Weekly poll: LG G6 - Hot or Not?

19 March 2017
Cutting corners is a good thing now - it makes the screen more drop resistant.

I hope it won't be hot. You know, after what we had with Snapdragon 810 and Note 7 it would be better if our phones were never hot anymore.

      Tee, 19 Mar 2017With all that ranting, you forgot the terrible and totally ... moreWhat you said makes no sense.

      First off, you don't even have the LG G6 to sit up there and come up with that conclusion that it doesn't have good battery life, and you can't go off of GSMarena's Battery Analysis either, people's usage varies, just because a Tech Site says this has only 2 or 3 hours of SOT doesn't mean that's what it'll stand for throughout each individual's usage, not everybody be glued to their Smartphones 24/7.

      Second of all, again, you don't have the LG G6 to say the camera is bad, is it bad to you because it doesn't have an updated image sensor?? Because if that's the answer, please understand that the image sensor is only half of the equation, there's post-processing, lens, optics, etc, how big the pixels are to collect light, I don't know what pictures you are seeing, but from the pictures I seen across the web taken with the LG G6 it looks amazing, and that's looking through my computer, not my Smartphone where the display where it oversaturates the colors making it look like some fairy tale.

        We got the LG V20 for My Favorite Wife and it's a really great SmartPhone. It knocks out anything from Apple, Samsung and many others.....all but two. They're overlooked. They kick the stuffing out of ANY SmartPhone on the Market in regards to build quality, added features and FIRST CLASS operations out in the real world. They are both from the same company, who thinks outside of the box. ASUS. The first and THE BEST Smartphone is the Asus Zenfone AR ZS571KL and the second is the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL. Both of them will outperform and run circles on any out there now and quite possibly this next ear as well. Ok. I'm not too crazy....yet. But you're here on GSMAREN, go and look them up. Check the Specifications out, read the reviews, if you can put your hands on one or both. You'll love them. Just do me a favor...after your Jaw drops, please close the mouth. Thank you. While your at it...tell them: "Pop Sent Me..!!"

Personally, not bothered about bezels, correction, the ultra small ones on the S8 do as likely to make holding the phone in landscape mode awkward. Will wait to see the reviews of the XZ Premium before deciding between the S8 or XZ P...

            Definitely hot but side bezels could be thinner. My old LG G2 seems to have smaller side bezels compared to those I see on pictures. At least that's what it looks like on photos.

From following tech news of the past couple of weeks, I'm pretty sure LG has adopted a policy around the lines of the G series phone being a phone for regular consumers, which comes with all of those regional differences, while the V series phone being the no-holds-barred power-just phone, with all of the features implemented.

                    Hot. Currently it's going for $650 in US. I will buy one around July and will get it for $450 (hoping). One thing that I will miss with that phone is IR blaster.

The screen, design, camera, wate... moreLG will always play second fiddle to Samsung and Apple if they continue to make idiotic decisions like certain features for certain regions. The reason I bought my V10 was the DAC great camera, removable battery, and SD card. Samsung listened to their customers with the decision to drop the removable storage and added it back with the S7 series.

                        The G6 is a day late and a dollar short. It looks good, but has last years internals and could have been truly great if they would have toned down the UI much like the Moto or One plus
                        series of phones. The water resistance, lack of wireless charging and DAC for certain parts
                        of the world are extremely short sighted and it wont sell as much as people think. Charging
                        over $700 US for the phone doesn't help either. The iPhone 8, and Galaxy S8 will mop the
                        floor with the G6. The V10 was my last LG phone.

                          Well, i voted for hot, but in reality i have mixed emotions regarding the G6, because as aesthetics okay it is one of the most beautiful phones (obviously with the Mi Mix), but as specs i was disappointed, and not just because the lack of the SD835 (because for that, okay they have Samsung as excuse), but even more, the lack of 64GB as standard, 6GB RAM, Stereo Speakers, only 5MP front and so on. On the other hand, the XZ Premium okay has horrible bezels, but as specs it is much better than the G6. Well, as a bottom line, the best thing to do is obvious, just waiting a little more to see the S8, and hopefully it will be a mix of both? As a screen to body ratio okay we already know that it will be similar as the G6, and as specs let's hope that it will be similar to the XZ Premium, and if not even better. So let's hope that Samsung will give us what we want.

                            This phone isn't Hot for me actually, just Warm. Only because of the regional limitaitons... Hate that so much!!!

                                        the only company that gives different designs, features. the nexus series, the g2 & g3, the solid V10 and now this g6. good work! except for the boot loops.
