The LG G6 is no doubt a striking smartphone. Metal and glass shimmer while the huge 18:9 screen is impressively brought to life with the improved software and its rounded corner design.

The LG G6 is the best phone yet from a company that's kept innovating year after year. While its 18:9 HDR display might not be the biggest leap it's taken, the landing at the G6 is the best yet.

Excellent battery life; top build quality; screen crack resistance; very capable cameras

Third-party apps need screen ratio optimisation; 18:9 camera shots are at lower resolution

The subtle curve of the corners, the ample performance, the way it just feels right in your hand. The G6 is a reminder that LG can make great smartphones when it isn't trying to make them modular.

The LG G6 is a beautiful handset that isbuilt with purpose: battery life, simplicity, beauty, durability, and reliability. LG has largely succeeded in achieving these goals into a solid handset that leads the way for a 2017 transition from 16:9 to 18:9 (2:1) display aspect ratio.

Large display in a reasonably sized chassis; Stunning and unique wide camera shots; Designed for life with water-resistance and shock awareness

Very good camera; but S7 and Pixel are ahead; Available feature set is different per region

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

Budget, mid-range, flagship smartphones… there are plenty of smartphone options out there these days. We've reviewed a number of LG smartphones in the past and our LG G6 review takes a look at one of the company's latest to see how it stands up to previous models.

A few uninstallable pre-installed apps; Not a lot of HDR content currently available

I've gone through some phases with my smartphones. I switched over to Android with the HTC Hero. It was then a succession of HTC handsets before I switched to a Samsung Galaxy device, but since then I've been firmly glued to an LG device.

The first G-branded phone was the LG G2 released in 2013. It wasn't until the LG G4 and the awesome leather back appeared that I seriously considered carrying one as my daily driver.

Large display in compact form factor; Outstanding camera performance; Water; dust; and shock resistant; Wireless charging; microSD expansion card slot; Solid battery life; Low price for a flagship phone

Fingerprints on back glass

overall the phone is excellent. The battery seems to last all day, even with constant usage. The camera meets my needs. This is my first LG phone after considering the Samsung G7. Happy with the purchase.

I bought this phone a few weeks ago and have been pleased ever since. This phone comes with everything I was looking for and more. I finally have plenty of storage for all my apps, files, and pictures which is amazing since I was always running into storage issues with my other phones.
