unique ways. While Samsung offers IP68 certification to protect the smartphone from dust and water, LG G5 brings the all new modular design, which let you do much more with the add-on accessories. And talking about the Xiaomi Mi 5, the smartphone already has the price-point going on in its favour and the required amount of features and power you would want from a flagship under Rs 30,000.

Where Xiaomi lacks is the storage option. Galaxy S7 and LG G5 come with microSD support whereas Xiaomi Mi 5 does not seem to offer the same, and the top-most variant of the smartphone goes up to 128GB, still short of 70GB if you feel to upgrade the S7 and G5 to their full microSD capacity.

At the end Xiaomi Mi 5 seems to be the best option for someone who don't want to cross the Rs 30,000 mark and still desire a flagship experience.

LG G5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S7 – Best Most Expected Smartphones in 2016

The LG G5 and Samsung Galaxy S7 are two of the most expected handsets in 2016, which will most likely be announced in February 21, 2016. Today we’re going to talk about the rumored specifications that these devices will come with.

Designs

Unfortunately, it’s not sure yet how much the LG G5 will measure and will weight. But most likely, LG will retain the floating arc design and will change the material for the back. The previous G4 came in two variants: one with genuine leather and the other one was made of plastic and had a 3D diamond pattern. The Samsung Galaxy S7 will measure 143.4×70.8×6.9mm, but it’s not sure yet how much it will weight. And rumors say that Samsung is in love with the new glass and metal design so it will use it again for the S7.

Displays

The LG G5 is expected to come with an IPS LCD display of 5.6-inch that will support a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels at 525 ppi and it will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The Galaxy S7 will feature a smaller Super AMOLED display of 5.1-inch that will support the same resolution which will give a higher pixel density of 576 ppi and it will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Chipsets, Graphics Cards & RAM

Rumors say that the LG G5 will feature a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 chipset, an Adreno 530 graphics card and 4GB of RAM. The Galaxy S7 will either come with an Exynos 8 Octa 8890 chipset with a Mali-T880 MP12 GOU or a Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 chipset that will house an Adreno 530 graphics, and which will be backed by 4GB of RAM.
