amazon LG G6 reviews
Design
The design formula of the LG G6 is quite simple and easy to understand. A sturdy metal frame incorporates two glass sides. The flat design front is protected by Gorilla Glass 3 while the back of Gorilla Glass 5 is slightly curved. The advantage of this design language is the certainty, polished from the first glance. The downside to the rear view mirror is that it is a fingerprint magnet that attracts fingerprints – the inevitable of most smartphones choosing metal design in combination with glass. Users can mitigate this disadvantage if choosing the G6 version is white (hard to see) instead of glossy black and gray.
Back in front, the LG G6 uses a 2.5D flat panel instead. That makes the LG G6 not as shiny as the other flagship. Compared with the two sides and the on the bottom of the screen has been simplified to the maximum, not to the ultra-thin as Mi Mix is just enough for the front camera, speaker phone or logo have ” Combined with a 18: 9 (2: 1) display ratio, the LG G6 has a large 5.7-inch screen, but in a small 5.2-inch body. Plus or Google Pixel XL … LG G6 significantly smaller grip makes use extremely easy and still bring a large display space.
Unlike the previous G series, the LG G6 has a monolithic design. There is little regret when LG discarded the ability to replace removable batteries. In return, the G6 will be water resistant, dustproof with IP68 highest standards. Actual performance, water resistance of the LG G6 good, the machine is not affected by the phenomenon of sensory contact, the gate is not wet.
Except for these changes, the rest of the G6 is quite familiar. Simple back panel with dual camera clusters and integrated one-touch fingerprint sensor power button. This continues to be a plus from the previous generation and the same segment. One-touch fingerprint sensor with high precision speed. The LG G6 maintains minimalism on the sides with left volume keys, sim slots and memory cards on the right, a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, a Type C connector and an external speaker on the bottom.
In general, the G6 design is completely different from the previous generation, and the machine is well finished, with subtle design details. Compact, smooth, sleek, non-slip, easy to use with just one hand.
Screen
This is one of the highlights of LG G6. The handset owns a 5.7 inch QHD + display (2,880 x 1,440 pixels) with a pixel density of 564ppi, slightly higher than the G5 (5.3 inches QHD and 553ppi). The G6 uses an IPS LCD instead of an OLED display, but the display quality is beautiful, the contrast is high, the colors are quite vivid, the color is cold, the green is often green on the LCD panel but not easily recognizable. High brightness display, good display even in outdoor conditions.
As noted above, the LG G6 does not follow the 16: 9 aspect ratio but instead the 18: 9 ratio brings the larger display space. Most apps will automatically adjust to fit the 18: 9 ratio. A handful of applications (cameras, calendars, etc.) allow users to split into two side-by-side screens in landscape mode for easier operation.
In addition to new rates, LG also decided to equip technology display standard image Dolby Vision and HDR 10 for the G6. The duo promises to bring a brighter and brighter image experience on the G6. There is not much content to support the two standards, but Netflix and many companies are expected to update the next time. (The new House of Cards series has supported this rate.) Because most content has a 16: 9 aspect ratio, when watching Youtube on the LG G6 screen will appear 2 black bands at both ends. The LG G6 also features a always on feature that allows you to display time and message notifications without turning on the display.
Performance
With the launch of the G6, the Snapdragon 821 processor instead of the new Snapdragon 835, with Adreno 530 GPU, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal memory (portable version). About the Vietnamese market). The same specs OnePlus 3T and Google Pixel XL – model is considered by many technology pages as the best smartphone in 2016.
Some users may be disappointed to see that the LG G6 is not supported by Snapdragon 835, but the personal experience of the tester does not matter with performance. The LG G6 runs smoothly like the Google Pixel XL (even slightly faster processor speeds), with almost no lag, even when multiple applications are open at the same time. Adreno 530 chip helps LG G6 handle heavy graphics games like Asphalt 8 … easily.
Testing sound on the G6, the speakerphone layout on the lower edge may affect somewhat when using the machine in landscape mode. By testing the loudspeaker loudspeaker 63.2dB lower than the G5 (72.8dB). However, when using a 3.5mm headset, the output is 0.396 volts better than the G5 (0.313 volts), the noise level of -95.5dBA is also comparable to most leading devices. In general, the audio experience is not disappointing.
The LG G6 ships with Android 7.0 Nougat customization UX6.0. The new interface has more natural colors. The application icons have been updated to a square shape with rounded corners that create a more consistent and modern look.
Battery life
With a capacity of 3300 mAh, not a replacement (due to monolithic design), must “burden” large screen resolution QHD + … the use of the LG G6 is a big question mark. However, the LG G6 surprised us by 20-25% at the end of the day, despite its high intensity (surfing, shooting, gaming …). There are even days when the LG G6 stays close to a day and a half with basic usage needs. Trying to play back video continuously, the LG G6 has an average 8 hours 56 minutes compared to Google Pixel XL (7 hours) or Samsung Galaxy S7 edges 8 hours and 14 minutes. Not only does it have impressive battery life, the LG G6 also supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 allowing for full battery charging in about 100 minutes.

Camera
The LG G6 is the second member of the G series with dual rear camera clusters with 2 separate lenses. However, unlike the LG G5, the two cameras on the G6 have the same resolution of 13 megapixels, the aperture on the first camera is f / 1.8, the other is f / 2.4. The lens of the first camera has a 71-degree angle, the second camera has a wide angle of 125 degrees (the second camera of the G5 has a 135-degree angle).
The G6’s camera interface is similar to the G5 (or V series) with the option of using a lens that corresponds to a tree symbol (standard) or 3 trees (wide angle). New on the G6 camera interface compared to the G5 is the addition of icons to select basic image mode, square image, manual image (professional manual) and manual video. On the machines under the V sub-screen series will assume the role of this icon.
With basic image options, the LG G6 also has more shooting modes such as popout, panorama, 360 panorama, snapshots, slow motion……..
Also, due to the new 18: 9 aspect ratio, the G6’s camera has a choice of 18: 9 (8.7MP and 3.3MP) 16: 9 and 4: 3 aspect ratio pictures. Utilizing the unique 18: 9 aspect ratio, the LG also comes equipped with a square frame viewfinder that allows you to capture and view photos simultaneously. In this mode, the machine can also take multiple pictures or video clips to join together automatically.
The manual image mode has the same interface as the previous generation that allows setting iSO parameters, exposure time, white balance … In particular, the G6 also has a manual video recording mode with setting ISO, hifi recording, wind filter, noise …
In our experience, the G6 camera has fast capture speed, good image quality in bright conditions with good detail, vibrant colors (high contrast) and high contrast. Raising the resolution of the wide-angle lens camera gives better detail, not much inferior to that of a 75-degree camera, which is very effective with the landscape-architecture category. In low light conditions, the image retains the sharpness but the phenomenon of particle interference is inevitable. It seems that the G6 image processing algorithm (noise reduction) is the same as the previous generation, the light is smoother than the competitors in the same segment. In low light conditions, users should use a 75 degree camera with a f / 1.8 lens aperture (and adjust the frame … by foot) to capture bright, sharp and color images. Sharp better than wide-angle lens.
For self-help needs, the LG G6 only comes with a 5MP front camera but offers a wide angle advantage (100 degrees) for easy group selfie shooting. Selfie shooting quality in good enough lighting conditions. However, the low resolution makes selfie images slightly brighter and noise disturbances.
