LG G6 review: pure phone, no gimmicks

The LG G6 is one of the contenders for best smartphone of 2017. It's unique 18:9 aspect ration display allow it to fit a larger display into a smaller footprint and its dual camera allow you to capture truly incredible photos and videos.

Reviews are by definition, a persons experience with a product or service. They are not silly benchmark tests, or gadget feature comparisons, since literally anyone can do those. Thank you for knowing what a review is, and for your experienced opinion. It was informative, well reasoned, and succinct. Liked and subbed.

[@Hightechtraveler]

+Billy Blazer I appreciate the kind words.

[@georgehuser4711]

Honestly...best 2017 phone review... Dude love your vids! Liked and subbed!

[@slimman74]

I like your review, seems very honest. I have the LG G6 and I really like the phone. No real complaints besides the storage, it should have been at least 64gb.

[@Hightechtraveler]

Completely agree. At least there's a microSD card slot, but LG should have at least given users the option of picking up a device with 64GB.

[@renu1949]

High Tech Traveler here in India it's launched with 64gb storage

[@stanradanov428]

Can I shoot RAW with wide angle lens?

[@joaquinninoortega156]

yes

[@RaanaGolzar]

Keith Taylor its ok dude u can get up to 2 terabytes of storage on the g6

[@renu1949]

your reviews ​are always non biased and to the point. I also admire the LG G6 for the overall package they have given in their flagship.

[@android199x]

Thank you!♥️ It's been 3yrs old I still inlove with my G6 📱❤️

[@alienstl]

As a LG G6 user I must say: Great review!

[@oliverkroll5300]

Why do all channels hate on the G5 ?! I really don't get it I still have mine and the camera is absolutely stunning with amazing performance .

[@GeorgeGiann]

By far the best LG G6 review I've watched. Excellent combination of narration and video.

[@jebbymr]

Hey really great review.. so glad I chanced upon it. Keep up the great work !

[@markdennisdaly8766]

Dig ur style of review! Keep it up

[@th34ndroid67]

This is a really good review thanks man for the hard work

[@tomelew8465]

Great review, Thanks! Quick question for ya... what is the awesome music playing in the background during the photo segment?

[@MikBan]

Using this phone for a month now.. went on a trip and fall in love with the capability of these camera sensors. People having iphones (6+ and 7) wanted some pictures taken by this in stead of their phones.The wide angle is far more useful than something like telephoto lens. LG should have marketed this one better..

[@melissanarcavage7328]

I really enjoyed this review. It's very unbiased and really focuses on the phone itself and features. Also liked how the video focused on images of the phone in use.

[@Hightechtraveler]

+Melissa Narcavage glad to hear it. We always love feedback, but positive words are especially appreciated.

[@prophetnoir]

Outstanding review!

[@tavo2422]

Love this phone. Reminds me of an iPhone. I don't have to be careful how I hold it like the S8.

[@georgehuser4711]

I'll go for this phone after this review!

[@Dan12gt]

Really good review enjoyed it more than those 1+million sub channels, subbed. I'm tired of Samsung had galaxy's since S4 to S7 edge which I currently own, tired of curved displays I ordered a G6 black for 396$ can't believed I only payed that much for it half the price of an S8.

[@mihailazar2487]

05:58 yes but you can use a launcher which supports swipe gestures to expand notification shade and to open the app drawer

[@crizzyville114]

i cry at this. because certainly i want this so bad after i retire my g3. amongst all the complaints though, not having a removable battery is my topmost concern

[@frandetrovi47]

Watching this on my LG G3! Gonna miss my removable battery. Still phone is still awsome.

[@alinggal1269]

Great Review!

[@Hightechtraveler]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Working hard to put out quality content for you guys. If you have any suggestions as to other content you'd like to see, just let me know.

[@tobinfrost8934]

good review. I'm going to get this phone.

[@smallboxtech]

when taking picture under water, Touch is not working?

[@pishongeorge5541]

wow nice done brother ... i like the video . this review seems very honest to me

[@DimitrisA-dh9yh]

im between xzp(i have the z1 and i really like sony! but i think its big!),p10(it has everything i need except ip68..and the size is small which i prefer!)and g6(it is great for me but i dont know if the battery is good!)...so what do u guys think?!

[@bharathbgowda1427]

sir I have lg g6 and they have realeased a upgrade for g6 indian version can u give me a review for that

[@norbertlevas3819]

I'm still happy user of note5 because I personally don't like any edge phones:( I had s7 edge and got back to bite 5 because of the edge. Now all new phones are with that edge design so I'll go now for LG first time in my life. Hope will love it. desig is great to me too

[@MemphisMojo15s]

Norbert Trujano G6, V20 or V30...I've had all LG for the last 4 years. I tried Nexus, HTC, Samsung, Blackberry, and Motorola..problems with all of them 😏 not any with my LG Spectrum2, G Vista, wife's old G2 that our son is using as of this past weekend...phone is from 2014!, one boot loop issue on her V10 bought in 2015 that happened after having the phone for almost a year and 4 months... which is now replaced with her new V10, and has been fine, and my G6 now, which is serving me well so far. excellent finish, sensible UI, nice feel and build quality, good battery life, no complaints on the storage because its expandable, excellent camera, smaller than an average phone due to more screen, 5.7" QHD, more pixels than Samsung S8, less bezel, great case options such as the D30 Picadilly by Gear4, its silver clear which is great with my Ice Platinum color, and being water resistant, (I work around water) I cannot think of one thing to really complain about..G6 has no removable battery so if that's important, get a V series 😁 let us know what you get!

[@paramjitsingh2636]

what is the camera in low light or in night

[@mindika_madushan]

Oneplus 5,htc u11,lg g6 which one is the best to buy?

[@debbielucas3225]

I don't like the fact that I can't find the clipboard and can't paste like I could on my Samsung, and no video help's me find a way to use these, so if anyone that has a Lg G6 please any tips will be helpful

[@eduardomarquez1071]

best review i have see it

[@amareshwarbhattacharya9262]

Where's available,what Price ?

[@mahendranramachandran844]

thankyou sir

[@priyadarshidas1878]

We in india get the 64gb version with a Quad Dac audio chip, it can blow ur mind with the audio quality

[@redwingbeast1396]

Priyadarshi Das. Got mine yesterday watching on it

[@-zerenity-2322]

why is there a black bezel around the display of the phone :C

[@rico4you]

great review on an awesome device..for the money and features it is great! Thanks

[@Hightechtraveler]

+Rico4you I truly enjoy this phone and still use it on a daily basis even though I have the HTC U11.

[@renu1949]

High Tech Traveler when are you going to compare the camera for htc u11,S80, pixel and G6 side-by-side.

[@MemphisMojo15s]

If you can't get by with 32GB of storage with expandable storage, somethings wrong.especially when Verizon has A cloud.... I've installed A lot apps on my G6 and still have half the storage left and the phone doesn't lag in the least...good review. thanks

[@syedsubhan6921]

LG g6 good camera nice video

[@FrankMarchetti]

I like the music in the background - what is it?

[@Hightechtraveler]

The title of the song it Let Go by Riot. I found it on the KZbin Audio Library.

[@XoeCox]

I love my g6. I had an s8 but I did not like it at all. The g6 reminded me of the iphone. no bells and whistles but it just works.

[@mwmurrell]

i think that it supports up to a 2tb micro sd

[@Shaadlocs]

Buying a 200GB Sandisk Micro SD right now on amazon! :D This video helped

[@MorkusReX]

I think it's the best phone on the year (well, until September anyway). Using it for almost a month and its just...everything is great about it. No, not prefect but really really good device!

[@princeking-sv8kk]

I have lg g6 but not updated software android 10 very bad not updated

[@knykcom]

can we have this G6 review from Far East Movement?

[@DigitalApprentice888]

hows the battery life? who has the dac version?

[@khaledkibria2434]

Asian variants has quad dac

[@benschruder8256]

Things that i dont like about this phone: 1. Front facing camera only 5MP with f2.4 they couldve made it 8MP or atleast lower the aperture 2. The positioning of the rear camera it often blocks my hand and makes it a bit hard to hold esp shooting at landscape 3. The positioning of the volume keys shoulda been on the right again i often press it accidentally when shooting from landscape or playing 4. The positioning of headphone jack shoula been on the bottom. It's still a great phone though. I really love it.

[@KTPurdy]

With the G6, LG also ditched the swap-able battery. What a shame.

[@judenoda9412]

Kent Purdy yeah but what flagship has a removable battery?

[@KTPurdy]

Yep, LG lost a differentiating feature. It's simply nice to refresh the battery to new condition each year with a fresh battery.

[@Epiqe]

Best phone ever made

[@saswatogupta6128]

It's such a beautiful piece of hardware. I just wish LG would shift to AMOLED at some point.

[@94nolo]

Wish they had the 835 so they could have QC4.0

[@JuanSinMiedo441]

Saswato Gupta i don't like amoled. Hurts my eyes

[@DLBBALL]

tane100 What's that got to do with anything? You can turn down brightness settings...

[@benschruder8256]

The screen is good while amoled suffers from screen burn esp when you have always on display

[@lombardo8]

Ben Schruder Correct. I have just upgraded to the G6 from an S6 Edge. The natural progression would have been to an S8 but after 2 years with the S6E the screen is different shades in different places. I am a heavy phone user so OLED screens don't work for me.

[@jorgepineda2129]

I'm getting mine tomorrow! awesome vid man!

[@94nolo]

Jorge Pineda how is it!

[@jorgepineda2129]

Nolan Milnes its awesome! everything about it great, like taking a pic on square camera and how its more screen less wasted space.

[@brwnberry986]

My g6 came with a 64gb internal memory

[@vickyvonstein2331]

i upgraded my phones cpu to 6700hq and storage upgrade to 850 Evo 250gb.

[@SDav21]

The G5's camera did not fall short of anyone. GSM Arena had a shootout between the S7, a Sony, the G5 and the iPhone 7. The G5 won. Sooooo. What are you on about.

[@94nolo]

No doubt. Best camera until the LG V20 and Pixel came out.

[@bryantdube]

G6 camera sucks i bought the phone after watching the videos on KZbin but dont be fooled the Camera quality sucks.Will never never buy a LG flagship phone again.This is 2017

[@vyakaranam]

Wow supar

[@meinradsocial3740]

I prefer a quad core processor over an octa core!

[@jasoncorn9306]

qualcomm snapdragon will be newer as the phone gets older in production

[@Raul-yd8yg]

For 399 is it worth it? I have a speacial offer going on

[@Hightechtraveler]

+Raul Valdivieso Urdiales I'd definitely jump on it at that price.

[@Raul-yd8yg]

High Tech Traveler ok thanks for the suggestion!

[@donmakavelithuglife9058]

lg g6 with eMMC Storage OF COURSE

[@RPaolo12]

It has a 64 gb variant

[@alexpelo7911]

Raw sauce, no ketchup

[@carl9184]

I have the G4 and it's been pretty good for most part of the two years. Had to replace it under contract after 6 months for LG known display fault. However I refuse to buy any other LG phones because of their marketing decision in Europe. No V10 or V20 and when they do release the G6 it come with neither the DAC of wireless charging.. Sorry you've lost another customer LG

[@nico4132]

i love to buy G6 but my plan is to upgrade my phone in 2018

[@Hightechtraveler]

+nico4132 if the G7 has a better processor and slightly better camera, it could be amazing.

[@TranscendTheSun]

I'm sitting here hoping they make a flex 3

[@mihailazar2487]

08:00 32 GB is MORE THAN ENOUGH for all of your apps ... photos and videos you can store on a micro SD card

[@petladshrikatchhpatidarsan5450]

Mihai Lazar lg g6 hiting issue and app lock app preinstuled ?

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

it could be made faster by cranking of the processors clock speed than needing a beer processor that's only barely better than it's predecessor!

[@darbarvalishaik3569]

i buy G6 today

[@bryantdube]

Camera improvements is bad very disappointing not mentioning the front facing it sucks.

[@edreyez484]

next LG phones will very good.. starting with G6, this looks good and the future is much better than samsung shitty design that always following iphone image...

[@Kujatrance]

barcelona :)

[@EthanB-01]

its a bitch that the uk gets shafted with no wireless charging or quad dac

[@josephacosta7882]

And again It will bootloop and will be forgotten by LG. If only LG did something about the G4/V10 issue everyone will get this phone for sure. What a douche company.

[@AkronKid330]

I know this sounds bad but literally the only reason I'm not getting this phone is because the black bars while watching KZbin

[@Hightechtraveler]

+Mike Gauer with Samsung going the same route with the Galaxy S8, the 18:9 aspect ratio will be even more popular next year. It'll be hard to escape it in the future. However, KZbinrs like Ash Taylor are already producing videos which take advantage of this wider form factor and I wouldn't be surprised if others did the same over the next few months.

[@puddingpudding9579]

well given that you want have much of a choice of smartphone anymore lg sansung even iphone 8 will have same black bars given there ratio which could 20.2:9🤔

[@MUHAMMADREHMAN1000]

lg phones are full of shit don't buy it if you don't want to waste your money....i was using lg g3 after some days its stuck on lg logo than i buy lg g4 and same problm happen after some its stuck on lg logo and i lost that phone too after that i decided not to buy lg device i'm sharing this so other people can save their effort and money..

[@michaelwilson8267]

Blue shift, black smear, sub standard display, where are those people at? That screen is blue as hell and nobody even mentions it, guess they are too busy trying to take down Google!

[@hishgay2734]

Big battery life. Last me 32 hours. Quad HD display. Gorgeous design. Very good camera. 564 pixel density. Not even apple 11 comes to that. Samsung has no chance either. This.phone is the top phone for 2 years now

[@SG-dg6oi]

Wait til it boot-loops!

[@BliZer52]

go to top, sir.

[@Hightechtraveler]

Have not experienced any boot look issues since getting the phone a few weeks back. The phone hasn't even rebooted on its own yet. If I do run into any issues, I'll be sure to leave another comment.

[@jfphotography69]

Steve G LG said that it's boot loop issues will be a thing of the past.

[@MemphisMojo15s]

Steve G wanna continue holding Samsungs exploding batteries against them, too?

[@SG-dg6oi]

actually I think the G6 will be my next phone.

[@HiddenDeadX]

Dude can you just stop talking so positive about it all?! You only complain about things nobody cares about, the processor and memory size.

[@Hightechtraveler]

+HiddenDead X I didn't complain about the processor. Actually said that the SD821 is a very good chip and most people would t be able to tell the differencd if this phone had the 835. As for storage, I stand by my statement that flagship devices should have 64 GB of storage as standard. I just got back from vacation and the 32 GB of storage was a big issue while with family and traveling since I was limited to less than 10 minutes of 4k video recording.

[@HiddenDeadX]

High Tech Traveler There exists SD cards. But saying that still says that your only talking positive about the phone. You literally complain about NOTHING. Is there really nothing you hate about the phone?!

[@Hightechtraveler]

+HiddenDead X not really. If there was, I would have mentioned it. Been using it as my main device since MWC. Don't get me wrong, it's not the perfect device (I don't think we'll ever get a perfect device), but it's pretty darn great. Could be the best smartphone LG has ever made.

[@HiddenDeadX]

High Tech Traveler Yeah but not the best lg phone.. No notification led, no removable battery and the battery that is in this one isn't the best so when i take a 2 year contract the battery will be terrible after 1 year.

[@MorkusReX]

HiddenDead X Dude, it's a really good phone!! I like it much more than the S8.
