yo guys johnathan here over the weekend while I was busy talking about desks you may have seen LG drop their brand-new g6 fortunately I was able to get my hands on it check it out see what the hype is about and these are my thoughts 48 hours later now for starters of the g6 LG has thankfully ditched the modular design of its predecessor the g5 and instead gone with a safer all glass all-metal body that is super pretty and while it may not be groundbreaking I really like it the one thing you do lose with the lack of modularity though is the removable battery for me that's never been a huge issue with the abundance of battery banks and fast charging for some people that may be a deal-breaker but honestly I think it is a small price to pay in terms of what yields to be a much better overall phone now as far as battery goes internally this is packin 3300 milliamps which isn't bad but it's also not great I kind of wish else you would have pushed this a little further maybe somewhere north of 4000 but overall you should still get some really solved battery life of the g6 and more importantly like the rock says fine wireless charging is here now wireless charging is a game-changing or revolutionary and yes we've seen it on a ton of other phones before but it's 2017 which means it's about time every phone includes wireless charging I'm looking at you Apple so thumbs up the LG on this one so well the ruble better may be gone the one thing power users can still rejoice and hold on to dearly its expandable storage via microSD you're probably hear some fancy tech talks run around like expandable to 2 terabytes of storage welcome people back to reality for a second the biggest current micro sd card available is one-eighth fat capacity even that is around 200 bucks so you can imagine even if a 2 terabyte microSD card does come out you're gonna have to sell some blueSky to afford it beyond that the LG G 6 features a USB C port which is a thumbs up because everything should be USB see we also still see the classic LG power button and a fingerprint reader on the back which is a little weird if you've never used it but once you spend some time with it it feels really natural now beyond the design changes I think maybe what stood out most to me with the g6 has got to be the display because it's really different than anything you're normally used to seeing this has a 5.7 inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2880 X 1440 and you're thinking yourself that math sounds a little off you sir are correct that's because this isn't your traditional 16 by 9 aspect ratio it's actually 18 by 9 so what this means is going to be a little longer when you're holding it upright and a little wider when you're holding it landscape it is going to be a little bit weird when you're watching movies and videos that aren't 18 by 9 and honestly that is the majority of them out there but if you can get past these black bars on the side which really aren't that big of a deal it's actually kind of cool which you can do with the extra space for starters multitasking works really really well because essentially you're getting two perfect squares one on the top one on the bottom which results in more room for activities actually what I found really useful those once you're in the camera app with that extra space up top you can actually see all your recent photos that you take in and again much like a lot of things you'll start to notice with the g6 it's not game changing a revolutionary but it's actually really useful on top of that one of the coolest things with the g6 of the fact that you're getting more screen real estate in a smaller overall package so for example here is the iPhone 7 plus this is a 5.5 inch phone and slide by side next to the g6 you can see that is physically smaller but has more screen real estate so that right there honestly is kind of a big deal I've always thought the iPhone 7 plus was kind of bulky and too big for one-handed use so the fact that you could fit a bigger screen in a smaller package that feels better in your hand is kind of a win beyond that the bezels or rather lack thereof on the g6 are a beautiful beautiful thing the curved elements are super nice touch you kind of want to stare at it and appreciate the display so day two is one I got to spend some time with the camera or cameras I should say on a g6 I gotta admit though every time I stare at this thing I cannot unsee the monkey tablet stands for growth so with this guy you're getting twin 13 megapixel shooters the first full screen your standard portrait lens and the second being an ultra light get everything in the shot land but I particularly like about this in the g6 is the fact that you don't lose any quality jumping back and forth from lenses here a couple pictures the first of which being the standard lens I'm going to hop over to the ultra wide lens and you can see for being really gloomy overcast and nasty outside nearing sunset both of these do a fantastic job and you don't really notice any quality difference at all overall for the past couple years I've really liked what LG has done in terms of smartphone cameras and what the g6 it is no different here I definitely do want to still put it through its paces a little more bro we're also far I am super impressed with the camera now another bright note with the g6 of the fact that it is now water-resistant just doing some basic things like toss matter taking some video everything more perfectly and while those tests weren't crazy binding means I do have some plans for some more extreme water tests featuring the g6 is that something you want to see make sure you guys drop a like down below now this is a pre-production model so I'm not going to dive too deep into the software or the OS you do get Android 7.1 nougat which is definitely a plus but in terms of really diving deep in there with the software I'm definitely going to wait until I got my hands on the final retail model I will say I definitely don't mind LG's skin is free light and for the most part stays out of your way and there are some things that I actually kind of enjoyed like when you swipe across the screen the text kind of bounces with you which is strangely satisfying but overall gone is the bastard child g5 here is the g6 I think it's safe to say LG is back in the smartphone game especially I thank you guys very much for watching if you have me I definitely feel free to subscribe you're probably not going to want to miss that water test and if you're thinking to yourself what is that beautiful setup you can check out that video here this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later so day 2 is like come on man my mouth is frozen shut like Elsa
