LG have always never been scared to try something new. LG's Flagship Line has been through a fuck tonne of change, every phone has something different to offer, and I respect LG for trying something new every year

[@CrisCozy]

Sebazzee001 Facts! I rather a new design then the same design for 4yrs with 3 upgrades each year salute LG!

[@2DollarandBerbie]

Cris Cozy same

[@sichiweza9152]

Sebazzee001 LG All the way!!!

[@alexxburnall81]

vdvvd

[@sebastientumahai9560]

the new trend in phones: glass on metal on glass build 18:9 ratio screen with curved off edges on the screen premium design and materials water proofing and resistance dual camera fingerprint reader USB type c hoping there's a headphone jack

[@2DollarandBerbie]

Sebazzee001 lol

[@sebastientumahai9560]

Admiral Ashik true

[@leonardoserafim1326]

Sebazzee001 For your luck, there is a headphone jack

[@TheBabyface774]

U forgot one! Wireless charging 😂

[@sebastientumahai9560]

its not a new trend, read it properly

[@pirateglam]

Finally someone is showing that LG G6 has the app drawer option..

[@Fantasticboy200]

P YRU a lot of reviewer just miss leading people giving people wrong information telling us it done have an app draw and it's there all u need to do is enable it.

[@clay1108]

P YRU that home plus app drawer does not appear out of the box. I think it appears once you activate that lg world app then it auto updates.

[@TopSecretVid]

Just ordered a G6 for $199 seems like a very good phone even in 2019

[@richaftanas9609]

$30 at Boost...

[@hiddenman99]

@@richaftanas9609 No Friggen way. 30$ Bucks ?

[@richaftanas9609]

Yep. Happy with it. All my friends got flagships $750-$1,100. I've had a phone since 1989... Been through all the latest. Lol. Gonna get a Note 10 by November 2020... Patience is the key.

[@Watermelon-tj1zu]

30? Just bought it from boost at 270. Did I miss a sale?

[@richaftanas9609]

$30. I was a new customer... Got lucky. However, Boost service isn't so great. Liked Metro better. IDK.

[@Bakazinha]

"Put your sim card in" - Okay, stopped watching from there

[@jaystew1249]

SaNi TV right. this should have been titled "The first 10 things u do when u buy a NEW PHONE". Using LG G6 in the title gave the impression it would be about interesting/ helpful content specifically for G6 users

[@orlandofurioso392]

Sani Plays so true

[@larisa-shults]

Believe it or not, in the past I bought all my phones in the stores and this essential function was performed by a clerk, without me paying attention to it. It a super helpful and quick/easy tip for me which prevented me from having to figure it out struggling through reading instructions.

[@iorshkee]

The same fuckin though!!!!

[@questioneverything6270]

-_- this is why I check comments

[@mohdmoiz]

The design of the phone looks good Very attractive

[@callumblack1]

Indeed. Want it for Christmas or my Bday.

[@erenitydiamonds3945]

Mr. nobody it is I like it better then my old phone

[@shadowguy20004]

These videos are always my go to when I get my new LG. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@victoroliveira3256]

All great tips, great job.

[@shirlgk]

Thanks. Some good points that i hadn't realized yet...very much enjoy this phone.

[@karenkeaslingspecialk54]

Thanks for the great info for my new LG G6!!

[@NoferTrunions]

Very useful video with good pace!

[@timh.9467]

Thank you for this video:D

[@picklepower24]

Just saying, if you enable developer options by tapping on the build number a lot you can force all apps to be used with split screen with the option "force apps to be resizeable"

[@Chemy.]

It's nice to see this kind of guides, I only missed the step 0. having the phone, I'm sure it will be pretty expensive or something so. Great video man

[@paulpeynado7842]

this might have sealed the deal for me after watching the how-to on the home screen choices and how the LG skin offers the familiar stock Android look. Thank you so much for this! I almost turned off this video because it was kind of plain lol.

[@shelliepetty4951]

Good video!

[@toryrobinson8904]

I just upgraded from the G4 to the G6. Thanks for this very informative video!

[@toryrobinson8904]

Ian Owens I know. I had to upgrade because the bootloop defect turned my G4 into a useless brick!

[@mariana336]

Lg has the best personalization options I've seen in phones, which I really like, the templates are very good and change the icons, the keyboard and it's super cute! plus, I don't have to install sluggish third party apps. It's usually the first thing I do, though I like to continue changing them according to the season :P Also, the smart settings, I set it up to turn on wifi as soon as it recognizes I'm home, so I don't forget to do it and end up using my megas.

[@nwbeat]

Great vid. Shoutout to Portland.

[@pangaeus]

Very helpful- I went through them all with my new phone!

[@pangaeus]

However, there is no option to download additional themes or to get to LG smartworld

[@Muhammad88525]

really glad for the first tip.. put your sim in...

[@VicTahMoan]

My God thank you so much, not having an app drawer was the only big let down of switching to LG

[@steviegbcool]

lucky i found the video i would of never thought of putting my sim in without it!!

[@woezacardoza5659]

I love my LG G6

[@mitchell.taylor]

I am liking this phone more and more...\

[@ABDZ89]

Oh thanks for the first tip

[@cc507724]

Once you move beyond the home screen do you have the option in the settings menu to get rid of the black box that surrounds the menu, home, and back buttons?

[@Rydventures]

Some long term review would be great 😊😊😊

[@judymiller4131]

Having just bought my first ever smart phone , thank you for your 10 suggestions.

[@bingoSK9]

Can Google assistant open the GPS and set an itinerary on Maps if the location is already saved on a Contact page? You know for when you are driving and don't want to pull over to set up a route manually.

[@jayou1987]

you had me at lebron james and then the blazers. subscribed

[@mihailazar2487]

PRO TIP ... MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL A LAUNCHER WHAT SUPPORTS GESTURES (i recommend Nova, TSF or APUS) and definitely set up expand notifications when swipe down from homescreen and open app drawer when swiping up from the homescreen ... this will give you the optimal experience for that tall display as now you can expand notifications way easier

[@darrellmoore4478]

Hi I have the LG g6 . Can you add a signature to your text message that will show when you send a text?

[@MichaelJDay]

Thanks for the good useful tips! I used to have Samsung phone S4, S5 until the camera broke on the S5. I switched over to the LG V10 last year and loved it until it became a victim of the dreaded "boot loop" (mfg defect). It's in for repair and I just purchased the G6. The screen is a bit smaller than the V10 but the speed and build of this phone is one of the best out there. Although I use Macbook pros and an iPad, I've never owned an iPhone and I don't regret it. The G6 is my daily driver.

[@thomasjepsen6750]

I'm thinking about it too but since the G6 was released in 2016 I'm worried about it aging badly so I'm going for the s8 or maybe even The mate9. Might even wait for the 10 series coming 16th October not sure. Comments and thoughts are welcome.

[@richaftanas9609]

G6 in 17. Not 16...

[@jasontritz7777]

Is there an app drawer avalible

[@JuiceEasy]

except tutorial - Thanks!

[@Diegarchowon]

i want to change the start menu to "home & app drawer" but it dessapeared when i restored the factory settings... how do i get it again???

[@PopsiclesInMyCellar]

13:20 Nothing like taking a nice big *dump* on some themes.

[@randomuser6025]

Question! I don't receive any emergency alerts where can i find it to turn it on and off? My Lg G6 dont have emergency alerts on setting or anywhere. Please if you know comment below. Thank you!

[@AlkaiserNeo]

That type of SIM Ejector Tool did not come with my AT&T LG G6. No tool came with it. I have some on hand but the pin part is too big for the hole. Where can I buy that round ejector tool? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the net.

[@UkrainianStallion9999]

LG G6👍👏👏👏

[@neek247]

Does the G6 have an indicator light like the G5 that blinks when you have notifications?

[@markl2305]

neek247 no it does not 😞

[@choiceblade]

Extremely , coherent and relavent info, great pacing. You got my sub.

[@DroidlifeDL]

Welcome to the channel!

[@attantianirudh3784]

Michael Amos lmao

[@johnmillerson400]

J j

[@littlemissdangerous]

can it do screenshots? I hope, and if so is it a palm swipe to get the screenshot?

[@DarioooZ]

Little Miss Dangerous You have to press the button at the backside and 'volume down'

[@shreyasharit6773]

I want LG G6

[@tazmaniataibi]

My biggest thing with launchers is....noneeeee of them are flawless....either stock widgets don't work or icons look different in two different spots or icons mismatch on homescreen. Rather just have what my g6 came with so everything looks matching and alike

[@kingwing5963]

Put a screen protector on I learnd the hard way :(

[@amrdel2730]

yeah and do it when you drop it and gets one or two bruises on the allumenium edges in back isi it all ok and i think i notice a little tiny space between glass and aluminium is that ok

[@sunnivh]

Hi Droid Life, Can you 'scroll down' anywhere on the screen to get the notifications?

[@feel.s1304]

Sunnivh Subba of course. From the top is where you swipe from.

[@marufio]

Wish you could get to notification panel with finger print reader like the pixel.

[@emre.keser03]

Sunnivh Subba only Samsung phones can do that idk about LG

[@zoel2007]

If I get another 32gb sm card and the phone alons is 32gb will it add on to it or will it so nothing.

[@pog_nplaum]

how u know how to set upa theme for the text messages? i would love to change the colors amd theme so it won't look too plain.

[@wintrymix]

Click on the three dots in the upper right, go to settings and choose background. You can't change bubbles anymore.

[@MsHackthat]

Does it has quad dac?

[@sam.butler]

I dont have the Home and App drawer option on my G6?

[@jimgee2676]

can i use a wireless charger on the lg g6

[@seiji5756]

First thing to do: get Nova launcher and get rid of LG's skin

[@aweiss1215]

mb b nobody does that shit anymore.

[@alimirza7907]

LG skin is fantastic even from LG UX5.0 found on the LG G5, the G6 has even more fantastic LG UX 6.0 tha's my favourite over the laggy TouchWiz and the boring stock Android

[@bluesnap40]

Zach Mouille Definitely

[@XplodingTurtle]

Zach Mouille ew i HATE nova launcher

[@marufio]

Nova is a must on lg g6. Also change the icons to pixel they look so much better

[@glitterpandadiy4231]

i might pick dis phone :P

[@AmericanMe]

greetings fellow portlander!

[@vladhristev481]

but how to open camera with screen off? it wasn't clear enough!

[@fennec7906]

Does this phone lag? Looked like it was really struggling at one point in the video.

[@edwinhay6967]

hey is there still the double tap to wake/lock function??

[@williamanderson9525]

Edwin San yes

[@edwinhay6967]

Have A Good Day alright thanks! have a good day

[@devylia]

Talk silly. 1 Insert the SIM card .... Now Way ???

[@suckmabroccoli762]

I cannot decide between lg g6 and honor 9. Someone help?

[@gxnn.i]

im kinda mad i got the 7Plus and not this

[@mohamedndiaye7912]

genni The 7 plus is still a solid phone.

[@sebas-md1km]

genni it's still a solid phone you can't go wrong with ethier of them but the LGg6 looks nice

[@CrisCozy]

genni no headphone jack is just insane Apple is basically trapping people in there ecosystem.

[@gxnn.i]

Cris Cozy lack of headphone jack is something all manufacturers are going to do moving forward. the ecosystem i agree with, it's hard to get out of

[@lassilahtiluoma5852]

Sebastian Torres 14 well I'd be confused if my phone was liquid instead of solid lol

[@mikees6254]

Genuine question, is this better than Xperia XZs? Insight anyone?

[@maxlumley3772]

Theres now fingerprint option in settings

[@spirituallytarot7215]

I just got this phone what is the #Auto in contacts who is it calling with video when i hit it

[@PianoKei]

Oh my god, he got it totally wrong. He missed out on the first 3 things to do. #1 When it arrives in your mail, move your fat hands and unpack it from it packet envelope. #2 Examine the item from the packet to ensure that you indeed have received an LG G6 and not a sex toy or a trunki. #3 Once you've confirmed that it's an LG G6, again using your fat hands, use them and take the phone out of its box.

[@Jawad.1]

Hahahaha

[@notsureiL]

My hand isn't fat just big bones.

[@KLAY1946]

when my screen is off and I get a text, the screen illuminates and it shows the message...how do I turn that off??

[@M461Cfs]

ima wait at the end of the year to buy bezzeles screen phones so I can choose from samsung or iPhone

[@wookiesrave]

just got the LG but not feeling at mo I was looking at the s8 think I like that screen more but only time will tell.

[@SJ-uo5vx]

Wow

[@Pk-bx1nj]

"Allways on Display won't drain your battery". Surely does, several hrs. Eg. Off=14hrs On=9 hrs

[@zizijili4149]

My device does not have Home & App drawer option :-/

[@arkinsondanson8390]

Watching this in my G6 after 3 years😂😂

[@DavidNikkiZane]

Same

[@natancopeincraft]

What if I started the phone without the sim card in, and then put it in after, because it's saying that my sim card is not compatible, and I know it is. What am I doing wrong? When I put the sim card in do I have to restart the phone or go to some kind of option? This is so frustrating? Please, somebody?...SBN RESONATE

[@sc9433]

???? seriously? 1st thing to do with g6 is to insert simcard into the tray by using a pin? i cannotz brainz.

[@xdarkknightx7620]

should I get this or the v20?

[@DroidlifeDL]

Wait for V30 or get this if you are a big LG fan.

[@shu7927]

BOX CUTTAH PAZIEEEEEEEEEEE

[@paulcusentino4917]

I wonder if the G6 has a LED notification light.

[@meghannmurphy3307]

Paul Cusentino it doesn't!

[@Brad._.]

Anyone else concerned that it shows recent images on the side without unlocking the phone...

[@kaspiani]

Excelsior omg that's true

[@disturbedpyro4511]

Excelsior there's an option to turn it off if you dont want to display your recent photos. i have this phone and that feature wasn't on by default.

[@wintrymix]

His phone isn't locked. When it's locked, the shortcut will take you to camera but all the previews of old photos will be hidden.

[@Rocrastination]

He have smart lock, which means whenever the phone senses that is moving, it remains unlocked. If you place it on a plain surface and let it for like 5 mins it will lock itself and it will ask you for the fingerprint/ pin/ password, and I guess those pictures wont appear.

[@J.DeezNuts]

It doesn't. His phone is unlocked with "Smart Lock"

[@monyscell8352]

you need a proprietary tool to remove the ridiculously tiny sim? that's where this phone lost me.. makes me want to run screaming to find one of the last G4's.. like it isn't bad enough that the G6 has no app drawer..?! how does one even use a phone with no app drawer? how do you access the apps then, with a third party app drawer?? Thanks so so much for the info this has saved me a ton of money and the stress of buying a phone that would make me miserable.

[@a.b1266]

Mony's cell or...... a paperclip.

[@XplodingTurtle]

Mony's cell have you watched the full vid you moron? It HAS a app drawer.

[@monyscell8352]

+Xploding-turtle - I did, but I was sooo pissed about the things they've changed (and how stupid is it that the phone comes or if the box without the app drawer accessible?!?) what the heck would the point be in hiding it and making every single user have to go thru extra steps to unhide it? Makes no sense at all. But I find no need to your name calling - is one thing to call an inanimate object a name, but not a person. Furthermore, when I comment on a video it's actually directed at the channel owner, unless specifically directed at someone else.

[@yojgee]

Now that I'm about 90% convinced to get a G6, my final deciding factor will be the battery life.

[@USArmy91222]

i'll be getting this phone too,looks solid all around!!

[@feel.s1304]

Jack Graybird I have my lg g6 at 100% brightness. I use heavily for 8 hours a day, from 100% charge. at the end of the day I usually have 15 to 20% charge.

[@johnwilliams9195]

You forgot the most important LG feature. You can customize the home touch buttons to include dual windows or others.

You have to enable LG Smart World. Find that app in your app drawer. It might need to be updated first, or you might need to log in.
