Yes, looking at the specification table, you can easily recognize that LG G5, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Vivo Xplay 5 are gorgeous 4GB RAM handsets. Besides, each of them also has a 2K screen, a slim and light body, a fingerprint scanner and a dual SIM. However, apart from those similarities, there are many essential differences we need to note. Then, you will know which device is the most powerful one here!

First of all, you can see that they all have pretty handy displays with very high ppi. Though, we have to say the S7 is the one sporting the most beautiful screen thanks to measuring 5.1 inches with 2K resolution, 577 ppi, Super AMOLED panel, and “always-on display” mode. In terms of processor, LG G5 and and S7 are definitely the stronger due to packing the latest Snapdragon 820 chips. Well, Xplay 5 can lose at this point, yet if we take its other specs into consideration, things may be changed.

Say, although the Xplay 5 does not offer a microSD card slot to expand the internal storage, its 128GB ROM surely will allow you to install more apps and games than the others. As you know, LG G5 and S7 do have microSD cards but only for storing stuff like images and music and their true ROM capacities are much less than the Vivo’s product. Moreover, the 5’s got a totally bigger battery which is capable of 3,600mAh and an all new Hi-Fi solution called Hi-Fi 3.0 for greater sound. Nonetheless, Xplay 5’s cell does not support Quick Charging tech like the other two, which means you will have to wait a bit longer for a full batt.

Vivo Xplay 5

By the way, we found that LG G5 is the best in this comparison when it comes to Quick Charge, OS, and camera. Specifically, the new flagship from LG boasts the most modern Quick Charge 3.0 enabling the phone to reach 83% of energy in just 30 minutes. Furthermore, it also runs on the newest version of Android Marshmallow. As for photography, you will feel super satisfied with its main dual camera consisting of a 16MP f/1.8 plus a 8MP f/2.4 sensor, and fantastic 8MP selfie snapper. Anyway, in general, we bet those guys are all able to give you wonderful shots.
