The LG Q6 offers generally solid performance in a sleek and durable form factor for a reasonable price, whether you buy it using Amazon Prime or not. And it's even more alluring with the loss of loss of Huawei and ZTE in the US, two very strong players in the unlocked market.

The Q6 impresses with its screen, bearing an aspect ratio that still isn't common under €300, and small bezels which make it very easy to use with one hand. It banks on looks that are similar to the flagship G6, at least on one side, and will be the perfect choice for someone who prioritizes that above all.

LG Q6 review

Unofficially titled the “LG G6 mini”, the Q6 is an impressive midrange phone on its own. While it lacks certain flagship features and annoyingly, a fingerprint sensor, the FullVision display and rear-facing camera are stand-out inclusions that you probably won’t find elsewhere for this cheap.

LG Q6 Review: Prettiest budget phone with a mid-range price
Source: Mobile Syrup Archive.org version
The LG Q6 is a beautiful device and looks like a modern day flagship, but it doesn't feel like one. During my time with the phone, I was constantly reminded that I was using a mid-range device with its lack of notification light and fingerprint sensor, its over-sharpening camera, its mediocre battery and easily scratchable plastic finish.

LG Q6 — The Australian Review
Source: Ausdroid Archive.org version
Let’s face it, most people do not WANT to buy a $349 phone but do it out of necessity. Not everyone can afford the $1000-$1500 required for a flagship in 2017 and thus there needs to be options for consumers at all price points. With the Q6 LG are trying to bring as many of their flagship features to their, well they say mid-range but I will call $349 low-range, devices.

LG Q6
Source: Tech Smart Archive.org version
When we took a closer look at the Q6 in late August, we pondered whether this mid-range device could in fact serve as a G6 mini of sorts. Following our time reviewing the Q6, it sadly is not the case. While the specifications of the Q6 will stand you in good stead for now, we don't think it will be the case one year down the line, particularly when more powerful mid-range phones are on offer.

If you are more interested in technical specs, then the Samsung J7 seems like a worthy choice, because on the paper, it does look more powerful – but also bigger and heavier. Note that the J7 has only 16GB of storage, so you may want to look at micro-SD cards. Finally, if you want less pre-loaded apps, and a leaner interface maybe the Nokia 6 would be a fine choice.

70% LG Q6 Review: Full Vision for Masses
Source: The Techy Archive.org version
The new LG Q6 fits perfectly into the pocket of mid-range buyers at Rs 15,999. It clearly justifies the price tag with the kind of specifications it has to offer. The device lags on multitasking, wish they could have added some more RAM in a phone for better performance in multitasking! For people on a budget, this is the closest they could get to getting flagship look-alike at very affordable price.

The LG Q6 is a great mid range smartphone. I’ve always loved the LG offerings (other than the modular thing they did) and think they make practical phones that do the job and look the part. Plus, one handed texting friends, I’ve missed this!

70% LG Q6 review: Honey, I shrunk the G6
Source: India Today Archive.org version
The LG Q6, for all intents and purposes, can be considered as a mini G6. The mid-level Q6 looks every bit as futuristic as LG's flagship G6. It feel as good, if not better, and is built from scratch to take a beating (although that plastic back is susceptible to scratches) something that not a lot of phones at around Rs 15,000 can really brag about. Its 18:9 Full Vision display, meanwhile, adds a third dimension to the Q6, much like the G6. LG has even gone on and added the same set of software gimmicks to it, to make that unusual aspect ratio count, as the flagship G6. Unlike the G6, however, the Q6 costs just Rs 14,990.

In the end, the Q6 is beauty that is skin deep, which is a shame because we really wanted it to be good. If LG were to make a version with more power under the hood, we would love to give it another shot.

Source: Android Authority Archive.org version
We cannot recommend the LG Q6, however. The lack of a fingerprint reader, unimpressive cameras, and other minor issues just make it tough to justify over competing options. Unless you really want a near bezel-less display for a cheap price, you will probably be happier with something else.

Source: Gadgets Now Archive.org version
Based on our analysis, the LG Q6 has several factors that work in its favour and some that don't. It has a beautiful display with wide 18:9 aspect ratio which we've seen with the flagship LG G6. The body is compact and light-weight while the battery is one of the most appealing corners in the device. The camera too works flawlessly across the board.

70% LG Q6 review: Full vision display at a budget pricing
Source: The Indian Express Archive.org version
The highlight of the LG Q6 is the display and the design. But as I said the specifications, including the Qualcomm 435 processor, battery life, make this appear to be a more expensive proposition for most people. If you want a more compact phone with a unique display, then the LG Q6 is an option to consider. However, those looking for a blazing performance or a great camera at this budget should probably examine options in the market.

LG Q6 Review: Futuristic concept, not-so-futuristic implementation!
Source: The Mobile Indian Archive.org version
To sum up, the LG Q6 comes with a surprisingly compact form factor and the FullVision display does almost do a decent job. However, other than this, the overall performance of the smartphone is not matchable with the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Moto G5 Plus, Honor 6X and more, as each of one of them comes loaded with better hardware arsenal and have proved their mettle in the market.

72% LG Q6 Review: Future-proof Looks, Dated Specs
Source: Tech PP Archive.org version
There are no second thoughts about the fact that the LG Q6 is one very good looking device. But priced at Rs. 14,999, it faces some tough competition from the likes of Xiaomi, Moto, Lenovo, Huawei, and even Samsung. Apart from the 18:9 screen ratio, there is nothing particularly outstanding in the device. The camera is decent, the battery is average, and the overall performance is not that great. You get a similarly specced device (minus that display but plus a larger battery), the Xiaomi Redmi 4 under Rs. 10,000, and if we move into the Q6’s price range, then the likes of the Lenovo K8 Note, the Redmi Note 4, the Honor 6X and the Moto G5 Plus start making their presence felt, more than matching it in all departments other than that display. The Q6 definitely looks future proof, but its performance and price hark more to a period of the past.

LG Q6 Review
Source: Fone Arena Archive.org version
Overall, LG Q6 is an above average device packing nothing special in it if not for FullVision display. With Q6, LG has tried too hard to make a dent in the mid-range market but failed. At a price of Rs. 14,990, the LG Q6 lacks fingerprint, has a scratch prone plastic back and average camera. Unless and until, if you don’t mind spending Rs. 15,000 for a phone with a large screen in a compact size, you can go for LG Q6. If not, you have lots of options including, Moto G5 Plus, Honor 6X, Lenovo P2 and more.

The 18:9 screen aspect ratio is sure to become popular in the smartphone world, and the LG Q6 looks futuristic despite its value pricing, which could be a major selling point. Even a few of years down the line, the Q6 should still look modern. It isn't the most powerful smartphone in its class so if brute force is what you’re looking for, then you’d be better served by the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Review), Honor 6X (Review) or even the Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime (Review).

LG’s big screen FHD+ budget phone
Source: Gadgetguy Archive.org version
It has Bluetooth 4.2 (no mention of NFC), and 802.11b/g/n WiFi, 2.4GHz only. It supports WiFi direct and can provide a WiFi hotspot. The phone supports the common 4G bands. No mention is made of super high performance LTE specs, so I guess it’s pretty much standard on that front. The socket at the bottom of the phone is Micro-B USB.

At its price of €200 in India and at the lower prices in the UK and Australia, we can easily overlook the phone’s flaws (well, it’s hard to forgive the lack of a fingerprint scanner…) and blame it all on the cost, but at the €350 full retail price in Europe, there are far better options out there.

LG G6 vs LG Q6: Price, design and specs

We really need to know the prices of the LG Q6 models to see how it competes with it's bigger brother. The price will need to be fairly cheap to make it worth losing various key features as the G6 is already available for a lot less than the £649 launch figure.

Model: The LG Q6 is a mid-range smartphone which took many features from the company’s flagship smartphone. Alike the LG G6, it features the familiar tall aspect ratio, a nearly bezel-free design, and commendable build quality that yields a smooth feeling in the hand. Two features really stick out as valid reasons to buy the Q6: its taller aspect ratio screen and the cameras. LG’s user interface scales well with most apps and is an awesome screen for watching movies. Its cameras, while sometimes tough to capture a great moment with, are capable of some surprisingly high-quality results. The Q6 calls out to the multimedia fans with its 5.5-inch FullVision display that pushes away bezels in favor for more screen real estate. Unlike most phones, this one has an 18:9 display with a resolution of 2,160 x 1,080. This means that it is twice as tall as wide. While this doesn’t impact general use all that much, the extra bit of screen makes watching movies and playing games a bit more immersive on the Q6. On the other hand, most videos and games aren’t designed for this size. Hence, you might end up watching youtube videos with black bars on the both sides. The LG features a single 13 MP rear-facing camera, which is amazingly capable in the right hands and in favorable lighting conditions. LG’s camera app is fast to boot from the lock screen and though it doesn’t always produce great results, it’s one of the better midrange cameras out there. For selfies, there’s a wide-angle 5 MP snapper at the front. The quality of the photos is good enough to be instantly shared on social without much editing.

Under the hood, there is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 SoC paired with 3 GB of RAM. The overall performance on the Q6 isn’t something you’d want to experience on a phone with a great display. Its processor and RAM can’t really handle all the bloatware on the phone. However, it is good enough for average users. The Q6 runs on the latest Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box wrapped under the LG UI 5.0. The UI is heavily customized, with bright colored theme packs and no app drawer. There is, however, an option to download Home (UX 4.0) from the settings menu, which brings back the app drawer. The phone features 32 GB on-board storage and the storage capacity can be expanded with a microSD card. Fortunately, LG has opted for a separate slot for the microSD card, and not the hybrid SIM slots offered by several Chinese companies. The device supports 4G LTE on both SIM cards. During testing, call quality and volume levels were satisfactory. The LG Q6 comes with a 3,000mAh battery, which is a fairly modest capacity for a phone of this size and price. Like most phones available now, the Q6 can last a day of use without problems. However, multimedia or Twitter fans will likely finish their day at the 20 % battery charge level. The Q6 offers what most mid range phones do not. It comes with a great screen and camera, yet basic hardware. Hence it is suitable for users who do not require performance but would still love to have a good looking phone and watch high quality videos.

5.50":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

LG:

LG Electronics Inc. is a subsidiary of LG Group. It is a South Korean company and was founded as Goldstar Co, Ltd, in 1958. The group offers products in the fields of information technology, consumer electronics and mobile communications, and home appliances. LG Electronics is the world's third largest home appliance manufacturer. As a notebook manufacturer, LG only became known to a wider audience in the German-speaking market in 2005. After a few years, LG largely withdrew from the laptop sector. The product range includes OLED, LED/LCD and plasma TVs, home theater systems, Blu-ray players as well as audio and video players. 

72.17%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
