what's up guys want here from Android authority and we're taking a quick look at the LG G 6 and comparing it to BlackBerry's new key1 smartphone these were both announced here at Mobile World Congress 2017 and they're both Android smartphones obviously but they're radically very different on the outside you've got a glass and metal design on the g6 and with the key one you're looking at an aluminum body with a soft touch leather like backing size-wise they're actually roughly the same size despite having completely different screen sizes both are LCD but with the g6 LG is gone with a 5.7 inch display with an 18 by 9 aspect ratio that makes the screen taller and narrower and it also has super thin bezels all the way around which is how LG managed to squeeze such a large display in a small body the key one has a smaller 4.5 inch display with a 3 by 2 aspect ratio and it's also lower resolution at 1080p whereas with the g6 you're getting a quad HD panel but the real differentiator here is the physical keyboards that you get with the key one aside from the satisfying typing experience that you get from the keyboard it also doubles as a capacitive trackpad for navigation scrolling through webpages or emails and can assign up to 52 shortcuts to applications and a variety of other functions as far as specs go you have a Snapdragon 820 one with 4 gigs of RAM on the g6 and a Snapdragon 625 processor and 3 gigs of ram on the key one battery capacities are fairly close with 3300 milliamp hours on the g6 and 3505 milliamp hours on the key one and they both feature quick charge 3.0 but if you have the US version of the g6 you'll also get wireless charging something that you get on the g6 that you won't find on the key one is ip68 dust and water resistance which may make the g6 a more compelling option if that's something that you need both of them have fingerprint sensors with the g6 as being on the rear where it typically is on an LG device while the key one actually has it pretty cleverly embedded into the space bar of the keyboard with the cameras you have two 13 megapixel cameras on the rear of the g6 with one wide angle and one standard angle lens and over on the key one you've got a more traditional setup with a single 12 megapixel shooter but it is a very good sensor at 1.5 5 microns and f2 point-o aperture both of them are running on Android nougat but the experience on the key one is much closer to stock with only a few customizations from blackberry like the BlackBerry hub and their state-of-the-art D Tech security software the g6 features a revamped version of LG GUI that's been redesigned with a new 18 by 9 aspect ratio in mind which you can see trickle throughout many of the apps and other parts of the UI like the lockscreen and wallpapers but which one would you guys choose let us know down the count's below and for more on the g6 the blackberry key one and everything else here at mold congress 2017 keep it tuned here to android authority because we are your source for all things Android
