LG G6 deals and reviews

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.

ZDNet | Matthew Miller

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.

TechDissected | Cliff Wade

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.

The Mobile Indian | Nirupam Manik

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

Australian PC World | Nick Ross

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.

Gotta Be Mobile | Josh Smith

The LG G6 is an impressive Android phone that buyers cannot ignore. 2017 is not a Samsung only affair as LG clearly stepped up the game.

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.

NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt

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.

Neowin | Rich Woods

It's a great all-around phone, and if you're upgrading from a mid-tier device from 2016 or a 2015 flagship, you'll surely love it.

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.

GottaBeMobile | Josh Smith

The LG G6 is an impressive Android phone that can hold its own against the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 7. The LG G6 is an impressive Android phone that buyers cannot ignore. 2017 is not a Samsung only affair as LG clearly stepped up the game.

Mobile Syrup | Rose Behar

The LG G6 is an outstanding premium tier smartphone. One can only hope it will receive some modicum of the attention the S8 receives.

Wired UK | Luke Edwards

The LG G6 has an incredible battery life but its HDR display is not compatible with enough apps to be fully useful yet

Tom's Guide | Sam Rutherford

With fantastic gesture controls, top-notch performance, great battery life and two models to choose from, the Moto G5 Plus is easily one of the best phones on the price range

Digital Trends | Andy Boxall

The LG G6 proves that big-screen phones can come in small packages. It's the best Android phone you can buy.

Expert Reviews | Christopher Minasians

The LG G6 is a decent flagship with a great screen, an impressive camera and a great design (as long as you don't choose the black version).

Android Central | Florence Ion

It's equipped with stellar hardware, it's water resistant, it's stylish, and it's certifiably unique in its own right - this is what is looks like when LG has a hit on its hands!

Android Authority | Nirave Gondhia

LG's return to form involves going back to basics. From the unique 18:9 display to the dual camera and excellent overall package, there's a lot to like about the LG G6, which sets the standard for flagship phones in 2017.

Ubergizmo | Hubert Nguyen

The LG G6 is a beautiful handset that is built with purpose: battery life, simplicity, beauty, durability, and reliability.

phoneArena | Stephen S.

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.

What Mobile | Thomas Welburn

The LG G6 is an excellent handset and a return to form for the Korean electronics manufacturer.

GadgetMatch | Michael Josh Villanueva

Measured solely on its own merits, the LG G6 is without a doubt a worthy smartphone ... it is a phone you should definitely consider, up there with the best of 2017.

TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey

It has a handsome design, rock solid build and is a very good performer. But for many people, the real ace up the G6's sleeve as far as it comes to the Galaxy S8 might be its significantly lower price tag..

Gadgets Now | Rajat Sharma

...great all-round smartphone. 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... So if you want an Android smartphone that excels in every department, go ahead and get the LG G6, you won't be disappointed.

AndroidPit | Luis Ortega

Although it's a good smartphone, it doesn't have the latest processor and still carries a high-end price tag.

Toronto Sun | Eddie Chau

It covers all the bases in terms of functionality compared to others at a fraction of the price. The LG G6 is a solid phone worth picking up.

AVForums | David Phelan

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.

Alphr | Jonathan Bray and Christopher Minasians

The LG G6 is a decent phone with a great screen, an impressive camera and an admirably innovative design. If you want to buy right now, though, we'd incline towards spending the extra on the Galaxy S8.

IT PRO | Christopher Minasians

The LG G6's stretched-out display makes it a pleasure to use, but you should probably wait for the Samsung Galaxy S8.

S21

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.

V3 | Basil Kronfli

LG's flagship Android smartphone isn't quite as sexy as the Samsung Galaxy S8, but nor is it as expensive. The result is a good phone let down by a number of disappointing shortcomings.

The Inquirer | Basil Kronfli

It ain't as pretty as the Galaxy S8 but it's still an excellent phone. The result is an excellent phone with a few marked shortcomings.

YourTechExplained | Keyan X

Overall, the LG G6 is a great and safe phone from the company. It's sleek, has a great display and camera, and performs very well. This is your best, LG

news.com.au | Matthew Dunn

Overall, LG has upped its game with a solid offering free from gimmicks. In saying that, I would be more inclined to push people toward Samsung's Galaxy S8 or suggest they wait until September to see what Apple has to offer with the iPhone 8.

CNET UK | Lynn La

The LG G6 is a gorgeous phone and those wary of Samsung should get it.

Android Headlines | Alexander Maxham

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.

T3 | Spencer Hart

LG has finally made a good-looking, premium smartphone free from gimmicks. It's one of the most exciting phones of the year, no question. LG has finally made a good-looking, premium smartphone free from gimmicks. There are a lot of features we love here - that wide-angle screen is great, the bezels are tiny, and the dual-camera is really handy.

Trusted Reviews | Max Parker

An impressive, simple Android phone let down by a few odd decisions. It features all the parts of the G5 that I liked – basically, that decent camera setup – but now looks attractive, and the near-bezel-free design is eye-catching.

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.

TechSpot | Tim Schiesser

While the G6 is a solid smartphone and one of LG's best, it falls behind in too many areas to take out the 'best smartphone' crown.

Pickr | Leigh Stark

At this point of time - in the middle of 2017 - there are so many great options out there, and LG's G6, as good as it is, just isn't as flash as it might have been a few months ago.

Firstpost | Anirudh Regidi

Compared to the S8, the G6 is just…bland. If the phone had launched alongside the Pixel in November, it may have stood a chance, but even that is debatable.

Gizmodo UK | Michael Nunez

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.

Mashable | Stan Schroeder

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.
