Smartphone Features Bold New Screen Aspect Ratio,

Ergonomic Excellence,
Minimalist Design and Superb Durability

BARCELONA, February
26, 2017 — LG Electronics (LG) today
unveiled the G6 smartphone, the newest smartphone that features a bold new display
format complimented by a cinematic viewing experience, exceptional screen to
body ratio, wide angle camera and more. Designed in response to consumer
feedback and user opinions, the G6 is a back-to-basics approach to
premium smartphones, with a focus on the features consumers want, most
notably a big screen that actually fits in one hand.

The Big Screen That
Actually Fits in Your Hand

The LG G6 comes with a
5.7-inch QHD+ (2,880 x 1,440 resolution) FullVision display, and for the first
time ever in a smartphone, an 18:9 screen aspect ratio. Compared to conventional
16:9 aspect ratio displays, the 18:9 format offers more viewing space and a more
immersive experience when streaming videos and playing games. In a G6 Game Collection promotion for G6
buyers, in-game content with a retail value of up to a total of US$200 for
six games – Temple Run 2, Spider-Man Unlimited, Crossy Road, SimCity BuildIt,
Cookie Jam and Genies & Gems – on Google Play, are offered for free. The
games take full advantage of the
G6’s immersive FullVision display and single-handed ease of use.

More to See, Less to Hold

Even with the large screen featured
on the G6, the smartphone is easy to hold. And unlike other phones with a
similar screen size, the LG G6 fits comfortably in one hand, giving you a big
screen experience without the inconvenience of a big phone. In fact, ergonomics
research teams led by Dr. Andris Freivalds at Pennsylvania State University and
Dr. Ji Yong-gu at Yonsei University tested the LG G6 for stability when holding
the phone, comfort in various postures and actions, as well as muscle fatigue
when using the smartphone for long periods. The LG G6 received the highest marks
in all test categories.

Attractive and Mostly Screen 

Sculpted
from aluminum and glass, which comes in black, platinum and white, the LG G6
features a minimalist design that’s sleek all-round and perfectly smooth to the
touch. The metal frame that wraps around the perimeter of the phone imparts
solidity in style with a soft matte finish and the back is perfectly flat, with
no camera bump to avoid or protect. Complimented by narrow bezels, the upper
bezel was minimized by rearranging the camera, sensor and speaker in a row on
the front upper side. The rounded corners of both the body and display not only
unify the design but also dispersing the impact if the phone is dropped.

                                                                                                          

Transform Your
Mobile Viewing Experience with Dolby Vision

The LG G6 is the first
smartphone to feature Dolby Vision technology. But not only does it support
Dolby Vision, the G6 also supports HDR 10, both of which are standards for High
Dynamic Range (HDR), the picture quality technology which allows for a wider
range of color and luminosity, wherein both the darkest and the brightest areas
are more vivid, revealing greater detail for a truly immersive viewing
experience.

With smartphone screen sizes
getting bigger and the speed of the Internet becoming faster, LG decided to
support two HDR standards for viewers to have access to as much content as
possible. With HDR content from Netflix and Amazon on the rise, watch popular
shows in stunning HDR quality on the LG G6. Amazon will also increasingly
create 18:9 content for a cinematic viewing experience on the 18:9 QHD+
display.

Get More In, Leave Nothing Out

With the LG G6,
you don’t need to ask people in the picture to reposition, cram together or
find another place to stand in order to get everything in, simply choose
between standard and wide angle settings. And with dual 13MP rear cameras, including
a 125-degree lens on the wide angle, the LG G6 captures panoramic shots that
regular phones cameras can’t. The G6 delivers an outstanding and unique camera
experience by creating seamless transitions when zooming in and out between the
wide-angle and standard camera lenses even during 4K video capture. The G6 also
comes with an expanded 100-degree field of view with its 5MP front camera,
which means users can take selfies or wefies without the need for a selfie
stick. Plus, the wide angle camera reduces edge distortion, which makes for
more natural images.

Square Up and Share

And to view selfies,
wefies, wide angle pictures and even the ones in the new Square Camera Mode, recent
LG G6 photos appear in one window in film mode which means users don’t need to
move to their gallery to review them. The G6 provides a Square Camera function which
divides the 18:9 ratio display into two identical squares. The LG G6 can also
take perfectly square photos in 1:1 ratio, ideal for Instagram, Snapchat and
other social media apps. Users can also choose other ratios, such as 4:3, 16:9
and 18:9. Users can also take pictures in 1:1 ratio in one window, while
checking, editing and uploading pictures in another window immediately after shooting.
What’s more, users can create GIFs by combining between 2 and 100 photos from
the gallery.

Built for the
Unexpected

The
LG G6 can go just about anywhere without worry thanks to its IP68 water and
dust resistance that makes it safe to be immersed in up to 1.5 meters of water
for as long as 30 minutes. And you can worry less about accidental drops and other rough environments
during everyday use because the LG G6 has been designed and built to be
dependable even when the going gets rough.

And the LG G6 not only meets
international testing standards but also endures further tests for high
temperatures and nail penetration and uses a proprietary technology that
dissipates heat via an
internal heat pipe, the first in an LG smartphone. And to further disperse heat
inside the unit, LG engineers positioned the components most prone to
overheating as far from each other as possible.

A Helping Voice with
the Google Assistant

“The LG G6 offers users
new visual and manual experiences, as it marries an expanded screen with the
convenience of one-handed use,” said Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics
Mobile Communications Company. “LG will continue to lead smartphone innovation
with a focus on convenience and reliability in order to exceed consumer expectations.”
