Easily lasts me the whole day, although the drain can be variable even with seemingly the same usage pattern. But even under the worst scenario I am left at the end of a day with 30-40% left. So I charge every night-- what else can you ask for?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] andrstein:
I'm easily getting 7:30am to 9pm with light to moderate use throughout the day and have 30% left.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] fegitoli:
With my daily moderate-to-heavy usage, I'm consistently getting at least 4-5 hours SoT with always-on display enabled and my brightness around 50%. Gets me through the day just fine. I usually get home with 20-30% remaining. If I use my device lightly, I could probably get at least 5-6 hours SoT.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] fegitoli:
I made it to 6hrs SoT today. I had music playing from Spotify in the background the entire day.

This phone looks and feels extremely premium. I love my phone and I've been loyal to LG even reluctantly. They a did a great job this time around

[LG G6 Real Life Review] austin1030:
I said this is one of kind of phone especially the large screen. However, I hate LG made full screen but didn't allow user to hide the navigation and expand apps to take advantage of large screen size. So, what is the point having a large screen while you lose the bottom of the screen to the navigation? I set all app the use 18:6 ratio but does not work as I expected. I love it but hate it.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rubiicon59:
If you did a bit of reading you'd learn most apps aren't yet optimised for the 18:9 display. Quit whinging and enjoy your new phone :good:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
I personally like having the Nav bar always there
[LG G6 Real Life Review] shaun0207:
I love the look G6. Its amazing
[LG G6 Real Life Review] lanhikari3113:
Yeah I often take it out of the case at home because it just looks so damn beautiful. I love the way it is cut and just how tall the screen is. I do admit. I am used to wider screens but since having this phone I find I prefer this tall screen think phone look and feel.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jacked Burton:
I dig it. Can't wait for the new phone feel to wear off, so I can wear it without the case. Kinda wanting to hear about any screen cracking problems (or lack their of)too.

Got the silver one. I think it looks just as good, compared to pictures.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
I love the black one (which is what I have), like less the white one and hate the platinum one... Sorry but a small bezel phone with such good black levels is ruined with a non-black bezel imo!

I love the effect of the screen being invisible when it's off/showing solid black!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] coyot352:
Fortunately there is the choice, because for my part I love the ice platinium, the white a little less but it still happens ..

But the black I do not like at all, it spoils all the curves of the phone and this glossy aspect really gives me a feeling cheap ^^

A color that would give me a lot more: Bordeaux red (I do not know if it means something in English, more simply wine color) with the same brushed metal effect as Platinum :silly:

[LG G6 Real Life Review] maruichan:
The phone I ordered is the Ice Platinum.

The phone itself feels wonderful in the hand. I particularly love the bevel work along the sides of the phone. Everything feels very well polished.

The camera and finger print sensor are in a good place. The button feels very sturdy. No unusual clicking or hitching. Feels like it will stand years of use quite fine.

I am not sure what the back is made of. It's possible it's like the black and is made of glass due to the wireless charging. Either way, it feels very smooth to the touch. Doesn't have a metal texture at all, it feels like smooth glass. Everything on the phone is smooth for the most part except for where the bevels are. They have a bit of a polish though. The non-recessed finger print sensor and camera feel premium.

This is honestly one of the most well constructed phones I've ever owned. Look up G6 tear down on Youtube... they open up the phone and you can see the materials and they also scratch at the back to reveal the glass construction. It takes a beating.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
I ordered the black (as always due to it matching everything and working well with cases that you can still see parts of the phone body (all cases pretty much... at least the top) and it feels perfect. Of course I put it in a case immediately and refused to use it until my case was on due to liking a thicker phone for holding purposes, but it feels natural just as my LG G2 that I am coming from.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] jakeyo:
I've had mine for 2 days now and coming from an iPhone the visual appeal of the phone is what made me switch over, along with the themes etc. As a first time Android user the go-to phone is usually a Samsung but I'm glad I got this device. I have to take extra care for now as I'm waiting for my phone case and tempered glass to come in the mail. This phone has a premium feel and I am happy
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Vicious Von:
You coming from Apple and not picking Samsung is huge. Seems like you have an objective POV and I think this was a good choice for your first time. You'll learn that there are other manufacturers other than Samsung that can deliver but if you're looking for something that can be a culmination I believe LG is the way to go.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] dedovec:
I dropped mine from one meter high on the concrete. The metal frame has marks on upper right and lower right corners, no sign of damage at the front and the back of the phone. MIL- STD is a must have.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] AnAndroidGuy:
Had mine since August (original had some possible defects). AT&T replaced it for free and this thing is absolutely amazing.

The build quality of it is incredible. I love the way the metal (Aluminum?) bezel feels. It's smooth and doesn't scrape my hand, the glass back has a nice, slight curve, doesn't crack easy, and is quite durable. The screen is great, especially how the way it matches exactly with the edge of the bezel.

That's all I have to say for now on the build quality, but I'll update this post with information later.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] devaa01:
It has fallen from my hands couple of times, no cracks, no bumbs, and in the hands it feels amazing.. Quality feel for me is at highest range. ?

SIM card tray HS

Hello,

Sorry for my english...

I bought a new micro-sd card.

SIM and microSD drawer didn't want to pull out easily.

After having extracted the tray, to use it, I realized that it was broken. So I can't put it back on or use the phone.:confused:

I contacted the LG support, which tells me that this is not covered by the warranty, and it gives me an address to send for repair.

The repair estimate just returned... 270.40 €!!!!!!!! :eek:

They're changing the motherboard and the case !

I'm really angry with LG.

a piece of advice, don't use this drawer too often.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] devaa01:
Why didnt you asked them first the costs of repair ? I never repair the phone before they tell me how much will it cost. And why didnt you try to get that drawer on ebay or something ? Lol :S
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Bleudovergne:
because I didn't have a choice, LG said no guarantee, here's the address or send your smartphone... Address where I had already sent my G4 (botloop).

Then, of course I tried, without dismantling, to remove this piece of plastic.... too stuck in the bottom...

Problem is, they disassembled the smartphone... what do I get? any pieces?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] madjester67:
Yeah I was told 2500 baht (that's about 50 English pounds) to open phone,then could be up to 200 pounds to repair depending if motherboard needs fixed,its a disgrace its not under warranty
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Percy247:
Are you able to get the small piece of plastic out of the drawer that has snapped off? If you can then you can by replacement sim/sd tray on eBay for 10-15 Euro. Good luck.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Deadman26:
A few weeks back I dropped my phone while riding my bike and after that a car went on it and it survived... I had a basic case on it... The phone's general built quality is dam good in my opinion...

[LG G6 Real Life Review] maruichan:
Fits in the hand like a glove. Can't complain. I'm a small woman (5'0") but I have long fingers. I can pretty much one hand most of the screen. The finger print sensor is in a great spot too and with the screen being longer, it's harder to cover the camera when holding it (except when in landscape)

It is a little slippery for one hand when taking pictures though. Of course if you get a case, that's easily solved.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] hero4eva:
Coming from a note 5 this phone feels prefect. No more needing to stretch the fingers
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
PERFECT in every way. And the fingerprint, OMG. It works SO FAST!!! Like literally immediate reading with no errors yet. If you input your fingerprint properly there is never and issue and the fact that I can just pick up my phone and use it while others cannot... AMAZING! I do have extra lock screens set (of course) in case I'm sleep and someone wants to touch my finger to the back of my phone (use common sense people) but to just open and make calls, perfect.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] dcjose48:
I'm loving how this phone feels in the hand compared to how that s7edge felt. The s7edge was a good phone, I loved the screen but the palm rejection kept bugging me. With the G6, that no longer is an issue at all. The phone feels nice and sturdy in the hand and I don't feel like I have to baby the phone. Having said that though, I still got a spigen carbon fiber case for it!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] harveysIO:
My previous phone was an S7 Edge, which felt like a piece of jewelry. It constantly slipped around and generally didn't have stability (particularly for one hand operation). After a couple days of use, I have no complaints and really like the LG G6 so far.

My biggest nag: for users of the Twilight app (or similar), you cannot dim/red-shift the soft buttons (i.e. back, home, app switch).

[LG G6 Real Life Review] maruichan:
At first glance, I wasn't a fan of the LG aesthetic. Actually I prefer the non-app draw setup. I like that everything is accessible through screens. I may actually take advantage of folders this time...

The Settings area looks closer to stock. There's not a whole ton of bloat. It's much better than Samsung bloat, that's for sure. There are definitely LG features shipped with it and for the most part they are useful. For the most part, the OS doesn't fill like it is being overwhelmed by branding. The LG stuff is out of the way for most major functions.

Some of my favorite LG features...

The double tap to unlock the screen is my favorite feature by far.

"Comfort View" will be good to use for when I'm not able to sleep and am reading articles. It basically is like the f.lux app for PC. It removes blue light (makes color temperature much warmer) and this is highly customizable. So if you are already staring at screens all the time and just need something more pleasant on the eyes, you can turn this on and off easily in the notification menu.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Jiia:
I've never used the LG skin before and I'm happy to say it's alright. I wish it used the new Nougat style compact settings menu but unfortunately it's as cluttered as previous generation phones.

The biggest issue I have is the theme support. ALL of the downloadable skins are horrible. There are absolutely no modern or stylish skins. They all are the kind of skins you would install on a kid's phone.

The only usable skins are the default ones (default, platinum, black, white). Even they are annoying because all but the default one put your app icons inside ugly black boxes that make it harder to differentiate the icons.

Other issue is the "app scaling button" that appears in the notification drawer and stands on top of your keyboard if you try to use quick reply.

Other than that the skin and software are great and I've been very happy with the experience! :)

[LG G6 Real Life Review] gatsu_1981:
Never been a fan of ANY custom (OEM) skin.

True, there are not a lot of themes, but I think that's an issue with the 18:9 aspect ratio too.

So, hating the LG interface, I just bought Pixel UX theme on play store : so far so good.

I used only cyanogenmod / lineageos on my LG G2/G3/G4, so could't keep the stock LG theme on my new LG G6.

Some Gripes

I just received my new LG G6 today, and I've been testing things all day.

So far I found 2 issues:

1. No flashlight widget or application. You can only access the flashlight through the notifications bar but it's a 2 step process. You have to slide down the notifications bar then open the drop down to get to the flashlight. Ideally, a flashlight should be easily accessible. Most times people use a flashlight is when they really need it or in an emergency - spur of the moment circumstances. It would be convenient to have this on the home screen or at least have the option.

I read some articles saying that there is a "torch" or flashlight widget but there is none to be found. I have no idea what these people are talking about. They right 2 pages about the LG G6 torch widget... I'm guessing they don't even own a G6? And, they assumed it was just like its predecessor?

2. Shortcut icons on the lock screen. I have no idea why there are even settings for this or why this is even a feature. First of all, you cannot access the lock screen shortcuts because of fingerprint security or password lock security. Once you unlock your screen, you will enter the home screen rendering the lock screen shortcuts useless. I wanted to remove all of the shortcuts but 2 of them are stuck there and cannot be removed.

These 2 very simple things annoy the hell out of me.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Ali Mirza:
For the Torch light, drag down the notifications tray and you can add "Flashlight".

Also from the Play Store, download "Key Plus for LG" you can modify key down or key up buttons, normally double press key down would access to the camera, so you can modify key up to "Toggle Flashlight" It works when the screen is off.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] MDW 100:
Software is... ok, but I can't help feeling that more people would be pleased if it looked a lot more like stock android, similar to HTC. Could be a hell of a lot smoother considering it has the same processor as the pixel, just higher clocked.

Well i have used the phone in direct sunlight and cant really say anything bad about it is readable so tha i can take calls, read texts but i wouldn't go out and start watching a video since when i say direct sunlight its like 90+°F lol but if i sit in a sunlight area with a bit of wind then yes phone is plenty bright enought for me to watch content on and enjoy it

It's pretty amazing to me that nobody other than Samsung has figured out oled for mobile screens. You know lg has been working on it for years, but for some reason they just can't mass produce it. Samsung has it mastered.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] hecksagon:
Actually LG isn't really starting to dabble in small OLED until next year.

As far as screen quality goes I saw a review stating measured 557 nits, as bright as the iPhone 7. Color accuracy was better than the iPhone and S7. Gamut was a little disappointing with 136% sRGB vs 197% for the S7. All in all a great display, probably the best LCD ever put in a phone.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] CryztalBT:
Mastered? Lol... Reddit is full of people complaining about burned in screens on their S8 after just a few days.

ComputerBase (Germany) even measured 624nits:

Definitely bright enough.

Probably a weird question, but how is this phone when using with polarised sunglasses?

My Z2 turns to black in some angles in portrait mode and completely black in horizontal.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] Honest9:
I will have pretty good comparison. HTC 10 was having highest ppi and regarded as the best lCD display. However outdoor visibility was extremely bad. I am not sure but I think it is a characteristics of LCD display . One thing I notice that even for camera HTC 10 was relying on display. Whenever I was opening camera app the screen was automatically turning 100% bright and then comeback to normal after closing the app. It happen with third party camera app as well. I will report once I get G6.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] myabc:
my experience: under sunlight (outdoor) in automatic brightness it is very difficult to see..... the always on display is completely invisible!!!!

wrong buy for me this g6
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Honest9:
Don't use auto brightness. Auto brightness is buggy in most devices. Try to do it manually.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] _jonte:
You can see the display in all angles. Slightly worse with rainbow-effect in some angles, but still visible.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Csetoue:
Anyone know how it compares with the LG V20 display?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] asdfffas:
If the sun shines directly on the screen on max brightness I can see absolutly nothing
[LG G6 Real Life Review] olendorf:
Yes it may be buggy however according to http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g6-review-752130/

the LG G6 display actually gets brighter than 100% when it is set to AUTO.

"Putting it through our testing, we found the display to have a max manual brightness of 556 nits, which is boosted to a very respectable 663 nits when auto brightness is engaged under direct light. In sunlight, this is likely to be even higher"

I have no way to test this myself. The display is just barely usable in direct sunlight. Better than my G3 though. I wish it was better in this regard since I use this as my motorcycle GPS sometimes.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ILGreat:
Sorry for you but in the same condiction i see all very well and compared to my previous device (Samsung Galaxy s4, Redmi Note 2 and Lg G3) i think LG G6 is better of all of them, on automatic brightness too...

Do you use auto brightness and/or a screen protector? I guess some phones have brighter screens than others...

This screen has a very nice black point. It's not as extreme as Samsung's AMOLED screen but it is still a nice screen. I largely prefer the LCD to AMOLED simply because of lack of permanent burn-in which means the contrast will remain fairly consistent throughout the life of the phone.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ghost0211:
I've had issues with AMOLED whites looking creamy whereas my LGs always put out a nice color spectrum.
