News & Reviews:   LG G6

The LG G6, which was announced during MWC, is making its way to most retailers. It is now available for pre-order in the UK on Mobilefun’s website. While it is listed for £699 (about RM3829) unlocked and SIM Free, its status is still “ordered on request” with no mention of a proper release date.

Just as expected, Samsung only showed off a taste of what is to come for their upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone at MWC 2017 with the following teaser video. Clearly stating that the next Samsung unpacked event will be held on 29 March 2017 at www.samsung.com/galaxy, it also revealed that the Galaxy S8 will also have a very high screen to body ratio, perhaps even higher than the 78% of the recently unveiled LG G6. No other tech specs or features were revealed but stay tuned to TechNave.com and we'll keep you updated.

The LG G6 has been officially announced with a 5.7-inch FullVision display with rounded corners in a body normally taken by a 5.2-inch display smartphone. It also packs in dual wide angle rear camera setup somewhat different from the LG V20, capable of recording in 4K video with smooth stabilization and taking square shots so you can take pictures while holding the phone upright. Other new additions to the LG G6 include IP68 water and dust resistance and no more modular parts unlike the previous LG G5. We don't expect the LG G6 to arrive in Malaysia any time soon though but there wasn't any pricing or release date information revealed either.

While LG continues to give us some sneak peeks of what the G6 is capable of, we got a new image has been leaked in Weibo and it was paired up against the G5, the only question is - does this image look legit?

With MWC happening in less than a week, everyone’s jumping on the hype train now and LG is one of them that had been releasing little teasers for their upcoming LG G6 on various channels. This time round, we got several clips from their YouTube channel, focusing on the device’s key features.

Of all the smartphone manufacturers, LG is probably the only one who’s not shying away about their upcoming device for MWC 2017. For the past few weeks, they have been feeding us bits of information about the LG G6, with the latest blog post talking about the cameras.

Once again, a couple more new images of the LG G6 leaked ahead of MWC. This time, they are live images showing something new, the phone is turned on and showcasing its Always-On Display, which shows the time, date, battery percentage at all times.

For a change, the phone isn’t the black variety, we could clearly see the minimal bezels on its side and top. The bottom bezel is slightly larger though, and features a simple LG branding in the middle. The rounded corners of the screen are a pleasant change from the usual square cut bezels, giving the phone a better uniformed look to go along with its rounded corners.

With MWC2017 drawing closer, yet another teaser for the upcoming LG G6 surfaced. The most recent teaser had a blue hue, with the words, “Resist More. Under Pressure.” With the blue hue and its accompanying caption, it’s hard to ignore the fact this is a teaser for possible water resistance capabilities of the LG G6 as it had often been rumoured that it’ll have IP68 certification.

It had also been revealed that the LG G6 will ship with a battery capacity of more than 3200 mAh, one of the biggest batteries ever to ship with the LG G-series.

A photo, allegedly that of the final retail model of the LG G6 leaked online recently. The back of the phone had an obvious "G6" label, and features a shiny black back, indicating possibly a glass build, or even a Jet Black finish. The rear fingerprint scanner and dual-camera setup looks strikingly similar to the ones seen on the LG V20 as well as last year's LG G5.

We have talked about the upcoming LG G6 here, especially the news that it is going to use a new display ratio of 18:9, or 2:1 if you are inclined that way. Now we have a sneak peek of the LG G6, and it looks like a pretty little thing.
