LG G6 presented: waterproof flagship smartphone with dual camera
In advance, LG presented the new LG G6 at MWC 2017 in Barcelona. After the not so popular predecessor LG G5, the group now wants to take off again. Interesting features are the dual camera, the water resistance and the metal housing.
The predecessor LG G5 was the first smartphone with modules on the market. However, since this concept did not work very well, LG would like to convince with the successor. The interesting thing about the LG G6: the display in 18: 9 format and the narrow bezel.
Technical details
The LG G6 has a 5,7-inch QHD + display in 18: 9 format with a resolution of 2880 x 1440 pixels. The interesting thing: despite 5,7 inches, the smartphone is in a 5,2 inch housing. That means: the edge turned out to be quite narrow. It is also the first smartphone that supports HRD10 and thus DolbyVision. This ensures that the content is displayed on the display with even more contrast and color. The dual cameras on the back have a resolution of 13 megapixels. One of the camera wide-angle photos with an 82 degree radius. The front camera shoots selfies with 5 megapixels and offers a radius of 100 degrees. Both cameras also support OIS and EIS for image stabilization.
Prices and availability
There is currently no information on price and availability. However, the available colors are known. The LG G6 appears in the colors "Mystic White", "Astro Black" and "Ice Platinum" - also white, black and gray.
