LG G6 announced: A new Android beast

LG has taken a safe approach with the G6 this year after being criticized about the G5 for so long. LG G6 now sticks with an all metal and glass design, instead of being “modular” like the G5. However, this means that the G6 battery won’t be removable. In term of LG G6 specs, the phone boasts a 5.7″ 144o x 2880 pixels resolution display screen (18:9 aspect ratio), which is a bit odd. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 821 quad-core (2 x 2.35GHz + 2 x 1.6GHz), 4GB RAM and 32/64GB ROM.

Keeping the tradition alive, LG G6 cameras come with a dual setup on the back. The phone is mounted with 2 x 13MP with f/1.8 and f/2.4 back cameras, while the front camera is 5MP f/2.2. The back cameras come with LED flash and have laser autofocus feature, capable of recording 2160p@30fps and 1080p@30fps videos. Consider what LG G5’s cameras are capable of, we can be sure that the G6 will be one of the best camera phone this year.

Other features include a non-removable 3300mAh battery with wireless charging and Quick Charge 3.0 technology (50% in 30min). The phone also supports USB v3.1 and USB Type-C. Internal storage can be expand up to 256GB using a microSD card. The phone has a fingerprint scanner mounted on the rear and an audio jack on the top (now take that Apple).

LG G6 announced: Price and Availability

LG is playing it a bit safe here and are only launching the device in black and platinum color options. Right now, we know that the phone will be available worldwide, but LG hasn’t confirmed the release date yet. But we expect it will be before the end of March when Samsung launches their new flagship. As for LG G6 price, the phone will be sold around $800 ~ Rs. 53390.
