HTC 10 has been officially presented by the Taiwanese group with Price and Features , but still disappointed his fans for the lack of a true event. The technical details, it was easy to imagine, it is that of a top of the range smartphone with Android operating system.
That’s why we decided to make a comparison on the paper that will have as protagonists also Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 , with rivals including HTC 10 will face each other for the whole 2016, with the purpose of clarifying the ideas to users and direct them to the purchase of the device that best suits.

DESIGN . The designers of all three companies have been working to present users with the terminals in their best forms but starting from completely different ideas. LG has preferred to overturn the design pursuing a heavy process of modernization, HTC has created a mix that brings together a revamped front end and a rear similar to the past while Samsung has remained true to the previous generation of its top of the range that both liked to users, focusing on small cosmetic changes.
Starting the latest, HTC 10 soprende for its rounded edges that outline a more subtle aspect made possible thanks to the glass screen that blends seamlessly into the metal body. A shell, available in Carbon Grey colors, Glacier Silver and Gold Topaz, which the design team has forged in order to make it resistant to falls, knocks and scratches. As revealed by the company, HTC 10 has been subjected to more than 168 hours of extreme environmental tests, by a freezing at -20 graphs up to a temperature of 60 degrees, resisting to over 10,000 tests for liquids, creases, scratches and corrosion .
LG G5 instead is totally changed from the previous generation. The smartphone looks, in fact, an all-metal body with an elegant design and smooth. At least before. The back is more burdened by the presence of focamera in double configuration and the power button just below: the only one left on the back button because the volume rocker has been moved sideways.
But the real novelty of this LG G5 and on which everything points to the Korean manufacturer is the modular design can offer a new and richer user experience. You can, in fact, turn your smartphone into a camera or a hi-fi stereo maintaining a removable battery in a single metal body available in Silver, Titan, Gold and Pink. As? The bottom of the device can be removed in seconds thanks to a removable trolley that can be replaced as the need arises by dedicated modules.
Samsung Galaxy S7 finally, the same body of Galaxy S6 worked with a 3D thermoforming process developed by Samsung so that the glass followed the shapes of the metal alloy with absolute precision and it would create new curves. The result is a smartphone from exquisitely smooth lines and harmonious with each other, also because of the camera projection whose thickness now stops just 0:46 millimeters. The shell was also certified to be resistant, to a maximum depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes, and dust.
in terms of size, HTC 10 is great 145.9 x 71.9 x 3.0 – 9.0 mm , respectively, in the less and thicker, and heavy 161 grams . The size of LG G5 are 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.3 mm compared with 159 grams of weight while Samsung Galaxy S7 measuring 142.4 x 69.6 x 7.9 mm and 152 grams in weight.
DISPLAY . The HTC engineers have chosen a panel 5.2-inch diagonal , 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, 564 PPI and Gorilla Glass glass with slightly curved edge. The screen, of which HTC has revealed that it will be possible to customize the color perhaps meaning the setting of hot or cold tones, presents the Super LCD technology 5 which limits the reflections by improving the visibility of the outside and at the same time accentuating the depth of the images .
LG G5 instead begins with a IPS LCD panel 5.3-inch diagonal, 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and 554 PPI with 3D front glass Arc Glass. A configuration that LG has supported with the feature ‘ Day mode “that improves the visibility of the panel to sun exposure than the current adaptive brightness technology. The reason is obvious: when the mode is active and detects the surrounding light conditions can increase or decrease the brightness up to 850 nits.
Even before your eyes get accustomed to the different conditions . In qualitative terms, the proposal by Samsung is the best with a Galaxy S7 comes with a Panel Super AMOLED 5.1 inch diagonal, 1440 x 2560 pixels resolution and 577 PPI . Both Samsung screens that LG finally have the Always-On feature that shows continuous time and date, even if the phone is on standby. This allows you to take a quick look timetable without having to unlock the smartphone or enter the main screen.
CHIPSET . The System On Chip chosen by the three producers work very similarly. HTC, LG as well as for its G5, you are entrusted with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 . The SoC also embraces a CPU with 64-bit Quad Core architecture made a FinFET manufacturing process to 14 nanometers. Its maximum frequency is 2.15 GHz for the two most powerful core and 1.6 GHz for the two core less powerful. A figure for only supported processor in operations by Adreno 530 GPU, and 4GB of RAM LPDDR4.
Samsung Galaxy S7 instead integrates a self-produced chips from the same company: the ‘ Exynos 8890 offering Octa core CPU with two clusters: the first, with custom design 64bit ARMv8 uses four cores to 2.3 GHz high-performance ARM Cortex-A72 of derivation, for the toughest workloads, while the second cluster, four-core type Cortex-A53 1.6 Ghz, is dedicated to saving energy without ever being subdued. To support the CPU in operations there are 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4 and GPU ARM Mali-T880 mp12.
Connectivity is similar for all and includes Smart Ready Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, NFC, as a reliable benchmark not any A-GPS, LTE and HSPA + 21/42 Mbps. are still, so to know which of the three terminals will be better you will need to try them first hand. Both, finally, they are equipped with fingerprint reader: that of LG at the back and that HTC and Samsung before.
MEMORY . Both devices have support for MicroSD that allows you to expand the internal memory: from 32 GB of LG G5 and 32 and 64 GB on Samsung Galaxy and HTC S7 10 depending on the version.
the winning choice is more flexible for users constantly looking for space is therefore represented by Samsung and HTC even if the latter is able to support external memory up to 2 TB. The same goes for LG G5 while the maximum compatibility declared by Samsung for its Galaxy S7 is 200 GB.
tHE FUND MULTIMEDIA . LG is that Samsung have always committed to produce devices from more than good photographic performance while at HTC has always been criticized a media sector by poor cameras. That’s why HTC 10 cuts with the past, at least on paper, presenting users with a rear camera Ultrapixel 2 from 12 MegaPixel , focal opening of f / 1.8, made laser focus, optical stabilizer and flash LED Dual Tone.
at the front, however, there is a 5 megapixel camera with a focal opening of f / 1.8 and optical stabilizer , for selfies always stable, but with wide angle optics and the possibility of using it as a flash screen. At the software level the application that manages both sensors presents a simple but thanks to Pro mode that offers advanced options for more experienced photographers, including RAW capabilities, allows the user to manage all shooting settings.
LG G5 begins, however, with a rear camera with dual focus laser and LED flash . The first has a standard lens 78 degrees and sensor from 16 MegaPixel and the second a wide-angle 135 degrees and sensor 8 MegaPixel , to offer a camera angle of about 1.7 times larger than any current smartphone camera. The benefit? Shot wide to photograph the best landscapes, tall buildings and large groups of people without having to move multiple files.

G5 is then packed with advanced camera features to create surprising and original effects: Pop-out Picture, Film effect, and Auto Shot. Pop-out Picture resumes the same scene with two cameras to create the effect of a picture in a frame. Film Effect can apply the effect of 9 different filters to an image and Auto Shot snaps selfie perfect as soon as the camera recognizes the face. You can enhance the photographic experience, finally, with the LG Cam Plus module.
the form of the series LG Friend has an LED indicator and physical buttons to control power, shooting, recording and zooming, ensuring a better grip for shooting and shooting video, intuitive autofocus and exposure lock. Before the LG G5 camera is 8 megapixels . Samsung has instead preferred a single lens, but with a new Dual Pixel sensor 12 MegaPixel . Here, all the pixels on the image sensor have two photodiodes instead of one.
In this way, the camera focuses with the same speed and precision of the human eye. Combined with this technology there is a lens with a focal aperture F / 1.7 can capture much more light for photos always vivid and full of detail even in low light conditions. At the software level, there are many features such as Motion to capture the sliding movements in the panoramas. The fixing of the panorama image is a uniform sequence of the clearest frame of the Motion version.
Just slide the screen or repeating the side panning with your smartphone. Or the Motion Photo feature that captures the three seconds before shooting, and allows you to choose the moment to keep. Finally, the ability to use the screen as the front for self-portraits with flash 5 megapixel cam . A sound level nothing to report for Samsung Galaxy S7 while LG G5 and HTC 10 may represent a viable alternative for audiophiles.
The first thanks to LG Module Hi-Fi Plus with B & amp; O PLAY that supports audio playback in high definition at 384 KHz and the second thanks to Hi-Fi speakers HTC facing BoomSound Edition that have the classic design separate tweeter and woofer, and combine that with a dedicated amplifier on each speaker.
the terminal, Hi-Res Audio certificate, has also been designed to reproduce the sound of the music exactly as desired by the artist through the Personal Audio profile system that creates a unique profile for each hearing, dynamically adjusting the specific sound frequencies to each ear.
Battery . The discourse on autonomy is particularly complex and deserves a simultaneous testing of all three terminals because different batteries for a hundred mAh can safely be equivalent. The main differences in these cases, in fact, depend mostly from the screen and from the processor. In any case, HTC 10 begins with a ‘ non-removable 3000 mAh unit , virtually the same as Samsung Galaxy S7 .
LG G5 , on the other hand, begins with a removable drive from 2800 mAh that can be improved with the use of its modules. All three units still support the rapid charge technology that reduces the charging time . In addition, through specific accessories, the future owners of the Samsung terminals can also enjoy the wireless charging .
OPERATING SYSTEM . Android is the operating system of both smartphones that specifically also share the same software version: 6.0 Marshmallow . However, it is impossible to make a comparison because their custom interfaces developed and applied by the two producers make the user experience completely different.

the Samsung TouchWiz has been completely revised to be more lightweight and convenient to use. There are also new colors and new features such as those dedicated to Galaxy S7 Edge where you can view up to 9 panels, to have direct access to everything you need: from calling a taxi to see the sports news. With Apps edge, for example, you can create up to 10 shortcuts to apps and folders.
The LG UX is particularly appreciated for its simple operation, fluid and clever. One feature, the latter, further developed on LG G5 where you removed the app drawer with the intent to deliver an always ready to use.
The HTC 10 it is designed from scratch to run faster, be lighter and use less memory. The new layout HTC Freestyle free the anointed from the grid on the screen and allows you to explore their creativity. You can drag icons, stickers and widgets everywhere. Stratificarli, overlapping them, group them, and more. You can also connect to applications and adhesives completely get rid of the icons on the screen.
TAKE WHAT, WHO WINS, WHO LOSES? Overall, all three terminals are equivalent from the point performance-wise, but, as we have seen, differ in many aspects analyzed individually can push the purchase of one over the other. This is the case of the modular LG G5 that with friends offers an experience more complete and compelling use, able to go beyond the normal limits of smartphones.
On the scale the Galaxy S7 we find the cardiofrequenzimentro and the body able to resist diving while HTC 10 the certification Hi-Res Audio and both cameras with optical stabilized. Finally, another factor to keep in mind is the price. HTC asks Italy for its latest device 749 € , a particularly high until yesterday, the day-one day figure was 799 Euros. It is reasonable, therefore, to expect further declines in the coming months.

Even Samsung Galaxy S7, despite a starting price of 729 Euros for the flat version and 829 Euros for the Edge version, has already lost part of its value. LG G5, however, will come in the next few days in Italy 699 € . Choose which one to buy it anyway to the end user who will evaluate this according to your needs. Finally, here is a table that compares the data sheets of the four devices.
