LG G6

"LG G6 to be first non-Google phone with Google Assistant"

Report says the G6 has a sealed battery, water resistance, Google Assistant.

The non-replaceable battery has simply killed the idea of me going with a future LG phone, unless LG keeps the feature for the V series.

 

I hate it when they release certain features only for certain markets! Wireless charging only for US Customers..... show stopper for me.....

At this day and age, a phone should have wireless charging, water resistance, and a good camera as a minimum.....

 

I'll go with a LG g5 instead of this junk. I need the removable battery.

 

Why not the LG V20? Has a removable battery and is a better phone than the G5 in basically every way.

 

I'll look into it, I still have a S5 and not in a hurry to replace it.

 

The G6 is starting to peak my interest. I'll be upgrading this year and still don't know which android phone to get. I'll probably wait till the S8 is fully reviewed to see if it is a game changer, but you know it will be the most expensive phone out.
I do like the Pixel, but it's damn ugly. Now just waiting to see how the G6 camera does in low light.

 

LG G6 Review - LG's Best Android Smartphone Yet?

 

Looks nice, but I'm a little disappointed in the price and the fact it's 32GB when the S8 is 64GB.

 

Did anyone out there get a G6? If so, how happy/unhappy are you with it?

 

Ditto, I'd like to know also.

I'm still considering the G6. The S8 is tempting because it comes with double the storage and an amoled screen, but while I don't mind touchwiz, I hate the amount of bloatware that Samsungs come with. Should I be concerned the G6 is using a 2 year old camera sensor?

 

I'm personally on a hiatus from Samsung after personally having five hardware problems in twelve months (Note 7 recall, S7 Edge pink-line screen failure, defective wireless charger, flying-off-lid washing machine recall, broken water pump on same washing machine). If I don't hold onto my S7 Edge long-term, it'd be nice to know what non-Samsung 2017 Android flagships are making people happy.

Also, I really hate the fingerprint sensor location on the S8, and I'm kinda over the curved edges too (which both S8s now have). The G6 looks like a much better fit for me on paper.

 

didn't we have enough S8 issues already? Bluetooth issues, screen issues, and my S7 is still on the Feb security patch. Samsung, never again! they forget their older devices with OS updates the moment a new one is released. Not to mention, all Samsung phones suffer from horrible standby time even if you turn off all background data. I experienced it on every Samsung phone I owned since the Note 4 up until my last one which was the S7 and S7 Edge and Note 7

I know it's all about money, but this is so blatantly discriminating. We pay the same or bigger money for the same product, yet getting worse service.

 

I'm not sure I'll upgrade this year after all, but the upcoming V30 sounds nice. I'd really like to see LG stepping up their flagship game with their own OLED panels, and a nice DAC paired with the latest SoC would be welcome too. They really need to make room for a larger battery capacity than last year's V20 though (3200 mAh @5.7" 1440p).
