G6 Phone: LG G6 40,000 Pre-Orders in 4 Days – Overview
Unlike its predecessor, the LG G5, which featured a modular design that didn’t resonate well with consumers based on sales figures, LG took a different approach with the G6. Opting for a streamlined design focused on creating an ‘Ideal Smartphone’ that aligns with user preferences, LG emphasized how the G6 is tailored to meet user demands. Boasting a 5.7-inch QHD display with an 18:9 aspect ratio, the LG G6 showcases LG’s commitment to designing a smartphone that appeals to a broad audience.
Beneath the surface, the LG G6 employs the Snapdragon 821 chipset, as opposed to the Snapdragon 835 utilized by Samsung and Sony in their devices. Opting for this chipset provides LG the advantage of launching their smartphones early due to a steady supply, unlike Samsung and Sony facing delays caused by the low yield of the 10nm Snapdragon 835. Furthermore, LG took measures to ensure the device’s reliability by implementing an internal mechanism that prevents the battery from overheating. Running on Android 7.0 Nougat and featuring a non-removable 3,300 mAh battery, the LG G6 earned an IP68 rating for its durability. Additionally, the LG G6 stands out as the first non-Pixel smartphone pre-installed with the Google Assistant.
