El LG Q6 It has already been officially unveiled. And in fact, not only has the LG Q6 been presented, but three versions of this smartphone have been unveiled. This is the new mid-range mobile phone with display without bezels.
LG Q6, a mid-range with a screen without bezels
The new LG Q6 It is a smartphone similar to the LG G6, but it is not a flagship, not even a high-end mobile. However, it also has a display without bezels. In this case, it is a 5,5-inch screen with a resolution of 2.160 x 1.080 pixelsA resolution that surpasses Full HD, because it is actually a screen with a ratio 18:9 (2:1)Until now, all the phones launched with a bezel-less screen were high-end smartphones. However, this new LG Q6 is a mid-range smartphone.
The design minimizes the bezels and rounds the corners of the screen, making the front panel look mostly panelThe body integrates a 7000 series aluminum frameVirtual on-screen buttons and flat surfaces on the front and back improve grip. Approximate dimensions of 142,5 x 69,3 x 8,1 mm and a weight of 149 gIt is especially convenient to use with one hand.
Unlike the higher-end models, this one lacks IP68 water and dust resistance; LG mentions military-grade durability testing for the chassis, without specifying protocols. There's also no fingerprint sensor, a shortcoming that's somewhat compensated for by... facial recognition integrated.
Technical characteristics of the LG Q6
The LG Q6 has a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 435, which is a really entry-level processor. For instance, is present in the Moto G5The Moto G5 Plus already has an improved processor. The new LG Q6 has a 13 megapixel cameraand with a 5-megapixel front camera, as well as a 3.000 mAh battery.
To put performance into context, this chipset integrates eight 53 GHz Cortex-A1,4 cores (28 nm) and Adreno 505 GPU. In daily use it is sufficient for messaging, networking and multimediaIn demanding games, it may show occasional drops in fluidity and light warm-up on the left side. The standard model's memory is 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB storage, expandable via microSD.
In connectivity, it bets on LTE Cat 6, Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC y FM radioOne detail to keep in mind is that it uses microUSB instead of USB-C. There's no fingerprint reader, but there is a facial unlocking fast (less secure than a fingerprint) and the Google Assistant.
There are three versions of the LG Q6, as we already said, but they will be versions with different units of RAM and internal memory. We will have a LG Q6, LQ Q6α, And a LG Q6 +. The LG Q6 will be the standard, while the LG Q6α will be something more basic, and the LG Q6 + will be the highest level.
El LG Q6α, which would also be the cheapest, would have 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. In reality, these are almost technical characteristics of an entry-level smartphone. If its price were of a very cheap mobile, it could be a good buy.
El LG Q6 will be the standard. This mobile will have 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memoryThese are standard technical specifications for mid-range phones. However, this phone will likely come with a price tag somewhat higher than smartphones like the Moto G5, which, while having similar technical specifications, will be cheaper. After all, the The LG Q6 is almost like an LG G6 Mini..
And finally, there would be the LG Q6 +. This would be the highest level mobile, having 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. However, it is most likely that the three mobiles are in a price range of about 100 euros. That is, this LG Q6 + would not cost much more than 100 additional euros to the price of the LG Q6α.
In any case, the price of these smartphones has not been confirmed, and their arrival is planned with phased deployment in various markets, including the European market.
FullVision 18:9 display in the mid-range
The 5,5-inch FullVision display and FHD+ resolution (2.160 x 1.080) That's the selling point. The elongated format adds more visible content Without increasing the phone's width, it facilitates multitasking (splitting the view into two squares) and improves the experience with apps and networks. Color reproduction is notable for its segment, although the brightness outdoors could be improved compared to higher-end panels.
There is no compatibility with Dolby Vision and HDR (reserved for premium models), and the glass features Gorilla Glass 3 protection, sufficient for everyday use in this range.
Cameras and software features
The main chamber of 13 SM With an f/2.2 aperture, it delivers results commensurate with its price in good lighting; however, sharpness drops and darkens somewhat in complex scenes. The front camera is... 5 MP with 100Âş wide angleIdeal for group selfies. In video, it records... 1080p / 30fps without optical stabilization, with limited software correction.
The camera app integrates square modes which take advantage of the 18:9 aspect ratio to preview and shoot simultaneously, in addition to voice-activated shooting (words like "cheese," "whiskey," or any term with the /i/ sound). Regarding the system, LG customizes Android with LG UX To adapt interfaces to the elongated format, draw the buttons on the screen and add utilities such as Smart doctor to optimize performance and space. Google Assistant It is integrated.
Performance, connectivity and autonomy
The Snapdragon 435 prioritizes the efficiency and connectivity over raw power. Compared to higher-end platforms (like the 600 series), there is a noticeable difference. more limited fluency It struggles with intensive multitasking and 3D gaming, but it performs well in everyday use. The battery life... 3.000 mAh It offers a typical day of mixed use; there is no fast charge declared. LG emphasizes more than 20 tests internal safety features, such as heat resistance or penetration.
In terms of physical attributes, it maintains the 3,5 mm jack and FM radioDual SIM compatibility depends on the market. The overall focus of the Q6 is clear: premium design and screen in the mid-range, with balanced specifications and some cutbacks compared to the high-end.
For those who value a manageable formatWith a modern screen and a thoughtful design, the LG Q6 is a solid proposal in its range. For users who prioritize power, fast charging, or fingerprint biometrics, it's advisable to consider alternatives from Qualcomm's 600 series or models with USB-C.
