while our own high mighty betta has produced a full overview on the g6 we wanted to take a quick closer look at the display on this bad boy and considering the 5.7 inch diagonal the overall footprint feels surprisingly small in the hand over previous G Series phones the extra real estate comes from making the screen taller specifically delivering a 28 80 by 1440 resolution display which is a 2 by 1 aspect ratio or 18 by 9 or even a 34,000 by 17,000 aspect ratio all the same thing really when you reduce your fraction now the corners of this phone have an almost battlestar galactica vibe happening now LG reps claim that this curve will help disperse the force of an impact if you happen to drop it on a corner I probably won't be the one to do that kind of drop test the display comes ready for HDR content supporting both HDR 10 and Dolby vision and will be compatible with content produced by Netflix and Amazon with this 2x1 display it makes split screening apps a pair of perfect squares okay your navigation dock cuts into one of those squares but we see LG is trying to make use of that extra display apps and services are expanded to improve the quality of information delivered there's more room for multitasking and the LG camera app makes fun use of that screen height LG has historically led the way in putting bigger screens and smaller phone bodies though rumors are pointing to some other manufacturers which might deliver phones with similar screen size experiments in our initial youth the g6 delivered some subtle benefits to camera capture we really like the amount of info you can keep when in split-screen mode but video playback was a bit funky for whatever reason we're totally comfortable with letterboxing on phone screens but pillarboxing looks a bit out of place also if you're rocking a stumpy thumb like mine a color display makes the notification shade more of a reach so what do you think of LG's experiment here well LG lead the way on a new aspect ratio standard drop us a comment down below and let's see if we can strike up a conversation on organ ah mcc's as always thanks so much for watching be sure to subscribe for more MWC 2017 videos like these and help us out with some sharing on your favorite social networks for PocketNow i'm juan carlos bag now some gadget guy on Twitter and Instagram and I will catch you all on the next review
