Pros

- 2016’s Snapdragon 821 chipset
Bottom Line
The LG G6 may have the 2016’s Snapdragon 821 chipset, but it still performs solidly when compared to the competitors, and its larger display and water-resistant design are definitely notable features.
The LG G6 smartphone has received positive reviews for its great display and its conveniently placed fingerprint scanner. The camera, when used in day light or strong indoor light, is said to be great, along with the extra wide-angle shots it is capable of taking. The IP68 water and dust resistant is also an upgrade from older models. However, the camera’s image quality takes a slight hit in low-light. It also does not have a removable battery and it does perform exceptionally well with day to day tasks with the year old Snapdragon 821 chipset. While the LG G6’s chipset may not compete with other flagship smartphones, it still offers a top notch performance and the 18:9 display really is vivid and beautiful.

TechRadar April 27, 2017
The G6 is a great phone from LG, one that pushes the brand back to the forefront of the smartphone pile in terms of design and screen. However, some odd choices to go with lower-spec performance and not upgrade the camera in a meaningful way while still charging a huge premium make this a tough sell.

The G6 is a phone LG needs. Whether it has any chance of beating the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 (or upcoming iPhone 8) remains to be seen, but with the G6 LG has finally made a good-looking phone free of gimmicks.
