who's going on guys it's your average consumer and today we're going to be spending a real band of life with the LG G six and in this kind of video you're going to be spending a full day with me and the g6 as we check out things like that new display the form factor things like performance camera all the things you want to know about the phone and we're going to see how it holds up in a real day of usage all right guys so we've got the g6 in hand and I actually have been on this phone for a good bit this morning because I've been responding to a bunch of you guys over on Twitter because I hit a million subscribers last night so today I'm just responding to everybody wishing me congratulations and stuff like that so I've been on it for a good bit shot for you guys you guys are awesome wouldn't be here without you but we got to keep testing this phone a battery solution 100% I don't think I've been on it enough to knock down a couple of notches so we're going to see throughout the day so you have some notifications are blowing up folks we're going to see how much the battery is impacted through daily use all that good stuff but we're going to find some breakfast first and get the day started but before breakfast I'm gonna do a little plug here if you don't know I'm actually giving away a Nintendo switch I have a link to the video down below go check that out and get a free chance of winning one of these it's kind of hard to come by right now alright guys so breakfast is here for those who wait nothing hey what I wanted to talk about the design of this phone as you can see I'll do what with a more premium feel for it I've got the metal edges as well as like the black back but I'm still not sure if it's a fully glass kind of feels like plastic through but if a glass back way smaller bezels so the phone looks good but my only problem is that it's slippery as all heck and as you can see as a fingerprint magnet as well so you know I'm going to be dying to get a case on this this I don't drop it or look at these fingerprints anymore alright so we've got a couple of spots to hit up today first off I'm going to New York wearing it uber right now I'm going to the Nintendo store I'm going to look for the best possible Nintendo Swift case that I can find and then to actually head to a meeting with the CEO of v-moda val Colton they make awesome headphones you guys know that I rock their headphones all the time but it's time to see what's next let's see what new products they've got coming up so keep your eyes peeled for that but uh yeah we've got a long day ahead of us this isn't like how long does a little bit right probably like 40 minutes so we've got a little bit of timely kill but think that might as well as placing games while I'm at it see what that Bilby vision screen is like all right guys so something I'm really liking about the g6 is the screen now apologies for the bumpy camera because we're in the car driving right now but the screen is amazing guys it has these tiny tiny bezels LG did a really good job at keeping these really small and compact and it also has these rounded edges so I don't know if a lot of people will like that some people will probably like the traditional look but this is a nice change of pace I really do like it and this is the quad HD display like I said before has that buildi vision so it has like HDR but um this is a really beautiful screen now guys because this thing has an 18 by 9 aspect ratio you probably can't see it but there are letterboxes around these sides of the content so it is different than what we're used to usually content isn't a sixteen by nine but it doesn't seem to be a big deal since the borders are black it kind of just blends in with the bezel of the phone so it's not too much of a big deal so we made into the Nintendo store and it looks like this which is kind of a big deal yeah time to find a good case so area is height because they got like Pokemon plushies here so she's going to jump in this is all you babe you do you have all get like every single one but you know what this is perfect time to take some picture with the phone so we're going to take a quick picture of this venusaur over here grab that damn alright since the z6 has extra real estate you see some of the something else or the pictures that you last hook and jump in as you see fit well that is a really awesome feature you can kind of just jump in and see and I got to say the camera quality it legit LG's always been pretty good in terms of providing good cameras and the 13 megapixel camera on this one lives up to the reputation so some cases have been acquired got some interesting results on ones over here so this would be pretty cool so the g6 also features that wiring the list that you can switch to so instead of having a closed picture like this I can get the whole thing in the shot and take my pick which is really awesome so we've got Mari over here I figure it's a good time shot the front-facing camera take a selfie with this guy since he's kind of famous so let's see what that's like and it also has a wide angle mode so we'll try that one out as well oh this is crazy so we're going to use that something else here again and this is a this is clean I thought it would be more okay this one's a bit more overexposed wide-angle one looks really good but this looks pretty good this will definitely qualify for Instagram selfie your job LZ now while I really like the thumbnail feature where you can go back and look at your photos I did notice that a lot of times it would make the app crash something I can't replicate it right now but it did happen quite a bit already so I don't know if it's something because this is a pre-production model but hopefully those kings get worked out before this goes on sale this is so crazy right now the reflection of the glass showing the people behind me make your way there are people in that police van I don't know if you guys can see it but look like the guy who got but it looks like there are people in the police van anyway okay let's get back on track so right now the phone has about 56 percent battery left I think I've been using it I think at about two hours of screen on time let's just double check that so yeah about two hours and four minutes of screen on time sixty-six percent less I'm using it at about sixty percent brightness so battery life is decent nothing crazy so far but it's been alright cool thing though I happen to be a Starbucks while waiting and this thing does support wireless charging so I just throw it on there and then this guy will start to charge wirelessly so after my meeting with Val gotta head back home now but something I notice is that even with a lot of sunlight when I had the max brightness set on this guy I can see it with no problem whatsoever even when directly in the Sun I've got no problem with visibility I can see everything on my screen without an issue so really really good for the screen brightness if I can't see that on camera but take my word for it it's good alright guys so we're back in the studio but I got show you I gotta get this off my chest I'm not crazy about the UI of this phone only because there is no longer an app drawer so without the app drawer you have all of your apps on the home screen unless you you're super organized and you throw them into folders it's going to be quite a hassle to keep things clean lead personally I like to have my four folders at the bottom if you saw my what's in my smartphone video you know my layout you know how I like it but this one made me introduce a couple more folders and honestly some of the apps that I don't really use some of the bloatware that comes on the phone I just kind of have to just throw into random folders that you see over here now that might not be a big deal for some people and LG does offer an option for a home screen with the app drawer but let me show you what that looks like so when you jump into the home screen settings you can select the regular home screen a easy home which is for like honestly older people or people who have a hard time seen there's also the home with the app drawer which I must show you or some other homes that you might have now home an app drawer let me show you what that looks like guys look at the app drawer guys this thing takes up almost like a third of the screen so it's very very weird that it's so large you can throw some things out the bottom there so you can customize it a bit but it's still weird so even if you wanted less thing you wanted to have all your regular stuff there this still takes up way too much real estate in my opinion and it just it just doesn't offer a clean look so to be completely honest I do think I'm going to end up using that Google now launcher I don't have mine set up just yet to fit my needs but I will get that set up I'm just glad that Android allows you to switch this up however you please now click update on the battery I've got about 33% less and it's 807 p.m. but let me show you guys what the screen on time is like so going into the battery see with the usage so the screen on time 20% of the battery was used up by the screen and I use this for about three hours and 26 minutes for three thousand twenty-six minutes of screen on time and I wasn't using that that like max brightness pretty much I try to stay around sixty percent in the brightness area so this has I guess average battery life it's got 3300 milliamp hours which is pretty decent it's not bad I would hope for a bit more but you know it'll get the job done alright guys so it's the middle of the night the phone just shut off but before it did I ended up getting four hours and 34 minutes of on-screen time which is actually pretty decent it actually surprised me how long it lasted towards the end of its day so uh four hours in the four and a half hours can't really complain about that I got to say so far I'm really liking this phone definitely the best LG has come out with I think it's safe to say I love the direction LG took with the g6 it's got a wing more premium feel than the g5 was before and I think it does a really good job at seeing like a quality phone the feel in the hand as well as the build quality is great on this phone but what I'm not so crazy about is the glass back being able to get all those fingerprints now that might be because this is a black version I don't know how the other colors will react to fingerprints but I'm not so crazy about what you'll see with the black makes me want to put either a skin or a case on it now even though I'm not too crazy about the home screens of LG skin I do find the performance to be right where I'd expected now the thing isn't running the latest version of the Snapdragon processor but I honestly don't find that to be a big deal it was very snappy handled everything I threw at it so there's really no complaints beside the fact that it's not the latest not dragon process now in terms of performance in the real world latest chip or not I had no slowdowns or hiccups and this thing ran super smooth for me throughout my time with it so I have no complaints now in terms of the camera I got to say I was really impressed being able to switch to a wide-angle lens with the press of a button is an awesome feature this makes getting certain shots a lot easier since you don't have to back up all the way you're still on that wide-angle lens and you're able to capture way way more my pictures came out nice and sharp however I did notice that some of them were a bit overexposed especially when it came to that front-facing camera but for the most part it did the trick and also being able to have that wide-angle option for the front camera as well is a nice touch and I also really liked other features like expandable storage the wireless charging and it's even water-resistant for those accidental spills and honestly it's looking like a great phone to pick up however I do that Google now launcher on there and not look back but it is a very very solid phone and I definitely think that once it's released a lot of people will be happy but that was my day with it hopefully you guys enjoyed it those were my thoughts let me know what you think of the g6 down below I'll catch you guys in the next one if you enjoyed it give a cool guy girl that gives this video a thumbs up so then it's your average consumer base
