Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Canon G5 X and Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon G5 X has external dimensions of 112 x 76 x 44 mm (4.41 x 2.99 x 1.73″) and weighs 353 g (0.78 lb / 12.45 oz) (including batteries). Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G has external dimensions of 129 x 71 x 19 mm (5.08 x 2.8 x 0.75″) and weighs 305 g (0.67 lb / 10.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon G5 X and the Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G. Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G is 5mm shorter and 25mm thinner than Canon G5 X but it is also 17mm wider.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon G5 X and Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Canon PowerShot G5 X nor Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G's 4.80" LCD screen is slightly larger than Canon G5 X's 3 screen.
On the other hand, Canon G5 X sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G has a fixed type screen which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to G5 X.
