The Cases show the design of the LG G6 with Snapdragon 821-soc – TechTastic

The water-resistant LG G6 is on 26 February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona announced, but now we know, thanks to multiple leaks is exactly how the phone will look like. Today, there are again a number of cases, discovered for the LG G6, in which the design clearly visible.

Cases show design

A product page on Amazon.de seems to suggest that the LG G6 in the colors silver and black will be offered; last Friday was the back of the G6 already spotted in the black. The design is further consistent with what we have to date of the upcoming flagship have seen. LG has said goodbye to the modular design of the G5, and choose this time for a metal housing at the back, a dual camera and a finger print scanner. The bottom consists of a single speaker and a usb c-terminal for connecting the G6 to load.

Less fast than Galaxy S8

in Addition, there appeared also a benchmark of an unknown phone from LG with the model number H871. Here it concerns in all probability the LG G6 and the benchmark shows that the device is indeed powered by the Snapdragon 820/821-soc from Qualcomm, instead of the newer, faster and more efficient Snapdragon 835-soc. There is still 4GB of memory available and the software is based on Android 7.0 Nougat.

Samsung is reportedly the only manufacturer in the first half of 2017 that a smartphone brings to the market with the Snapdragon 835, presumably the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus. The South Korean company is responsible for the production of the new chip and would directly own all the chips have bought out, which LG, HTC, and Sony it for now, have to do with the older Snapdragon 820/821.

Screen should make a difference

LG would, therefore, want to distinguish with an all-new 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 2880 x 1440 pixels (564 pixels per inch). The screen has a unique aspect ratio of 18:9 and this ensures that the G6 is narrower and longer than smartphones with a 16:9 screen. In addition, the screen is thinner and lighter, with a thickness of less than 1mm and a 20% smaller bezel on the top and 10% on the sides. Another improvement is the visibility in direct (sun)light. By the top layer to adjust the screen is not only more visible, but also the energy consumption by 30 percent.
