I really do think the that the UI is much cleaner and much more professional on the LG G5. They have been doing camera and video UI much better for the last few years - better than most other phones. The only other UI that I think can match or even surpass this UI is the Lumia UI way back when. Regardless, here is screen capture of the UI<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO6ohHc8MM8CMSn3Gv80rM7eVsTDwILGYDrQY67K-1txXJvU_ZPmgyLle50uFz46UjkqAQPwbwXaoHhAWwiVmzIiQPi2-B579Y-WRNU1a_mGQfeYz8ERhyiv2saYcyk31h2RHEdTXcGZc/s1600/Screenshot_2016-05-14-14-17-39.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
The first option you'll notice between the two is that the LG doesn't have this "auto" mode. The Samsung is able to look at the video you're recording and slow down specific parts and speed up others. It actually makes a pretty cool effect. If you don't like it, you can turn off Auto and do it manually, just like the LG. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both record time lapse and hyper lapse videos at 1080p by default. The LG can be lowered to other resolutions, but <b>the Samsung cannot be changed</b>. Why you can't is beyond me. Ask Samsung! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Regardless, here are the two clips on auto for the Samsung and Auto on the LG. These were about 12 or 13 minutes in real life. </div>

Honestly, they are both great - but the auto is VERY good! I really enjoyed that. You won't see so much change in this video since clouds generally follow the same speed - but when walking around recording people or streets, it automatically slows down for parts and then speeds back up. I really enjoy that.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Wide Angle vs Standard camera on the LG</h3>
<div>
The LG can also record a time lapse with the wide angle lens which is just spectacular! </div>
<div>
Here is the FOV of the normal sensor on the LG:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
And here is the FOV of the camera with the wide angle lens:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
You just get so much more out of the image with the 8mpx wide-angled lens, even though the corners are a little bit more distorted as if it were a fisheye lens. The end product is no less magnificent. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is a video of the wide angle time lapse. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pros and cons to each:</div>
<div>
LG:</div>
<div>
+ Very good settings</div>
<div>
+ Ability to lower resolution if desired</div>
<div>
+ Wide angle hyper lapse is fantastic</div>
<div>
+ Fantastic quality </div>
<div>
+ Ability to choose speed </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- No automatic slowdown or speed up</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Samsung:</div>
<div>
+ Very good auto setting will speed up the boring moments and slow down the action moments</div>
<div>
+ Ability to choose speed</div>
<div>
+ Fantastic quality </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Can't modify resolution</div>
<div>
- No wide angle lens without the Galaxy Lens Cover kit, which I have on its way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'd say they are both very good devices, but the LG wins in this department, but Samsung very close by due to that auto mode. </div>

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/tq3WqEUxtRyBn-d_0t3j6WKNHuJDrmLq-FE3GAYrsAMQFIaS7FIgRLfzzql2SvfvLqto=w300" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>Well this was frustrating. I have 2 phones, and both are set to back up the pictures I take from the cameras. One is an LG G5 and the other is a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. The G5 is uploading the pictures just fine. On my Galaxy S7 edge it isn't working. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is practically 0 support from Google, and the only thing you can do is go to the support forum and leave a message and hope that someone will answer you. I'd rather tinker...<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/tq3WqEUxtRyBn-d_0t3j6WKNHuJDrmLq-FE3GAYrsAMQFIaS7FIgRLfzzql2SvfvLqto=w300" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/tq3WqEUxtRyBn-d_0t3j6WKNHuJDrmLq-FE3GAYrsAMQFIaS7FIgRLfzzql2SvfvLqto=w300" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These are the steps I took:</div>
<ul>
<li>Turned off and on the device</li>
<li>Went into application manager and manually stopped Photos</li>
<li>Went into application manager and cleared cache</li>
<li>Went into application manager and cleared the application storage</li>
<li>Went into application manager and disabled, reenabled and then updated via Google Play store.</li>
<li>I have changed where the camera saves its pictures: SD and Internal Storage - it made no difference.</li>
</ul>
<div>
After EACH step above I tried the following:</div>
<ul>
<li>In the photos app, I go into the settings and enable auto backup. The assistant says "backing up X photos", and it has been like this for days.</li>
<li>I have tried changing from ON to OFF for the backup </li>
<li>I have tried toggling only on wifi, to cellular, and also from always to only while charging. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<u>None of those options worked</u>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>But</u></b> if I want to backup a specific image, I can press and hold and press the backup now button on the top right, and it will upload it successfully.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know it's not my account since it's uploading the images on my other device.</div>
<div>
I know it's not an internal error since I can manually backup the images I select</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

So what did I do? well, I got so frustrated after DAYS of dealing with this and just manually backed up everything and deleted the entire DCIM folder on both the SD card and the internal storage. Everything in those folders and the folders themselves. <b>This fixed it!</b> </div>

It is always hard to find a fault with this line of cases. Let's see how the S7 Edge case holds up.<br />
<br />
<br />
This case is not like your other Urban Armor Gear cases in the sense that it just protects. When Samsung came out with the S7 (flat version), UAG just had to find the right dimensions and put it together. With the S7 Edge though UAG had to really find a balance between protection and usefulness.<br />
<br />
The Edge of the S7 Edge is both very useful and a big hindrance. Let's see how UAG designed the case to work in favor of the S7 Edge.<br />
<br />

Firstly, let's talk about the design. The design is quite on par with the other designs - you have that modern design that really looks like it's very industrial and sturdy.<br />
<br />
It features very well reinforced black rubber in the corners and hard plastic at the back.<br />
<br />
As usual, the UAG line comes in a multitude of colors (sadly, far less than the iPhone lineup has). To check them out, <a href="https://urbanarmorgear.com/collections/case-for-galaxy-s7-edge" target="_blank">click here</a>. In this review I have the Magma colored case which is actually very nice. Over the years I always got the ICE color because it would really shine through devices which could change their back plate or color with a skin. I really felt like this time I wanted to keep my S7 Edge with 1 color and just get a colored case. Magma is certainly eye catching, isn't it? I also have a blue case on the way that my partner really wanted, so when it arrives next week I'll update the post with comparative pictures.<br />
<br />

I'm quite a shutter bug if any of you visit my other shootouts :<br />

<br />
As I was saying, the rubber around the camera and LED flash has 0 effect or warping on the camera which is great news. A lot of other cases tend to move those borders around the camera and flash and when you fire up the flash it leaves some ghosting or artificial whitening to the image. Luckily this doesn't happen. Also, as you can see in the image above, there is an shallow widening of the rubber to accommodate a finger for those of us that actually use the finger heart rate monitor reader. Good stuff. That's some attention to detail that the <a href="http://zkent85.blogspot.com/2016/05/supcase-unicorn-beetle-case-for-samsung.html" target="_blank">Supcase </a>didn't take into account, having to do some finger gymnastics to get a good read.<br />
<br />

While there is added weight and width to the device, it's rather minimal.<br />
The S7 E weighs 157 grams without a case, and with the UAG case it goes up to 192 grams, which isn't much. The Supcase went up to 213 grams.<br />

<br />
As you can see in this image the entire edge is very readily available. You lose absolutely no functionality while using this case.<br />
<br />
One of the good points that I was talking about is that this case adds a little thickness to the sides. When I use the S7 Edge without using a case, I often touch the sides of the screens by accident and it opens apps or does functions that I didn't want it to do. With a case that adds a little thickness to its sides you avoid a lot of these issues. Now if you compare this case to other cases, you still have that awesome feeling of the infinity display in your hand - in other cases it feels a little more like a case with the sides, but this removes from the beauty of having a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with those gorgeous edges! The UAG case keeps those edges nice and clean. Galaxy<br />

<div>
If you take a look at the front of the case you can see that there are lips on the top and bottom to raise the case from a table if you place it on top. This is a must have for any case with such an expensive case and device! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a few other cases that cost practically nothing that would protect my device from absolutely nothing other than a casual scratch that would have been caused by entering or exiting my jeans - but if you often place your phone face down on the table you'd better have a case that raises the screen off the table! Also, the added rubber keeps it from sliding off the table (fantastic for airplanes and tray tables on trains or buses). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
These rubber pads are, of course, also present on the back.</div>

Speaker phone and microphones don't get muffled. Port sizes are also very generous so you can use basically any micro USB cable and headphones. This compatibility issue is something of the past. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
OK, any bad things about this case? Of course! There are always drawbacks. If you drop your phone with this case on any corner or on the back it'll probably be OK with this case on it. But what about the sides? Since the case actually starts below the edges, that would leave it vulnerable. Just something to keep in mind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So would I recommend a UAG case? Of course! This is one of the BEST cases you can get for your device! It's about 30,00 euros on Amazon, and 35 USD with free world shipping if you buy it directly from their website. The price is right on target for the quality of the case and design, but is it for everyone? No. It's pretty noisy, and actually detracts from the beauty of the device. But then again, ANY case that <b>actually </b>protects the device will. Just something to take into account. :) It's a VERY good case and I highly recommend UAG to everyone. My partner uses it at the gym every day because we all know which case will protect it if it falls. </div>

<span style="color: lime;">+ Very stylish</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">+ 4 colors to pick from</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">+ Very VERY well designed </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">+ Lighter than other solutions, but heavier than minimal solutions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">+ It doesn't raise my screen protector (BestSkinsEver, case friendly)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">+ Very easy to put on and take off, but it won't fall out!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">- Kind of expensive if you don't spend money on cases</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">- The sides are more exposed than other cases, but this also allows you to enjoy the infinity display</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;">- Shipping times take a while to Europe. I have tried both direct from Amazon (1 week delivery), and directly from UAG took about 2 weeks. </span></div>

And welcome to another one of my reviews. I just wanted to tell everyone about the Supcase Unicorn Beetle case. I got this off of Amazon for 19€ from Amazon Spain. <br />
<br />
But is it a <b>good</b> case? Let's find out!<br />
<br />
This has to be ONE OF my FAVORITE cases if you're looking for top level protection for a low price - but there are a lot of compromises. <br />
<br />

This a dual layer case. This means that you have to first insert your phone in the section of the left and then you have to fit it into the section to the right. This is how it gives you so much protection. First, it is suspended in the left plastic frame. After you insert it into the right silicone and rugged plastic you get a dual layer case. <br />

As you can see in this image the top ear speaker and all the sensors are completely exposed but they are also protected from drops. This case also adds a lip to the phone so that if you were to place it screen down on a table the phone would clear the table considerably not having to worry about scratches while sliding it around on the table. It shouldn't slide around regardless due to the fact that the case is also rubbery, so it should stand its ground on an airplane tray table or your own glass table.<br />

There are also some rubber feet on the back of the phone as well to avoid sliding around.<br />

I do believe that Supcase stole some of its inspiration from the UAG case (here's a shot from my upcoming UAG case)<br />

It's hard <u>NOT</u> to see the similarities in design, right?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Regardless of the design, we can see that the edge corners are exposed all the while being protected, which is good. They do not have any negative effect on the actual usage of the screen or the edges. Everything is very usable still - you can tell that they spent a lot of time and R&D on this device case so every little feature is still accessible. Kudo points for you, Supcase. :)<br />
<br />
One thing to note about this case is that most Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases come with a screen protector attached to the front, but this design didn't. Right now manufacturers are having a hard time creating screen protectors for the S7 Edge because of the curved display. Just keep that in mind. This case doesn't lift up the screen protectors since your device sits IN it rather than wrapping the case around it. <br />
<br />

<br />
The weight on the other hand of this case is actually A LOT. It makes the phone much heavier.<br />
<br />
Weights for the S7 Edge:<br />
<ul>
<li>157 grams - No case at all (and just a screen protector on)</li>
<li>213 grams - With the Supcase Unicorn Beetle + the same screen protector on mentioned before</li>
</ul>
<div>
That is pretty substantial - but I guess for the dual layer protection you're getting it's all right. But I am telling you, it feels like a brick now - so heavy!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even though it may look like the corners are extra protected, I don't believe they are any thicker than any other part of the rim of the case. I could be wrong, but just by looking at it inside, it does seem this way. Regardless, it does feel very substantial and protected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The charging port and 3.5mm jack are protected with a silicon flap. This is a very good idea for those phones that aren't waterproofed, but I don't think it's 100% necessary for the S7 Edge since it is already waterproof.<br />
<br />
<br />
On the downside of these flaps, I feel that they're very rugged - they put a lot of pressure on the micro usb charger when plugged in and also the 3.5mm headphone jack. It's probably nothing, but you can feel the resistance it is putting up while plugging it in.<br />

The ring around the camera lens and LED doesn't affect your shooting abilities at all, yay for that! Some cases do give you a ring while shooting with the LED. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
How about how easily it comes out of your pocket? It slides right out! The rubber is a very smooth rubber so it doesn't grab onto the inside of your pocket like silicone cases do. While on the topic of your pocket, it does add some thickness to your device (of course). Which means that it'll mark your inside pocket a little bit more, too ;). So bulging phone outline is way more noticeable than without a case FOR SURE. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Heat - I never felt my phone warm to begin with, and so with the case I didn't feel it either. While using the fast charger, normally the S7E gets warm, or maybe even warmer than normal but never hot. In the case you are bound to notice that it doesn't get as warm. This is probably because the layer between your hand and the phone is so thick that you won't really feel the heat! That's good and bad. Good because you won't feel the heat, and bad because the heat will be trapped inside the case and will take longer to dissipate. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the end, the design is nice, it is rugged and it will protect your phone very well despite adding all that weight I'd say it's a keeper! </div>

I got a second LG G5 and I decided I put it through its paces as well versus the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I only used the main camera on the LG G5 to compare - I can say that the wide angle camera is awesome. </div>

<i>This is how I take my shots for the shootout: Completely 100% auto, no changing of the white balance, no modifying the stops for the exposure. If I were to do that for every shot then each one would be superb. I believe that most people want to take a picture at the moment and whip out their cameras. I mostly shoot in manual mode, but for these tests I stay with 100% automatic with maybe some tap to focus shots just to be able to see what LG and Samsung have implemented into their devices and the software optimizations they have carried out. </i></div>

As we can see in this image, the G5 captures more of the yellow flowers that are ever so tiny as well as the detail of the leaves. This is mostly due to the amount of megapixels the G5 has over the S7 Edge.<br />

In the same image I just lowered a little bit and you can see the detail on the bricks is much higher and in focus. Usually the S7 Edge is on top in focus, but this wasn't a tap to focus ordeal. Very well done LG G5.<br />

The WB on the S7 Edge is a little off here, but that's OK. It's something you can fix in manual mode or even afterwards. Detail is better on the rocks and look more natural while the S7 looks a little over sharpened.<br />

In this shot the colors are very well represented but there is something about the ground on the S7 image that looks sharper and better. You can also see the drops of rain on the flower in the center left and they are more in focus as are the bulbs of the flowers.<br />

Both of these images came out perfectly but to personal taste I enjoy more the colors and detail of the G5. It may not be as sharp but there is more detail and it looks more artistic. I would send that to print and be very happy with the result as you can see below.<br />
Point to LG G5<br />

But how often do we just take a shot without focusing when pointing it at the only 1 thing that is in front of us? Well, I always tap to focus! So I thought I'd give the G5 a chance to focus and I manually focused both on the face of the statue and the S7 still came out on top even though both shots are very nice.<br />

In these two shots I tried to focus on the flowers and the S7 Edge was able to do so, but the G5 wasn't! It kept focusing on the floor. I would normally jump into manual mode but since is supposed to be a general shooter with everything on automatic except maybe tapping to focus, I decided to just leave it as is.<br />

Upon zooming with no touch to focus, I can see that the lamp post isn't as in focus neither are the leaves in the background on the G5. The S7 takes the prize!<br />

Then I tapped to focus on the G5, and got this gorgeous shot. Just because the colors are a little more pleasant of the leaves on the G5 I'd give it a point, but they're both excellent shots so they both get a point!<br />

While I was tempted to give the S7 this point, I decided to give it to the G5 because of those colors and representation. I think the leaves look nicer and less "crinkled" on the yellow flowers. The purple flowers across the bottom left also have a lot of detail over the S7.<br />

I had to double check that these were different images because they're so crisp and perfect. They're very much in focus and very well developed.<br />
Point to LG G5 and S7. Could I give another set of points for this macro shot? Why not, it's my blog :).<br />

I really had to pixel peep on this one, the roof of the house on the G5 has more detail than the house of the S7. Also, the window blinds have more detail than the same image of the S7.<br />

Thank you everyone for taking the time to look at this post. I really can't decide between the two cameras. They're both fantastic photo shooters. I'll talk about videos another day. </div>
<h2>
<br />Conclusion</h2>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">But as we can see there is no "clear winner" even though Samsung won by 2 points (or by 9%). All I can say is this: There is no one device that is a clear winner when shooting in completely automatic mode. In 2016 both LG and Samsung brought out the big guns. I'm very happy with both devices as cameras. I would say to pick the device that best fits your lifestyle because both cameras will do very well in very similar situations in automatic mode. Enjoy them! They both rock! </span></div>

I didn't fully trust what reviewers were saying, and I for one was always one
to form my own opinion. The LG G5 had a lot of negative publicity since its
initial release in the US. This is now a month later and we are no longer
talking about just a US release, we're talking about a GLOBAL release. This
device has been pushed back a few times while waiting for it here in Spain. I
was afraid of getting the same device that I saw on the internet of the first
batch with all its horrible issues - luckily I didn't have 90% of the issues
and this is a fantastic phone, but it's not perfect, especially considering the
price tag. Let's get right into it then!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;"><u>Build quality</u></span></h2>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">Build quality This device has a decent
build quality -- now, is it worth the 600-700 euro price tag? That's for you to
decide. I am also reviewing the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and that is a very
premium device that, ironically, has had a few price slashes and costs less
than the G5! But for all intents purposes this device isn't built badly, but it
certainly doesn't feel like a premium device due to the choice of materials -
while holding the G5 in the hand it feels … not metal, because the metal is
covered, and not plastic because it's not plastic either - it's a primer. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">I liked the LG G4 which was a mix of
leather and plastic, the LG G5 takes a radical change from the previous year,
at least in materials and design. This year, while the LG G5 maintains a
removable battery and expandable storage, it does so while mixing it up a
bunch. It's modular this year. (A lot of people weren't so sure about if it was
going to be a good idea, and only time will tell. As of right now there are
only 2 modules available and depending on the country you're in you might only
have access to one. But we'll get into the modules a little bit later.) </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The sides of the device are made of a
metal, as is the body of the phone - but it's not like a traditional metal
phone like the iPhone or an HTC device. It truly is a metallic device that has
been covered with a layer of primer and then coated with another layer of paint
and chips of metal. LG has come on the record to talk about the materials after
having this video go viral:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">So, is it well built? Yes. Is it a

surprised they went in this direction, to be honest. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The sides of the device do dig a little
bit in your hand, it's not smooth. It doesn't hurt of course, but if you've
ever played with... well, any other mobile device, this is the complete opposite of any device
in terms of build quality. Even the SIM tray doesn't sit flush into the sides. </span><br />

the sim tray adapter it feels like you can file your nails down, or even your
skin if you needed to. This doesn't really bother me, but it certainly doesn't
feel, and here's that special word once again, </span><b><span style="font-size: small;">premium.</span></b><span style="font-size: small;"> The same is true about
the lip where the magic slot comes out. The entire lip is easily raised or
lowered every time you run your finger down it. It's like quality control didn't exist for these devices, or that they pushed them out as fast as possible to get it to the market. I personally don't mind since I
usually have a case on my devices, but always for review periods I use them
without anything! In this generation of devices there were two exceptions: </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - due to the
fact that it's made mostly of glass on the front and back and if it were to
fall my heart would stop just a little bit. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;"><i>UPDATE: I returned my LG G5 for a new
one that came from a newer batch, which took 2
weeks to get out to me, and all the hardware issues with the bubbles of
paint, misalignment of the magic slot, recessed SIM card tray and the harsh
edges have been fixed. I'm very happy with the build quality now. But this
doesn't change the materials they have used
and I'm still worried about long term durability of it with our without
a case - some other people have mentioned that while using a case that really
sticks to the G5, when removing the case it sometimes pulls some of the paint.
Ouch. Hopefully this will not happen.</i></span></div>

used this primer on such an expensive device, I can see the price dropping
relatively quickly, and in the 2 weeks it had been out, at least here in Spain,
the price has already dropped from 700 euros to 639 euros to 560 euros.</span><span style="font-size: small; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">That's a 20% drop in 2 weeks. Now this feels
like a more correct price for the device we have now - super specifications but
lackluster R&D into the materials. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">At the time of this review there are
only two modules that are available for purchase. The B&O audio DAC, which
seems nice, but for the price of the G5 on preorder here in Europe, this 150€
addon should have been included (seeing that the V10 has a very similarly
spec'd DAC built in). </span><br />

that you have to remove the battery and shut down every single time you want
change. Imagine you want to go out of your hotel with your friend and or
family, you'll either have to leave the grip on thereby making the device
larger permanently, or shut down the phone, and eject the current module and
swap the battery to the camera grip module and then plug it back in and wait
for the device to turn back on. You could also lose one of these modules while exchanging it by leaving it in your bag or have it drop. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">Is it a great idea? Sure! But was it
the best implementation? Maybe LG was holding back for the LG G6 for a rather
stellar build quality and mechanism. Only time will tell. Until then, it seems
gimmicky but it could be very useful if you have the money to throw. </span><br />

<h2 style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;"><u>The display</u></span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The display on this device is
beautiful. It's colorful and saturated, it's incredibly sharp and detailed, and
bright in most situations. While I was doing the camera portion of the review,
which is a little bit lower, I didn't have trouble seeing any of the shots, but
I did have trouble with how bright it was on automatic while I was in a darker
environment while shooting something that wasn't in such a dark environment
such as taking a picture of sunset - the sun is in front of you and darkness
behind. But then again, it wasn't that big of an issue. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The display's glass is thick enough.
Having seen that video, you could imagine that the glass was so thin that you
could make the LCD ripple - and this is not true in the slightest. The screen
is perfect, the thickness is just fine, and there were no issues while using
it.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">Another issue that most people liked to
talk about was light bleed. This is something normal with most LCD displays
when you have the brightness cranked up and the background a darker color, like
black. In my case I did have VERY little light bleed.</span><span style="font-size: small; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">It is hardly noticeable and totally fine. </span></span></div>

lowered this year, which might be normal since this is a first generation
device (although, technically, it is a 5th).</span><span style="font-size: small; mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;">But the screen was reduced to 5.3" from the 5.5" that was on
the G4 the previous year. At least they kept the same screen resolution. In all
honesty, the screen does feel smaller and noticeable in use in compared to the
G4, or even the Galaxy S7 Edge with its "infinity" display that
bends, giving you the illusion that you're actually holding the display, rather
than the phone itself. I personally like the dimensions of the G5, so this
isn't an issue for me, but I have always been an advocate for larger-screened
phones. Regardless, this screen is beautiful, bright, vibrant, and incredibly
sharp! </span></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The always on display is a feature that
I turned off. I believe it drains far too much battery. LG announced that it
drains 0.8% per hour, so let's round it: 1% an hour. That's 24% of your battery
in 1 day. So, if you don't touch your phone in 1 day, you'll pick it up with,
at the highest, 76% battery the next day. This is ONLY the display and we're
assuming that every other function uses 0 (which isn't true, we're talking
about CPU, radios, processes, email and messages and phone calls). </span></div>

most important aspect of a phone for me nowadays. Since I had my LG G4 I haven't
carried a point and shoot camera anywhere. The quality will never be the same,
but these phones nowadays have such a great cameras that you can replace your
standard camera with your mobile phones. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">Let's get specific: This device shoots
some BEAUTIFUL shots. I'm of course talking about the primary rear 16mpx
camera. In combination to the 16mpx f/1.8 standard camera, which in itself is
an improvement over the LG G4 and V10 in terms of quality, rendering and
lighting, there is also an ultra-wide angled 8mpx camera. The secondary camera
isn't even close to the quality of the 16 in terms of quality (of course) nor
does it take good low light images - but damn these shots are very fun!</span></div>

focused, color representation is on the warmer side but are much more realistic
than the Galaxy S7 Edge which I have been using for the past 3 weeks. I have no
doubt that if you don't like the build quality of the G5, the modularity, or
any other aspect: the camera will be the thing that wins you over. I have yet
to find a device on the market that can truly compete with the camera UI,
features and quality.</span><span style="font-size: small; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">In regards to speed: it's very fast to
focus, and it gives you a very satisfying sensation when you do lock onto your
subject when you tap on the screen to focus on something. There is only 1 other
phone that is faster than the G5, and that is the Samsung Galaxy S7. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">In terms of quality, a lot of people
would like to compare it to the Samsung. In reality, these two devices are very
very good. I would generally give the upper hand to the G5 in terms of low
light, quality of the image, color representation and manual mode. If
photography (and not video) is important to you, then the G5 is your best bet.
I did find that while recording in UHD the OIS was a little bit too wobbly for
my tastes. Also, the bitrate is very good but there are devices on the market
that record in a higher bitrate. Slow motion was good, but there are, once
again, other devices out there that offer more options in terms in FPS.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">It's very difficult to say something
negative about the camera. It does a very good job. BUT if you were to twist my
arm about the LG G5's camera, I'd have to say that sometimes the pictures aren't
detailed enough and it actually looks like the shots were painted with brush
strokes which actually looks nice. Focus speeds are very good, but not as good
as some other newer technologies, especially in video recording, but they are
very very good. Also, the ability to focus and know that you have focused
correctly with either a red or green square is something that Samsung still
hasn't caught on to - So a big point in favor of the slower yet more accurate
focusing mechanism for LG. </span><br />
<br />
Video recording is improved from last year's LG G4, but it still wobbles and gives a jello effect. </div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;"><u>Audio quality</u></span></h2>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">Audio quality on this phone is very
good, loud and clear compared to most other phones on the market. This year the
LG G5 has a bottom-firing loud speaker, which in my opinion can either be a
fantastic idea or a terrible one depending on each person. The benefit of the
bottom facing speaker rather than the rear facing speaker like on most devices
is that sound isn't muffled while placed on the table. The bad thing about it
is that when you're holding it, and depending on how you hold it, the sound can
be muted by your own palm while playing a game, watching a video or just
holding it in general. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The one real issue I had with this
module is that it rumbles at higher levels all the while feeling a bit cheap
and hollow on the inside. But once again, generally speaking, it sounds better
than the competition. I'd rather have the higher and better sounding quality
and have a little rattle vs having a device that is tinny at higher volumes or
even lower volume. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">I have a very good internet
connection and a fairly decent router. The LG G5 gets SUPERB data speeds,
especially when referring to downloads. Uploads are nothing special, but also
they are not slow either.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;"><u>Conclusion</u></span></h2>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">This is a great phone with
fantastic specifications. It provides superb performance and that's on par with
what a device nowadays should be in 2016 - lag is a thing of the past. It even out performs the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with the Exynos processor inside. The
things that really worry me are the doubts about build quality and durability.
If this device were to fall, it would surely get nicked and the paint layer
would get chipped. Also, from what I've seen others talk about, the glass over
the screen is quite thin and could shatter more easily than other devices like
the iPhone or Samsung S7 and S7 Edge. Battery life isn't the greatest, but
being able to use QC 3.0 (faster than 2.0, naturally) is a plus. There is also
the added benefit of being able to exchange your battery whenever you'd like - still though there is nothing like not needing to charge your device in the middle of the day.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 107%;">The modules are a little gimmicky but
could be useful to those who. I also have my reservations about seeing how this
module system will hold up in 6 months. There have been several websites
complain about build quality after a few weeks of usage and how the paint would
chip around this end area around the modules (probably from playing around with
the modules so often for their reviews, but regardless this shouldn't be an
issue only a few weeks).</span><br />
<br />
The device is a solid shooter with the camera. I was a huge fan of the LG G4 camera and I am a very big fan of the LG G5 camera. Who is the device really aimed at? If the Samsung devices are aimed at more fashion forward people, I'd guess the G5 is aimed more at the technological people who want to tinker and be able to swap out batteries and geek out! There is even a wide angle lens built into the camera! How awesome is that!?</div>

<br />
Well, I sent back the first LG G5 because it had some defects that I didn't like.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Not flush SIM tray.</li>
<li>Unaligned magic slot</li>
<li>Battery life was very sub par</li>
<li>Bubbles under the paint</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><u>Now I have a new G5 that is in perfect condition </u></b>:) I'm a happy camper! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think on a device that costs as much as this one does you should expect and actually get a device that's perfect. In reality, the LG G5 costs roughly the same as the S7E if you price hunt a little. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really like both phones. The G5 feels like a traditional phone that's very light. The S7E feels like a piece of art. I wouldn't dream of using either of these phones without a case. For the G5 I have a UAG case, which in my experience have been the best bang for the buck, and for the S7E I have a UAG case and a Supcase Unicorn Beetle case which really makes the phone feels ultra protected, as does the UAG case. But when I publish my case reviews you'll see the difference between them.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well, one of my most favorite things to do is to really look at the cameras. This is where I am most interested, and I am REALLY having a hard time deciding. Each device has it's own strong points and weak points...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Photography is really important to me, and I think the <b>G5 offers better options</b>, but I am also worried about <b>build quality over time</b>... <b>The Galaxy S7 Edge, if you take care of it, offers superb build quality</b>... and a very very fast camera. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today I'm taking both cameras out and I'm going to review both shooters with 100% automatic modes, only focusing manually in a secondary shot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm going after the best basic shot. I know with manual mode you can fix everything, but when you're on vacation or you want to capture <i>that shot </i>you won't have time to play with white balance or exposure times...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So let's see how it goes!</div>

<i>UAG for LG G5</i></div>
<br />
Exciting devices! :) Exciting cases! Especially with this generation of devices, I wouldn't dare NOT use a case. I mean, come on! LG G5 has a very thin glass screen, as well as a painted body which can easily be scratched (and when I say easily, I mean very easily... I've seen in the forums that people can do it with their phone). And the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is all glass! Yes, while it might not shatter in your hand, a drop could shatter the screen or back... The back I wouldn't mind as much since it would be in a case, but the screen is the most important thing for me... If I get a single scratch I can't bare to look at it any more.<br />

I decided to have a shoot out of two of the best cameras on the market on a mobile phone. To my surprise they're quite comparable, but in some situations one is better than the other.<br />
<br />
I'm <b>not a professional photographer</b>, but I do like to take pictures with my phone since I don't have my camera on me most of the time. So please take this pictures with a grain of salt as your mileage may vary! <b>Both devices are my <u>own personal devices that I purchased with my own money</u>, so there is 0 sponsorship here. Google doesn't pay me for ads or traffic. Neither Samsung nor LG even know I bought their devices for this test. So these are 100% my findings and 100% mine alone with 0 influence from anyone.</b><br />
<br />
<i>Note: All were taken in auto mode, with auto focus unless specified. First is zoomed out image and then 100% crop.</i><br />

In this picture we can see that more detail is in the the G5 image, mostly due to the 16mpx shooter versus the 12 megapixel shooter on the S7 Edge. There is no real clear winner, but I'd give the G5 the upper hand in this image solely due to the higher megapixel. Both shots are very well exposed, very good quality and neither of them took a better shot for sharpness.<br />

In this indoor shot the S7E pulls ahead due to the text on the LG G5 UAG case (another review that's coming up in the near future!). The G5 does have a higher resolution camera, but the sharpness of the S7E wins in this test. The text on the box for G5 and Drop Tested just looks better on the S7E. It's also very sharp, but both did a good job.<br />

Here in this image is where we begin to see bigger differences. Just looking at the greens in these bushes clearly shows the color representation on the G5 is superior. In the bushes you can see that there are "patches" of colors, where in the S7E image you can't clearly see them. Greens are more vibrant as well as having the stones being much more clearly defined.You can even read the text on the G5 for the pillar. The winner is clearly the G5.<br />

This image is just another 100% crop from the previous image. We can, once again, see how the colors aren't correctly interpreted by the S7E. These bushes do have patterns of yellow / green, where as in the S7E camera they're all blended together. G5 still wins this shot.<br />

G5 shoots a sharp image, but the S7E shoots a brighter image. But the greens on the G5 are more intense and feel richer. I'd give colors to G5, and overall quality to the S7E. Neither shot bad shots!<br />

This picture is much sharper on the S7E, but once again, color representation isn't the best on the S7E, so I decided to add one of the filters in the pro mode (still having everything in automatic of course) and I was able to shoot the following image. </div>

While both shots are VERY good, I must say I prefer the black lines around the antler in the S7E image. But once again, both are very good, Mostly the pixels seem to be crisper on the S7E vs the G5 - I do doubt that anyone could say that the G5 takes bad pictures though, because these are superb pictures.<br />

Colors in this image are more correct on the S7E, and also the numbers on the phone and the blacks on the pillow look better on the S7E. While inspecting the cable, I do find that the G5 captures more details. In the S7E shot you can see that there is some cable inside, but you can't really say which color is which, but in the G5 image you can clearly see which color is where. Tie? Yes, tie.<br />

This is a difficult shot to decide which is better. So neither get my vote! Or both, however you want to look at it.<br />

In all these low light shots I was expecting the S7E to destroy the G5, ironically it didn't. Most pictures seem the S7E was darker, and less focused than the G5! Way to go LG.<br />

I spoke to soon, In this picture, and the following, LG totally disappointed me - just look at that quality! So many artifacts; the S7E destroyed the G4 in this highlighter image as well as the keyboard image on the Surface Pro 4.<br />

The Euro shot clearly falls in favor of the S7E where the image is both brighter and has more detail.<br />

The same can be said about this shot with the remote. Blacks are darker and whites are brighter,<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Conclusion</h2>
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and LG G5 are very good cameras. There is no clear winner for them, but we can say that some scenarios fall in favor of one devices versus the other.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
LG G5 strong points</h3>
<div>
Color reprenstation is superior</div>
<div>
Ourdoor low light shots are fantastic</div>
<div>
Detail in the images, due to the 16 megapixel camera</div>
<div>
Very good 16:9 ratio (most TVs, monitors and phones have this ratio)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Weak points</h4>
<div>
Focus is slower, sometimes having trouble to focus correctly</div>
<div>
details are sometimes washed away and become blurry regardless of having a 16 megapixel camera.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<h3>
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge strong points</h3>
<div>
Indoor low light shots are great</div>
<div>
Colors are fairly accurate, especially indoors. </div>
<div>
Very fast at focusing</div>
<div>
Generally speaking the S7E locks on to the device in front of you very quickly and automatically. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
Weak points</h4>
<div>
Color accuracy outdoors</div>
</div>
<div>
Less detailed shots at 12 megapixels</div>
<div>
The 4:3 ratio is good for Instagram, and 1:1 shots. This will cut images if you want to use them as a background on most monitors, for example.</div>

The reason why I got the S7 Edge was because I was waiting for the LG G5 to come out, but multiple delays in Europe sent the date further and further back. So while I was waiting I got the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - probably one of the most novel device I've used in a while. Let's jump right into the review.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Design </span></b></h2>

It's a metal frame that has been sandwiched by two panes of glass. The top, where the screen is located, is curved and has an "infinity" display. It really gives the illusion that you really are holding the screen in your hand rather than holding the phone itself. If you've never tried a double edged device, you should go to your local store and try it out! It's very novel and looks very cool. In the hand the device is gorgeous, feels solid, well built. No one could or would ever say that the device is poorly crafted. It comes in multiple colors: I only had the white and black models. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">On the positive side of this is that the device is now water resistant! IP68 for those of you that know what it means. For those of you who don't, that means that is both dust proof and water resistant up to 1.5 meters and up to 30 minutes at once.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The fingerprint scanner is located on the home button - in my tests it is mostly usable, very quick. I don't like that I have to press the button to make it activate (or have the screen on) when other devices are already scanning always as soon as it detects a finger on it. As long as your fingers are clean and dry, then it'll work very well! </span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The display on this device is do sharp and detailed. It is one of the highest resolution screens on the market. The display is very visible in outdoor usage and is so saturated. For those of you who don't like saturated looks, as I don't as much, there are options to tone down the display and get more lcd like quality colors. This came in handy multiple times as I find the display sometimes to oversaturate the colors to the point that I wouldn't enjoy some of the yellows and greens. But since this is fixable by going into the display settings you can't be sad or hold it against Samsung. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The curves on this screen are what make this device so special. Now if you think it is a gimmick, well, it is! There really is no real reason to have it. In fact sometimes it's a curse. Holding the phone sometimes presses other buttons and opens apps all on its own, as does trying to use it with one hand. One of my favorite tech review sites also stated the same thing happening with them. Hopefully Samsung can push something out to fix this or have some kind of palm rejection similar to what other laptops and tablets have when you have a pen near the screen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are very useful functions though. If the screen is off you can rub the screen and get notifications. You can have the edge menu come up with shortcuts to people, apps, tasks, compass and rulers, etc. It's fairly customizable and many can be downloaded from the web as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The always on display (AOD) is very bright and you can see it in any light setting, but I find it far too distracting - the AOD moves every 1 minute, to avoid burn in. So every 1 minute I see movement on the desk and it distracts me, so I personally have it turned off. I would have liked it to be static. Customization is very plentiful with this device with different clock styles and images, background etc. You can even show a calendar! All very handy. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Volume and Speaker</span></b></h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The volume on this device is actually quite low… This is of course due to the fact that it is IP68 certified. Any phone that has been IP68 certified always sounds a little muffled, sadly. As an example, where on my LG G4 and G5 I would keep the volume at around 30-50%, on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge I would have to keep the volume at 75% or higher to get similar volume. This isn't the ideal device to share your music with someone. On the positive side, sound is good quality even though a little tinny. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Camera</span></b></h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I am a camera phone junkie. The shots produced by the S7 and S7 Edge are very well lit, and focus incredibly fast but I have to say that I wasn't too overly pleased with the quality of these photos coming from the LG G4. The rear camera has a 12 megapixel camera with f/1.7, and is optically stabilized - this means that it won't shake as much when holding it, and the f/ 1.7 aperture means that it can take some superb low light images. The front camera is a wider 5 megapixel shooter, which doesn't have OIS - to be fair, the only device that has OIS on the front camera is the HTC 10. Please see the post that I had published in <a href="http://zkent85.blogspot.com.es/2016/04/lg-g4-vs-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-camera.html" target="_blank">a previous post</a> comparing the camera quality between <a href="http://zkent85.blogspot.com.es/2016/04/lg-g4-vs-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-camera.html" target="_blank">the LG G4 and the S7 Edge</a>. I think LG have put a fantastic amount of work into that phone and its camera - sadly I can't say the same about the LG G5 since it produces very similar images to the S7 Edge (you'll have to wait for another comparative shootout, I suppose). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The camera focuses ultra-quickly. Its macro shots are very sharp, and you can get closer to your subject than with other competing devices (LG G4, V10 and G5). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Low light is superb on the Samsung device. Check out the detail of these two shots:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Day light shots are good, but I do feel like it is a step down from the LG G4 that I had before and was, personally, a favorite as a shooter. But every device has pros and cons, and you just need to try them both. Regardless, the biggest issue I had with the S7 Edge is that color representation wasn't very true to life. Details were over aggressively deleted with Samsung's algorithms with over-sharpening. Here are a few examples from my shootout with the LG G5 and the S7 Edge:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As you can see, colors are not as well represented and in the circled areas the colors are all blended together. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Selfie shots are a bit wider than most other devices, but not as wide as the dual camera on the LG V10. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Manual mode on this phone isn't as great as the LG G4 and G5, but it is much better than not having it. If you have time to fiddle with the settings you can get some incredibly beautiful, saturated and exposed images. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Battery life</span></b></h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'm getting a full day with about 4-5 hours of screen on time, which is better than most devices since this phone has a 3,600 mah battery, which his huge compared to other devices. Also, software optimization has a lot to do with it. I have seen on some forums that people are getting up to 6-8 hours of SOT, which is insane. I for one don't make any exceptions for my device, it needs to work for me, so I keep radios on, brightness at the level I want, and don't disable any push notifications. This device will last 95% of people through the entire day. I can get about 2 days of battery life with more limited usage. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Conclusion </span></b></h2>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I really enjoy this device. It's very novel. It feels like a piece of art. I am afraid I'll drop it and shatter it to pieces - that's why I have invested in a good quality case (a few of them in fact), and what's appearing to be problematic is finding a good screen protector that's case friendly - but that's for another day! For me the most important things are:</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Battery life - it has great battery life. If it had just "ok" battery life, and a non-replaceable battery then this would have been a bust for me.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Camera - this phone has a great camera, but I only have 2 issues - color representation seems to be on the whiter side, and the aspect ratio. Both are OK! So no big deal, but it would have been better for me if were a more traditional ratio and more on the darker side. </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Other things? Build quality is awesome - much better than the LG G5. </span></div>

Welcome to a shoot out. I've had the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge for a few days now, and the first thing I did was do a shoot out compared to my 1 year old LG G4. The results and samples are published below. <b>Many people say that the S7E I have was defective, so I got a second, which had the exact same results. I will not be talking about speed, battery life, or UI - this is purely from a camera perspective. Another post to be coming soon with my opinion about the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Disclaimer & Information</u>. <i>The LG G4 has 16mpx camera, and the S7E has a 12mpx camera, but I tried to zoom out of the larger G4 camera to have approx. the same size for these first few shots. All shots were done with auto-mode. Also, neither Samsung nor LG sponsor me, pay me, or encourage me to do these tests. I did these of my own volition. I paid for both of these devices with my own hard earned money. Therefore, I can guarantee that no company has paid for any of these opinions.</i></div>

This image details that the G4 has much better color representation... I can confirm that the LG G4 does do a much better job at showing the correct colors, these were most true to life and vivid. Those blues in the graffiti and walls are the correct colors. It seems as if Samsung just washed them out or that the auto mode is just too bright to begin with. Either way, its white balance metering is not too great.</div>

While sitting down I decided to take a picture of my shoe. Again, not realistically captured in the S7E image, but not only that, the details are missing from the image. All you need to do is look at the button to the right of shoe shoe. The LG G4 offers a better focused, more detailed and incredibly crisp image.</div>

Colors here are washed out, colors are off. Details, once again, are missing. It's as if the sky was splashed with a hint of gray along with the blue. That gray paint also got lowered into the structure as well. <br />

Night time pictures are SUPERB on the S7E, I assume this is due to the f1.7 aperture vs the f1.8 on the G4. The G4 was set to 30 seconds, and the S7E to 10 (their respective max's). S7E produces a much more beautiful image. Colors here are actually very good for a nighttime shot. </div>

The sky was much bluer in the G4, which was the actual blue color - and trees were made a strange green on the S7E. </div>

As we can see in this picture, from the distance, the white on the penguin is a little shot. A little too white for my taste, but details on both are very crisp --- from a distance.<br />

At 100% zoom, you can see that the details on the G4 are crisper than those on of the S7E, but not by much, but the S7E image is fuzzier without a doubt. Colors are also correct on the G4, once again. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. <br />

S7E wins in this case. I even tried to <b>retake</b> the G4 shots just to see if I had taken the picture incorrectly, and sadly, this was the best I could do. Without a doubt the S7E focuses better, faster, and takes better macro shots! Details are crisp and clear in macros. <br />

Once again, the S7E wins - focuses fast and correctly, whereas the G4 didn't do so well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div>
<b><u>Results:</u></b></div>
Generally speaking, the S7E does better with macro shots and low l. The G4 does better with indoor and outdoor shots. <br />
S7E Wins in:<br />
<ul>
<li>Low light images (night time images)</li>
<li>Macro shots</li>
<li>Speed to shoot </li>
<li>Focus speed</li>
</ul>
<div>
LG G4 wins in:</div>
<ul>
<li>General over all quality of images</li>
<li>Clarity in outdoor images along with indoor images as well</li>
<li>Color reproduction</li>
<li>White balance in most situations</li>
<li>Time lapse (up to 30 seconds vs the 10 seconds on the S7 Edge)</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div>
Night mode the S7E destroys the G4 with its better 1.7 aperture. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you all have enjoyed this shootout! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can't wait to get the G5 in the next week or so to be able to compare G4 and G5, and also G5 and S7E. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think for the money, the G4 is your best bet. It's around 330 euros on Amazon and the Galaxy S7 Edge is around 800 euros. If the camera is the most important feature for quality, then the G4 is your best bet. The S7E takes very fast images and very good low light images. The S7E seems to be more of a status symbol and a feat of awesome build quality and long battery life, but its shooter isn't one of its highlights, sadly, when compared to the LG G4 in terms of quality. That doesn't mean the S7E isn't a good phone, on the contrary - it is a FANTASTIC phone. I enjoy it very much! I just think that it doesn't outdo what the G4 can do except for in a very few specific fields.</div>

I am very impatiently waiting for some new devices to get to my doorstep, so what I did was head downtown and take some pictures with the sample phones at the stores!<br />
<br />
<u><b>Disclaimer</b></u>: I'd like to say that these are in no way professional pictures. I just grabbed the phones, opened the camera app and made sure they were on auto mode, and focused them and snapped the shots. I believe this is how most people will take pictures, but still - this isn't professional photography, it was just playing around!<br />

As you can see, the G4 on the right takes a fantastic shot, but the S7 Edge takes a brighter shot. But upon double clicking on the windows default photos app on each picture in the same area you can see this:<br />

All of the picture as a whole is brighter, yes, but we're missing a lot of details. The G4 picture is much sharper and easier to read. Compare A and B, and then C and D.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I was very impressed with the build quality of the S7E, but not at all with the picture quality... Low light, yes, but picture quality as a whole no.</div>

The white balance is nicer and more correct on the G5. Take a look at A and B, detail is almost identical, and colors are better on A than B (more true to life).</div>

Since this picture didn't produce any winners or losers, even though G5 was a little better in colors, I took the SAME picture but didn't focus on what I clicked to focus! But rather in the corner.</div>

My partner just got a G4 on Amazon to replace the aging Xperia Z Ultra. I asked to use it and placed it on the table. I took these pictures, I know... from different angles, but what we're looking for is the different quality in shots! I took 3 pictures from each (3 from the G4, and then 3 from the G5, but one was with the second camera). These were the best of the two:</div>

<div>
The G4 takes AWESOME shots, but look at the difference in detail! </div>
<div>
A - in focus</div>
<div>
B - is not in focus</div>
<div>
C - in focus</div>
<div>
D - is not in focus</div>
<div>
E - you can see the G4 is brand new with the sticker on the volume rocker</div>
<div>
F - You can't even see it! </div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
I really would like to say that I was expecting the S7E to take much better pictures than it did, sadly. Regardless, I'm very happy to say that the LG G4 is a FANTASTIC shooter. 1 year old, slower processor, less memory, a couple of updates later and it's still rocking a very good camera. As of right now the LG G4 costs around 350€ on Amazon Spain, and the LG G5 is on pre-order for 700€. Maybe these prices will change, but for now that's what they are. I'd say the G5 is superior, of course, but is it double the price superior? Well, that's up to you! </div>
<h2>
Winner is the G5 without a doubt.<br />Followed by the G4<br />S7E is great, but not as good as the other 2! (surprising, right?)</h2>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The devices tested for this review:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4gb/128gb i5</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8gb/256gb i5</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am a <b><u>very amateur reviewer</u></b>, I'm basically writing my opinion of this device. I am in no way a professional, so please take everything with a grain of salt. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Onward to the review!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Hardware</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is one of the nicest pieces of hardware that I've ever used. I have actually owned multiple SP4 devices and every since one has been very well crafted. All I can say is that Microsoft really went all out to make these devices. That doesn't mean that they're perfect though. Let's take a look at the device.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The screen resolution is superb, and you can see everything very well. I have a SP3 in house, but my personal device was a SP2. Honestly, 1080p is more than enough for me. But the SP4 has a screen with a resolution of 2736 x 1824. This is very high resolution. To give you an idea, the SP3 has a 2160x1440. The SP2 had a 1080p, so as we can see, MS has upped again the screen. This leads us to another issue that most people have been having prior to the 2016 lots : light bleed. I had on ALL of my devices a small amount of light bleed, except with one which had A LOT and another one which had nearly none. Light bleed is only noticeable when turning on the Surface Pro 4 from a boot. So, that's OK. I never noticed it in my every day usage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The only issue I've seen with this screen is that Microsoft has made the glass thinner, so you can see it "wobble" a little when using the pen. When pressing down you can see how the screen touches the LCD panel and "rainbows." I've confirmed this with every SP4 I had and with many followers. I don’t think it's a big issue, but it certainly could have been made thicker, but then the device as a whole would have been made thicker as well. Y</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Surface Pro 4, spec wise, comes with the latest generation Skylake processors. At the time of this publication there are multiple issues with this processor. I've also checked other devices as a replacement for the Surface Pro 4 (such as the HP Spectre x360, with the Skylake processor as well and the Dell Inspiron 2-in-1, also with Skylake processor) - all the devices have issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The current issues that can be found with the Surface Pro 4:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sleep battery drain.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Light bleed.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Battery drain while having the keyboard attached and shutting down.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Screen flicker at lower power settings.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chrome crashes (probably Google's fault, but nevertheless, an issue).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Short battery life.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The device takes a few seconds more than most other devices to come out of sleep mode - a known issue, Microsoft is working on it.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Other than that, this device has been a pleasure. One of the 6 devices I've had had a physical defect, which is probably just bad luck. The device wouldn't connect to the projectors or monitors I use my devices with. I even went out of my way to try new adapters and cables, neither of which were the issue - it was the actual device - Returned. With all the other devices I haven't had any hardware issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Performance</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Speeds are very good on the SP4. But we have to take into account that this is still a portable device. I owned a Surface Pro 2 before, but I never really used it at home. I only used it as a work computer (which meant connected it to the projector at work or another monitor, and that's it). I always used my desktop computer. My 2011 desktop computer is an:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can see, my desktop that is now nearly 5 years old is faster than my 2015/2016 Surface Pro 4. But that doesn’t mean that the Surface Pro 4 isn't a great device, because it is. It's a very good device that has a lot of power. Basically, in my sub 800 gram device I have 2/3rds the power of my desktop for basic processing power. I just don't think a laptop can replace a desktop just as of yet for those more power hungry users. But for casual users, we've reached that point a few years ago…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Gaming is another story. I can play some games on my SP4 that I install off of steam, which all play well on the lowest settings. I mostly played indie style games, so nothing intensive. I also played hearthstone. If you turn down the settings to their lowest settings you can also get away with NO fan noise! Yes, that's correct - no fan noise. That's incredible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On most of the devices the fan noise was at a minimum, except when doing a lot of downloading or syncing - then noise was more noticeable. For the majority of time though the fan was completely silent, just the way I like it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">SSD Performance was very good on the 256 model. Read speeds are superb on both devices, but the 128gb model has some rather slow write speeds. This is a common issue with all the Samsung SSDs that HP, Dell and MS are using. But the good news is that read speeds are very speedy and I'm Microsoft saw this to be the most important aspect in picking the right drive - faster reads = faster load times. In general, speeds have been good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The good thing about the Surface Pro line is that you can expand the storage with a Micro SD card. Up to 2TB, yes, up to 2 TB! Of course, right now you can put up to 200GB. I have been using the same Micro SD card for the last 3 years in my laptops and surface devices - all I can say is that it works well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As you can see the performance speeds for the 256 model outshines the 128gb model. It's basically double the speed, since it has double the storage. It would be funny to open it up and see 2 - 128gb drives.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>The Pen</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love the pen. This is by far the best Surface pen they have released to date. I also have a few other digital pens that I used with other tablets I had owned, and this one just feels right. It sits very well in the hand. It magnetically sticks to the surface so you don’t lose it. Here's a tip, point the nibs toward the top, for some reason the magnets are stronger in this arrangement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Regarding the nibs, my partner got me a pack of the extra nibs (10 dollars, or 10 euros standard, or 9 dollars or 9 euros with a student discount), and I REALLY love them. They fit many different situations and it really helps if you have a screen protector on the screen. They're fantastic and I would totally invest in a set of them because they allow you to change how you write. Does it physically change the way you write? No, but it does offer you a different feeling while sliding across the screen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The eraser on the top is very useful for correcting mistakes. Taking notes on it or digitally drawing is a real pleasure. As for art, I use Art Rage, which is a very user friendly and intuitive program. I highly recommend it. It supports pressure sensitivity, which is really nice for those who want to doodle around.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Battery life</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Battery life is a big issue for a lot of people. There are many models to pick from when you look at the Surface Pro line.</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">m3</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i5</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">i7</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Being fairly active on the forums I've seen that the i7 has been having worse battery life than the i5 model, since it has the same battery size but the CPU is clocked at higher speeds. The m3 model has a smaller battery, but it also has a slower processor which sips battery. As of right now there is an issue with the Skylake processors that don't allow them to go into the deepest sleep mode. This drains the battery while in sleep mode, which is probably one of the worst things a professional could ask for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then there is the issue that either Windows 10 or the Skylake processor isn't being efficient. Basically, what it's doing is letting an application throw it into turbo mode when it isn't necessary, therefore jumping from, for example, 5W drainage to 15W… This can be remedied quite easily by limiting your processor maximum speeds. I've seen some people say by limiting it to 99%, others to 90%. Personally, I have created 2 new power plans</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">CPU 50% always, even if plugged in. This means that the CPU has a maximum of 50% usage when on battery and when plugged in.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The CPU can go to 100% while plugged in, which will give best performance unless you get to the point where it's being throttled thermally, not usually my case. But when you unplug it, it goes to 50% maximum which is great for when you have to do some work. I can tell you that that at 50%, you're getting just slightly less than M3 speeds (I'm sure if you boost it to 60%, you'd see M3 speeds). But this is WAY more than enough for your day to day stuff like:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Keyboard</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sold separately, it's not cheap either. But it's very comfortable to use. I wrote this entire thing on my lap while sitting on my sofa using just my Surface Pro 4. The trackpad is lightyears ahead of the SP2's fuzzy trackpad and is larger and better spaced over the SP3's. It comes in many different colors, so pick the one you like the best. I don't recommend getting the Sp4 without the keyboard, though. It SHOULD come in the package, but it doesn't. Get ready to fork over some more cash to get this!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I don't game on my Surface device much. I did install a few games during Christmas break while I was travelling. I really enjoy indie style games, like Terraria, Rogue Legacy, etc. These games run just fine. If you play for a little while the fan might come on. I know this isn't a gaming machine, and I'm not much of a mobile gamer to be honest.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Final Thoughts</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was looking to replace my dated Surface Pro 2 because it was very heavy, and I didn't much like the keyboard over the last few years. The Surface Pro 4 seemed like the perfect upgrade. While I like it, it isn't for everyone. If you're just the casual user who looks at a document every now and then, browse the web and check email, you can get practically any device. The Surface Pro 4 is a very sleek, well built, and gorgeous looking device. It definitely competes, lookwise, with the other ultrabooks and Macbook lineup. It's not cheap, it doesn’t do anything perfectly, but it's light, it has a pen, it runs Windows 10 directly from Microsoft, it has plenty of configurations (anywhere from m3 processor with 4gb ram and 128gb ssd to an i7 with 1tb ssd and 16gb ram, with many configurations in the middle).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Who is it for? I guess for anyone who needs a powerful device to do mobile computing that's very portable. I plan on taking this bad boy with me everywhere I go! It's powerful enough to run Photoshop, Fireworks, and other programs, and light enough to throw in your bag and hardly notice it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'd totally recommend getting the keyboard. It's very worth it. It's a very nice upgrade over the Surface Pro 2 keyboard, and a slight improvement over the SP3 keyboard.</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Start the registry editor (regedit.exe).</span></i><i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power.</span></i><i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Double-click CsEnabled and set to 0, then click OK.</span></i></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then you can go into the power settings and create a new profile. Be aware, turning CsEnabled to 0 will remove SLEEP MODE on your device. Make all the changes you want, and then put CsEnabled back to 1, and you will have sleep once again, and it will keep all the changes you had made to your power plans.</span><br />

The LG G4 Urban

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This is a fantastic
case that's very styling. It's very easy to put on and take off, but it does
have its cons as well. For example, if you are using a leather case, then it's
a bit more difficult to take off - well, let me explain. The actual case is easy
to take off, but it usually rips off the leather back case as well. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The edges have drop
protection, the case is very well made. I can honestly say that this is
probably one of the BEST cases you can ever find if you're looking for
something that protects your device. It has lips in every direction so you know
that your phone will never get scratched if you leave it on a table face down
or face up, which is important if you're also worried about scratching the
screen or the camera. </span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The actual design is
actually quite nice. It looks very modern. This isn't the case you'd probably
give your grandma or take into an office meeting. I think UAG is going for a
modern younger look. Of course with words like GEAR and ARMOR, you're not going
to get those shiny mirror cases from other brands, or the bland styling of
another case that you can get off of AliExpress or eBay for a fraction of the
case. I mean, just look at the faux screws in there! They don't really do anything, but add a nice flare of armor and military design.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'd say the best
backs are the plastic ones. This is good because if you're using a leather
back, and try to remove the case, the case removes the back with it and this is
actually somewhat problematic since it's sometimes harder to remove the leather
back from the case than removing the actual case! - Then again, it's not such a
big deal. While that might be one of the negative points, I must add how UAG has made every cut out absolutely perfect. The IR blaster has a perfect cut out, the micro USB charging port is large enough to accommodate every single charger I own. The headphone port fits every pair of headphones I own, too - but that's not hard, I often use the smaller headed headphones. Every microphone is open and allows sound to travel through with ease. All the buttons are accessible as well (power, volume up and down). The camera opening is more than enough and, more importantly, the flash isn't messed with by the edges of the case - a very common issue with a lot of cases that are cheaper (I can't tell you how many times a flash has destroyed a picture when it bounces off a case and this totally ruins the moment!) Good job UAG :) </span><br />

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The case offers
fantastic protection, just as we have come to expect from UAG. On the other
hand, it does make the device noticeably fatter. If you don't mind the looks of
a fatter device, then you can rest assure knowing that UAG has your LG covered!

I've had this case
for a few weeks now and I have been testing it out. I must say that this is,
probably, one of the most rugged cases you can get for your Surface Pro
devices. UAG makes them for multiple devices, including phones and other
computers and tablets, but sadly I have only tried this for the Surface Pro 4. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
You can get it in a
few different colors. Check out their website. </div>

UAG got this case
out to me to test out on my review SP4, but in the end I ended up buying myself
a SP4 because I love this darn thing so much. The last thing I'd want is to
have it fall or get scratched. Usually I don't mind the body, but the screen is
so important.<br />
<br />
The first thing you'll notice is how nice and well built it is. It certainly feels like a premium product, and it is! Especially for the price, you should be expecting something that feels good in the hand, feels solid while using, and feels like it'll outlast your device. I got a UAG Cobalt colored case, and it is indeed very nice.<br />
<br />
On my SP4 I keep a screen protector, not a glass one, but rather
a plastic one. But I don't know if it will be 100% necessary anymore because
there is a lip on this UAG case that raises the SP4 up from the ground. So you
can place this on the table and there could be little specks here and there,
but since it is raised, the screen won't physically touch the table. This is
very good news of course, but you must always be careful because a large enough
piece of sand or something sharp could reach the screen, and this goes the same
for any case or device - so just be careful. </div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
This case is quite
easy to put on, and very difficult to take off. The best way I've found to do
this is by using the bottom right or bottom left to wedge it out first, and
then go to the opposite side of the bottom, and then after that you can
practically slide it out. I did have some trouble while figuring this out and
felt like I was going to break the Surface while trying to get it out of the
UAG case. This is both good and bad, good because it means it won't fall out or
come out accidentally; and bad because it's not a case you'll slap on like your
phone in 2 seconds. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Let's talk about the
angles: The UAG doesn't have as wide of range as the original kickstand, see
images. As you can see in the pictures there are multiple angles with the
mechanism. They are not like the SP4 stand, which you can put anywhere between
the minimum and the maximum. Here are there are little pegs that ride up and
down - this means you can put it on any one of the little pegs and have it
stand there without any issue - it's a very firm stand. Keep in mind though
that you won't be able to hit the lowest angle like we do with the SP4 (for
example, for writing or taking hand written notes in class or in meetings).
Here is a picture of the lowest angle:</div>

And here are some
images of the kick stand compared to the SP4's original in the minimum and
maximum. As we know and love, the SP4 kickstand doesn't have a minimum - you
just unfold it and you can place it in any angle, but I put it in this angle
which is one of the lowest I could put my SP4 standing up (of course I wouldn't
leave it at this height just in case, if I were to touch the screen it would
probably fall over.</div>

The stability of the
kick stand is very good! I mean, very, very good! The kickstand is very firm,
held in place by plastic pieces that snap into place. Neat mechanism, but isn't
as good as the original SP4 stand mechanism of course. It won't be switching
angles on its own any time while pressing down. The actual stand is made of a
kind of metal which is very cool to the touch. I'd be worried about scratching
the table if you have a very easily scratched surface (meaning table, not
device haha). The bottom of the stand isn't actually sharp by any means, but it
feels ultra-sturdy, which is a great feeling to have. But I'd rather air on the
side of caution and not let it sit on any dark IKEA furniture. </div>

If you were to place
your device closed and case down on the table, would it slide? The case itself
is rubbery plastic, but the kick stand, being made of metal, could slide. But
it's a lot less slippery than if the Surface Pro 4 were on the table without a
case; in that situation the SP4 would slide without any doubt since it's so
slippery. So it's great to know that you could place this, case side down of
course, on the table or glass and not have it slide away. The texture and
design really help the case grab on to the surface of the table. </div>

some specifics: </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
Can you fold the
keyboard back all the way? No… You can't sadly. What happens is this - the
keyboard detaches. This is due to the thickness of the case, and there are some
trade-offs of course to having such a rugged case. This is fine. Most of the
time I have my bag with me and if I need to disconnect the keyboard, I just
throw it in my bag and continue with what I was doing. I know this isn't the
ideal situation for most people though. </div>

The inside of the case is a textured honeycomb design, and I'm sure there's a reason for it. You can't see it from the outside, so it's not for design purposes. The inside of the case is made from a rubbery, hard plastic material. So it'll cushion and hold tight - too tight sometimes (I'm mentioning this again because there are no instructions on how to put it on or take it off in the box, but when removing, take off a lower corner by bending it a little bit. If you try and take it off the entire case at once by bending both corners, for instance, you might hear a crack or two! Not good! So go slow, and do one lower corner at a time. After you get the two bottom corners off you can slide the device out very easily).</div>

accessible and something that is fantastic this time around is the charging
cable - this time you can put it in either direction! So no need to keep it in
only one position like previous versions (I can't speak for the SP3 case since
I didn't get to review it, but I can speak about the SP4 case and the SP2 case
- the latter didn't have that option and could only be placed in one
direction). Going back to the ports is the fact that they are all accessible
but you must be wary of the headphone jack - it's likely that angled
headphones won't fit, but you can go ahead and try! Most straight headphone
jacks will. </div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
The pen has a holder
at the top, and it is also reversible, but there is a design at the top that
"recommends" how to place it. But I've placed it numerous times in
both directions and there were no issues. It grabs on to the pen VERY well. Also,
the pen is still magnetically able to be locked on to the device, but since the
case is so thick, it loses some of its strength. So it's really good that if
you're at the desk you can just plop it on the side again all the while if
you're going to toss it in your bag or move around a lot with it, you can
attach it physically and very strongly to the top of the case.</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
There is a flap for
the keyboard which holds it in place, which is a nice touch. The SP4 doesn't
have this by itself and only the bottom (where it attaches to the computer) is
magnetically locked in, so it can flap open. Now it can't and won't! It's just
a piece of elastic with a thumb with the UAG logo, but believe me, it's great
that it's there. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16.0pt; margin: 0in;">
So in the end, what do I think? I think this is a fantastic case for those who want to take care of their device and don't mind the added weight or thickness. Once again, this isn't a case you'd slap on in 20 seconds, if you put it on, you'll want to keep it on for a while. It's great for drop protection, even though I'm not willing to test it out! But just due to the design and how it's made you can tell that it's VERY well put together and thought out and the corners are thick! So I'd much rather have this case on my device than not if I know I'm going to take it around a lot. So basically, if you're going to keep your SP4 as a desktop, there is no need to get this case <a href="http://zkent85.blogspot.com.es/2016/02/esr-case-for-surface-pro-4.html" target="_blank">(check out the ESR case I reviewed)</a>, but if you're going to travel around a lot and take it everywhere you go, then it's a great idea to invest in a good case. </div>

This case was
purchased from Amazon and I believe it to be a very good case. I got it from
Amazon Japan for 3,200 yen, or 27 euros. Here in Spain though, on Amazon, the
same case was 95 euros - strange, right? There are other colors which were more
affordable. So hunt around for the best price!</div>

<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
Now onto the review.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
I have been using it
for a few weeks now. I must say that I am in love with it. It does take the
weight up quite a bit, but it definitely screams quality. It took me a day's use to learn how to
properly open it and get the keyboard to open on right in front of me, but
that's it. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
To insert the SP4
into the case you must slide it in from the bottom and have the top slide in to
the notches on top. Then you open the kick stand a little and snap the kick
stand into each of the place holders for it. It's very simple to remove it from
the case, unlike the UAG case (review to come, another very nice case). But it
was very simple to remove just by reversing the process - unclip the kick stand
and then slide the top out through the bottom. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
I've been using it
for well over a week, and I have been using it 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I
use my Surface for about 7-8 hours a day for work reasons and this case has
been on it ever since. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
It's a case, so it's
there to be abused since it's what gets thrown into my bag - that way the case
takes the abuse and not my shiny Surface Pro 4. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
One of my favorite
things is that it uses the already awesome kick stand mechanism of the Surface
Pro 4, which means you can get almost every angle that the SP4 does. The
keyboard can no longer be folded back though, bummer. But the case actually offers VERY good stability while sitting on a plane, train, bus since it essentially mimics a laptop dynamic, all the while keeping the heat off your lap :). </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
It has a magnetic
clasp which will <span style="font-style: italic;">help it stay closed</span>, I
say help because it won't lock it in place. It'll just give you an idea that
it's there and won't open by itself in your bag, but it's VERY simple to open. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
The device can still
be charged with the case on, even with my custom 3D printed cable protector. It
also has a pouch on the inside for business cards or a sheet of paper or
something like that. I honestly don't see the use of it. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
The
pros </div>
<div style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
+ It's
elegant</div>
<div style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
+ It's
stylish</div>
<div style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
+ It's
affordable</div>
<div style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
+ It's
easy to put on and take off</div>
<div style="color: #00b050; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
+ Pen
is securely locked in at the top.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: red; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
The cons</div>
<div style="color: red; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
- Keyboard
can't be folded back</div>
<div style="color: red; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
- Easily scratched</div>
<div style="color: red; font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;">
- Depending on where you are, it's expensive.</div>

<br />
I love this case! It's gorgeous, very protective and very well built. Everyone that sees me using it seems to turn their head and see if I'm using a device out of a movie or something like that.<br />
I took some pictures. Take a look at these:<br />

<br />
The feeling in hand is fantastic. Very firm, solid. It's obvious that it's well built.<br />
It's not that difficult to put on, but boy, taking it off does make me feel like I'm going to break my phone. Sometimes I don't know where to push / pull. 99% of the time, I end up taking off part of the battery cover. But all the ports and microphones are available, and in fact, are cut VERY well! A lot of those cheaper cases off of the internet are "estimated" microphone holes, or they're cheap for a reason... They didn't spend as much time in the design, which is definitely not the case with the UAG case.<br />
<br />
NFC works fine with the case on. I read in other forums that if you add a QI pad to the back, it also works fine. It fits very snugly, so I'm not so sure if it'll fit with the QI charging back (the entire replacement battery back), so I'd be wary of that. But I have to say, the design of the back and the rubber sides help with the grip A LOT. Fantastic! This isn't going to fall out of my hands any time soon!<br />
<br />
As you can see from the images, it does add bulk, which is fine. I used it for over a week consecutively without taking it off (not even once) to get a feel for it, and it's great. I love the case. This case is going to be in my permanent collection :).<br />

<br />
One nice touch is that UAG threw in a screen protector. Now, the screen protector is slightly smaller than the actual screen, so that means that you'll see borders around the screen. The quality of the screen though is fantastic, so no problems in that department :).<br />
<br />
Overall, the case is awesome. It's kind of expensive, but I spent a lot of money on my phone just to let it fall once and ruin the experience. The case offers a lip on the front (and obviously the back) so when I want better volume from the device I put it face down. If you look at the speaker though, there is a hole for it that is surrounded by a ridge that allows the sound to not be muffled and it actually sounds almost as good facing down with the speaker up in the air! The lips protect it from placing it down on the table in either direction and not allowing anything to scratch it.<br />
<br />
So... Final thoughts:<br />
Good buy :) I'd recommend it. Just beware: it does add bulk to your phone.<br />
<br />
You can buy it for the Note 4 <a href="http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/" target="_blank">here</a>, as well as for other devices. It also comes in a ton of different colors! :) Check it out!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06199703339938286894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298346542511323370.post-24658779739912931162015-05-04T08:05:00.002+02:002015-05-04T08:05:34.309+02:00My view on Windows Phone 8.1I recently purchased a Sony Xperia Z2, which was a great phone (on specs) but had so many issues. I had it exchanged every time for a new one for a grand total of ... 6 phones! Each having its own issues. I'll get into that in a short while. So, I got so fed up with Sony I said that I'm done and I had always wanted a Windows Phone. So I jumped over to the Nokia Lumia 930. Wow... What a spectacular piece of art.<br />
<br />
The phone is VERY well built, very fluid and has an awesome camera. One of my biggest issues with the Z2 was the incredibly subpar call and speaker quality on all 6 devices (some worse than others, but in general it was a nightmare). The Lumia 930 has awesome call quality. Everyone could hear me very well, I could hear everyone very well. After 2 months of using the Z2, I actually ENJOYED (to the most of my ability) making calls. The camera is also very good and capable. I don't know if it takes better shots than the Z2, but it takes very good shots, let's just say that. The screen is also very gorgeous.<br />
<br />
Now, I don't understand why reviewers said it was chunk, which was NOT the case. The phone is larger than other flagship phones, true, but in all honesty I have no idea why we're obsessing over the thinnest device! I don't want a super thin device. The Z2 was very thin that long typing sessions became a bother...<br />
<br />
So, if I had to pick a PHONE. The 930 beats the Z2 HANDS DOWN. Where does Windows Phone 8.1 fall short? Well, in almost everything except for fluidity. I'm not going to talk about the Lumia 930, I'm going to talk about Windows Phone.<br />
<br />
I'll mention some very serious shortcomings. None of which have to do with "apps" from their store.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Making a calendar appointment that repeats. There's no option to end after X amount, or end at a specific date.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Multitasking. I'm in no way a heavy heavy user, but I do like to have things automated, to a point. For example, I was using a file explorer to copy pictures from my phone to Dropbox and the OS killed the application every time the screen turned off or even switched apps. Boy this is a big one... Multitasking is an absolute nightmare. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Sharing multiple pictures is a nightmare. Oh wait, no... It doesn't even exist! You can't share multiple files from the gallery at the same time. What a shame... </li>
</ul>
<div>
Pros (mostly OS and not device related, but some will be):</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Very fluid UI. </li>
<li>Very consistent.</li>
<li>Attractive and well thought out home screen with tiles that update and give you information about your app, which many times is more useful than a widget.</li>
<li>Screen on both 930 and 1520 were awesome, especially on the 930. On the same devices, the cameras were SUPERB!</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
After having the 930 for the first time, I decided to buy the LG G3. After the lollipop update, battery life was terrible, very slow in general. So I returned the G3 and stuck with the 930 with a wireless charging mat since battery life was just terrible on the 930. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After about a month, I decided to get the 1520 since battery life was bad, no SD card slot, and the screen in the end was a bit too small for me. The 1520 stayed with me for another month and a half. I really enjoyed it. I got over a lot of the shortcomings of WP except for the multitasking. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I use my phone as a phone: that means I message a lot. Messaging is the most important thing for me. I use LINE and WHATSAPP. Whatsapp worked just fine, and even looked nice :). But LINE would take 3-8 seconds to download messages when the app wasn't in RAM as it had to secure an SSL connection every time. If I want to send a picture or multiple pictures, on Android I could do that with ease. In WP I would have to keep that screen on the entire time or else it would cancel! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For those reasons I decided to just sell the 1520 and 930... and buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will return to Windows Phone once multi-tasking is better implemented... I really miss the UI and how it worked... But some things just made me go nuts about the UI. </div>

Esta tiene que ser <b>la peor</b> empresa que he visto en mi vida. Ahora les explico por que! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lo primero es que estaba buscando hacer un regalo y lo vi en Groupon. Todo lo que ponía me gustaba. Ponía entrega a partir de 10 días, y que venía el libro con papel fotográfico! Y todo por un precio razonable! Así que, claro que si! Lo único que tenía que hacer es pagar los gastos de envío! Eran 7 euros, por cierto. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Lo compré... A los pocos días vi que ponía que si lo quería antes de navidad, el 25 de diciembre, tenía que tener el proyecto terminado. Así que me puse con ello. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
El enlace que me pidieron usar no funcionaba. Mande un correo, intente llamar. Nada. No contestaron a los mensajes ni llamadas después de un tiempo en espera. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Así que fui a la página principal y allí hice el proyecto sin saber si iba a funcionar o no. Bueno, el tiempo estaba acabando y diseñé a toda prisa un libro de 40 páginas con muchas fotos, texto, mucho amor! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Bueno... Lo acabo y me meto, pongo el código y me dice de añadir papel fotográfico... Así que no le di porque me querían cobrar por el! Algo que venía específicamente en la pagina web en el anuncio. Así que vuelvo a la página y saco una captura de pantalla y se lo envío a printerpix con el mensaje de que obviamente no le doy al papel fotográfico porque viene incluido y al meter mi código, debería de reconocerlo y por si acaso que no, les mando ese mensaje para tenerlo en cuenta a la hora de terminar mi pedido... </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Pues no me contestan.... </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
No me contestan. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Me contestan con que si les puedo mandar una copia de mi justificante para el papel en fotográfico... En el papel no pone nada cerca de las condiciones así que de poco le iba a servir... Pero lo adjunto y le envié el link a su anuncio y todo... Me dicen que no está incluido! Y que era un error... </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Pero sabes cuando me lo contestan? El día 19... Si... 11 después después de hacer el pedido y ya se había terminado y enviado el libro sin ningún tipo de contestación. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
El día después de enviar el libro me contestan con que NO se iba a enviar con papel fotográfico y que en la pagina de Groupon estaba equivocado. Pincho en el enlace de Groupon y LO HABÍAN CAMBIADO! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Menos mal que saque una captura de pantalla antes y se lo envie a Groupon con toda historia de PrinterPix!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Al final, Groupon me devolvió el dinero. Abrí una incidencia con PayPal por los gastos de envío. Y poco despues me llego el libro. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Yo decidí esperar a ver que me dirían por PayPal! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
No me contestaron! EN NINGÚN MOMENTO!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Al final deje que PayPal cancelara la incidencia...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Jamas JAMAS volveré a trabajar con PrinterPix.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
La empresa MENOS profesional por la parte de Inglaterra, por la parte Española. Menos mal que Groupon se hace cargo de sus anuncios.</div>
