LG launches G6 in India priced at Rs 51,990: Features, specifications and more



Announced during the Mobile World Congress 2017 in February this year, LG has now launched the G6, its latest flagship smartphone, in India. The launch comes just five days after Samsung introduced its Galaxy S8 and S8+ in the country. The LG G6 comes with a price tag of Rs 51,990 and will be sold on Amazon India, as well as offline stores, starting April 25.

Ditching the modular functionality of its predecessor, this one is a single piece of hardware with IP68 certification for being dust and water resistant (for up to 1.5m and up to 30 minutes). It flaunts a 5.7 inch display with 80 per cent body-to-screen ratio. The quad high definition (QHD) display at the front has Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

The rear, too, is made of glass, which has been protected by the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Sculpted from aluminium and glass, the smartphone features rounded corners and narrow bezels. LG also claims that the G6 has passed 14 different military-standard 810G tests, which increases its endurance against accidental drops or rough environment during everyday use.

Although flagship smartphones usually run on latest processors, G6 has Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 quad-core processor. It is paired with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage, and supports expandable memory. It runs on LG UX 6.0 operating system (Android 7.0 Nougat OS) and offers customisable home touch buttons, including notification, cauture+, QSlide and customisable colour setting.

The new phone also comes loaded with additional apps such as Smart Bulletin 2.0 - an information and launching app, LG Health 2.0 - a fitness app, Smart Doctor - a phone diagnosis for improved battery, Capture + for writing and drawing on nearly any screen and save to QuickMemo or gallery.

For imaging, LG has added a dual camera at the rear, which is also protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The rear camera module comprises 13 MP standard angle lens with 71 degree, along with 13 MP wide angle lens with 125 degree, plus auto mode, optical image stabilisation, focus tracking and square camera that divides the UI in two. It can also capture 4k videos. There is also a 5 MP wide angle lens at the front.


For immersive audio experience, LG has added Dolby Vision HDR. The phone packs a non-removable 3300 battery with Type C charging connector port with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0. Connectivity options onboard include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Android Beam, Miracast and more.

How to record Android smartphone screen

There might've been times when a friend or family member asked you for help regarding configuring something on their Android smartphone(s). Maybe, they are not well-versed in technology, maybe they have shifted to Android from another mobile operating system (e.g. iOS) and are thus unfamiliar with it; the reason could be anything. Now, if your friend or family member handed over their smartphone to you so that you can help them out, it'd be easy to do that. But what if they don't want to give their smartphone, or are at some place other than yours? Wouldn't it be great if you could record the entire troubleshooting procedure, step-by step, on your smartphone and then send it as a video to them? And if you wondering this is possible? Yes, it is. You can create a video recording (or screencast) of your Android smartphone's screen, as well as all the actions performed on it (e.g. taps, menu selections), directly from the device itself. All you need is a free ap...

Top Ways to Extend Your iPad’s Battery Life

Even though I don’t use my iPad nearly as much as I did a few years back, it’s still comes in handy on long trips or when I need to distract my kids for a little while. The longer the device can last, the better for me. Apple has a specific time duration that each iPad model should last based on regular usage, but actually reaching that value is quite a task. The reason behind the disconnect is the software. Even though Apple creates great hardware, their software is sorely lacking. iOS, in my opinion, has been getting buggier and slower in each new version. It’s amazing to me that my 64 GB iPhone is constantly running out of space even though I’m using iCloud for storing everything. In addition, there are a whole bunch of iPad models out there right now all with different versions of iOS installed, which is problematic. My iPad Air 2 can be updated to iOS 10, but my iPad 2 can only be updated to iOS 9 and will probably be stuck there forever. In this post, I’ll list out as man...

Tips to take stunning photos using smartphone

Image
Smartphone cameras have seen dramatic improvements, but technology alone won't produce shots that grab attention. That's where the human eye comes in. Here are eight tips to keep in mind when composing that shot, whether of family during the holidays or sights during a vacation. You don't need to own a fancy camera or mess with manual controls. What's the subject? Give people something to latch onto when viewing your photo. As a rule of thumb, close-ups are better. At a party, for instance, avoid wide shots of random people mingling in a room, as the room becomes the subject - and that's boring. Instead, get close-ups of the guest or two who's laughing or singing. The photo is now about people having fun at a party. People mingling can still be part of the shot, but in the background, to give people a sense the party's well attended. The same principle applies to parades: It's better to home in on one or two drummers than on the ent...
