LG G6 India Review: Flagship Smartphones Can Be Great Value For Money Too!

by Rohit Khurana • May 3, 2017

LG is in tough spot. Its smartphone division has not been able to avoid failure for some time now. The G3 was a sign of things we could expect from LG. It was a nice smartphone with clean design and powerful specs. However, it did not find many takers. Then came the G4 with a new design and some old specs but a stellar performer nevertheless. However, even then it could not find many buyers. The less I talk about the G5, the better. On the face of it, the modular concept sounds really great. However, LG’s implementation saw people running away from a modular smartphone. This brings me to the G6. What is this device all about? Can LG now look at profitability with this device? Should you buy it? Allow me to answer those questions in this LG G6 India review.

Look closely at the chin for the LG logo.
