LG G6 - 48 Hours Later! #Helpful Post
yo
guys johnathan here and over the
weekend
while I was busy talking about
desks
you may have seen LG drop their
brand
new g6 fortunately I was able to
get
my hands on it check it out see what
the
hype is about and these are my
thoughts
48 hours later now for starters
with
the g6 LG has thankfully ditched
the
modular design of its predecessor
the
g5 and instead gone with a safer all
glass
all-metal body that is super
pretty
and while it may not be
groundbreaking
I really like it the one
thing
you do lose with the lack of
modularity
though is the removable
battery
for me that's never been a huge
issue
with the abundance of battery
banks
and fast charging for some people
that
may be a deal-breaker but honestly
I
think it is a small price to pay in
turn
from what yields would be a much
better
overall phone now as far as the
battery
goes internally this is packin
3300
milliamps which isn't bad but it's
also
not great I kind of wish LG would
have
pushed this a little further maybe
somewhere
north to 4,000 but overall you
should
still get some really solid
battery
life with the g6 and more
importantly
like The Rock says
wireless
charging is here now wireless
charging
is a game-changing or
revolutionary
and yes we've seen it on a
ton
of other phones before but it's 2017
which
means it's about time every phone
includes
a wireless charging I'm looking
at
you Apple so thumbs up the LG on this
one
so while the room battery may be
gone
the one thing power users can still
rejoice
and hold on to dearly its
expandable
storage via microSD you're
probably
hear some fancy tech talks run
around
like expandable up to 2 terabytes
of
storage Ropin people back to reality
for
a second the biggest current micro
sd
card available is 1/8 back capacity
even
that is around 200 bucks so you
could
imagine even if a 2 terabyte
microSD
card does come out you're gonna
have
to sell some blueSky to afford it
beyond
that the LG G 6 features the USB
C
port which is thumbs up because
everything
should be USB see we also
still
see the classic LG power button
and
a fingerprint reader on the back
which
is a little weird if you've never
used
it but once you spend some time
with
it it feels really natural now
beyond
the design changes I think maybe
what
stood out most to me with the g6
has
got to be the display because it's
really
different than anything you're
normally
used to seeing this has a 5.7
inch
IPS LCD display with a resolution
of
28 80 by 1440 and if thinking
yourself
that math sounds a little off
you
sir are correct
because
this isn't your traditional 16
by
9 aspect ratio it's actually 18 by 9
so
what this means is gonna be a little
longer
when you're holding it upright
and
a little wider when your holes in it
landscape
it is gonna be a little bit
weird
when you're watching movies and
videos
that aren't 18 by 9 and honestly
that
is the majority of them out there
but
if you can get past the black bars
on
the side which really aren't that big
of
a deal it's actually kind of cool
what
you can do with the extra space for
starters
multitasking works really
really
well because essentially you're
getting
two perfect squares one on the
top
one on the bottom which results in
more
room for activities actually what I
found
really useful those once you're in
the
camera app with that extra space up
top
you can actually see all your recent
photos
that you've taken and again much
like
a lot of things you'll start to
notice
with the g6 it's not game
changing
a revolutionary but it's
actually
really useful on top of that
one
of the coolest things with the g6 is
the
fact that you're getting more screen
real
estate in a smaller overall package
so
for example here is the iPhone 7 plus
this
is a 5.5 inch phone and side by
side
next to the g6 you can see that is
physically
smaller but has more screen
real
estate so that right there honestly
is
kind of a big deal I've always
thought
the iPhone 7 plus was kind of
bulky
and too big for one-handed use so
the
fact that you could fit a bigger
screen
in a smaller package that feels
better
in your hand is kind of a win
beyond
that the bezels or rather lack
thereof
on the g6 are a beautiful
beautiful
thing the curved elements are
super
nice touch and you kinda just want
to
stare at it and appreciate the
display
so day two is one I got to spend
some
time with the camera or cameras I
should
say on the g6
I
gotta admit though every time I stare
at
this thing I cannot unsee the monkey
tablet
stand we're girls so with this
guy
you're getting twin 13 megapixel
shooters
the first which being your
standard
portrait lens and the second
being
an ultra wide get everything in
the
shot Lance but I particularly like
about
this in the g6 is the fact that
you
don't lose any quality jumping back
and
forth from lenses here a couple
pictures
the first of which being the
standard
lens I'm gonna then hop over to
the
ultra wide lens and you can see for
being
really gloomy overcast and nasty
outside
nearing sunset both of these do
a
fantastic job and you don't really
notice
any quality difference at all
overall
for the past couple years I've
really
liked what LG has done in terms
of
smartphone cameras and what the g6 it
is
no different here I definitely do
want
to still put it through its paces a
little
more but overall so far I am sooo
impressed
with the camera now another
bright
note with the g6 is the fact that
it
is now water-resistant just doing
some
basic things like tossing water
taking
some video everything more
perfectly
and while this tests weren't
crazy
by any means I do have some plans
for
some more extreme water tests
featuring
the g6 and that something you
want
to see make sure you guys drop a
like
down below now this is a
pre-production
model so I'm not gonna
dive
too deep into the software of the
OS
you do get Android 7.1 nougat which
is
definitely a plus but in terms of
really
diving deep in there with the
software
I'm definitely gonna wait until
I
got my hands on the final retail model
I
will say I definitely don't mind LG's
skin
it's pretty light and for the most
part
stays out of your way and there are
some
things that I actually kind of
enjoyed
like when you swipe across the
screen
the text kind of bounces with you
which
is strangely satisfying but
overall
gone is the bastard child g5
here
is a g6 I think it's safe to say LG
is
back in the smartphone game aside
from
that thank you guys very much for
watching
if you have me I definitely
feel
free to subscribe you're probably
not
gonna want to miss that water test
and
if you're thinking to yourself what
is
that beautiful setup you can check
out
that video here this is Jonathan and
I
will catch you guys later so day 2 is
when
I guess come on man my mouth is
frozen
shut
like
