LG G6 review: Cutting corners... Like a pro

16 March 2017
Cutting corners - it's the story of the LG G6's life. Literally - the smartphone's display doesn't end in right angles, it's soft arcs instead. Figuratively - the G6 isn't packing the absolute greatest hardware on the market.

    This device cant compete with Mate 9 line, S8 line, Pixel successor, iPhone 8.
    Even beat by Mi note 2 lol, lame G6! Imagine if Mi 6 beat it again, people gonna get crazy.

    Talk about availability, please dont mention LG phone, their TV or AC yes it available very wide but not phone.

        Good job lg on getting 2k contrast whereas Xperia XZ get only 1.3k.

          Chintu bhai, 16 Mar 2017Honestly,my opinion is that Lg failed again.Samsung gonna a... moreI laugh on you because even Apple can't match with Samsung or perhaps the only OEM that can compete with them... Let alone LG Mobile. They are not even available here in south east asia. They are a global brand but not available everywhere like those two other OEM I mentioned. They even hard to match with chinese OEM like xiaomi, Huwawei etc... Note I'm talking not just about popularity, availabily and ability to compete, but also about R&D etc... Samsung is very powerful to compare with failing company - LG, No matter how hard they try, they will never have a chance. This is reality.

            AnonD-404798, 16 Mar 2017I've just read that IMX258 is on Xperia XA form 2016 and th... moreI would rather have single camera with up to date sensor,
            rather than two two years old sensors at the back!
            GSM Arena counted the price is funny..
            1 new sensor = 1+1 old sensor haha.. that's doesn't cut it for me

            Reading this review, somehow seems that LG have no ambition with G6
            Having SD821 chipset is forgivable, but:
            - 2 years old camera sensor
            - unimpressive bezel and no 2.5D screen
            - average battery life
            - audio quality is not loud enough and DAC only for selected countries

            I like G2 and hope LG will rise but I'm gonna skip this phone

                  Just wait month or two until S8 hit the market,and this phone will retail for 500$ at most.
                  And for that amount we can really consider it as a awesome value proposition,with all pro's and cons.

                        My verdict is that the Pixel looks better overall in terms of contrast, colour and brightness but it fails in very close shots while the G6 takes the crown in the macro department. So the G6 wins in macro video capture while the Pixel wins in overall video capture.

                                Honestly,my opinion is that Lg failed again.Samsung gonna annihilate them again.They have no chance.I respected LG,cause they have world class engineers.Their only problem was:NO MARKETING.The first 3D phone,the first dual-core phone,the first mobile phone with 2 GB ram,the first quad-core mobile phone...ALL of these inventions was LG's!!But this LG G series has no chance against Samsung...
