LG G6 specs and features may include a glass panel and wireless charging to be at par with other smartphones in the market.
Korean news agency ETNews reported that the upcoming smartphone will completely ditch the plastic casing of the predecessors of the device in favor of 2.5D glass panel, which takes up the entire phone. LG used plastic material until LG G4 before switching to metal casing with LG G5.
The report added that the smartphone will be water-resistant. LG has not adopted the water-resistant feature yet on its flagship smartphone. This is quite unfortunate since most of the handsets in the market are IP-68 certified or water-resistant.
According to Android Headlines, rumor has it that LG G6 will pack an OLED screen display as previous reports claimed the handset will support Google's Daydream. According to Google's specifications, it requires OLED display in order for this feature to work. Moreover, the smartphone will pack 4K pixel resolution that will enhance the VR experience, which is hip nowadays.
Under the hood, LG G6 is reported to pack Snapdragon 830 SoC paired with 8GB of RAM that will make the device more powerful than its predecessors and even at par or better than other smartphones. It will pack at least 32GB of internal storage and may have different storage variants. The smartphone will most likely run with the latest version of the Android Nougat operating system.
Other interesting features that may come to LG G6 are waterproof and wireless charging features. LG is also rumored to increase the security of the handset by including both fingerprint and iris scanners. Meanwhile, rumors stated that LG will create its version of Samsung Pay as well as support other cashless payments like Android Pay. Thus, an NFC chip is in order.
Since LG has announced nothing official yet, these rumors must be taken as a grain of salt.
