let's talk a little bit about the LGG six been about too much since its release and I'm using the phone on and off throughout that time and I really liked it and I figured it's a good opportunity to go back visit the g6 with fresh eyes having more experience and used it longer it into five to seven days we typically do before we do our reviews and stay tuned stay into this video cuz we're giving you a chance to win a brand-new LG g6 before I jump in talk more about the g6 I wanted to revisit the g5 for just like a hot second I promise I'm not going to dwell the g5 was like a huge risk for LG to try something modular try something new didn't work so I want to give LG credit from not like doubling down a design in sort of a new way forward that wasn't going to work for the company they came with a fresh slate and the fresh slate ended up being the g6 I think every phone kind of has it has a big story and I think with the g6 the big story is that 5.7 inch qHD plus screen and we've seen 5.7 inch phones before like John we know what that looks like but this is like a weird aspect ratio it's 18 by 9 you're getting a lot of screen in a very tall package so what that means is it's going to be an arrow in your hands a hole you can hold the phone that I think you feel like gie enormous sort of Nexus 6 style type device that new aspect ratio lends its way to a really new unique way to use the device I could have two squares on either side of the screen running side by side that have to sort of shrink we want to quarter the way and make one the main screen that could be equally sized and it's really productive for me there's a lot of software's LG put a tour take advantage that newest aspect ratio the more you use the phone where you can appreciate it the big things out the screen is certainly video you want make sure your video is going to going to look good and it's going to look good the screen ism' awesome scree is beautiful it's vibrant when you turn the brightness up colors absolutely gorgeous and pop if when you go outdoors you're still going to get a nice beautiful screen I'll be it a little more washed out than I would have liked also new to the phone is HDR which is something a technology it's going to become ubiquitous I think in the next probably next generation of phones you're going to expect them to have HDR so I read the comments and I've contributed to this discussion the process is a Snapdragon 820 one with 40 and I know it's not the latest from Qualcomm McCarthy 35 like maybe another phone you're considering might have four usual productivity infer four games and for watching video there's very little distance for most people 821 is a plenty powerful really battery friendly chick and speaking of battery when I went to the briefing for the g6 LG spent a really long time talking about how they test their battery should I give the batteries room essentially everything they could say without saying really don't want these phones to blow up so there's a little smaller than what maybe we would have had if it wasn't for the note 733 hundred million power battery LG's got a nice reputation especially for their you know the line of phones with high quality audio it ain't here on the US version which is weird you got to buy the Korean version if you want that so bear that in mind LG skin hasn't changed that much since like the g5 and it be 20 I'm not the biggest fan it seems a little too cold and a little cartoony for me and I also didn't like some of the apps that all these bundling into place Google Apps so there are two 13 megapixel cameras but they're not the same one sort of a standard camera the other ones a wide-angle camera catch 125 degrees I really like the option of having both in fact when I didn't have both when I was using something like my si+ I kind of missed it the wide-angle lens doesn't have like auto stabilization or anything like that when you want to take those wide-angle shots it's really kind of cool and the pictures do come out really nice using sure the standard 71 degree of normal lens rounding up list of stuff I guess you'd expect now in flagship phone ip68 is here so water resistance so you could you could take this thing in a shower but we didn't just want to take LG's word for it Andrew readily volunteered to hop in a shower with the phone strip down I don't know why I want to do it but it did to test the phone if it worked and strangely we have b-roll of that if you guys want to see it thumbs up the video and let us know so we had two months with the LG G 6 if this phone existed in a vacuum without like another say flagship competitor maybe a killer phone even the phone I'd be like yeah dude dudette go buy it you're not going to regret it it doesn't exist in a vacuum there's a lot of really good options there but at least you one of the options you consider and because we we like you guys and want you to have a good phone we decided to give away a g6 it is a international giveaway so please do not yell at me about that it is a key mobile locked unit so know that going in if you live outside the US and you win but you can pick up an unlock code and use it anywhere I'll put all the information up on the screen essentially hit the link down below article on TechnoBuffalo comm and that's where you'll do all of your your entering and let me end with a comment of the day from a colleague and a gentleman that I admire from our blackberry key one video mister mobile himself Michael Fisher he said that's what Android is all about giving you options to find the phone you want word so mr. Fisher I salute you and I agree you
