LG G6 - Like a G6

LG has unveiled their flagship smartphone for the year 2017 . The phone , designed to take on the Samsung Galaxy S8 , iPhone 7S , Sony's Xperia XZ premium and a plethora of other similarly spec'ed devices is now officially here to take the torch from the G5 .
Say hello to the LG G6 . The handset , which says goodbye to LG's removable battery option is now officially a member of the unibody design club . The 5.7-inch QHD+ (2,880 x 1,440 resolution) "FullVision Display" is probably one of the strangest mobile displays as it has a aspect ratio of 18:9 . This aspect ratio - which according to LG is said to offer "more viewing space and a more immersive experience when streaming videos and playing games " than traditional 16:9 displays which sacrifice space for on screen buttons usually . The display supports HDR 10 format and Dolby Vision .

Performance on the LG G6 is supplied by a Snapdragon 821 - a Quadcore chip with Adreno 530 GPU . The chip is mated with 4GB of RAM . The Snapdragon 821 although is not Qualcomm's fastest (835) but it is no slouch and will probably wreck benchmarks set now . The G6 also features 4 DAC's for finer audio .


Cameras on the G6 include a twin camera setup on the rear and a single sensor up front . The rear twin cameras are both 13MP but the main sensor (13MP) is a 1 2/3 sensor with Optical image stability ,f 1.8 aperture and a 71 degree fov . The second sensor features a 1/3 sensor and this has an aperture of f2.4 and a 125 degree fov . Both cameras are paired with a dual camera flash and they can record 4K UHD . The front camera is a 5mp sensor with f2.2 aperture and 1080p recording .


Design and battery on smartphone is unique to LG as the handset has basically embraced the flow and is now certified for IP68 dust and water resistance . The phone also is made out of a glass and a metal frame which according to LG , will allow the phone to dissipate any heat by aiding the internal heat pipe in the unibody chassis . The phone features Wireless charging , USB Type C 3.1 , FM radio , single or dual sim standby and a 3300 mAh battery .

The Android 7.0 equipped LG G6 is also said to include $200 worth of games and apps pre installed . The phone is also said to feature Google's highly coveted Assistant system as well . Pricing is to be announced .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers.

We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
