LG G6

I'd be interested in seeing comparisons of the camera but am still dubious. I want to see the level of noise reduction (which results in less surface detail) compared to other phones. It's all good if the images look great, but if they're not as detailed as "noisier" competition, then that's an offset surely.

Having the "lesser" version for the UK doesn't really make the phone stand out for me.

It is a strange decision. Should be the same phone for every market, with 32gb or 64gb options.

unless this is priced adequately lower than other flagships, can't see this being a great success. No feature/quality stands out, and if they start selling the lesser version in EU, can already see the backlash.
kinda feels like this is what G5 should have been like, expected more from successor.

yup it needs to be priced semi budget tbh - this is no flagship (at least for what we'll end up with in the uk)

I really hope there's an updated version of this phone in the summer with the updated SD835 (though that in itself isn't enough to put me off) and tweak it further, though I fear they'll save it for the V30.

LG certainly know how to **** up phone launches (mind you, which manufacturers haven't in recent years).

Currently using the G4 (love it) so was looking forward to this...according this video (0:40) they also removed laser autofocus :mad:

It's ridiculous isn't it, why regional differentiation in this manner? Do they actually want customers? At least with Samsung and others you get the bulk of the hardware features globally.

Maybe having all the options in the UK would make it too expensive, given the value of the pound at the moment.

It's Europe spec - not just UK spec which has been hobbled

Having had an LG G2 develop a fault with the ear piece and lag for most of it's life with LG determining there was no issue, and the LG G4 bootloop hardware issue just outside of warranty and it being refused by LG to be fixed, I'm done with LG.

I really like the look of the phone and my G4 is due an upgrade in the next 2 months.

LG have also made a bizarre decision in that they've got Gorilla Glass 5 on the back but on 3 on the front :confused:

I am guessing 3 for the front is strong enough but as the back of the phone will always be placed on tables and desks etc, that they felt it needed the newer 5.

Yes last year's phones received Nougat but as of now the LG G4 and V10 still haven't received the update.

still waiting for my G5 to update on 3

Anyone be crazy to buy on release , typical LG it will fall in price very fast.

smokedog · 28 Feb 2017 at 20:03

Looking forward to getting the South Korean version.

A year later and it is going to have the same SOC? Lol. How do they expect to compete with other flagships that have the 835, unless this is going to be decently cheaper than the alternatives?

I cant see what this has to offer over the alternatives......from 2016 :eek:

Rimsy · 1 Mar 2017 at 11:44

indeed. last years SOC, last years minimal storage.
Only things it has going for it is waterproofing and a nice looking design but there is no way in hell this counts as a flagship device with only 32gb storage.

steve5424 · 1 Mar 2017 at 12:07

To be honest I think they made a good choice. Raw power isn't really needed and will save them money not using the latest chip.

Also with SD cards and cloud storage on board memory really isn't too much of an issue I think.

Its a great looking handset and for me a great upgrade from my G4.

Can't really blame them for using last years SOC when Samsung have bought all the 835 stock

Except They didn't as Sony are using it in their new handset.
