While design is something strictly personal, I believe that the HTC 10 has a considerable advantage on this segment.

Even if the LG G5 is slightly lighter than the HTC 10 (159g vs 161 g), and has a modular feature, the HTC 10 looks more sturdy and elegant. In fact the HTC 10 has one of the most beautiful handset designs on the Android market.

Both devices have exactly the same chipset, the Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820. They also have the same RAM capacity, with 4 GB. This results in an extremely similar hardware performance from both of these devices.

The LG G5 has a slightly bigger display than the HTC 10, with 5.3 inches versus 5.2. They both have the same resolution (Quad HD), and because the LG G5 has a slightly bigger screen, it has a slightly lower pixel density. However, the difference is really minimal.

The HTC 10 has a battery capacity of 3000 mAh, while the LG G5 has a capacity of just 2800 mAh. Since they have similar hardware profiles, the HTC 10 has a slightly better battery, but LG G5 is nearly as good.

Conclusion

While the LG G5 has a better camera, the HTC 10 appearance and finish seems to be better. It will be up to the user’s priorities to decide what weighs more on their final purchase decision, as both devices are great.
