LG was very specific that its new g6 should not be compared against the g5 or B 20 the company wants to rewrite the rules and that's what we're here to have a look at at MWC 2017 i'm hi never be better with pocket now from barcelona and this is the LG casing the LG g 6 is a very interesting new approach to making a phablet the company claims that users want two things a large display and also improve one-handed use but we know those goals are both a contradiction the result of the g6 that looks nothing like its predecessors and even current competitors the polarizing micronized aluminum is now gone in favour of a thick aluminum trim and the glass front and back and those of you complaining about the trend of thin and light phones can actually put those to rest with the g6 as the company has even made the glass back plus with the dual camera lenses now most of the story is on this display years ago we saw LG fit the same screen of the first Galaxy Note onto a smaller frame with the g2 and history repeats itself as we see a large 5.7 inch display fit into a body that's far smaller than the devices like the iPhone 7 plus with 5.5 inches on the display it's the first time that we see an 18 by 9 aspect ratio on a smartphone but it allows for the device to become narrower all with the intent of improving one-handed use with less horizontal finger travel the result is quite striking at first glance given the whopping 80 percent screen to body ratio LG is dubbing this it's full vision display they call this qhd+ at 28 80 by 1440 resolution and it now supports both HDR 10 and even Dolby vision they can get ready for HDR content from sources like Netflix or Amazon video now the rounded corners on the displays play a very interesting role not only do they differentiate the device from anything else we've ever seen but the Quail G these also help improve durability and their testing is proved that they do a better job at withstanding 70% more false than counterparts with regular sharp quarters the upside is that 18 by 9 is closer to the common movie aspect ratio for certain content consumption and it also fits pretty much two in one territory meaning you have two perfect squares at the top and the bottom for multitasking and LG has even enhanced its user interface to 50 squares with enhanced content now the downside is that while the screen is narrower the menu elements of the top are now at a taller position just throwing one-handed usability enhancements down the window oh and you better get used to the pillar boxes watching video for most other sources that stick to 16 by 9 like YouTube for example we also reminisce on the g2 in the death of the removable battery which became a need to provide ip68 water in dose resistance though LG compensates with growing the battery it now 3300 milliamp hours and operating quick charge 3.0 and even while I was charging under all existing standards though the latter is only available in the United States markets and this is not the only market restriction as the very much T's hi-fi audio decks of this phone it's pretty much only available in certain other markets like Korea expect wise we have a snapdragon 801 processor with workings of RAM and 32 gigs of expandable storage and yet even the 64 gigabyte option will only be available in certain markets as well and for those of you asking why not an 835 on this processor keep in mind that the phone is plan to ship far earlier than Qualcomm will be ready with the 835 according to LG the dual camera system has found some major improvement now providing the same 13 megapixel sensor for both cameras being the standard one at 71 degrees and also the wide angle in 125 degrees this pretty much allows for the concept of true optical zoom to be achieved and LG claims to enhanced the software to make this possible by removing the harsh transitions even though the software is not final to prove that in the case of the selfie shooter we have a 5 megapixel camera with the wide-angle 100 degree lens we will have to leave the software talked for later as this unit is final hardware but the software is still not final LG told us that we should expect the final version of the software as we get closer to its launch but yes this phone is running to Google assistance even though it's still being powered by Android 7.0 nougats at least on this pre-production unit so yeah this is the LG G 6 definitely a very interesting approach to a phone and my personal first impression so I will have to say the phone feels a lot smaller
