BARCELONA, Spain and
NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Get the new LG
G6™ on the network rated No. 1 among U.S.-based
wireless companies in overall network performance for the seventh
consecutive testing period in RootMetrics' latest
RootScore® Report. Coming this spring, Verizon will
carry LG's flagship G6 smartphone, unveiled today at Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona.
The latest edition to the LG G-series features a massive 5.7"
screen in a compact body that's easy to hold. And, unlike other
phones with similar screen sizes, this one fits comfortably in one
hand, allowing you to have a big screen experience without the
inconvenience of a big phone. Add Verizon Unlimited, an updated
camera, enhanced durability and wireless charging, and you have a
smartphone that's a perfect fit for your on-the-go lifestyle.
The big screen that fits in your hand
What sets the LG G6 apart from other phones is its ability to
house a large display in a small body, which gives you more screen
size without turning it into a phablet. The G6 strikes a perfect
balance between the LG V20 and its predecessor, the LG G5, while
maintaining the usable screen size of the former. The result is a
sculpted aluminum and plastic phone that is almost all screen and
super easy to hold.
The large screen gives you more room to do everything you can do
with unlimited data. Preview photos before you send them, scan
texts and quickly browse websites without worrying about overages.
The large screen also lets you take full advantage of the improved
multi-tasking features available in Android Nougat. In addition,
the 18:9 aspect ratio, QHD+ resolution and Dolby Vision offer a
superior picture quality for a more authentic cinematic viewing
experience,* perfect for streaming movies.
Capture the bigger picture
Capture more of your life with the LG G6's dual 13MP rear
cameras. The wide-angle camera has a 125° lens to capture panoramic
shots that regular smartphone cameras can't. The standard camera
delivers sharp details and optical image stabilization so you don't
have to worry about blurry images. Also, effortlessly switch
between the two rear cameras with a smooth zoom transition. This is
a particularly great feature for the budding cinematographers that
want more variation in their shots.
The wide-angle rear and front cameras allow you to capture
photos and videos with a wider perspective – meaning there's room
for more friends in your group shots and bigger landscapes in your
travel photos. Once you have those great photos, Verizon Unlimited
lets you upload them to your favorite social media sites or share
them with friends quickly, thanks to the blazingly fast speeds of
Verizon 4G LTE.
Additional camera features include an18:9 camera roll display
that saves time by letting you quickly review photos while you're
lining up the next shot, four different square camera modes for
Instagram fans and the ability to combine two photos into one or
create 2x2 photo/video grids to share with friends. Even better,
you can use the multiple cameras to capture wide and tight shots
simultaneously.
Built for the unexpected
A stunning display and all those brilliant cameras won't do you
much good if you are afraid to use them. Luckily, the LG G6 was
designed to be dependable even when the going gets rough. It passed
14 different military-standard 810G tests,** meaning you can take
the LG G6 just about anywhere thanks to its water and dust
resistant shell. It has an IP68 rating, so it is sealed against
dust and can be safely immersed in up to one meter of water for up
to 30 minutes.
