    Not quite 4k resolution. Does it suffer from the usual LG bootloop issues?

    • albert0pia on 14/06/2017 - 09:37

      Too early to tell I presume.

      • Click_It on 14/06/2017 - 13:21

        Pretty sure I read somewhere that LG are using a glue on the motherboard of the G6 as opposed to the solder used on the earlier bootloop-prone phones, since bootlooping was caused from the solder failing due to temperature fluctuations.

        I have a V20 which supposedly still uses solder so we'll see if I suffer bootloops in a years time.

        I bought LG as more-or-less a stop gap until the Samsung Note 8 arrives, my old phone died prematurely. But now I've grown to love this phone and don't think I'll bother with Samsung anytime soon. Sure the Note 8 will be in a league of its own but LG has been a pleasant surprise in price/performance/features. Perhaps the battery will be a weak link over time but I still get 1 day comfortably so far (new phone, new battery).

        I do like the G6 but noticed it lacks the second screen of the V series which I've quickly become hooked on. Next phone will probably be the V30 for me.

      Don't forget the shit battery life. My G4 had the shitty battery life as well as the bootloop issue. After a replacement board and battery, I still couldn't get a full days use out of it.

      • theguyrules on 14/06/2017 - 11:45

        My G4 had awesome battery life.

        • BlitzR on 14/06/2017 - 11:51

          Mine was shocking. Even restoring it to the factory firmware and minimal apps installed id be lucky to get 6hrs use out of it without having to plug it into a battery backup.

    …and a powerful 3300mAh battery.

  • edshays on 14/06/2017 - 09:37

    1440x2880 isn't 4K. Not sure why LG are putting 'True 4K' in the marketing.

    I just bought the OnePlus 3T for the same price. I personally feel it's better bang for buck. Unless you want the oversized screen of the LG, I'd prefer 5.5" Super AMOLED over the screen on the IPS on this. I also feel anything over 1080p on a phone is overkill and the only thing you get from it is greater load on battery and CPU/GPU.

    • albert0pia on 14/06/2017 - 09:39

      What I don't get is why display resolutions increase yearly but battery capacities stay the same.

      • nmachine on 14/06/2017 - 09:41
        +4

        Because people (or at least companies feel that people) don't want thicker phones to accommodate bigger batteries.

      • psdillon on 14/06/2017 - 09:54
        +9

        If they make a thicker phone, the press reacts badly and tells everyone it's ugly, as they did for the iPhone smart battery case.

        Don't get me started on glass back panels, which people immediately cover with a thick case…

        • Butt Scratcher on 14/06/2017 - 11:18
          +3

          I'm not too sure about the bad reaction thing. Samsung made their phone thicker moving from s6 to s7 for a larger battery and they were praised for it. More manufacturers should follow suit, but it doesn't seem to be the case. For a long time slimming down the phone was like a contest between manufacturers, but phones have become thin enough dammnit.

          As for the glass panel, since lg and samsung want wireless charging it's either that or a plastic cover. My vote is on a removable plastic cover since I keep my phone for 2+ years, but unfortunately I don't think that's ever happening

      • RedHab on 14/06/2017 - 11:31
        +6

        Perhaps I'm a minority, but I want a smaller phone with decent specs. I don't want a 5.5" fondleslab. 4 to 4.5" screen is the best fit for my pocket. If I'm doing serious web/app use I'll use a tablet or laptop.

        The iPhone 5, Sony Z3 and Z5 Compacts were the ideal size for me, with smallish screens and powerful innards.

        • dexx on 14/06/2017 - 15:06
          +3

          A good thing about the G6 is its physically small given its screen size. 149x72mm is smaller than many phones with a 5" screen! The OnePlus 3T has a smaller screen but bigger body.

          Now if only they'd bring out a phone with a 5" 1080p screen and a 135x70 body.

        • crentist on 17/06/2017 - 15:50

          this is exactly why i went from a z3 compact to iphone se. wanted to stick with android, but theres no other phone on the market with good specs in a small size.

      • syme321 on 14/06/2017 - 12:54

        Samsung tried to squeeze more out of their batteries with the S7 Note :)

          There are several 'Bands' in the 700MHz range.
          Band 12, 13, 17 and 29 are all 700 MHz LTE Bands. Our specific LTE Band in Australia in the 700MHz range is Band 28.

        • PVA on 14/06/2017 - 18:51

        Not sure why you're downvoted, the lack of band 28 on the OnePlus 3T is it's biggest negative to the Aussie market, otherwise an excellent phone!

          probably because people misunderstood that my comment was in response to the OnePlus 3T comment and not the LG G6 phone

      Hope they've fixed it as you noted. I've also experienced the bootloop issue with G3 as well as with G4. So personally, I've distanced myself from LG phones for the moment. I managed to somehow get the G3 working buy swapping the battery. the latest G6 a has non-removable battery, which would not enable easy workarounds as with removable/ replaceable batteries. Only option would be to rely on an Manufacturer Warranty or a phone technician.

    Warning: DWI may not ship the item, they will say in stock and ready to ship in a few days but after couple of weeks you will get an email saying the item is not stock and you can swap it for something else or we issue a refund. It will then take another week or so to get your refund. Total waste of time and energy.

      I've purchased two phones, six expensive lenses and two camera bodies from DWI and have never had an issue. Though that was a couple of years ago so things may be different now.

      Maybe they just had a real supply issue with your order (?).

      • nadan on 14/06/2017 - 10:50

          @clse945111: The G5 was still in the $450+ dollar range last time I looked. There is a floor and this is getting close to it. More importantly though, why do you care if your phone's retail price drops? Does it affect your phone at all?

          Why does it not matter?
          If I'm not in urgent need of an upgrade I'd rather pay $400 next month than $500 this month. It hasn't hit the floor yet, so the price will likely to drop further in the near future.

        • macrocephalic on 14/06/2017 - 15:51

          @clse945111: Sure, waiting is a factor, but there's no reason to be concerned if the phone you bought decreases in retail pricing (which is what I thought you were talking about).

    • macrocephalic on 14/06/2017 - 11:14

      Resale value is not even something I would consider on the phone. They have such short lives; you buy them, you use them, in a couple of years they break and you get rid of them and buy a new one.

          ah thanks. Extract from Google…

          When we discussed with the Korean team that worked on the LG G6, they pointed out that Snapdragon 821 has been around long enough that software is extremely stable and very optimized. Using Snapdragon 835 would require some “ramp up” time, and in the end, LG deemed that 821 was the platform that resonated most with the LG G6 theme of reliability and value because engineers (from both Qualcomm and LG )had time to optimize all aspects of the phone.

          While Snapdragon 835 would provide a performance boost thanks to a more powerful hardware, Snapdragon 821 is now used close to its full potential. Like any other processor, it will take some time for engineers to fully exploit the new chip. If you look at game consoles, code optimizations keep coming, even years after their original release.

          Even though there are Snapdragon 821 optimizations, we still expect a Snapdragon 835 handset to outperform a Snapdragon 821 in benchmarks – by how much remains to be seen, and we will soon have an answer… For LG G6 lovers who wanted “the best” of everything, there’s a dilemma because we expect Snapdragon 835 to do particularly well in benchmarks.
          For those who don’t use heavy apps or play 3D games, the difference won’t be as noticeable. Maybe there is a lost opportunity to connect to more advanced LTE networks that Snapdragon 835 has access to, thanks to its more advanced modem. However, those networks are not yet deployed for the majority of potential customers.

          @hpkv:
          I think battery consumption might be the biggest difference. The G6 has a bigger 3300mah battery but has shorter battery life than the U11 that has a 3000mah battery.

Is the screen protector as good(in terms on easy to clean and glides smoothly when touched) as the glass one(say from Nillkin or Spigen).

    Don't all phones have a DAC? Otherwise they wouldn't be able to produce sound.

    Now I feel less shitty for not buying the V20. Has anyone read how the auto mode camera fare against the V20? V20's auto mode performs like a mid range phone.

      With the V20, you can just use manual mode and leave everything on auto. Works fine.

        I was referring to image quality taken with auto mode not the auto mode interface.

        Have looked up some comparison video on YTube and G6's camera still seems to be half a step behind Pixel, S8 & iPhone 7.

          then if you would shell out $1k for a slightly better camera, then those phone would make you happy!.
          For us, a V20 at <$500 is best value for money!

          @revivor: Wake up mate, I didn't say this deal is bad or I would shell out double the money. If that's the case I would have bought an S8 & call it a day.

          <$500 phones don't automatically mean mediocre camera. Eg. Great camera on Nexus 5x, Nexus 6P, LG G4. LG has made some questionable choices in sensor chioce & post image processing in the last few years. Hopefully that would change come the V30 or G7.

          So was I?

          Auto mode quality is known to be awful. I'm letting you know you can use it in manual mode which does less image post processing, and you can still have everything (white balance, focus, ISO, shutter speed) on auto.

          I haven't touched actual auto mode on my V20 and the camera has been great so far.
