As the first in the Q series to be announced, the LG Q6 features some of the most desired innovations from LG\u2019s premium G6 smartphone and packages them in a sleek, stunning body highlighted by its FullVision display with minimized bezels. The Q6 family consists of the Q6+, Q6 and Q6\u03b1. The three variants cater to different user groups in terms of memory and storage: the Q6+ comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM, the base Q6 delivers 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage and the most affordably-priced Q6\u03b1 comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB of ROM.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, you&#8217;ll most likely mistake the Q6 for the G6, which is not surprising considering how much design DNA these handsets share. It&#8217;s when you really look at the Q6 that you&#8217;ll notice the differences, it has a slightly smaller display than the G6 &#8211; which is 5.7 inches compared to the Q6&#8217;s 5.5 inches &#8211; and the Q6 only has one rear facing camera as well as no fingerprint scanner.<\/p>\n<p>LG has not confirmed whether the Q6 has an IP68 rating and unlike the G6 which has a glass back, the Q6 has a &#8220;metal frame.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As expected, the Q6 carries on LG\u2019s heritage of great smartphone cameras. The smartphone incorporates a 100-degree wide angle selfie camera that allows shutterbugs to include a large group of friends and family in the shot without effort. The camera\u2019s improved LG UX 6.0 takes full advantage of the 18:9 aspect ratio of the FullVision display. Square Camera Mode makes it easy to \u201cshare your squares\u201d or create photo collages using multiple square images.<\/p>\n<p>LG South Africa has confirmed that the Q6 will indeed be coming to South Africa but no pricing or release date have been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Specifications:<sup>\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chipset: Qualcomm\u00a0Snapdragon 435 Mobile Platform<\/li>\n<li>Display: 5.5-inch 18:9 FHD+ FullVision Display (2160 x 1080 \/ 442ppi)<\/li>\n<li>Memory:<br \/>\nQ6+: 4GB RAM \/ 64GB ROM<br \/>\nQ6: 3GB RAM \/ 32GB ROM<br \/>\nQ6\u03b1: 2GB RAM \/ 16GB ROM<\/li>\n<li>Camera: Rear 13MP Standard Angle \/ Front 5MP Wide Angle<\/li>\n<li>Battery: 3,000mAh (embedded)<\/li>\n<li>Operating System: Android 7.1.1 Nougat<\/li>\n<li>Size: 142.5 x 69.3 x 8.1mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 149g<\/li>\n<li>Network: LTE \/ 3G \/ 2G<\/li>\n<li>Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b, g, n \/ Bluetooth 4.2 \/ NFC \/ USB Type-B 2.0<\/li>\n<li>Colors:<br \/>\nQ6+: Astro Black \/ Ice Platinum \/ Marine Blue<br \/>\nQ6: Astro Black \/ Ice Platinum \/ Mystic White \/ Terra Gold<br \/>\nQ6\u03b1: Astro Black \/ Ice Platinum \/ Terra Gold<\/li>\n<li>Other: Face Recognition \/ Google Assistant \/ Square Camera \/ Steady Record \/ FM Radio<em><sup>*\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><em>Specifications may vary depending on the particular market.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LG&#8217;s G6 flagship is one of the new breed of smartphones leading the bezel-less revolution, but so far, we&#8217;ve only seen this gorgeous displays in high-end devices.
