A listing on Geekbench reveals that the G5 has a strong chance of becoming the ultimate Android smartphone, as one of its scores has the Samsung device outgunned.
The handset, which packs a Snapdragon 820 processor and 4GB of RAM, racked up a multi-core score of 5061, compared to the Galaxy S7's 4979.
However, Sammy's new flagship trumped its rival in the single-core stakes with its score of 2282 versus the G5's 2248.
Benchmarking test results don't always translate to real-world performance, but the scores certainly bode well for LG.
