For now, LG's modular plans are on hold. This was one of the major takeaways when the South Korean manufacturer debuted the LG G6 at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year.

Well constructed with premium finish and feel; Great battery life; Solid multitasking

Power button placement odd at times; Camera a tad off now and then

Well, I did it. I finally (after 1.5 years), updated from my Nexus 6P and decided on the LG G6 because it's a very good deal for the price. Love the smaller sized phone and that I can charge wirelessly again!

Great size; Love the display; Really good fingerprint scanner experience (so far; Wireless charging capabilities

Scratches easily

The number 5 seems to be quite problematic for the Koreans. Samsung faced some of the worst reviews ever for a flagship product and one of the worst sales performance in their flagship Galaxy S line-up with the S5.

Surprisingly Small and Ergonomic Design; Great Build Quality and Durability; Water and Dust Proof; Beautiful Display with Unique 18:9 Aspect Ratio; Great Video Stabilization; Good Quality Camera; Great Audio Output

No 2.5D Curved Glass; Excessive Noise Reduction for Still Photos; Not Great Battery Life

When it comes to premium smartphones, LG is not the brand that easily makes it to the top of the list. The company's latest flagship smartphone ‘G6' tries to change that as it competes with the likes of Samsung Galaxy S8, Google Pixel and Apple's iPhone 7 among others.

Big changes for LG this year but these are changes that made sense and pointing to a more concrete identity. They've been experimenting for the last three years and this time, we think they've got it right. We hope they stick to this philosophy and improve on them moving forward. Nothing fancy.

* Beautiful design; * Gorgeous display; * Great performance; * Water-resistance; * Quad HiFi DAC; * Great battery life; * Very nice dual camera setup

* No wireless charging for PH units; * More expensive than before

The G6 is LG's attempt after the modular G5 was considered a flop. If you recall, the G5 involved pulling apart sections of the phone to add other components like a camera attachment, hifi, battery etc. While the company were doing things differently, it appears the market wasn't ready for it.

It's hard not to feel just a little bad for the LG G6 , going up against the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ ( Review ). There was a brief window of time following the G6's launch announcement at MWC 2017 when it did get a bit of attention, but even then, everyone was more focused on Galaxy S8...

To say that I was less than enamoured with the LG G6 I reviewed a month or so ago is an understatement. I thought the design was near-perfect, so much so that I feel the 18:9 ratio phone is the way of the future, how all phones from here on should be made.

Actually launched earlier than the Galaxy S8, globally, the LG G6 has been often criticised of its last year's processor and the fact that the Galaxy S8 is probably the best smartphone right now. But all is not true. Know here why?

Compact Design; Sturdy Build Quality; Wide Angle Rear Camera; Decent Battery Life

Aesthetics could have been better; LG UI 6.0 is heavy

It's not the oddity that LG's past flagships have been, and it's arguably all the better for fitting in, but it also might struggle to stand out. For all the G5's flaws its modular design gave it something few phones could rival, with the G6 you're left with a competent – even compelling – handset,...

+ Great screen; + Polished design; + Dual-lens camera

- Dated processor; - Lacks innovation; - Low light photos could be better
