LG is planning to release its G6 flagship smartphone before Samsung launches the Galaxy S8 in the following months. The Galaxy Note 7 fiasco may be seen as an advantage for LG.
Samsung is reportedly delaying the release of their Galax S8 smartphone to make sure that it works fine and will have no life-threatening problems. The precaution comes after a considerable percentage of their Galaxy Note 7 products started flaming up and hurting their customers.
LG G6 specs and features have not been revealed yet but it is confirmed that the company will not take the modular approach again. The G5 tried to be an innovative Android smartphone but it did not sell well.
The LG G6 will be released in South Korea on March 10 while an economic smartphone dubbed X300 will also be sold on March 18, Electronic Times has learned. Samsung's Galaxy S8 and the LG G6 are expected to be unveiled at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2017.
Unfortunately, there is no word yet on the LG G6 release date for the international market. It may be more beneficial for LG to launch the phone on all fronts before the Galaxy S8 to make the most out of the sales. The LG G5 was not accepted well when it was launched because of the modular features.
Samsung's Galaxy S8 is expected to be launched around the third week of April, which is more than a month later than the LG G6 release date, GSM Arena reported. The S8 may be released internationally first if LG does not roll out their flagship smartphone by then.
LG G6 specs include a Quad HD screen with a waterproof design despite having a removable battery. The modular capabilities of the G5 will not be carried over as the company learned a lesson the hard way.
