meet the LGG six the past few years LG has been taking chances trying new things modular phones dual screens and effort to build up to a culminated as the latest flagship from LG the g6 is a brand-new design language for the Korean company and if past history is anything when a company goes into design language they've taken features away not true at the g6 all the things that we love about smart phones are still here 3.5 millimeter headset jack is here expandable storage is here great optics great build quality all are here they didn't take anything away to offer the new design and the new design is absolutely beautiful it seems like a cross between what we have from HTC that we've had from Samsung in the past so to really design centric companies and I think LG nailed this and it feels really nice and hand unfortunately you can't hold the device in your hand just yet but as someone who's held a lot of phones it's got a very premium feel to it one trend I'm happy LG didn't follow was the thinner thinner fitter with a sacrifice for battery life they've been doing what we've been asking for all along make the phone a little bit thicker putting a bigger battery and get rid of the camera humps all those things are here it's anchored by a 30 300 million power battery and out of the 15 20 minute presentation we had with LG so it's a good quarter of it talking about that battery letting us know that there's room for heat dissipation letting us know they over tested the battery essentially letting the world know this battery is safe the screen I think is one of the biggest stories with LG they said they wanted to be one of the first to market with an 18 by 9 aspect ratio on their device and that's sort of a weird thing to say it's two to one and it looks really tall but it surprisingly fits in the hand nicely due to almost edge to edge design with no bezels on the left or the right you can think of it almost like having two square screen another real estate up above the best way I can illustrate this is in the camera you open it up you've got a typical viewfinder with a lot of controls if you want to go down that route but also you've got your gallery on left-hand side not just a little circle where you can go your gallery you can see more information on the screen that's something that LG is really pushing and of course when you're watching videos you can expand to take up the full screen and for watching anything that's Dolby vision or HDR 10 it's going to look gorgeous because this phone supports both of those we got a little daredevil action while watching this versus an iPhone you can really see the difference on the screen so LG did seal the battery in they did it for a good reason they've added ip68 here and we tested it in the shower simulator so if you take your phone in the shower you're good if you drop to the toilet you're good it worked really well LG also mentioned that you could charge the phone wirelessly since it is Chi and PMA enabled even when the phone is wet in all honesty I didn't ever think to wirelessly charge my phone while it was wet but it works on the LG g6 the cameras on the back sit flush which feels feels good to say and they're both 13 megapixel sensors on the front you've got a really wide angle 100 degree 5 megapixel camera the memories can be available is 32 gigs but expandable four gigs of ram on board that brings us to one of the potential drawbacks of the g6 the Snapdragon 820 1 chip which is certainly very powerful chip in its own right but it's not the Snapdragon 835 that we're gonna see a lot of phones come out with this year also on board is Qualcomm's fast charge 3.0 so the screen is 5.7 inches with an 18 by 9 aspect ratio which I can't figure out why I don't just call it two to one but it's qhd+ the resolution of 2880 by 1440 LG was really proud of the relationship with Google this phone is running Android 7.0 with Google assistant built-in so if you've been holding out for a film that could rock Google's latest AI you are going to be set LG G Y is also here they simplified a lot of things out of it that's actually pretty elegant it was easy to use and learn but of course we don't like it got the option just throw in a launcher on I didn't get a chance to test things like the speakers but we get the phone back in the office oh I'll be sure to let you know how that performs and if you guys want to see some camera samples I did get a chance to snap a few in fact our gallery of the g6 narvik elan ii of buffalo comm was shot with a g6 one check those out will link to them down below so if you're in the market for a new phone you haven't considered LG in the past now's a really good time to do so they've learned a lot with the v10 the beech pointing to g5 and the culmination is a really powerful great looking great feeling g6 an LG listened to the customers they gave people what they wanted they gave us little thicker device with a battery life it's not going to have any overheating issues feels great in the hand no camera humps the phone looks and feels premium is it a buy for you leave in the comments down below and let us know what you think what's your favorite feature of the LG G six what is it missing that you wish it had let us know we'll start replying to comments and have a discussion about the latest from LG get the video a thumbs up we certainly appreciate it until next time I'm John Ranger
