The key features of
the LG G6 are:
Excellent viewing
experience - One of the most
important aspect that users consider when deciding on a smartphone is the
display quality it offers, that majorly dictates how their overall experience
with the phone will be. LG G6 flaunts a 5.7-inch QHD+ (2,880 x 1,440
resolution) FullVision display, and for the first time ever in a smartphone, an
18:9 screen aspect ratio. Compared to conventional 16:9 aspect ratio displays,
the 18:9 format offers more viewing space and a more immersive experience when
streaming videos and playing games.
More to See, Less to Hold- The seamless design which offers a slim
width, rounded display, flat camera and a metal frame in 3 colors are some of
the other features that ensure one-handed usage, secured grip, increased speed
and accuracy, premium feel, manageability while outdoors, pocket-ability and
durability. Complimented by narrow bezels, the upper bezel is minimized by
rearranging the camera, sensor and speaker in a row on the front upper side. The
rounded corners of both the body and display not only unify the design but also
dispersing the impact if the phone is dropped. The new UI 6.0 with control
functions located at the bottom of the screen allows for more convenient
single-handed operation.
In fact, ergonomics
research teams led by Dr. Andris Freivalds at Pennsylvania State University and
Dr. Ji Yong-gu at Yonsei University tested the LG G6 for stability when holding
the phone, comfort in various postures and actions, as well as muscle fatigue
when using the smartphone for long periods. The LG G6 received the highest
marks in all test categories.
Transform Your Mobile Viewing Experience with Dolby Vision- The LG G6 is the first
smart phone to feature Dolby Vision technology which supports HDR 10, both of
which are standards for High Dynamic Range (HDR). With this upgrade, the
picture quality is enhanced with the colors being both dark and brighter than
ever before, revealing greater detail for a truly immersive viewing experience.
A special treat for the consumers who love to access content online has been
introduced in the smartphone. HDR content from Netflix and Amazon can now be
watched on the G6 in stunning HDR quality. Amazon will also increasingly create
18:9 content for a cinematic viewing experience on the 18:9 QHD+ display.
Get More In, Leave
Nothing Out -The G6 comes with a dual wide angle camera to
ensure that your clicking experience is a pure delight. G6’s 5MP front camera
covers a wide range of 100 degrees for more inclusive selfies. Plus, the wide
angle camera reduces edge distortion, which makes for more natural images. Its
13 MP rear camera covers 125 degrees lens on the wide angle to capture
panoramic shots that regular phones cameras can’t. The G6 delivers an outstanding and unique camera experience by creating
seamless transitions when zooming in and out between the wide-angle and
standard camera lenses even during 4K video capture.
Square Up and Share -And to view selfies, wefies, wide angle pictures and
even the ones in the new Square Camera
Mode, recent LG G6 photos appear in one window in film mode which means users
don’t need to move to their gallery to review them. The G6 provides a Square
Camera function which divides the 18:9 ratio display into two identical
squares. The LG G6 can also take perfectly square photos in 1:1 ratio, ideal
for Instagram, Snapchat and other social media apps. Users can also choose
other ratios, such as 4:3, 16:9 and 18:9. Users can also take pictures in 1:1
ratio in one window, while checking, editing and uploading pictures in another
window immediately after shooting. What’s more, users can create GIFs by
combining between 2 and 100 photos from the gallery.
Built for the Unexpected -The G6 is the top notch in
its league when it comes to reliability. It is durable, water and
dust-resistant and battery safe. The IP68
water and dust resistance makes it safe to be immersed in up to 1.5 meters of
water for as long as 30 minutes. While full screen with glass and
minimal bezel is prone to breakages, G6 has passed MIL-STD 810G tests—26
different angle drop tests from chest height. It supports QC 3.0, enabling
users to charge up their phones in less than an hour.
Google Assistant, now at your service -The smartphone has built-in Google Assistant that works seamlessly and
intuitively with LG apps, empowering users to get fast answers, manage everyday
tasks, enjoy the best music and videos and search the G6 more quickly and
efficiently than ever.
3 variants (64 GB) are
available in black, white & platinum priced at 55,000/-.
