[Moto Maxx General] :
The real problem with the LG G6 was the STUPID regionalized specs scheme.

Want more than 32GB internal storage? Only some of the Asian variants had that.

Want Quad DAC? Out of luck if you live in Europe or U.S.

Want Qi wireless charging? Better move to the U.S.!

WHY? I want more storage, better audio AND Qi wireless -- but there was no LG G6 with ALL the specs. The

U.S. unlocked and European unlocked did also qualify for official bootloader unlock, but those were limited to 32GB models only.

And the U.S. was the only LG G6 sold world-wide that had Qi wireless. Yes, they all have microSD card expansion -- but only the Asian models had 64GB internal memory + microSD card and then even fewer Asian models had Quad DAC. NONE of the the "better" LG G6 was on the bootloader unlock list, and NONE had "all" the specs.

LG had a winning phone on paper, but they cut that paper up and shipped it to various parts of the world. :rolleyes: You could not tape it all back together to get the FANTASTIC phone that could have competed with the Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+.

Only with the LG G6 Plus (which was NOT bigger, just had more specs) -- released MONTHS later as a follow-up to the LG G6 -- did LG include quad DAC and more storage for ALL countries where it was sold. It was the LG G6 they should have sold in the first place!

BUT even then,

only the South Korea LG G6 Plus also had Qi wireless charging

-- but NOT the European LG G6 Plus or Taiwan variant or others. WHY? (Apparently the LG G6 Plus was not released in U.S. markets officially.) And the super-duper South Korea LG G6 Plus was not on the official bootloader unlock list.

NONE of the LG G6 Plus

are on the bootloader unlock list.

So, if the European LG G6 Plus, Taiwan LG G6 Plus and all others don't even have "all" the specs, why is are they being called the "Plus" model? :rolleyes: LG seems to try REAL hard to screw things up, to what should be simple sales-winner specs.

Also by this time (mid year 2017) when the LG G6 Plus was released, there was no excuse not to have Snapdragon 835. The South Korea LG G6 Plus (with Qi wireless charging, quad DAC, 64GB memory) was the phone LG should have released back in the beginning to the ENTIRE WORLD. At that point (early 2017, with the LG G6) they were beating Samsung to market and had to go with last year's Snapdragon 821. Even with "last year's" Snapdragon (which the Pixel XL also has), at the point in time (early 2017) the LG G6 Plus would have been a winner.

Instead they released parts of the phone to various parts of the world as various crippled flavors of LG G6, then later released the LG G6 Plus -- which not only made LG G6 buyers feel STUPID (they should have waited for the BETTER phone)... but then LG then still didn't fix the "last year" Snapdragon issue. Who is going to pay NEW prices for a Snapdragon 821 phone in mid-2017, MONTHS after other phones with Snapdragon 835 is on the market?

The mid-2017 LG G6 Plus should have had Snapdragon 835, and Qi wireless for all countries, as well as bootloader unlock at least for U.S. and Europe (like the LG G6). Maybe LG felt that would step on the release of the LG V30, but so what? It would have made amends for their very idiotic "regionalization" specs scheme for the LG G6 at the beginning of the year. Also, the LG V30 is coming in AMOLED with a bigger display, so they would not be identical phones.

LG V30 Wireless Charger Temporarily Listed On Official Site

https://www.androidheadlines.com/20...charger-temporarily-listed-official-site.html

This leaked this last week. A wireless charging dock for "LG V30" -- and makes no mention it needs "LG V30 Plus" or other nonsense. So, hopefully the rumors that LG is keeping Qi wireless charging only for the South Korea LG V30 Plus (the one with ALL the specs) is unfounded.

Maybe the LG V30 will have Qi wireless and also appear on the LG bootloader unlock list.
