since the oreo update on my lg g6 indian version i am facing this stupid issue of charging. It some how detects moisture on my mobile and blocks the fast charging, this message appears and get away randomly. This definitely is a software bug as this issue started since i updated to oreo. i hope lg fixes this.

Lenovo CEO :v, 16 Aug 2018Would you recommend to get LG G6 in 2018-2019?Yes. I've had no issues with it.
Ive had Oreo 8.0 on it for the last 2 weeks and no issues.
Its a great phone for me, ticks all the boxes I need for Camera, Video, Browsing, Music etc.
It keeps giing down in price and I think is great value when stacked up against recent Mid Rangers.

Just under a year in and I am very happy with this phone, here is a breakdown of my experience with it.
The 8 main things I really like about this phone are...
- Wide Angle Camera.
- Water and dust resistance (ip68).
- Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliancy).
- Flat Screen design.
- High Quality Audio DAC.
- Headphone Jack.
- Extra Storage (SD card) support.
- FM Radio built in.
Design....
The screen is flat, not curved.
I prefer flat screens as less prone to getting knocked and cracked and easier to put a glass screen protector on for extra protection.
No camera bump on the back.
Fingerprint Scanner / Power Button on back.
5.7” screen with an 18:9 Aspect Ratio.
Height 148.9mm x 71.9mm width x 7.9mm depth, 163 gms weight.
Glass back and front with a metal frame.
Note: I have the Black one which has the top and bottom of the screen also black. Personally I like that look better when the phone is off as the whole screen looks black (Just a Personal Preference).
Build Quality...
I have a screen protector and a case on it.
I have had one major drop drop from about 1.5 metres and no cracks or scratches so far. I put this down to the Great Build Quality (MIL-STD-810G compliancy and the phone having a non curved screen).
The odd time I’ve got it wet in the rain, no issues, I’m sure the ip68 water and dust resistance helps here.
Screen...
Clear and bright, no issues in sunlight.
Performance...
Very quick and responsive.
My main usage is Browsing, YouTube, Music, Camera (Still and Video) Messaging, Texting, Calling, Notes, Maps, Calendar and Email.
No issues with any of these.
Battery...
Easily gets me through the day.
Fast charging works well. Charges quickly to 90% then at normal charge speed for the last 10%.
I charge it overnight.
Note: There is no wireless charging on this model (64GB/4GB RAM with the High Quality Audio DAC).
(Wireless charging is available on another model without the DAC).
Camera...
Photos and videos are great.
Love the 2nd Camera Lens set up - the Wide Angle - I use this so many times in order to get everything I want in the photo.
I’m not a big user of the Selfie Camera, the odd one I’ve taken looks fine to me.
Music...
The High Quality DAC really makes a difference when connecting up through the headphone jack.
Bluetooth works fine on my Wireless headphones.
Through the speaker is good, however not much bass.
I have solved this by using the custom setting on the Equaliser and set the bass to maximum (I set the far left bands (16 and 230) to max. With this setting the speaker sounds great.
(Through headphones I set the equaliser back to Normal setting otherwise it’s way to bassy).
The FM Radio works great, nice interface.
Storage...
I took my 128GB SD Card from my old phone and put it in the G6 for all my music, photos and videos.
I save all new music, photos and videos to the SD Card.
If I ever do need more storage I’ll probably get a 256GB SD Card, although I can’t see the need for that for a couple of years at least.
The 64GB in built storage I keep free for applications and everything else.
No issues with either.
In summary...
A year on and I am very impressed.
The G6 ticked so many boxes, a great device for my needs.

But first put all your stuffs like musics, photos and contacts on the cloud because sometimes you will need to make a factory reset like i did but you will not regret it.
My G6 is the H870 but since the update via LG bridge is H873 like yours.

Slightly Camera performance improved and surely no lagging till now.
