Smartphone LG G6 now available

Following the initial rollout in its home country of South Korea, LG Electronics (LG) has announced the availability of the LG G6 in Qatar this week. The new smartphone is solely distributed by Video Home & Electronic Centre and is widely available across Jumbo Electronics Showrooms, Spark Lifestyle Electronics, leading retailers and hypermarkets. Customers can buy the LG G6 for QR2,599 and benefit from an introduction offer that includes a LG quick cover case, a Sandisk 64GB micro SD card, and an ITL Travel Voucher worth QR1,000 that customers can use at ITL offices for holiday packages, flight and hotel bookings. Total benefit is worth QR1,298. The LG G6 received many positive reactions at Mobile World Congress 2017 earlier this year, winning an unprecedented 36 awards from various industry publications. The G6 features an unprecedented 5.7-inch display in a compact 5.2-inch body with minimal bezels for convenient one-handed operation without sacrificing screen real estate. With an immersive FullVision display that supports both Dolby Vision and HDR 10, the LG G6 is compatible with more HDR content than any smartphone currently available. The unique 18:9 screen aspect ratio of the FullVision display allows the screen to be divided into two identical perfect squares, ideal for multi-tasking with the G6’s camera UX, which was developed with social media users in mind.LG takes photography to the next level once again with a wide angle front-facing camera to complement the wide angle dual camera setup on the rear. The 125-degree lens on the back delivers crisp, panoramic image with less edge distortion than before and switching between the wide and standard lenses is smooth and seamless. The 5MP 100-degree field of view front camera allows for large group shots without a selfie stick.Sculpted from a blend of high quality metal and smooth glass, the LG G6 meets the IP68 standard for water and dust resistance. And with Google Assistant available right out of the box, useful information is never far away.The LG G6 has the distinction of having met and passed the MIL-STD 810G standard for durability, conducted by independent testing and certification firm MET (Maryland Electrical Testing) Laboratories. The G6 passed the following 14 tests, the most categories among smartphones tested: low temperature, high temperature, humidity, vibration, solar radiation, low pressure, sand and dust, immersion, temperature shock, salt fog and rain. “The initial reaction and feedback to the G6 has by far exceeded our expectations. It is a marvellous device that is truly durable. The unique curved screen corners serves a dual objective that compliments the curved edges of the phone and minimising screen damage in case of a fall,” said Sajed Jassim Mohamed Sulaiman, vice chairman and managing director, Video Home & Electronic Centre.
