LG G6 SIM Free Review – Is it Any Good?

LG G6 SIM Free Phones

Over the years LG has released some absolutely stunning flagship phones as well as phones in other categories. Now they have released a brand-new LG G6 SIM free. Does this new phone live up to the previous releases? This question and more will be answered here.

The Design

G6 DesignThis phone looks very good from the front. What really makes this phone good is the fact that it has a very thin bezel and more display screen visible.

Thanks to this very thin bezel, this phone is actually slightly smaller than the LG G5 SIM free even though the display screen is slightly bigger on this newer version. The metal body of this phone really helps in getting this phone a premium look and the phone feels very sturdy as well.

From the front is where this phone really looks good, unfortunate the back does look a little outdated and yet again they have put the power button on the back which is annoying.

The Display Screen

The LG G6 SIM free has a bigger display screen the previous model, you now get a 5.7-inch display screen that has ultra-high-definition resolution of 1440 x 2880 pixels, display screen also has an aspect ratio of 18.9, not all games and videos work on this aspect ratio yet, but when you do find ones that do then you can really see the benefits of the display screen on this phone.
Visuals look very good on display screen. Colours are very vivid as well is being sharp and detail shows through nicely. Whether you are viewing pictures or watching video the display screen makes these tasks of pleasure.

The Camera

This phone comes with a dual camera. They are both 13-megapixel cameras and one is your regular camera where is the other one is a wide angled lens which is really great for capturing larger, wider images close-up. The front facing camera is 5 megapixels and it also has a wide angled lens which is great for taking selfies with groups of friends.

Performance

Although it doesn’t have all the latest hardware specs such as the latest Snapdragon 835 processor, this phone still runs pretty smooth and will not disappoint with performance. This phone has the Snapdragon 821 processor which is quad-core 2×2.35 GHz Kryo & 2×1.6 GHz Kryo CPU. You also get 4 GB of RAM which is more than enough to help with multitasking.

Storage Space

Storage space fills up fast these days thanks to the ability to take extremely high-quality pictures, videos as well as having millions of apps to choose from and that is why it is important to have adequate storage space. The LG G6 SIM free has a 32 GB model and a 64 GB model with the option to add a microSD card for additional storage.

Battery Life

Unfortunately, battery life isn’t very good for Smartphones in general and the LG G6 battery life is standard for a Smartphone. You can probably get about days’ worth of average use out of it before the phone requires a charge. The battery in the G6 is better than the previous model’s battery so LG has slightly upgraded it.

Verdict

This is a very good flagship phone but it is let-down by using some older hardware like the Snapdragon 821 processor instead of the latest Snapdragon 835. There is no doubt this phone looks good, but with Samsung doing something different with its flagship phones the LG G6 SIM free could start to look dated later on this year and throughout next year until the G7 is released. If money is not an issue then is definitely worth waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S8 but if you’re looking for a flagship phone that is in a lower price bracket than current flagship phone are in, than G6 SIM free is a good choice.

One of the biggest benefits of Smartphones these days is GPS along with a sat nav type app. No more do have to spend hours and hours guessing your way to a location, asking for directions or printing a map of the Internet. Simply type in the address in your phone and it doesn’t matter if you’re walking or driving, the phone will get you to your destination within the shortest possible time without any guessing on your part.

The next benefit is Skype for your phone. There is nothing like seeing a face while speaking to a loved one that you haven’t seen in a while. It just makes that connection a bit more emotional. Now thanks to smartphones and the Skype app this is now possible.

Another benefit of the modern-day phone is being able to record in HD. When camera phones first came out being able to record was nice, however when it came time to seeing the video on your phone all you could see were big pixels which ruined what you had recorded. With modern-day technology not only can you record in HD but you can also see what you have recorded in HD thanks to HD resolution screens.

So you go, there some of the benefits of the modern-day phone that are beneficial to anyone of any age.

Understanding The Features on Your New Smartphone

 

smartphone features

When choosing a new Smartphone the options can seem quite overwhelming at times and it doesn’t help with the endless options available on the market. These days new phones are coming out faster than ever before and these new phones have many new features which the average person has never heard of before.

Because of these new features, how can the average person know which phone is right for them as there will be some people who don’t know what features they need?

In this article, we will look at some of the important features, so you know what they are and hopefully, if they are right for you or not.

The Camera

The camera is the biggest feature of any phone, the camera itself has many features which you need to look into so this is the first place to start. Firstly, do you use the phone a lot and how important is the picture quality?

If it is important then is important to get a high megapixel camera. Now depending on your budget, you may be limited by this, but make sure you get the best megapixel camera money can buy.

You will also need to look at the phone memory because the higher the megapixels the more space it will take up on the phone. Some phones come with a microSD slot and you really want to make sure the phone you’re purchasing has this as you will be up to store much more files than if you only have internal storage.

Another important feature of the camera is the flash, some phones don’t have a flash but many do come with LED flash. Going back to the megapixels, do not buy a phone that has less than five megapixels as you will be extremely disappointed with the picture quality. Also, bear in mind the camera acts as a camcorder too, so you want to make sure your phone captures video in HD and the very minimum HD resolution you to go for a 720p and if you can get full 1080p HD as this will give you the best video quality.

The Display Screen

The display screen is another important feature. These days people like to watch videos and show other people their photos on their phone and for this reason the display screen is extremely important. Ideally you want to get the phone with HD resolution and the minimum HD resolution you should go for is 720p HD, ideally, you want full 1080p HD for the best picture quality.

Another important feature is the pixel density, the higher the pixel density the better the picture quality. The size of the screen will play an important role too as the minimum you should really look for a smartphone these days is 4 inches but the ideal screen sizes is 5 inches and anything bigger than that you’re starting to look in the phablet phone range.

The Battery

Battery life is an extremely important feature. Unfortunately, Smartphones these days, in general, come with poor battery life and on average you can expect a days use before a charge required. So when you are thinking of buying a phone it is extremely important you look at the battery life. Now there are some new phones that are being released onto the market which provide up to 2 days of use before a charge is required and if you can, you should go for one of these. But if the phone you’re looking at gives you less than a day’s use, you will be very frustrated by your phone as you will be one of those people that constantly needs to charge their phone and this will become more hassle in the long run.

CPU and RAM

And this is probably the most important feature which is the processor and RAM. If your phone is lacking in this department you would experience lots of lag and you’ll find that your apps run slow and if you’re a gamer, you will be left frustrated with poor RAM and processor. When it comes to RAM get a phone that has at least 1 GB of RAM and with the processor, try to get something that is over 2 GHz quad core processor. This should be enough to get you by but obviously, if you want future proof your phone so go for the highest available RAM and processor

Phone Connectivity

Another important feature is the connectivity features of the phone. Have a look at all connectivity options are available to you, does the phone have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 4G, NFC and so on. Be sure that your phone gives you a range of connectivity options.

These are just some important features to look out for when you’re buying a phone. Be sure to always do your research on any phone you plan to purchase. Once you know what you want in the phone it becomes easier to purchase the right phone that you will be more than happy with. So remember to keep these tips in mind with your next phone purchase.
