Very very fast even with all the automatic stuff enabled. Will be nice to see how it performs as the phone gets bogged down by apps, etc.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] lg3FTW:
If you use the double press volume down to launch camera and quickly press volume up to take picture it's ridiculously fast. IMO the only thing that's going to slow this phone down is slow SD cards (read/write speeds) and cache.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
I bought a Sandisk Extreme PRO 64GB MicroSD card for this reason. The write speed is supposingly around 90MB/s. Either way it's expensive, but if you plan on heavy use, I'd strongly recommend that card.

When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the LG G6's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] maruichan:
This is some of the best software I have ever used with a camera. It can run in manual and it is very well fine-tuned. I also like that when you're in manual, you can "level" the phone as there is a graphic that appears to show you if you are tipping the phone in the shot.

The White balance (color temperature), ISO, shutter speed, EV(?), Manual Focus is possible in manual mode... HDR can also be turned on and off or left on "auto".

There are filters and lots of cool "modes" you can play with. There is also a "pop out" feature that uses both of the back cameras to create an inset image (which is customizeable with filters, different shapes, etc)

The selfie camera has lighting settings, filter and skin tone as well. Lighting adds more light to your face and skin tone basically adds a gaussian blur to your face if you want to give the appearance of faux smoother skin.

You can take advantage of the extra screen real estate and put a pop-up "camera roll" on the side to setup new shots based on past ones.

is it still the 5 min recording limit for 4K due to heating ? which LG v10 also has??
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WAIDroid:
So what happens when you try to record again right after you just filmed? A warning too cool down/wait 5Min.? :p
[LG G6 Real Life Review] brandonpa:
Adequate, but difficult to use and over -difficult to use. Very difficult to navigate and understand within the application.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] subashchandran:
This phone has one of the best implementation of OEM skin over android. Its super light overlays and not trying to do too much in terms of animations and gimmicks. UX 6.0 has a consistent and proportional feeling throughout all the system apps with strict adherence to material design guidelines.

I highly recommend the following settings to take advantage of the insanely dense and crisp screen on this device and to best showcase the UX 6.0 UI themes.

# On Display settings

-- Set display size to smallest (makes the nav bar look apt-ly sized and frees up real estate)

-- Use LG's font instead of Roboto (this font is incredibly crisp on screen and uber readable)

-- Use bold settings for font (helps readability insanely, esp after setting the display size to small)

# On developer settings

-- Set animation speeds to 0.5x on all three animation types

-- Force GPU rendering for 2D

# Use a Dark Theme

-- Use a dark theme or black theme, default one is too bright to my taste.

I'm coming from a Oneplus3T who's OxygenOS had rave review for being a tastefully functional AOSP+ implementation of android. UX 6.0 takes it a notch up on the design side and is more refined than OOS. I wish they get to 7.1.2 soon to take advantage of the battery life improvements, otherwise this one's been mighty impressive so far compared to the experience i had on Oneplus3T.

Coming from mi 5, this mobile is excellent in terms of hardware and software needs to improve more. Previously had g2 which was perfect in all aspects. My sincere suggestion is improve the rom like miui. It has better features and doesn't lagg or hang.

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the LG G6 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[LG G6 Real Life Review] chinchillables:
I have used the charger that came with it (since it was the only USB-C cable I had at the time) and it charged amazingly fast. I bought a Wireless charger as well which is also amazingly fast. It's my first wireless charging experience and I was told it trickle charges so it would be much slower than charging from the cable, but I barely notice a difference in speed at all. I keep checking the phone what seems like every couple of minutes if not seconds and the % has increased by a lot more than I would have imagined. I thought wireless charging to be pointless and a who-cares ordeal, but not that I have experienced it... I don't think I will go back to a device without it (not for a phone at least). I'm not sure if any health issues can be there from radiation, but I'm almost dead anyway (well... I have about 50 years to go I guess) so I don't really care, lol.

For those wondering, I went with the CHOETECH Qi Model T513 wireless charger. Input: DC5V/2A (Max) Output: 7.5W which I purchased from Amazon for only $19.95. That was 50% off at the time I purchased it, but that was only a few days ago so you might want to check on it.

Went and picked up this bad boy today. LS variant. Out of the box, had 41%. Using my car charger Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0(yes 2.0) and the included USB C, it charged to 70% in the 20 minute drive back to my house. For using the old QC tech, still charged amazingly fast. I have a QC3.0 39W wall charger that got delivered this afternoon. Will wait til this baby dies and charge her up with that and will report back.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] BlackKnight23:
Ive noticed when using a QC 3.0 charger and cable doesnt seem like the g6 is actually charging faster. Its suppose to support QC but its not.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sharoon01:
I'm finding this charges a lot slower than my S7 Edge as well. Using the provided cable and charger it takes about 2.5 hours to go from 5% to full which is generally fine, but there isn't a burst and then trickle. I appreciated being able to plug my phone in for a short time when it was low and top it up enough to go out and not worry about it dying. Can't really do that with this one.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] 2015Ducatimulti:
I had a power brick laying around and says qualcomm 2.0 and it charge`s really fast, like 1% of battery every min. , but yes with the stock charger brick takes forever to charge.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] ted presley:
Using a Xiaomi USB C charger (45W) which supports both UPD 2.0 and QC 3.0, my phone charged very fast.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
Mine charges super fast with the supplied charger. I plugged in with 11% yesterday and hit 50% in like 25 minutes.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] tagacapiz:
quick charging is convenient and all, but is there a way to revert to normal charging? I don't want to accelerate my cycles. Thanks.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
Use a non-QC charger.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] tagacapiz:
thanks. I'll do that, I have to get extra cables anyway. Although I was wondering if there was a way to hack it phone-wise.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] abdullahziad:
the charger that comes with the device doesn't support QC3, it's a QC2 charger.

so, getting a QC3 charger would defiantly decrease the charging time :good:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
I'm pretty sure the supplies charger is QC3.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sharoon01:
Silly question - is there an easy way to tell if a charger is QC2 or QC3?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Killua96:
Look to the charger specification, if it supports only 5v and 9v then is QC2. QC3 scales on various voltage between 5 and 12 volts.

And yes, the provided charger is QC2, probably the same Found with the G5.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] vintagerock:
Yeah I take back what I said. The supplied charger does appear to "only" be QC 3. It still seems faster then QC2 though. Maybe it's just in my head. It works for my needs though, I can get almost 50% in like 20.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] lg3FTW:
Charge in airplane mode when you can. When you have no worries of anyone calling or texting. With wifi off as well you'll see a decent jump in fast charging.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] kartoonz:
purchased by phone a couple of days back and it charged from 5% to 100% in approx 1.40 mins with the stock QC 2.0. I'm damn impressed.... :)

Let me Ask y'all something. Coming from a LG G4 and just Charging My Batteries by a OEM Battery Charger I got 2HRs More of SOT. When I charge via the USB Quick Charger I got the same 3HRs as usual. So I got 5 while charging Slower then the SO-Called Quick Charging. To my understanding Batteries are meant to Slow-Charge rather then Fast
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Resync:
The one in the box is qc2, I asked LG about this.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] greg elmassian:
I get fast charging from the power cube they supplied, and also my samsung "active fast charging" cubes.

I also got fast charging from an off-brand wireless, adrema, which will pull almost 2 amps max...

[LG G6 Real Life Review] rubiicon59:
Piss poor when the ad campaign lauds QC 3.0 capability but LG bundle it with a QC 2.0 charger.

Same with the V20.

Like getting your new car delivered with only 3 of those stunning alloy wheels you saw on the car in the showroom.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] titomax82:
I can confirm. Charger bundled is QC 2.0 and, also, a poor QC because, reading the labels on it, it's always 1.8 A, no matter if in 5V or 9V mode (in this second way it should give more Ampere).

So: 3300mAh battery / 1800 mAh charger = 1,83 hours needed (theory tested in practice with full charge from 5% to 100%) in 2 hours.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aikon94:
I just bought a charger with QC 3.0 and the speed it practically the same of the standard charger.. what a shame.. I think this LG doesn't really support qualcom quick charge.

1. 5V, 2.85A

2. 9V, 2.85A

3. 12V, 2.15A

When I connected my G6...it showed fast charging...but dont know whether its using 9V or 12V... ?

[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mapantz:
I'm on my second G6 (H870DS)

I had the Ice Platinum version, and it wouldn't charge fast at all - 1% a minute, and a full charge took 2 hours. I sent it back for a replacement, and I got the Astro black version, and I have the same issue. It says fast charging on the screen, but it clearly isn't.

I have read many conflicting things, that say the G6 should charge 80% in 30 minutes, or 50% in 30 minutes. I'm getting your bog standard 30% in 30 minutes.

I have tried the stock charger and cable..

Here's the other chargers and cables I have:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01H17OUGO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Braided-BlitzWolf-Reversible-Charger-ChromeBook/dp/B06XRF93GP

I have tried the quick charge 2.0 charger and cable that I use for my tablet, that doesn't make a difference either. All of the cables and chargers I have listed, charge my LG G5 to around 55 / 60% in 30 minutes. In my mind, this is an issue with the device itself, not the cables or chargers.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] greg elmassian:
I bought some of those inexpensive USB voltage/current monitors from ebay... I can see which cables limit current.

I was charging a tablet last night and the charger could not keep up with the power while it was on, i.e. charge state dropped while charging.

Put the monitor on the power cube and got .2 amps .... pulled out my stock samsung cable, got .8 amps same tablet and same power cube.

Took out the scissors and cut up that cable and threw in trash.

Inexpensive easy way to check... why guess on the cable when you can check it for sure?

Greg
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aikon94:
THIS THIS THIS, it's the same for me, I've noticed it too, 1% each 1 minute.. This is not a fast charging at all..
[LG G6 Real Life Review] olendorf:
With the stock charger and cable I get 1.8 to 2watts charging with the screen on. When the screen is off (even if AOD is on) the charging power increases to 13-15watts. That is definitely better than 1% a minute at 50% charge.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aikon94:
So how much do you get per minute? because I've tried everything and still getting 1% a minute.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] greg elmassian:
olendorf, how are you measuring wattage?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] olendorf:
I have one of those USB monitor devices that goes between the charger and the cable. I just charged my phone from 34% and this is what I found.

CHARGE Minutes wattage MAHs

34% 0 2-10 Just started charge, Screen on

35% 0 15.18 Screen off. Started timer

38% ? 12

56% 16 11-13

67% 25 11-12

71% 28 11-12

75% 32 9-10 847

85% 43 7-8 1047

90% 50 6 1164

95% 60 5 1300

100% 70-80 3.3 1520 missed actual time. Even at 100% it was showing 3.3watts.

Phone stayed cool during whole time. GSAM showed max battery temp was 97 degrees F at about 98% charge.

So the phone starts charging pretty strong and then ramps down as it charges. 60minutes to go from 35 to 95 is 1 minute per 1% as people are finding.

The interesting thing I see is an increase of 65% charge should be 65% of total battery capacity or 2145mah. I show I only used 1520 mah so either my battery is not calibrated yet or my USB measuring device is not accurate or the battery is not the size they say it is.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aikon94:
So we were right, is there any way to contact LG directly and ask them what is wrong with battery and charging speed?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xlr8me:
I get 3% per minute fast charge.

Can hit 60-70% in 30-45min

Must use qc3 charger.

Good luck
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WstrKuNoužč:
And that's exactly how QC3.0 works (QC1.0 and 2.0 same probably). At low battery % it starts stronger to charge quickly and then slowly ramps down to preserve the battery and not damage it or some ****. :)

So the lower your battery %, the faster it will charge.

I think the provided charger is QC3.0. I've read that quite a few times on other forums n pages. Also G6's battery is 3300mAh vs Galaxy s7's 3000mAh.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aikon94:
May I ask you which charger and which cable do you use?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] rubiicon59:
That would make 90% in 30 minutes.... your figures don't add up.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mapantz:
Not for a high percentage of G6 users, unfortunately.

I had a parcel arrive today: Official LG G6 Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 UK Travel Charger - this was the forth charger tested. I waited until my G6 completely emptied before trying it. Guess what? 1% per minute still.. in fact, at exactly 30 minutes in, it said 28%. 2 hours and 14 minutes to fully charge. I then decided to test that same charger on my juiceless G5. That charged to 67% in 30 minutes, and a full charge took 1 hour and 31 minutes.

That is now two quickcharge 3.0 chargers tested, the stock charger that came with the G6, and a quickcharge 2.0 charger. Four different charging cables were used, and the outcome is exactly the same on all four - scraping 1% a minute. Not to mention the fact that it is my second G6 I tested. Hands down, this is a problem with a high number of G6's sold.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Sid@developer:
Maybe the charging speed is reduced to prevent heating ?? :confused:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mapantz:
Something isn't right, that's for sure! :(

I'm considering sending my H870DS back again (seller has said they would refund or exchange again) and buy the G6 Plus when it appears on eBay. It would also be good to get a report on any differences from the standard G6's available at the moment.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] WstrKuNoužč:
Yeap, something definitely isn't right here. Mine charges pretty fast especially at lower battery charge. I think it takes around 1hr 30 mins to charge from near zero to 100%.

Maybe there's a background process that's "milking" the battery too much while you're charging? Have you tried charging with phone turned off?

It could also just be a defect. Every phone has defects. This might be G6's.

Also aren't you English? Don't you guys have EU versions of G6 (H870)? I see you own H870DS and find it weird. O_o
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Mapantz:
I turn the airplane mode on when doing the charging tests. You can't keep the device switched off during charging, it will always turn back on.

Re H870DS - I didn't want the UK version, as I wanted the quad DAC and 64GB of internal storage. Here in the UK (at time of buying) UK retailers were charging £599 to £649 for a G6 without the quad DAC and only 32GB of storage. It was a no-brainer to buy the HK H870DS with those two extras, for only £499. :good:
[LG G6 Real Life Review] xlr8me:
Actually no. Supplied charger is 9v max so it's technically qc2. 5

Qc 3 supports 5v, 9v and 12v in incremental 200mV settings. The max power should be 18-20W so at 12v max current @1.5A therefore p=vi = 18W. Even though supplied charger is 9v @2a =18w it cannot charge as fast as 12v at low battery % <50%

Look for qc3 approved on your charger.

Good luck .
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aikon94:
I think we should contact LG directly for this problem since it's start to become a huge problem.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] octopusoh:
What's G6 plus? Is there such a phone?
[LG G6 Real Life Review] Aikon94:
It seems that LG is working on 2 new version of the G6:

LG G6 Plus - wireless charging support, 128 GB storage at 100+ dollars than the standard G6.

LG G6 Pro - 32GB of storage and 100 dollars less than standard.
[LG G6 Real Life Review] sunwokong:
Use the official original charger and hit 50% in about half an hour, 90% in an hour, but about 15 minutes for the last 10%.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] :
Even LG V20 takes lot of time to charge. What I have notice is HTC 10 charger has Qualcomm quick 3.0 logo. Whereas on LG charger Qualcomm quick charge symbol is missing. I am really use to fast charging technology after using OnePlus 5 and HTC 10. It is difficult to leave without it. Infact OnePlus 5 charge fast even when using heavy apps like YouTube and multitasking. I use to charge my phone 3 time a day but with LG V20 I will have to be careful and cut down my usage.

10:20Pm - 5%

There is a lot of BS in this thread regarding charging time on G6.

The post about fast charge till 60% then middle charge to 85% and then trickle to 100% is correct.

ie about 1hr 15-30min to fully charge from flat with qc3.

[LG G6 Real Life Review] titomax82:
It's useless to think about charging "names" (fastcharge, quickcharge and so on). The only two important things are "the maximum current that phone can absorbe and the maximum current that charger can give". In both cases we must look to "Ampere". I don't precisely know the maximum currect that our pghone can absorbe, but being quickcharge 3.0 certified, it can absorbe for sure more than the 1.8A that bundled charger can give (no matter if at 5V or 9V, because in both situations it'is always 1.8A just reading charger's specs). So "battery's amperes / charger's ampere = time to charge ... that in our specific situation is 3.3/1.8 = 1.83 hours, that is about 1 hour and 50 minutes to go from 0% to 100% load. This is effectively, and obviously, charging time of my phone with bundled charger. If other people have different charging times, evidently they use (or they have received in bundle) a different charger. All other debates are valueless.
