The phone will come with a new display named FullVision, it’s a 5.7 inch QHD+ display with a resolution of 2880 * 1440. The most appealing feature of the display is its super slim bezels, the thinnest of any LG made phone. The minimal bezels have made it possible for LG to fit a 5.7 inch screen on a body form factor that will have no trouble fitting on the average sized hands. The display comes with a rather unusual 18:9 aspect ratio that Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics Mobile Communication Company, says it is the perfect format for watching cinematic content as recommended by the movie industry.

The front camera is rumored to be 13MP with a 100 degrees wide field of view to make sure all your friends fit in the selfie.

Processor

The best offering from Qualcomm so far is the Snapdragon 835, unfortunately, Samsung has reserved all of these chipsets for the Galaxy S8 and the S8+; this leaves the LG G6 to settle for the Snapdragon 821 but with a whopping 6GB RAM. This chipset is already powering some already released smartphones such as the Xiaomi Mi 5s and 5S Plus as well as the Google Pixel and the Pixel XL. The chipset has been documented to be a powerful option despite having only 4 cores; LG fans should not take it as a deal breaker since it can handle pretty much all applications and games that android has to offer.

Software

Since LG has already launched a phone with the latest android 7.0 nougat, the LG G6 is expected to build up on that development. The G6 is rumored to put a high emphasis on Artificial Intelligence this year through a partnership with Amazon for its Alexa voice assistant. The software will also be made in a way that utilizes the 18:9 screen ratio. This screen ratio makes it possible to have perfect squares during split screen multitasking and camera modes.

Battery

Unlike the LG G5, the G6 will have a non-removable battery. This is a first from LG which has maintained removable batteries since the dawn of android and it will be interesting to see how legacy LG fans will react from the move. Fortunately, there are signs that the G6 will come with wireless charging owing to the fact that LG released a charging pad in October yet none of its devices utilizes it .

Extra features

LG G6 has been confirmed to come with IP68 water and dust resistance by a teaser video released by LG. Additionally, the company will introduce the perfect audio capabilities of the V series line to the G6 through a 32bit Quad DAC chip and tuning by Bang and Olufsen (B&O), and yes, the 3.5mm jack will remain intact unlike the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

Price and Release date

The LG G6 will be announced at February but will be in stores at April as per the rumors. The price has been pegged at 60,000 or $600 which is about the same as LG G5 at the time of its release.
