MWC 2017: LG G6 hands-on

25 February 2017
Out walks the flagship, in comes the bestseller - with the G6 LG isn’t striving for a top spot in the specs race, instead it’s aiming to appeal to a broader audience and trying to differentiate the Gs from the Vs in the lineup.

Bland, plain look but hardware features make up, kinda. LG could have at least made an effort like Lenovo with the MotoZ.

    Im an lg fan but yes ... this cam sensor is ultra cheap and one of worst you can see ... it goes in elephone... xiaomi : Mi4c Mi5s Plus Redmi pro Redmi Note 4 and Sony XA... all that phones are decent performers but their camera is a CRAP like u can see ... i hope that gsmarena messed up numbers

      definitely considering grabbing this as my next handset. Thought about upgrading from the OP3 to the 3T, but this handset is better.
      Shame that the NA version won't have the Quad Dac, but not a huge loss to be honest. Just use a good player like Neutron and it will sound plenty fine.
      Wireless charging, nice screen, water resistant, wireless charging.. looks good!

          Mobilemaster, 26 Feb 2017We will see how it performs. I am sure LG knows what to do.... moreWe have not to be in doubt - we can be sure. Cheaper sensor will give worst results. Previous sensors were made by Sony too, but were deeply customized by LG and much better in class. I cannot understand what happen to LG.

                          Getting SD821 is not LG's fault since Samsung had to bogart the 835 since they also do manufacture them. Blame Samsung for hogging the chips.

                              LG why make things difficult for yourself and the customers by making variants with region specifications features? Can't you just standardised G6 with 64GB together with all the hardware specification and sell worldwide! Really fail big time!

                                    Nice job LG. I love that the screen doesn't curve round at the sides (eg Live the S7 Edge). Nice.
