LG G6: Meet the new Android king

LG G6: Meet the new Android king 






With the new LG G6, the Korean company is going back to basics, focusing much of its attention on “design-driven innovations” and “practical improvements.” As a result, the G6 appears to be a solidly-executed, impressively-built flagship LG hopes will go toe-to-toe with the upcoming Galaxy S8 from Samsung.
Think of the G6 as an amalgamation of everything LG has learned over the past few years. As the numerous leaks showed, the G6 sports an aluminum frame with a glass rear panel, a move that gave LG room to introduce wireless charging.
The edges of the device is chamfered, a la the iPhone 5, which looks and feels premium. The back is subtly curved, outfitted with two 13-megapixel camera sensors that sits flush, along with a fingerprint sensor, which also doubles as a physical power button.
The only other physical buttons you’ll find are the volume up and down buttons on the left side, giving the device a seamless, uninterrupted look. It’s not a huge departure from LG devices in the past but there’s a refinement here that suggests the company took extra care to get the intangibles just right.
That includes making sure LG doesn’t repeat the battery mistakes perpetrated by Samsung. During our briefing, the company talked at length about decisions made and testing performed to ensure the G6 doesn’t suffer the same fate as the Note 7.
LG said it made the phone a little bit thicker (7.9mm) to pre-empt any potential fire hazards. If, for example, the device’s 3,300mAh battery swells, there will be room to accommodate it. In other words, LG is confident the G6 won’t catch fire. The company says the G6 was built to meet international battery testing standards, and features proprietary dissipation technology to reduce heat.
While the G6 looks patently like an LG device, the handset’s screen is a major departure for the company—for any major OEM, really. The 5.7-inch QHD+ display features an 18:9 aspect ratio (2880 x 1440 resolution) and support for Dolby Vision technology. The display isn’t entirely edge-to-edge—LG said it has a screen to body ratio of 80 percent—but it’s a huge improvement over what we’ve seen before. This year will see a lot of manufacturers make similar moves, and the G6 is leading the charge.
Other specs include 32GB of expandable storage, 4GB of RAM, Snapdragon 821 chip, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, IP68 water and dust resistance, QuickCharge 3.0, and support for wireless charging. The device also comes with Android 7.0 out of the box with Google Assistant in tow, making it the first third-party smartphone to feature Google’s new AI technology.

  Apple dropped four  new iPhone 14 models  this year, including the  iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max  which might have the buzziest new features.
