After the ill-fated modular excesses of 2016, LG has found its head in 2017, and the LG G6 is all the better for it. Owners of the G5 may be left frustrated that the vision of interchangeable accessories and growing functionality they were promised has failed to pan out, but the rest of us are...

18:9 display makes the G6 easy to hold; Great camera performance; Wide-angle camera is useful and unusual

Design is sober; bordering on boring; No Quad DAC or 64GB option on US G6; Most streaming video is still 16:9

Overall, the versatility of the LG G6 is unquestioned. This is a phablet, that feels like a standard phone. It has a set of cameras that adapts to your surroundings like no other dual-camera combo in the market. Best of all, it sports a design that will turn heads no matter where you go.

Outstanding build quality; Great design: It's a phablet that feels like a regular phone; Optimized for one handed use; Best dual-camera setup; Great photos; Good audio performance through headphones; IP68 water and dust resistant; Powerful performer

Third-party software needs to scale up to 18:9; Needs improved "one-handed" software approach; Lacks stereo speakers; Regular battery life; Stick to Platinum color; Black variant is a fingerprint magnet; Wireless charging can be slow

LG has released their sixth iteration of the G series (which originally started out as the "Optimus G"), and it might be the best one yet. Where each LG G series smartphone has come with some sort of gimmick included, whether it was modularity, a removable leather back, a Quad HD display, or tiny...

Glass Back Scratches Easily; Wireless Charging in US Only; Only 32GB Storage in most markets; No Quad DAC in most markets

Remember LG's last flagship phone ? Most people probably don't, since the G5 was more or less a disaster. The G5 was a modular phone with modules that weren't really compelling; the "metal" body had a thick plastic coating on the outside; and the device had tons of build quality issues, like seams...

A beautiful design; Slim bezels let LG pack a big screen into a tiny body, Always-on Google Assistant voice command, Monthly Android security updates (depending on carrier)

Slow major OS updates; LG is already launching with an old version of Android, and you should expect to perpetually be one to two updates behind the latest release of Android; There's no telling how long LG will support this device with major updates, as previously the company has tried to abandon...

There's no faster, better way to subtly insult a kid than by giving him a participation award. "Congratulations," it says, "you at least showed up, but you didn't do well enough to win any important trophies.

Beautiful; huge screen; Attractive design; Good performance

LG's software design; Small power button is fiddly; Cameras are only acceptable

The LG G6 represents the refinement of ideas drawn from the company's previous flagships. You have the dual-camera setup from the G5 and V20, but with both sensors being of equal resolution. You have a large, gorgeous screen that's possible to use with one hand.

Excellent one-handed form factor; Sturdy build; Useful dual rear cameras; Crisp HDR screen; Waterproof; SD card slot

Processor lags behind upcoming flagships; Screen could be brighter; Odd aspect ratio; No removable battery

The G6 is a well-designed phone with a fantastic screen and camera, but it's going to have a hard time fending off Samsung's Galaxy S8.

Excellent compact design; Incredible HDR-compatible screen with unique proportions; Excellent app enhances an already great camera

Battery and processor are just OK for a 2017 phone; Some design quirks stand out

Take the LG G5, for example. While the clever modular smartphone was our favourite phone of the year with the help of its B&O-tuned Hi-Fi+ DAC, it failed to compete with the

Sharp; bright screen with HDR support; Decent and fun cameras; Good battery life; Fast performance

Screen lacks content to make the most of it; Audio needs to be better balanced and more dynamic

So, when can you actually buy this phone? We're not quite sure yet. LG hasn't revealed all the pricing and availability details as of yet, but we do know it's coming to the U.S. sometime this Spring. March 10 is when the handset is coming to Korea , and the current U.S.

Glass/metal build is great Excellent camera quality Wireless charging on the US model Solid; smooth performance Impressive battery life 18:9 screen is fantastic Thin bezels IP68 dust and water resistance MicroSD card expansion as standard

Speaker is weak Only one storage option for most regions Non-removable battery; unlike previous LG phones Glass attracts fingerprints and dust

The G6 is a pretty special design, LG was the first big manufacturer (just beating Samsung) to adopt the large screen, small bezel aesthetic, squeezing a 5.7-inch display into a phone which measures 148.9 x 71.9mm.
