Last week at MWC 2017, LG unveiled its long-rumored and much-anticipated LG G6 flagship smartphone. Here’s what’s coming!
LG hogged up the spotlight at MWC 2017, which began early Sunday morning EST in the city of Barcelona, Spain, when the company took center stage to announce their flagship smartphone for 2017. Although most news out of the South Koran manufacturer was expected, there were some things that surprised us about the LG G6. Some new to LG’s flagship G Series, some new to LG, and some new to the industry. Have a look at what we mean below.
The Google Assistant
Even though Google announced during the tech conference that its AI voice assistant, Google Assistant, would be coming to all Android devices running Marshmallow or Nougat software, we want to make it clear that the technology will come pre-loaded on the LG G6. LG and Google’s relationship goes back many years, and just recently its seems to have gotten more tightly knit. With the LG V20, LG was first to board the Android 7.0 Nougat software, ahead of all other Android device manufacturers. With the LG G6, the Korean company is first to pre-load the Google Assistant on to any smartphone other than Google’s own Pixel, which released in the fall of 2016.
Owners of the new LG G6 won’t have to sit on an update, and will be able to use the Google Assistant straight from the box. The functionality lets users conduct searches, schedule tasks, and compose reminders all via voice. Simply hold on the device’s home button and begin by saying “Okay, Google,” followed by your action or request. You can also say “what can you do,” and Google will respond with interactive tiles showing you just that. Best of all, the technology improves with time and usage in order to better cater to your personal tastes.
Aspect Ratio: 18:9 or 2:1
With the G6, LG is pioneering an unfamiliar aspect ratio when it comes to smartphones and mobile devices. The ratio is 18 by 9, or 18:9, which simplifies to 2 by 1, or 2:1. The display on the LG G6 measures a large 5.74-inches, but its slim and short bezels make it “easy to hold in one hand” according to LG, who put major emphasis on maximizing screen-to-body ratio. The screen is of a QHD+ resolution, which consists of 1440 x 2880 pixels. Notice that I didn’t day 1440 x 2560. That’s because of the handset’s new 18:9 display panel, compared to the now old 16:9 common ratio for smartphones.
LG is calling its new display ‘Full Vision’. The apparent screen resolution does letterbox during videos and while viewing 16:9 photos. However, LG has re-tuned its user interface from the inside out to support the new screen resolution, said to be a future standard in cinema. Despite some of the early drawbacks of 18:9 such as letterboxing and app cropping, LG has used the standard to develop and pioneer new feature-sets that were previously impossible. To get users started out with something, LG is offering all buyers of the G6 smartphone $200 worth of Google Play Games. Six games will be provided for free given the user wants them, of which support LG’s rich and immersive Full Vision 18:9 standard. In announcing the LG G6, the company partnered with the makers of Temple Run in order to demonstrate the display, and will soon offer a deal on game tokens to buyers of the phone, as an added discount.
The LG G6’s display can be broken down into two identically sized squares, one directly on top of the other. LG even went as far to develop new wallpapers to demonstrate this. Not only does the display make more content visible at a time thanks to the added space, but it allows users to multi-task more easily using side-by-side functionality, which now splits the screen into two equal halves. Touches like this have been throughout the interface, which become quite apparent when using the phone for the very first time. We’ll discuss more ways that the LG G6 takes advantage of its screen dimensions when we talk about the handset’s improved camera. But for now, you can hand the trophy over to LG for revolutionizing smartphone display ratios.
Water and Dust Resistance
Next up, water and dust resistance. This feature is pretty self-explanatory. The LG G6 is the first-ever G Series smartphone to come with an IP rating for any water and dust resistance. The LG G6 is rated IP68 and has MIL-STD-810G standards, which should land it among the most durable offerings out there.
Given the added IP68 rating on the LG G6, something had to be sacrificed. In this case, it was LG’s magic slot, which allowed for the removal of the device’s battery. This was an ability LG had preserved for many years, even after all other firms had gotten rid of it. However, what’s important is that LG has finally made the switch, allowing for a more polished, revamped and eco-friendly premium design with added durability. LG even managed to implement new safety precautions to prevent the device and its battery from over-heating (or exploding!). New to any LG phone on the LG G6 is an added heat pipe that’s designed to more easily disperse excess heat generated by internal operations. Along it inside is a sizable air gap, just to make sure everything runs smoothly without any interference. LG has even included a new battery monitor setting, which warns you of potential dangers and keeps track of your battery’s health, running processes and measure of life at all times.
Dolby Vision | HDR 10
Going back to display, the LG G6 has adopted an improved technology to boost image quality, and it’s called Dolby Vision. Have you heard of another smartphone that incorporates the latest of Dolby Vision? You haven’t, because the LG G6 is the very first in the industry that supports the new compliance. Dolby Vision is enhanced dramatic imaging which brings cinema-like experiences right to your smartphone. It contains rich colors, a wide color gamut and high contrast. Colors are true to life and visibility is high enough to see even under direct sunlight. In fact, the LG G6 can also adapt based on its current surroundings in order to present the user with the best visual experience possible.
With Dolby Vision comes HDR 10. This is support for high dynamic range, a technology that’s near the beginning of its life. Over 90% of TV sets lack some kind of HDR support, and just as rare is a smartphone or tablet with this capability. HDR is next generation imaging that brings content to life. Whether it be a UHD video or multi-player online game, HDR provides a visual experience like no other with its crisp quality, color precision and buttery smooth performance. You’ll have to see it in order to believe it.
HDR content remains scarce, but LG has high hopes with its recently added partnership with creators Amazon and Netflix. LG G6 owners will get near-exclusive access to HDR content and be among the very first to experience HDR 10 in all its beautiful glory. We have only positive expectations for here on out.
Camera
LG didn’t take much time to show off its latest camera tech, but we’re here to let you know that although not gone over in detail, there is much to like here other than the fact the app’s icon now has rounded edges. First off, the rear camera features little to no bulge, slimmed down physically from that of which was included on previous LG smartphone models. Despite the phone’s sensor being the same from last year’s G5 and V20 models, the dual rear camera sensors now both feature OIS for stabilized shots and video capturing. Together, the two sensors make a good combo also now being capable of producing shots containing up to 125-degrees, which is a wider span than that the human eyes put together can even see. On the front, LG’s improved selfie camera can stretch up to a whopping 100-degrees, allowing plenty to get in the view of your shot. And with improvements made in collaboration with Qualcomm, the camera on the LG G6 is completely lag free and comes with smooth optical zooming that performs well.
Diving into the G6’s camera software, there are several new modes including four that are new to the industry brought about to take advantage of the 18:9 Full Vision display. LG refers to these modes as ‘camera square features’, and you can activate each of them one at a time by navigating into the camera settings. Snap Shot is the first of the four, which allows users to both take a shot, and view their most previous shot at the same time using two equally sized squares. Match Shot is another great addition and allows users to take two photos using the device’s rear camera and merge the two together in a side-by-side collage. The part that’s especially cool is that both photos can be taken on-screen at the same time.
#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Grid Shot is the third of four camera square features on the LG G6. It allows four shots to be taken, all shown on-screen simultaneously, which can be merged into just one photo. Best of all, you can even make it animate by taking a short video clip in the mix. Last, but certainly not least, is Guide Shot, which is perhaps the funnest of all four new modes. It allows the user to upload an old image from his/her gallery and layer it with an additional photo to be taken on the fly. One can even adjust the transparency on a scale of 1% to 100% to further merge the old and new shots to get the best end result. All four modes are shown in the image gallery above and are demonstrated in LG’s official G6 product video, which can be seen here.
On top of all that we’ve mentioned thus far, LG managed to include a new color temperature tuner, that allows the user to do what its name implies, which is to adjust manually the color temperature ahead of taking each shot. If you’re taking a shot in the old 16:9 resolution, the LG G6 also has a cool gallery viewfinder row near the top that shows several thumbnail previews of recently taken photos on the same screen as the main camera. This allows users to more easily and quickly jump in and out to preview and/or edit his/her most recent captures. As mentioned before, new wide-angle modes are available on the LG G6, and one can even take photos in immersive 18:9 aspect ratio (the full size of the display) of lower quality (up to 1080p video or Full HD).
