LG was one of the first phones to take a step towards a bezel less display but
right after we have the release of the Galaxy s8 and the iPhone 8 coming up and
it's not been long since this phone was released and we're already able to find
it for zero dollars on contract and about four or five hundred dollars
factory unlocked so for that kind of price
is the G six versus let's find out let's
start with the unboxing I'm not a huge fan of the packaging is very simple and
basic and something I wouldn't expect from a flagship device like this the
phone itself is very good-looking can deny that we have a aspect ratio of 8 by
19 which is 1 by 2 which also means the screen can be divided into two identical
squares which not only looks good but also gives you some extra space for
multitasking the screen itself is 5.7 inch 1440 by 28 evie pixels the screen
is quad HD but not an OLED panel but overall the screen looks very good and
while that's the main highlight here we have an 80% body to screen ratio the
blacks are deep and overall is a vibrant display can bring this to the iPhone 7
plus the black looks so much better on the g6 and the contrast is just a little
bit sharper on the g6 the g6 has a bigger screen size compared to the
iPhone 7 plus and all that bigger screen real estate is tied into a much smaller
body size which is very good because you're getting a big screen size but the
phone is nothing is easier to carry around and it's easy to hold in one hand
the distal itself is also not a regular sharp pointing edge instead we have
curved edges which look different and quite appealing for sure but if you look
very carefully the display is not perfectly curved it has some sharp edges
to it but I heard the curved corners are not just your Paluxy actually makes the
screen more resistance to a drop so in case you drop your phone your screen is
less likely to be shattered holding the phone in hand it does feel premium with
a full metal body and a gorilla glass front and back and in fact this one has
a better grip than my iPhone 7 plus which also has to do with a smaller body
size the front bezels don't look symmetrical and us because they aren't
we also don't see a physical button in the front and that's again because we
don't have one we have a USB C charging port in the bottom all
speaker grille our volume rockers on the left are simply an external SD card slot
on the right and moving to the back we have our lock button and our fingerprint
scanner which works really well I really like how you don't need to press the
button you just raise your finger on top and unlock your phone right away and it
does a great job it works really well and I have no complaints with a
fingerprint scanner at all it also gets the haptic feedback just like the
iPhones with the little vibration whenever you try to unlock the phone and
a different type of vibration when the fingerprint is not recognized so you're
able to know if your phone has been unlocked or not without even looking at
the display another feature I really like is if you have your phone in your
pocket or if you have your phone facing down and you're touching the fingerprint
area your phone won't be scanning fingerprints try to unlock your phone
but as soon as I have the phone in my hand and just simply touch the
fingerprint area it unlocks the phone right away just some small attention to
details I really like the model a house is in black and it's in bay storage
where 32gb with 4gb of ram with snap drive in it when you want
performance-wise it works really good surfing our social media playing games
and all works really well although coming from an iPhone I noticed some
apps like snapchat are really well optimized for Android but that has
nothing to do with the phone itself the four performs really well and overall
multitasking playing high intensive games and even streaming games with the
chromecast works really well but because of eight by nineteen aspect ratio we
might see some black borders in some videos and apps that are optimized for
the screen size but to improve the user experience LG has a built-in fullscreen
feature but depending on what you're expanding you might be cutting off some
part of a video or app so for video doesn't work great but for most apps
that I've tried fullscreen feature does a pretty good job moving down to the
outside the Jesus does not have interchangeable batteries like the g5
but in return we have ip68 water and dust resistant so you can be more
confident while using your phone in the rain or taking a picture in a bad
weather for our cameras we have two dual cameras please right in the middle which
I'm not a huge fan of simply because the natural hand position while taking a
picture is covering up the camera lens for most
but both of our cameras are 13 megapixels once the standard lens placed
at 1.8 and the other one is the wide-angle lens with at 2.4 and overall
the standard lens works great and a lot better in low light then to wide-angle
lens but the wide-angle lens is really white and something I really like on
this ball in fact it's more useful than the iPhone telephoto lens you're able to
get some incredible wide-angle shots that you won't be able to achieve with
other smartphones and honestly the screen and the wide-angle lens are my
favorite features on the g6 you only complaint I have with the camera is the
pictures are a little oversaturated and the sharpest is a little too much but I
guess in some situations it does make the picture look a little better but let
me know your thoughts about this in a comment down below so you can view the
camera again that's a great job but this time switching to wide-angle lens the
images are a little distorted and if you're shooting handheld your video will
be a lot more shaky because of no build is stabilization for the wide angle lens
so really the wide-angle lens is solely made for the purpose of taking pictures
you can use it for videos but the results won't be great and zooming in
and out from the wide-angle lens to the standard lens is a bit noticeable as
well you will feel a little shift because both cameras are at a little bit
different perspective so there's a little bit of a bump when switching from
the standard to the wide-angle lens and for a front camera we have a 5 megapixel
camera which again has a standard and a wide-angle mode and as always I will
have some sample footage ease and the original 4k video you can download and
test yourself in the description box
all right so moving on the g6 also comes with Google assistant building and
overall for battery life we have a 3300 milliamp battery which should last you a
complete day I'm a pretty heavy user and based on my personal testing I was able
to get a day and a half of battery life from one charge which basically means I
was left with about 20% of battery at the end of this game so yeah guys
overall it's a great phone and as I said before the screen size and the
wide-angle lens is definitely my favorite part on the g6 and this one is
only a few months old and we are already able to find it for a great price
so there might also be another reason why you want to consider g6 over other
smartphones but yeah guys let me know your thoughts on the g6 in a comment
down below and if you haven't already subscribed subscribe for more content
