[@user-fq6gg7hd3n]

great review. thumbs up.

[@SzTSzTechnology]

Really nice and good review, great job👍👍👍

[@jeremybcenteno]

Thank you. This is what makes product reviews great! You talk about a product from your perspective. I mean it has to be somewhat subjective, because the spec sheet tell only half of the story. Kudos to LG for producing this amazing smartphone, definitely on par with the flagship models.

[@GusHayabusa]

@GadgetMatch (5:08) Rear facing speakers? What rear facing speakers and why plural? Isnt there only one?

[@michalskvarenina8771]

I really like this channel. Quality content, in-depth views, and funny moderator. You really deserve more subscribers!! Wish all the best!

Thank you :) Don't forget to subscribe!

[@domingohernandez6596]

I've had LG phones for many years. My last 3 phones were "LG Xpower" what I liked about them was that when I would get an inbound text message, no matter who it was from, it would say something like "Text message from J. Doe" then read the context of the message without any more action on my part. I don't remember ever downloading a special app. Now, I have an LG 6G, and this feature doesn't seem to be on this phone. Can someone help me?

[@Technosquid]

2:45 The 5.5" iPhone 7 Plus does in fact have a smaller screen area than the 5.7" LG G6, but because of the difference in aspect ratio, it's not as large as the diagonal measurement suggests (12.93in sq vs 13in sq) A 5.7" screen in the 16:9 aspect ratio would have an area of 13.88in sq. Rule of thumb - the closer a rectangle is to square, the greater area per diagonal measurement. This is obvious with 4:3 iPads and 3:2 Surface devices when compared to 16:9 and 16:10 screens of the same diagonal measurement, but less obvious when comparing a 2:1 (18:9) screen with a 16:9.

[@samlung2724]

Technosquid still. the lg g3 also has a 5.5" screen and it fits inside the iphone plus lol

[@milanpatel986]

Hello I have LG G6(H870DS) an Indian Variant. Will it work properly in USA/Canada? Please help...

[@chase0073]

Great review!

[@gadgetmatch]

Thanks Wil!

[@midwesttech7785]

I 've own LG phones V10 and still V20 and I like LG but I am a Samsung fan but have Been trying other phones. I never owned a G series but I was liking that LG was the last to hold out on the removable battery, and that's over now. The G6 is a very nice looking phone and had a chance to play with it and I would say you can't go wrong with the G6. what Im. not getting is why is one place getting wireless charging and other with the dac and others with nothing at all. I would like to say thanks for the heads up on what you would be getting with the LG 6 depending on where you live.

[@yes6325]

can you please do a review on the UMi Super 4g Phablet?

[@soursop22]

Considering the G6 but my concerns lie with the software malfunction and it's constant rebooting issues. Can you clarify if that issue has been addressed? I'm currently an owner of one of the LG models and im having serious issues with the freezing of screen unexpectedly and constant rebooting

[@TheJoenaruto]

ILIKEIT. . you are really good Josh

[@raksheetchawathe7047]

Ayy great video as always man. Really like the way your channel is growing! Keep up the good work!

[@gadgetmatch]

[@maricriscarter7139]

[@mrllanoPH]

This is great, the video and the phone.

[@TalhaUmarr]

I seriously enjoy your videos....

[@AnthonySimmons0226]

Im a fan of this year's build quality on the LG G6. Still a huge fan of how you present your assessment on devices Michael Josh!

[@gadgetmatch]

The G6 is a beautiful phone! Thanks Anthony!

[@beer1for2break3fast4]

Just wondering if the Canadian version has the wireless recharge feature?

[@minadas7506]

I have seen many reviewers on KZbin but you are by far the best I have ever seen.

[@gadgetmatch]

Awww. Thank you. Make sure you subscribe to get more from us. :)

[@minadas7506]

GadgetMatch just before watching your video saw a jerk reviewing lg g6 that it is not a capable phone.i wanted to kick him but after watching your review about the g6 I thought that is what a real review is.You are awesome.Thanks.

[@BaluartechOfficial]

guys, I live here in the philippines. What model is available here? does it support quad dac or the wireless charging?

[@AAhmed_Alii]

what a graceful review..

[@johndawabi9786]

Hi Josh, keep it up! nice videos and great reviews :)

[@gadgetmatch]

Thanks John!

[@mariasaskiaaxelperez431]

Hello there. Got my g6 for a week now. And im disappointed on its cameras (rear and front facing) its very grainy and pixelated both manual and auto mode. Wat am i missing? Plss help 😣😣😣

[@LoRDSMiZ]

Great Review!!

[@highdiary]

What watch are you wearing? Looks nice

[@christianrexrubia3237]

is global version is come with 4 to 64gb varriant? please reply planning to buy....

[@skyMcWeeds]

Those very slim bezels both the S8 and G6 are bringing SEXY BACK! And I can forgive the loss of removeable batteries as long as the built in power pack lasts a day or two. As for the issue of using a last year SoC I have no qualms about it, specs are not the be all and end all of smartphones. I learned this the hard way last year with the Moto Z Play and Zenfone 3 satisfying my needs even though they are midrangers. I rarely found issues and jankiness on those devices, they ran buttery smooth, that SD625 made me a believer its power efficiency was great. Never again shall I write off any device that has less than flagship specs.

[@TheShrineofEnglish]

special way to present... you have catching personality

[@holysmoke11]

how is the autofocus speed of this phone? with playing children running etc Is it able to catch those moments? with my s7 it is great is there a way to compare autofocus speed with taking pictures

[@holysmoke11]

i heard yhe G6 is terrible in shooting running kids always blurry (auto modus ) can anyone confirm that

[@sulemanali803]

Really a sweet review

[@harismechy92]

Hi Josh. I think you might have confused on the display part. It supports HDR10, while HDR+ is the pixel camera tech. Cheers!

[@juliuscaezarchavez6482]

Hey wanna ask if theres any Starbucks here im the philippines that has wireless charging feature yey

[@jctocino2054]

my friends samsung s6, s7 already broken my lg g4 still is working smoothly I think it has something to do with the balance of design and performance cheers to lg for releasing LG G6 I'll definitely buy one

[@keithvernon7098]

What brand watch are you wearing?

[@Heimonsterr]

bootloop issue is already fixed on this one?

[@harithareddy6375]
