Another render of LG‘s next generation flagship, the LG G6 has again appeared, originating from South Korea. The renders is no different from the first one which leaked earlier on, just that the device is captured from a different angle on this one. Specifically, the device is shot from the side on this render which happens to be the second photo of the G6 we are getting but it isn’t much different from the first one.

The LG G6 comes with a design which is markedly different from all what LG had done in the past. The device in question comes in silver with a blue color scheme around the display. There is a SIM card slot at the right side and the fused antenna band lines are also visible. The G6 will feature an all-metal body and is said to have a near bezel-less display with a screen to bezel ratio of up to 90%. Since the SIM slot sits at the right, the volume rocker will likely be at the left side.

In addition the design shows the device with well chamfered edges and there are words that the G6 would be water resistant. It is said to come as a 5.7-inch device which would cram a Snapdragon 835 chip inside. There are also rumors of a lower Snapdragon 821 chip onboard and this seems to have been corroborated by Forbes in a new report. The LG G6 is expected to be launched on February 26 at MWC 2017 and when that happens we’ll get the true picture.

LG has revealed that it put safety as a priority while developing the flaship G6 which will hit the market any moment from now. According to the Korea Herald, the company has been imlementing new technology and performing tests that would eventually improve the safety and quality of the G6.

The company had earlier confirmed that it has employed heat pipes made up of copper that can dissipate the internal heat inside its smartphones. It is the same technology that is used in the batteries of PCs and notebooks that decreases the internal temperature by 6 to 10 percent. Moreover, LG has been designed the G6 in such a way that the internal components that heat up remain as far apart as possible to prevent the concentration of heat at one place.

The Korean company did take things a bit further by conducting battery-heat-exposure tests with the device being subjected to temperatures up to 15% higher than the standardized temperature set by the US and Europe. The battery is also said to undergo tests like piercing with a sharp nail, and having heavy objects dropped on it from a high altitude. They also aim to subject the device to a new life-endurance test like repeated drops, and exposure to extreme power voltages, all in a bid to ensure the G6’s battery is very safe. Such tests could also reveal any defects on the smartphone and that would be nipped in the bud before the device is unveiled.

The LG G5 did not attract many buyers mainly because of its hefty price tag. Moreover, customers had to spend additional money to buy different accessories for it. Since the LG G5 is dubbed as a failure by the critics, the South Korean company may not want to commit the same mistake again this year.

Recent rumors have hinted that the LG G6 would be adopting a water-resistant chassis made up of metal and glass. It may not feature a removable battery.

The LG G6 is expected to sport a flat 5.3-inch quad HD display. Like major flagships of 2017, the G6 is also pegged to be powered by Snapdragon 835 SoC. The SoC would be supported by 6 GB of RAM.

The smartphone would be equipped with dual camera system enabled with dual-LED flash on its rear panel. It will come with support for Bokeh effect. The rear panel will house a fingerprint reader that may double up as a power button.

The bottom side of the smartphone may house a USB Type-C and the topside is expected to feature a 3.5 mm audio jack. It may carry support for wireless charging. For added security, it may also include an iris scanner.

LG G6 to Arrive Earlier than Samsung Galaxy S8

The LG G series flagships are one of the major rivals of Samsung’s Galaxy S series flagships. In the past years, Galaxy S series smartphones have always launched earlier than LG G series phones.

The LG G5 that was unveiled in February this year was available for purchase in April in the U.S. However, it seems that the LG G6 would be available for purchase earlier than Galaxy S8.

LG is expected to announce the LG G6 flagship at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in February and make it available for buying soon after its launch. Rumors have it that the Samsung Galaxy S8 release date has been pushed to April which indicates LG G6 would be available in the market one month prior to S8.
