G6 - 32 GB - Unlocked GSM - Platinum

Just got this two days ago, so not going to do cartwheels just yet. However, every crucial function is performing as expected so far (you know, like email, texting, phone calls, streaming data, wifi, camera). Also, Android Oreo 8.0 updated successfully without bricking the phone, so that's no small thing. Also, screen resolution is fantastic. I came from the MOTO G5 plus, and was very happy with that screen and skeptical that this one would be noticeably superior, but it is. Got this phone mostly because I wanted a larger screen and NFC, not because the G5 plus was not a really good phone. If I had had the MOTO X4 and not the G5, probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger on this because the x4 has NFC, which is the thing that bugs me most about lower and mid tier phones, most of them don't have or disable NFC, which is obviously more of a marketing ploy than a pure cost decision. The only potential "knock" I'll put on this so far is that this phone tends to get a little "warm", which I will be watching closely over the next few weeks. I had a LG G4 which eventually succumbed to the dreaded "bootloop", and that got not only warm but downright hot, and that was going on right from the start. I don't the same thing is going on here, but we'll see. Anyway, G6 is an impressive piece of work, remains to be seen if it's "reliable". 10/1 Quick update: The "heat dissipation" issue seems to have completely abated and for the time being is no longer a concern, phone is not hot or really even warm to the touch. Interestingly, I had read somewhere else that the phone takes a day or two to kind of "settle in" in terms of heat, which seemed kind of curious and unlikely to me but that seems to be exactly what happened with my phone. All things being equal, this is by far the best buy for a phone on Amazon or anywhere else for that matter. I mean, you can't touch a flagship level phone with this feature set for $379 bucks. 10/8 Update - Still working well, only real "niggle" would be with the battery. It's not awful, but it's far from great, not nearly as "robust" as the Moto G5 plus, which has a crazy awesome battery. I guess when you have a screen as large and demanding as this one, something has to give, and I suppose it's the overall battery life. 11/8 Update - Phone works well, does everything it was "advertised" to do. As somebody who had the LG G2, which was a phone that was pretty universally praised, I was hoping that this phone would come up to that standard, but unfortunately I don't quite think it does. I figured that since this phone was 4 years down the line from the G2, it's performance would be that much "crisper", but surprisingly enough it suffers from some annoying video "stutter" when loading and using some apps. Coming from a Moto G5 plus, I thought that the performance of this phone would be a notch higher, but to be honest the G5 plus "feels" like a faster phone, which to me is quite disappointing. And as I had mentioned in the body of the review, the battery on the G5 plus is far superior to the LG. If I could go back in time, I might have taken a shot with the MOTO Z3 play, there's just something about the G6 that I don't love. It's not "bad", and it is a great looking phone with a nice screen, but it's just not as "crisp" as I would expect a premium phone built in 2017 to be. Final notes: It's a good, not great phone. Bought it here when it was $379, since then it's gone down to $359. It's best feature is it's generously sized, bright and sharp 5.7" display, and has all the flagship level features (800 class Snapdragon, dual cameras, facial recognition, wireless charging, NFC.) that you would expect. However, there is just something about it that prevents me from "loving" this phone, and it's hard to pinpoint. Battery life is only "OK", not nearly as robust as the MOTO line, and the overall performance is not as "snappy" as one would expect a "flagship" level phone should be. My MOTO G5 plus can hang with this phone, and it only has a 625 chip. If I could do it all over, I would have just bought the MOTO X4, because my main gripe with the G5 was that it didn't have the NFC chip. So, my final verdict would be this. Unless you just have to have a 5.7 inch screen, I would go with the MOTO X4 on this site. It's only got a 5.2 inch screen, but that is more than adequate for just about anything, and it has NFC, dual cameras, a very solid Snapdragon 630 and it's $150 less. By far the best value out there right now. Feb 3, 2019 update: Stumbled across a quirk in how the battery reports a "full charge" when it actually it's not. Up until a few weeks ago, I used pull the charger out almost immediately after it reported "100% full". This usually resulted in anywhere from an estimated 27 to 29 hour charge according to the G6. Compared to my MOTO G5 plus which sometimes would start off with a 2 1/2 day charge, I thought that was a little chintzy. However, I experimented by leaving the charger in an extra few hours past the "100%" reporting, and have gotten up to 39 1/2 hours on the report. What that tells me is that the calibration for the reporting is way off, and also would contribute to the fact that many people report that their battery life is poor (It may be due to the fact that they think their battery is 100% charged when in fact it's only 75% or less.

I've had this phone for a year now almost, and I've only recently started having issues (I'm here right now for a replacement since the warranty is a whole year). I was immediately impressed with the battery life, even when playing Pokemon Go, how well apps like Snapchat ran compared to other Android phones once I updated to 8.0.0, the camera quality (which is still impressing me a year later), and how smooth everything runs. Very rarely did I ever have heating issues (maybe once or twice, all I had to do was unplug it), my battery still is great a year later, and never EVER do my apps crash. Only problem really so far is that it keeps complaining about moisture in the USB port, which I've tried to fix by disabling moisture detection in the SVC menu but works only most of the time. Hence, I also have a wireless charger, just in case it acts up. I'm sending it in for a replacement because in the last few months, twice it has been turned on when I wake up in the morning, but absolutely bricked--the screen is black, there are no sounds, charging it does nothing, etc., but I'm sure I'm going to continue to get exclusively LG phones from now on, regardless. There is no better phone manufacturer for the price.

I purchased this device a month or two ago and have no serious complaints so far. A few points worth considering: Pros: 1) Sturdy build quality, I upgraded to this from a nexus 5x and the difference is noticeable. Not quite as good as an iphone or flagship samsung, but very close. 2) Easy to clear out the pre-installed amazon junk. Took me 5 minutes to hide or remove the stuff amazon preloads on this phone and haven't had it crop back up since. 3) Worked with my AT&T cell plan no problem. Like I said I previously was using a nexus 5x. When the G6 arrived I just swapped in the sim card from my old phone and it booted and connected straight away. No problems at all 4) Good battery life. I plug the phone in every night, but more often than not it's still got most of its battery left. On a few occasions I've gone two, even three days without charging and as long as I'm not using it heavily the phone keeps going no problem. Cons: 1) Screen is a little big for my hands. I can barely reach my thumb clear across if I'm trying to use it one handed. 2) Finger print scanner is also the wake/sleep button and it's fast enough that tapping it to check lock screen notifications usually unlocks the phone instead. LG worked around this by allowing you to double tap the screen to wake the phone up and double tap again to sleep it from the lock screen, so over all not a huge issue, but it does take some getting used to

El LG G6 no vendió tanto como LG esperaba cuando salio en 2017, las razones fueron por que Samsung gustó mas al publico con el diseño de su S8, y por que los geeks nos quejábamos que no tenia lo ultimo de lo ultimo en cuanto a procesador. Pero su procesador sigue siendo bastante rápido y se nota la fluidez al momento de realizar tareas rutinarias en el celular. Pero entonces por que me lo compre un año después de que se lanzó sobre todo cuando hay mas opciones en el mercado? Simplemente, la relación calidad-precio es insuperable en estos momentos (primera mitad del 2018) ya que el celular esta barato, y las especificaciones que tiene son y siguen siendo bastante buenas y merecedoras del titulo "flagship" o Buque insignia de LG. Con $8000 solo te alcanza para Mid-rangers, pero con eso me pude comprar este teléfono de gama alta con excelentes especificaciones y excelente cámara. Si lo que no te gusta del LG es su software, Recuerda que Android es altamente personalizable, yo puse un tema del Google Pixel (Play Store) e instale Nova Launcher y el celular se siente muy fluido y rápido. El celular viene con ROM de Telcel y trae su bloatware, pero puedes desactivar estas aplicaciones e incluso desinstalar algunas otras que vienen incluidas como los juegos que incluye Telcel o Facebook App que también viene por defecto. La batería me dura todo el día incluso si me paso horas jugando, muy recomendable y sin problemas, si te da problema de batería prueba desactivando el bloatware. UPDATE: Hay una actualización del teléfono que solo se puede obtener mediante LG Bridge, el software de actualizaciones de LG, solo instala LG Bridge en tu computadora, conecta el teléfono y busca actualizaciones, recibí una actualización que ayuda con el rendimiento y mejora mucho la aplicación de la cámara, recomendado.

El cel llego en excelente estado completamente sellado está muy padre trae todos sus accesorios le coloque mi SIM at&t y sin problemas funcionó

Excelente producto, el celular se siente muy sólido y tiene un software muy limpio y buena cámara, solo espero que lo actualicen a Android 8 😀

Gran equipo a un bien precio. No le pide nada a otros.

La caja venía abierta y el celular súper mal empacado. Es de la compañía verizone pero si funciona en México.
