Description
While the LG G5 opted for a modular design, the LG G6 has ditched that in favour of a metal and glass sandwich design. The phone boots Android Nougat out of the box with the brand’s UX 6.0, which is specially customised to maximise the advantages of the device’s expansive FullVision display.
The UX 6.0 offers a differentiated experience for viewing content such as videos and web browsing. LG says that the smartly-designed GUI enables opening two perfectly square windows side by side. The device also comes pre-loaded with the Google Assistant, which makes it the first smartphone after the Pixel duo to offer it.
Coming to the other specs, the LG G6 flaunts a 5.7-inch Quad-HD+ FullVision display.
