Dropping the modular design and introducing the unique Full Vision display, next to a full-metal unibody with protection from water and dust seem to have been smart choices since 400,000 G6 units have been pre-ordered in South Korea in just four days.
Last year was tough for LG, since its two high-end products, namely the LG V10 and LG G5, failed to meet the expectations of the company's heads and shareholders. Now, the new LG flagship is already official, and it looks like the G6 is what the company's mobile business needed to get back in the game.
LG G6 made its debut last month, at this year's Mobile World Congress trade show that took place in Barcelona. The strongest selling points of this flagship are its 5.7-inch, 18:9 ratio screen that LG decided to name Full Vision, the dual 13 MP rear camera setup, as well as the metal unibody design that is compliant with the IP68 and MIL-STD-810G standards.
According to LG, no less than 400,000 G6 units have been pre-ordered in South Korea in four days. However, the company's officials declined to unveil the global G6 pre-order figures. Pre-ordering customers receive free cases and a one-year screen replacement service.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
