LG G6 after 6 Months! Let's Gooo!!!
Nick Ackerman lg G6 Vs galaxy s8 battery life which best
Intro could've been a lot less cringy
still doesnt have oreo?
Nick Ackerman please film a video on how you modified ur device to look like a nexus Google phone
Аьхфt
I've got Lg G6, from the day 1 when the phone was released, and I can say that the battery life i great. I am a heavy user and at the end of the day my G6 got left between 30% and 35% juice. No lag, No studder, No freezes. LG ALL THE WAY !
Valentin Zhekov fly like a g6
Even I am heavy user I too experience same good battery backup and audio also good as hifi dac inbuilt...
For some reason LG doesn't lag or stutter....it powers through and probably would heat up. I have an LG g2 on 4.4.2 kitkat and it plays games with high graphic levels with no problems. All it does is heat up.
Reuben George For some reason it does heat up for like the first day or 2 now it doesn't it was so weird
jason jones probably downloading and updating things...high stress on phone when you sync stuff also
This phone came out in 2017. What year are we still in? Can we please not buy into the whole your phone is outdated after 6 months thing? I've received probably a total of 7 updates already with my G6 on Sprint. But these were Android/LG updates. There is absolutely nothing outdated about this phone and it holds up with today's flagships. Only base your decision on what makes you feel good. Not other people saying that your phone is old. This is not an old phone!
It confuses the sh*t out of me!
CeeStyleDj Word. The G6 is now one of the best value for money top end phones out there. I look at what's come out these last few months of 2017 that could potentially be an upgrade and a lot of those phones have major flaws at extortionate prices: the V30 and Pixel XL 2 with bad oled screens - looking at you LG - the current Samsung phones with poor fingerprint scanner placement, and the iPhone X with that notch and extra fragile build.
As it stands, I honestly think the G6 is the most underrated phone of 2017 and as such, crazy good value for money, especially if you can get the international + version with the extra storage and Quad DAC. You basically get 80 or 90% of the bells and whistles of the latest flagships for less than half of their price.
thats right i will be getting one and until now i have been using nexus 5 for almost 4 years, such a great phone
ProGamer lol. Ridiculous. You're wasting your money because marketing tells you that something is better. There's absolutely nothing a 6-month newer phone can do than a 6 month older one. But, whatever makes you happy I suppose.
Alboravin I agree. I probably spent a solid 4 hours before I decided on my purchase - and that was on the evening of my purchase - not to mention the weeks and months prior to getting a new phone. You're right; I found that a lot of the phones that are competing with the G6 had flaws or issues I just couldn't deal with. The only thing I still don't really like about the G6 is the 18 by 9 ratio screen but I have definitely gotten used to it and it doesn't bother me anymore. I just prefer the with that my G3 had as well as the height when watching a video. As for performance, I really can't see any other phone out performing it even today January 28th, 2018. It's not like we're editing video on these phones. Anything that you're doing on your phone is probably going to be performed at the same way with any Flagship. As for benchmarks numbers, that's all they are: numbers. It's like saying your car with 207 horsepower is better than my car with 204. It's ridiculous. Go with what you like, with what you think looks cool, and be happy with it. If someone judges you for having an "old" phone ( which is ridiculous because they are still selling this new at the carriers) they have personal issues to deal with. I really don't care what anyone thinks of what I own. I do my research, I know what's a good product and I stick with it.
Seriously, G6 and V30 are the top phones of 2017.
Colors are more accurate on the G6 to be honest. OLED is nice and vivid, but the colors are not really true to life. Only Pixel 2 got it right but everybody hated it because the grass doesn't glow in the dark :)
Currently, the price of the LG is $400-500 less than the S8. That's a lot of money for a flake more of performance.
I also prefer the Look of the G6.
I have own a G6 for 8 months now, and I LOVE this phone. I play Pokemon Go daily and live in Canada so it had got cold in the last few months. Video is pretty accurate with his depiction of the phone, I personally have no issues with the battery but I do partial recharges(30%-80%) a couple times a day. Accubattery says battery is at 90% health after about 300 charge cycles. I bought an early model with some slight screen bleed from the backlight at th bottom of the screen but it's only noticable in the pitch balck with a dark background and later models shouldn't have the same issue. Regardless the screen is beatiful, very accutate colour representation like past LG LCD panels which I prefer over Samsungs oversaturated Amoleds. Makes reading and using the phone in dark settings a joy.
Patrick Leonard Do the phone shut off in the cold?
I picked one up last month for 335 and it’s awesome for that price. Wide angle camera is great in outdoor situation
where?
Tony Wang is sum ting wong?
Great video. I have had a G6 since last April. I am a light user, I get four days on a full charge almost every time, even after a year of use. Guess it depends on usage.
Agree completely. It is a steal right now! SDG 821 is about 30 percent slower than the SDG 835; but in real world usage, I can assure anyone that they are not going to notice it. Thanks for sharing here Nick! More people should know about it and make conscious decisions of buying such gadgets.
Sudip Chatterjee the 835 is only 10% faster.
Sudip Chatterjee More like 10%.
It's closer in performance than you think. Probably Closer than 10%. You guys have to remember that the 821 in the G6 is not the 821 and other phones. It has faster clock speeds specifically for the G6
CeeStyleDj yeah
CeeStyleDj Didn't know that. Thanks for informing! 👍👊
The G6 is an amazing phone but I still think the LG G3 have the best screen and it still holds up today, if not better than today's Flagship phones. There's something about the calibration of the LG G3 screen. Don't get me wrong, the G6 looks awesome and so do today's current phones but there was just a little bit more sharpness with the G3 and everything looked a little more true to life.
CeeStyleDj I love my G3. 4 years later, and I'm still not convinced to give it up😀
CeeStyleDj I still have my G3. I love it!
I'm looking at the G6 because this one is getting old and the battery is starting to give out. I can either go buy a battery or get a new phone. I must have the double tap so I need the LG for that and I like what I'm hearing about the 6. I just love this G3!!! :)
LCrum20th I didn't want to replace mine. But I was having issues with something corrupt in Android. Also my battery was starting to go low. I would have still been on my G3 if it wasn't for these issues but I'm happy with the G6.
CeeStyleDj I love lg 3 too.Just curious why not just get a new battery? Also if you dont mind which has longer battrry life.Lg3 or lg6
I say that about the G4 Stylo, It has been a horse and it only needs a 4 dollar part. Id rather have the old one
I picked one up for $280 brand new for a friend. It's one of the best cell phone deals I have ever gotten (thanks to poor advertising and the boot loop reputation), and I got my Galaxy S8+ a while back for $500. The LG G6 is amazing for the price and I find myself jealous of the wide angle camera sometimes.
Yesterday I picked up an LG G6 Silver for just €285 and I love the feel, look and speed of it!
I have the phone now for about 8 months and here is my honest review: The battery is really good and last easily a full day, the camera is brilliant and alot of people say that the selfie is not good but i find it good and its not disturbing me, its not slow and not getting slower, i find the phone really fast and powerfull. I've dropped the phone for not less than 10 times and it didnt break or anything( I have a cover for the phone but not a screen protector). I still find this phone amazing and not looking to change it anytime soon.
Bought mine in January of this year. No issues at all. Runs smooth as butter.
Did you guys have problems when you first got it with the battery? I got it yesterday and it loses 20 percent every 30 minutes or so without doing much and on lowest brightness with unuseful apps disabled.
6 months down the line I'm also loving my G6, and not one bit convinced that the latest flagships out there are enough of a leap ahead to fork out an eye and a liver for.
The G6 is probably the best value for money phone on the market right now. Most of the bells and whistles of the latest 2017 phones for less than half the price. If you get the international + version with extra storage and quad DAC on the cheap then that's definitely a win.
Thanks for the zooming in on youtube tip..did not know TH-cam has started supporting 18:9
Your very welcome and yes it greatly enhances the viewing experience
I prefer this better than any phone out there.
SANA LIKEY LIKEY twice fan here
SANA LIKEY LIKEY so agreed
Any phone. Well if this is true. Then I want to marry you.
this LG G6 is a Heart Shaker
Joe Al S8 isn't worth the price difference. The G6 is selling for under $200, S8 still selling for $400 on ebay. Even tho the S8 has a better CPU it does not perform any better due to touchwiz. If you watch side by side comparisons they are mostly the same.
Glad to see this review, thanks for the time invested in making this video man!
I think what hurt this phone is that it launched really close to the galaxy s8 and was overshadowed by it.
SuperSmashMaster43 You have a great point there because Samsung phones will mostly overshadow any other Android phone on the market.
Auguste Claiborne true
Вфесж
Family
It's actually the snapdragon 821
apparently, the G6 is scheduled to what Android O in February and I'm pretty stoked about it
but then I realized that the developer who got a days off during Christmas was more happy than Iˇm sad, so the overall happiness in the world increased - so whatever
Kenny 92 will the g6 oreo update come in February? ??
دذبوم Dzboom Not confirmed
it will apparently come in june tho
Kenny 92 its halfway through March and us G6 owners still don't have it.
This is the best value phone on the market at the moment. Paid £379 for it and I have zero complaints at that price point. Very happy
I love my LG G6 and bought it for around £400 in March. It’s amazing quality, looks fantastic and performs to the required standard. Only niggle is the front facing selfie.
I'll just be hanging out on my LG G3.
Dude, the video is good, but:
1. The battery is actually fine, this is 5.7 inch with a high pixel density Quad HD display
2. You said that the audio isn't impressive - which audio - the speaker, the headphones or overall? Because I've the Hi-Fi DAC and it's amazing
3. Camera not as good as Samsung and iCrap?! Serious? LG might have weak points, but when it comes to camera, it's been years that they're way ahead the others - all the others
But how do you use soo much phones at the same time?
I have the g3. G4. G5 and the g6. I love the double tap.
Just bought a g6 for $125 unlocked excellent condition
Where?
@@Diego-pn1nr eBay
@@mrbrazil1911 thanks
Loved my g6 for the two years I had it, and did get it for a very reduced price through verizon, now two years later I'm trading it in on the galaxy s10e and once again verizon is coming through with a great deal, they are giving me 200.00 for my g6 to purchase the s10e, that makes this flagship phone 550.00, can't pass that up, considering all the upgrades from ram to storage to better screen, battery, chip set , camera etc. etc....this decision was hard because I've never had one issue with the g6 and it served me well for two years. I think if you need a quality phone and don't have the money to shell out, it's still a very, very good bargain even two years later.
Kudos to LG for *still* managing to design/build a phone without a hideous Camera Hump and give us a pretty full display without an ugly notch.
Other manufacturers could take note! :O)
I use two phones for business and personal and I've been using a V20 for a while now alongside my Galaxy Note. I've been on the Note + iPhone combo for years now. Now that I've experienced the V20, I can't see myself without the wide angle rear and front cams LG offers on their flagships. It's just so versatile. I don't even bother bringing a GoPro anymore on vacation anymore, just a Smooth Q gimbal. That said, I really wish LG would up their game on video stabilization. Manual video is REALLY powerful combined with a gimbal. It allows you to produce near professional-looking video in many lighting conditions. But on auto mode, the image stabilization on the LG is garbage compared to what you get on a Note or iPhone.
The LG flagships are like fine tools. They're great in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. But 99% of people don't, and LG's auto mode kinda sucks in comparison and 99% of people are going to expect great results in auto mode. For the record, Samsung and Apple have great auto mode, both for photo and video. That's probably one of the reasons why LG doesn't sell so well.
Bought it yesterday, review was very helpful thank you!
Awesome man enjoy it!
Bro I don't follow you here first the LG g6 is the better phone and in this video you constantly showing the iPhone and saying that the LG is not that good anymore not for every day of use so now you make it even harder for me because I was looking to buy one but can't decide between the iPhone and the LG :( anyways great review like always
its foquzz Always get iPhone.
its foquzz in my opinionhe iPhone cuz it will last longer time, like software updates and doenst get slow after 1 year like android, my opinion just saying. What iPhone do you want to get?
You're basically saying it is confusing to say that a $1000 phone is slightly better than a $500 phone.
Android and ios are different ecosystem just get what ypu like
its foquzz depends on how you value phones if you are in apples eco system go iphone but if your up for the best funds for features it's lg g6 all the way just a much better deal
Liked before start because your videos are the best
Thank you very much for your support!
I have the LG g6 and also used to have the LG g3 which was a great phone at the time. Have also had the Samsung Galaxy s3 and s6 edge. I way prefer LG. LG g6 has a great battery life better than any other phone I have had. Great camera and performance. Really like this phone a lot.
Can you do an updated LG g6 in 2019 please
The G7 comes out in less than a month, if you're planning on getting this phone, just wait til then, because when a new LG phones comes out, the previous version drops in price alot. However, you can still find one for less than $300 so that is pretty sweet
I love my LG G6
Im from Brasil i see your video and like it.. I Buy one LG 6 and love too.. So i agree with everything you said in the video, my critics are just for the battery, I must be doing something wrong in the flash also that a white in the photos and maybe it can be a little messed up in the icons in the sense that they are consuming a lot of the battery would have to review what I can disable in order to improve this ... If you can make a video of how to improve this would be of great value to me and I assure you that other colleagues from the internet. Thank you very much for the review. I liked it and I signed up for your channel.
i love my G6...not d best out there but the essential things i need are in my G6....really worth buying....
Great video Nick!
I'm being a little nosy but I use calm meditation app too. It's awesome for me!
Hoping LG improves the battery life and includes front facing speakers going forward. Fingers crossed.
Good job, honest review
You have your brightness almost maxed out which is not needed at all and you probably have sync and GPS enabled which all together will eat up battery life. It's a 3300mah battery which is 300mah bigger than the s8 battery and the s8 has a slightly larger and brighter display so this phone actually has really good battery life as long as you know how to make it last like me shutting those things off and lowering the brightness, clearing apps that aren't being used.
Have you notice any screen retention?
The G6's design is actually somewhat thicker than iphones and other flagships. Im surprised no one talks about this in reviews. In my use, I certainly feel its edges being less ergonomic than iphones.
I cannot agree with you more. The battery just sucks big time. I am on a 4G+ network all the day and it just drains the phone so much. My usual SOT is about 4 hours and struggling. But I loved the wide angle cam. I upgraded to the V30
It's a bargain. It goes on sale at £360 in the UK, brand new. The only drawback is the battery as you said, but man, those cameras... And everything else is just great value for money.
hidenproductions battery life is great.
yea every phone will run out of juice if you constantly use it
How about an update video? Still worth it in late 2018?
This has an excellent battery life..What do you mean by it doesn't have a good battery.?
The problem using 820 is not about power, is about battery life. Phones using 835 usually have longer battery life
Best value for the money 100%
I have the lg V20 and no phone is really good enough to worrant a up grade yet maybe the G7
MTG 102 V30+, Pixel 2 XL, and Galaxy Note8 are all better phones
NameNotAvailable _ But you lose a lot of stuff and gain less then you lose.
EXCLUDE THE CAMERA AND ASPECT RATIO. Because of course it is upgraded.
You lose Removable Battery, IR Blaster , Second Screen , HiFi DAC.(exclude v30 for that feature. Because it has it. ) , headphone jack *Khm khm Pixel 2 XL* And muc more. And gain Water-Resistance and "Wireless" charging.
For me not worth it
Same boat.Still using my V20.When it dies I'll get a replacement.Great phone.Just got a 2nd battery 😁
love the new opening
I just order the lg g6 that phone is sick i love the style
If you are a heavy used, understand that you will burn chucks out of this battery. TH-cam and games. But if you are moderate, 6 hours or more isn't hard
"so theres no really issues with this anymore" - that line sum it up.
The G3 and G4 felt great
Nice video. What's your take on the LG G6 vs. V20? I just picked up a G6 like new for under 200 bucks. Now I'm wondering if I should've gone with the V20... But it's all good.
Haha still using my G6 today... Can't say it has a strong camera but it is still faster than any mid range phone except the new poccophone, zenphone 6, and maybe pixel a3
My G6 is around 7 months old and i have no Battery Problems.
It is 11PM und i stil have 20% Left! And i get around 4 1/2 - 5 1/2 hours Screen On Time.
Mine lasted 32 hours 44mins without charge on normal mode
Great review - thank you!
I have a G6 and it's been a good phone but I do prefer the Apples IPhone format over android by a wide margin
How do you not support 4K look at how good your vids look 😄
Ads take 30 minutes to load and the video takes 10 seconds....
My G6 still rocks after 8 months. Hope Oreo comes soon.
WisdomTeeeth any issue with i.age retention? Do you have the hifi dac version?
LG should be released this phone with an OLED panel a Snapdragon 835/ 845. Update the camera and software I would buy that phone in a heartbeat.
Great review as always!!! But i do not really like the design in my opinion
Patrick Chong you mean that dinosaur 5s? G6 is way better
That phone does look really nice
Just got my G6. Got an incredible deal with Fido Canada. Literally paid 100 bucks for the phone and 60 bucks for 2 years with calling minutes and 3 gb of data. Ridiculous 😀
Im using LG G6... No regret after bought it... My G6 is asian varient which had 64GB storage and Hi-Fi Quad Dac . What i hate about G6 is it is abit heavy...
Nick, if you use a Dark theme then Battery life would be better and could be all day with 4 hours SOT over 15 hours usage. But, considering 3300 Mah battery life should have been better
I had one but I shifted to iPhone 8 Plus. Good main camera, selfie camera is just ok but horrible in low light. Good display but Battery life is horrible in the long run.
Marion Dela Cruz
Tru that
like how bad? were you a heavy user?
For low light. Go manual. For battery lower resolution and brightness. Problem solved
Alejandro Ramos my screen time is just 3-4 hours. My iPhone gives me 6-9 hours on heavy usage
6Speed Noda for selfie camera it’s really bad because it’s a flagship phone. I’m happy now with my new phone
Thanks for your review. Mind to give opinion? I am down to G6 vs Blackberry Keyone, i need performance , less lag, uses lot of whatsapp, wechat, business, no requirement for camera and gaming, which one is the best? Or are they any other options? Thanks
I just bought a G6 mint condition for $325! Hoping it all works out
My LG G6 is the worst battery experience of my entire life. Had to buy an extra charger to put in my office, and I kept charging all day. Literally, 4 times a day, I would charge, and this is on the battery saver mode. Horrible.
I bought my Korea version for $485 now $275 i might buy another one.
Very good video Mr nick
I'm still thinking which to buy. The LG G6 or the oneplus 5t? For a budget price.
ticrast 007 If you want Ultra HD go for the G6, if you want RAM go for the 5t.
I get the Korean version; dual sim, 64gb and hifi quad dac for less than 180 us dollars.
Oh man, all that zooming in and out is crazy
Is this a good phone to get for somebody who’s never had or used an android before? I don’t want to spend too much money before I know for sure I’ll like it, and the G6 is priced fairly reasonably.
Honestly the g6 is smoother I've used both and I like the lg g6 it's a better looking phone in person than on these video's
I would really like to buy one but I am concerned that 32gb is not enough storage these days. Is that concern for other people as well if you are not storing a lot of media content on it?
Is the battery life not so good because of the battery size or how the phone operates? I've heard people saying the V30 has great battery life, but it's the same size as the G6. Trying to figure out which phone is the way to go and battery life is important to me.
How about the LG G6 Plus 128 GB review? Why not compare it to G6 and G7? This would help, Thank you
What other phone is as good or even better at this price point? 370Euro and up. Im looking to upgrade from my Xperia Z3 Compact and Camera quality is important to me and same with battery life. Speakers i use occasionally but it's not THAT important. Im not looking to pay a fortune for a high end phone and this one seems pretty solid for the price it's at currently, does it still get updates or is there any other phone that might be preferrable over this one in this price range?
I'm happy with my iPhone 7 matte black
I've heard the front camera is bad, it it true?
Is there any overheated problem with the battery? And is LG G6 die unexpectedly while you guys use it? I’d considered those before deciding to pay for it :”)
I got it for only 410 euro's new 64gb version with quad dac
You know what man I'd love for you to do a durability test..my screen cracked just by being in my pocket..which sucks I'd not recommend this device for people who do a lot of bending...and customer service is a bust..
great phone only thing i didnt like was the battery life and the front facing camera
I love my G6 and V20
I remember considering this phone, but opted for the Pixel XL. Regrets? Not really, but I do miss the wireless charging and ip67...
Black bars on 18:9 ratio are still a problem, what are you talking about,are displays only used for you-tube? I guess no one plays games and watch video's on other services, haan
Roger Moger They're not a problem for me what are u talking about its fixed on all my apps
Games and apps in general are already updating or have updated to this aspect ratio.
Carlos Furtado Yeah but the problem with that is somethings are seen at the ends now. Not on all apps but some like on TH-cam somethings are cut out
jason jones Well, the G6 has a higher resolution screen than most videos are filmed in, so that is expected.
Is that android Oreo official or a custom ROM.
Please tell me I have an LG G6.
Which one you will choose as a daily driver LG G6 or Pixel XL?
Just bought the phone and love it. But battery life Could be better due to software and just about all the major OEMs pushing out Oreo update while this phone is STILL in 7.0.... not even 7.1. but other than that, love the phone.
I have it how much is it worth now? It's locked to boost it's a beautiful fone screen the cam is great
For the most part I loved my LG G3 and had it for about 2.5 years until the screen started flickering and fading. Now I need to replace it. Is it worth upgrading to G6 or should I look elsewhere?
