Recombu | Chris Barraclough

The LG G6 is the first essential flagship phone of 2017. This time around LG has concentrated hard on the features that demanding users expect, delivering unique abilities such as the Dolby Vision support to rise the G6 above the competition. In every other area it succeeds just as strongly, offering dependable battery life, solid camera tech and a rather enticing design.

Stuff | Tom Morgan

The G6 doubles down on the things people actually want their phones - and the end result is the best one LG has ever made. The G6 is still one of the most visually arresting flagship phones out there, barely putting a foot wrong across the board. And you can't ask for much more than that.

Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton

All in all the LG G6 is a great phone that's every bit the flagship.... The software is lightweight and easy to customise, the dual camera system offers a lot of versatility... The build, performance and display are all up there with the best available too.

Phone Scoop | Eric M. Zeman

It's LG's best turn at design, best example of engineering as an art form, best in raw performance, and best in delivering a good experience across the board. It has so few weaknesses I can hardly think what they might be.

The LG G6 is a great phone for the enterprise. If a great camera is high on your list, then you should consider the LG G6.

Coolsmartphone | Leigh Geary

This is everything I wanted the LG G5 to be. Brilliant design, top-end quality and a gorgeous screen which I can still (just about) use one handed. Top stuff.

Overall I actually really like the LG G6 from Verizon for a lot of different reasons. In the end, considering that it's cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S8 I think it's a device worth picking up if you're looking for a new device and wanting one that is new to the market.

TechAeris | Jason Bouwmeester

Like other Android smartphone flagship devices, the LG G6 is a solid choice. The larger screen resolution in a smaller form factor definitely gives it a leg up, and the HDR10 and Dolby Vision support are nice added features as well.

pocketnow | Jaime Rivera

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.

To sum up, LG has finally built up a great phone as compared to its predecessor and has added some interesting features.

It does almost everything very well and only persnickety issues with audio and the (mainly Selfie) camera stop us from declaring it the outright king of smartphones.

VentureBeat | Jordan Novet

Ultimately, the G6 is respectable and a move forward from the G5, but it has been outclassed by the S8. The G6 wouldn't be the worst phone to get, but it might not be the best, either.

PCWorld | Michael Simon

The G6 is a well-designed phone with a fantastic screen and camera, but it's going to have a hard time fending off Samsung's Galaxy S8.

Not everything about the LG G6 is high-end, but the overall concept is very good and the improved cameras, good runtimes, as well as the compact design result in a very good smartphone.

NDTV Gadgets | Jamshed Avari

We really like what we see with the LG G6. The balance between cost, features, performance and style is absolutely unmatched right now. If you aren't particular about having the absolute latest technology, we think that this phone will prove to be a highly satisfactory choice.

International Business Times | Oliver Craigg

The LG G6 is an all no killer, no filler smartphone that sees LG going back to basics with resoundingly positive results. The G6 is a bonafide prize fighter gunning for the Android crown, and while it may not snatch gold from the likes of Samsung and Apple this year, it puts LG back in contention in knockout form.

If you want to jump on the G6 now, by all means, go ahead: it's going to be hard to feel let down. But if you're always wondering "what if," it couldn't hurt to sit things out at least through the end of the month and see if the competition steps up in the way we're expecting it to.

From a subtly-elegant design to premium construction and from great audio quality to terrific camera experience, there are many things that LG's 2017 flagship does right...The G6 is undoubtedly the best smartphone that LG has ever made...

Its overall style and usability are slightly pipped by Samsung's Galaxy S8 – but only slightly. Still, this is a highly pleasing smartphone and at its price it's one that's a little cheaper than the Samsung, too.

The LG G6 is a premium metal-and-glass phone with a huge 5.7 inch HDR screen. IT is a nice phone, with plenty to recommend it, especially if you watch Netflix on your phone. But we're not sure why it's quite so expensive.

TechRadar | Gareth Beavis

The G6 is a great phone from LG, one that pushes the brand back to the forefront of the smartphone pile in terms of design and screen. However, lower-spec performance and not upgrading the camera in a meaningful way while still charging a huge premium make this a tough sell.

Know Your Mobile | Richard Goodwin

From a purely critical standpoint the LG G6, whichever way you slice it, just isn't as good or as impressive as its nearest and dearest peers and this fact alone makes it kind of hard to really fall in love with. This is a real shame too because for the last few years LG has consistantly WOWed me with its flagships, its innovations and its attempts at doing things differently.

TechnoBuffalo | Brandon Russell

Although it looks somewhat similar to the Galaxy S8, the G6 is its own device. You'll be perfectly happy with LG's flagship, even if it doesn't feature an iris scanner, the latest processor, or any sort of modularity. LG has produced a solid phone that deserves to stand next to the S8.

LG fixed a lot of the problems they experienced with the LG G5 last year, and went out and built a great smartphone in the LG G6. The LG G5, while it was a metal smartphone, just didn't feel premium, but the LG G6 definitely does. Should you buy the LG G6? The short answer is yes.

SlashGear | Chris Davies

For now, the LG G6 makes its case as a rational, capable vision of an Android flagship. While the S8 may be more flashy, LG's dual cameras will rightly appeal to photographers. Add handsome design and thoughtful hardware and software decisions, and you have one of the leading Android phones of 2017.

The Verge | Dieter Bohn

LG has shipped something really good; and in the case of the display, something remarkably good. That's enough to ensure that the G6 has a place in the debate about the best phones of the year. It almost surely won't win that debate, but it has shifted it forward to its next stage.

The G6 is an oversimplified phone to make up for last year's over-complicated disaster. LG has pared down the phone so much that it's really nothing special. This is a no-nonsense flagship with all the essentials and nothing more.

The LG G6 is sitting pretty. The LG G6 is a surprisingly solid and simple phone that somehow manages to be the most interesting flagship you can buy right now. Of course, the price has to be right for me to give a full recommendation, and we don't know it at this point.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
