LG - G6 32GB (Verizon)

I had the LG G2 and loved it. The G6 is very similar, but taller and totally updated and upscaled. Perfectly flat on both sides with curved corners and fully loaded with great features like Google Assistant, HD calling, NFC, OIS, Quick Charge 3, etc. Metal and glass materials make for a beautiful flagship - right up there with the S8 and iPhone. LG software is smooth and fast with no stuttering. Large battery gets me through a full day with moderate use. Fingerprint reader is perfectly placed! Feels and looks great. Confident to use. My wife has the Samsung S8, which has a gorgeous, oversaturated, blazingly bright, curved, Amoled screen, but is overly narrow with a lot of exposed glass. The G6 is only slightly wider, but still fits in the hand and has a nice flat-screen LCD with colors and brightness that are more natural and not as garish. The S8 is beautifully smooth and rounded all over, but it's VERY slippery, so a case is almost mandatory all the time. The G6 has has metal sides with smooth edges, so it's attractive, but more confident to grip. It feels more natural in my hand without a case, which is how I use it at home or in a carpeted office. Both are top-notch phones with great cameras and almost no bezels. But like the S5 and S6 I owned, Samsung is always in your face, downplaying the perfectly fine Google apps and pushing you into their own world of duplicate apps, services and themes - even including a 4th prominently placed button for Bixby, their not-fully-functional version of an assistant. The G6 is upscale but more unassuming. Just 2 buttons on the side, LG gets out of the way and let's you enjoy the experience of a well-rounded, quality, flagship phone. There are no headphones in the box and only a limited number of cases are available, but that's OK. Everything on the phone comes together and works well all the time, so the overall experience feels very complete and satisfying.

I've had the LG g3, g4 and now the g6. I was amazed that a phone with a 5.7 inch screen can feel so compact. The screen aspect ratio took a day to get used to and now it's great for reading and viewing web pages. The g6 has been a great phone.

I bought this when Best Buy had it on sale for $11.99 and I have to say I am thoroughly pleased with this phone! It is FAST and DOES NOT LAG AT ALL. The screen is BEAUTIFUL with VIVID colors and deep blacks and best of all, it is FLAT and not curved on the edges like the S8! The screen is AWESOME utilizing "Dolby Vision" technology. The phone is SO EASY TO HOLD and just feels "right" , at least for me. Very comfortable to hold for long periods watching movies or browsing the net. I did purchase a slim case to put mine in as well for protection in case of an accidental drop. Upon activation, the phone automatically updated and downloaded all my apps from my google account seamlessly! One feature you can activate I especially like is "comfort view" which filters out blue light to go easy on my eyes. Everything is so easy to set up, change or customize on this phone. If you like an app drawer no problem, just go into the settings and add it. LG has a lot of options to set your phone up to your liking and most are not "buried" in a sub menu that takes forever to find either. The battery on this phone lasts me almost two days. But then again I am not a "power user" but I do browse the net, text, check email, twitter etc. throughout the day but not constantly. When I have charged the battery it only takes maybe 2 hours at most? I have not charged it wirelessly yet but it is capable. A lot of reviews praise the dual camera on this phone and it I gotta say, now that I have used the "wide angle" lens, there is no going back! This camera is truly capable of taking some excellent shots especially in manual mode. Mostly I have left it in "auto" mode and generally have been pleased with excellent results. If you are inside in low light for the best results, I would set up your shot in manual mode. But this requires the same most of the time of any camera in a low light situation and most camera phones struggle in these situations. For the most part the G6's camera handles low light pretty well and the focus on this thing is lightning fast! The front camera gets the job done for selfies. I also purchased a 128gb class 10 SD Card for some extra storage as it only has 32gb of internal storage which almost half is already used for the operating system. Which brings me to some cons in my opinion and again these are just my opinions. 32gb of standard internal storage is a tad too low, most flagships do have atleast 64gb standard. Also, LG did away with the "Notification LED" on the phone this year in favor of an "Always on display" to show clock, phone status, notifications, battery etc. That is a useful feature as most phones have this feature but I miss the LED to "instantly" let me know if I have had a missed call or text or just to show me charging status. Simple. The "AOD" shows these things as well but at the same time drains battery life somewhat. You can set it up for the camera led to "flash" so as to alert you to notifications however. LG if you read this, PUT THE FRONT LED BACK in the G7! The G6 also has a headphone jack contrary to the trend manufacturers are taking to do away with one which is a PRO however, the US version of the phone does not have the sound "Quad DAC" that the Korean Version has. Listening through headphones still sounds great but I think LG should have made the QUAD DAC standard with all versions of the phone. Overall, the G6 is an EXCELLENT smartphone and I would buy it again even if it weren't on sale! Buy one and give it a try, you will love it!

Only had the phone a couple hours and the glass that covers the camera broke. I have never ever broke the glass that covers a camera lens before. If you research it there is a common problem with this. I've called Best Buy, Verizon and LG there is nothing any of them will do for you other than charge to fix it. Do not buy one.

So I got the Samsung Galaxy S8+ on launch day, and while I admit, it was a really good phone, this LG G6 had it beat. And I'm a Samsung fan boy to boot, having owned the Note 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and also the S7 Edge... Curious how? Well let me explain... The LG G6 is slim, feels small in the hand, yet has a 5.5 inch screen. The Samsung S8+ has a bigger screen, and a beautiful curve, but honestly, I actually prefer the flat non-curved screen of the G6. The curve of the S8+, while nice, secretly makes me angry, as it distorts movies, games and apps because of the curve. The G6 has excellent battery life, just as good as the S8+, so in this regard they are evenly matched. The G6 only cost me $294 (Verizon special) on device payment plan ($12 month)... The Samsung S8+ cost $864 ($34 month)... Trust me, there is no way the S8+ is worth $570 more than this LG G6... The only thing the S8+ has over this LG G6 is the Samsung Pay, and while I liked that feature, I would say it gives the S8+ a $100 increase in value over the G6, but certainly not a $560 increase. They are both waterproof phones, and they both have wireless charging, and the build quality in both devices are superb, equally matched in my book. That being said, when comparing apples to apples, this LG G6 is the best hidden gem of a phone in the market. Trust me, you will love this G6, and again, that's coming from a Samsung fan boy!

I will admit that I am biased on LG since I switched from a three year old LG G3 that served me well. I did seriously consider the Samsung Galaxy S8. It is a very nice phone and the super Amoled screen is a little better than the LG. But the galaxy just felt strange in my hand, like it was going to slip out at any moment. The G6 feels more solid and allows for a better grip. As far as specs and everything else, I don't need a super computer in my pocket. On a daily basis I use my phone for about five major tasks like phone conferences, listening to music, reading news, twitter, and email. I watch a few YouTube videos a week, listen to audible books, and occasionally shop for stuff. I don't install Facebook on my phone because it is such a resource hog. I just use the web browser. I like the longer screen. Overall I have had no issues with the G6. It does everything I need well. Oh, and did I mention the awesome cameras? Love the wide angle and the square shots. I think in 2017 any flagship Android phone is going satisfy 99% of what anyone needs. You can't go wrong with the G6.

This phone is by far one of the most stable and speedy devices I have ever owned. It takes great photos, has wonderful convenience features, and is very durable. It supports wireless charging too. I have been an owner of Samsung phones for a very long time. This is my first LG and I am beyond impressed. It has many of the same features, many are different, and it comes at almost half the price of a Samsung. Phones are so overpriced now and it's great to get a device that won't break the bank. It holds a charge for a very long time. As of now, I can go 2 days without charging before it dies. If you're looking for a great phone at a great price, look no further.

I bought this phone to replace my HTC. Things I love are the screen size and visual quality. I love the color and design. I was relieve that it didn't come loaded with a ton of apps like my kids Moto. Love the camera. Dislikes: glad it has a headphone port. I don't like its spot on top of the phone. I find it awkward. Also, I miss HTCs front facing speakers. The sound quality is decent enough but it's just something I miss.
