you may remember my review of the LG g5 last year in a nutshell it's had a weird build where it was made out of metal but had a plastic coating on top of it for some reason it had good specs for the time you know a snapdragon 820 4 gigs of ram and all that a decent screen average battery life and a bad execution of the modular phone concept and the two main reasons for this failure is that the phone had to be restarted when switching modules and speaking of those they were not many this year with the g6 though LG stepped away from the huge risk taking and instead they set up to create a really solid 2017 collection but with a huge smartphone manufacturer Samsung I think you've heard of them and the new s8 have they managed to do that well let's find out as I mentioned before the g5 had an all round metal / plastic build this year however the phone has a very shiny for the first 5 second glass back panel instead it looks and feels great and so does the entire phone the metal sides have this premium looking Shepherd edge the volume rocker is solid metal and have a great tactile click there's a headphone jack Wow the glass back panel looks very futuristic with the dual and camera layout and they managed to put the pretty big 5.7 inch IPS display on the front thanks to the much appreciated reduction in bezel size on the back you'll find the fingerprint scanner which is very freakin accurate and has pretty much never failed on me so the build it's futuristic it's water-resistant down to 1.5 meters in up to 30 minutes if solid premium fairly lightweight and just great feeling in the hand and that's my summary of the LG g 6s design and build quality now let's take a look at that screen it's an IPS panel so it's maybe not as vibrant and punchy as let's say the AMOLED display found on the Galaxy s8 but it does look great and in my opinion more natural than an AMOLED panel its resolution is 28 80 by 1440 so that's a little bit taller than the 1440 16 by 9 aspect ratio displays that were used to this means that when watching videos shot in 16 by 9 there will be black bars around the sides it can look weird at first but it never actually bothered me in any way the pro of having a taller display though is more room in apps of which you scroll allotting so basically every app other than video and gaming apps so in summary I really do like to display its razor-sharp natural-looking has thin vessels and more room in social media apps let's really quickly get into the specifications of the g6 so that we can talk more about to the important stuff like battery life and cameras the thing is specifications in flagship phones like this don't matter that much anymore you expect that actual phone to be speedy and the g6 is just like the s8 even though as you might know the s8 hassium newer and supposedly more powerful SOC so yes the g6 is just as fast as my s8 in terms of just she respects though the g6 is packin a Snapdragon 820 1 paired with the Adreno 530 GPU 4 gigs of ram a 3300 milliamp hour battery a 5.7 inch 1440p IPS display protected by Gorilla Glass 3 a micro SD card slot dual 13 megapixel cameras and on and on and on and other than the previously mentioned specs it's got all those normal things like Wi-Fi Bluetooth and all that so let's not waste any more time and get into some fun stuff the camera system because it's interesting the camera system on the g5 last year was actually pretty great so what LG did this year was just to improve on it it's got one standard view camera and one super wide one the g5 of last year had the same camera setup but the wide view camera was significantly worse in terms of quality than the standard v1 this is not a problem anymore though as both cameras or equipped with the same quality glass wide apertures and same megapixel count so let's take a look at some unedited pictures videos and selfies taken with the LG G six in auto mode so there you guys go please let me know in the comment section down below like you think of the camera in the g6 now let's move on to another very important part of a phone the battle compared to last year is a lot better it's no longer just average and instead it's actually better than most personally I got around four to five and a half hours of screen on time depending on the usage for that day including idling hours the phone last to a day of use with ease and it's actually one of the reasons why I switched to the g6 from the SAS the g6 also has quick charge 3.0 meaning it will charge fast a point of which the essays and g6 are very similar in its speakers they're both just met they just have one speaker at the bottom which one is not directed towards you and two is very easy to block when watching movies videos and playing games so don't expect the speakers to be very special in the g6 nor the s8 in terms of some special features like wireless charging and an inbuilt high quality DAC the g6 has all of that but not in one place if bought in Europe you get none of that if bought in the u.s. you get wireless charging and if bought in Asia you get attacked I find this dividing of features across regions to be very weird and I wish that LG stops doing this with the next phones so as a conclusion the LG G 6 is a huge step forward for LG this is definitely their best phone yet and one of the best phones so far in 2017 in terms of competition the g6 is one hell of a good phone and I decided to sell my s8 and keep the g6 so I really like it and you can't go wrong with it so thanks for watching please click that
