After months of leaks, the LG G6 is finally has finally be officially unveiled. LG has gone completely back to the drawing board, ditching the iffy build quality and questionable modular functionality of its predecessor, the G5. In its place is a sleek, amazingly…<\/b>
That display is the main focal point of the G6, and it has a rather unorthodox 18:9 screen ratio, which LG says allows that smartphone to better fit in your hand (thin bezels of the smartphone also give the LG G6 an 80 percent screen to body ratio). But the aspect ratio isn\u2019t the only intriguing things about the display: LG has also given the display rounded corners, which is a rather nice touch that we\u2019ve previously seen with the Xiaomi Mi MIX. This is also a feature that helps the device stand-up to corner drops a bit better as well.
More importantly, LG is moving past the QHD resolution that has become commonplace with today\u2019s flagship Android smartphones and has moved up a notch to QHD+ (2880×1440), which works out to 564 ppi.
As we\u2019ve previously reported, you won\u2019t find Qualcomm\u2019s latest Snapdragon 835 processor inside the G6 \u2014 Samsung bought up nearly all of the initial allotment for its upcoming Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. In its place, you\u2019ll find last year\u2019s flagship SoC, the Snapdragon 821. While LG won\u2019t be able to have bragging rights when it comes to outright performance and efficiency, the Snapdragon 821 is no slouch \u2014 even in 2017.
Complementing the Snapdragon 821 is 4GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and a microSD slot which can accommodate up to additional 2TB of storage. LG has also outfitted the G6 with dual 13MP rear cameras: Wide (F2.4 \/ 125\u00b0) and Standard (F1.8 \/ 71\u00b0) with optical image stabilization.
You\u2019ll be able to capture awesome panoramic shots with the wide-angle lens, while the standard camera lens\u2019 optical image stabilization should help you to better capture high-detail shots at a moment\u2019s notice. You can also smoothly zoom in your subject as you the G6 deftly switches from the between the two rear cameras. For selfie duties, you\u2019ll find a 5MP wide-angle lens.
Other interesting items of note include a 3,300 mAh battery, Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0, USB-C connectivity, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2, and a fingerprint sensor. The LG G6 is MIL-STD-810 tested, and has an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. The G6 is also the first non- Google smartphone to come with the voice-activated Google Assistant baked right into the OS (which is Android 7.0 , BTW).
LG G6 (Left) — Google Pixel XL (Right) — A lot less bezel, larger display, much smaller footprint
Along side the Google Pixel XL, the LG G6 is has a dramatically more efficient footprint and a much larger display, comparably. It’s a much taller, but slightly narrower display that handles really well for such a large device.
The LG G6 launches next month and will be available in Ice Platinum, Mystic White, Astro Black.<\/p>\n
