LG Electronics has announced that the LG Q6, part of its new Q series, will be the first smartphone to offer the FullVision display following the LG G6.

The Q series offers many of LG’s most sought-out premium features at a competitive price, said a statement from the company.

LG’s Q series is the company’s latest line of powerful, mid-range smartphones boasting the essential features of LG premium phones at exceptional price points. As the first in the Q series to be announced, the LG Q6 features some of the most desired innovations from LG’s premium G6 smartphone and packages them in a sleek body highlighted by its FullVision display with minimised bezels, said a statement.

The Q6 family consists of the Q6+, Q6 and Q6a. The three variants cater to different user groups in terms of memory and storage: the Q6+ comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM, the base Q6 delivers 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage and the most affordably-priced Q6a comes with 2GB RAM and 16GB of ROM, it said.

At a time when minimised bezels are an emerging trend in premium smartphones, the Q6 is the first smartphone in the mid-price category to bring this feature to the masses. The unique 5.5-inch FHD+ FullVision display in the LG Q6 with its 18:9 aspect ratio makes video browsing, gaming and multi-tasking more immersive, it added.

The smartphone’s “bezel-less” form factor was designed to maximise the screen while still preventing accidental touching of the screen when being held.

And the LG Q6 looks possesses a minimalist and sleek design. With no unsightly camera bump and sleek appearance, the Q6 features attractive curves with rounded corners of the body matching the corners of the display. Packaged in a stylish metallic frame, the Q6 manages to be both lightweight and sturdy for a more durable day-to-day usage experience.

Benefiting from ergonomic research during the development of the LG G6, the phone is also comfortable to hold and use with one hand. In another nod to user convenience, LG’s proprietary face recognition feature allows owners to unlock the Q6 faster and with less hassle than other facial recognition technologies currently available.

As expected, the LG Q6 carries on LG’s heritage of excellence in optics. The smartphone incorporates a 100-degree wide angle selfie camera that allows shutterbugs to include a large group of friends and family in the shot without effort.

The camera’s improved LG UX 6.0 takes full advantage of the 18:9 aspect ratio of the FullVision display. Square Camera Mode makes it easy to “share your squares” or create photo collages using multiple square images.

Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, said: “The LG Q6 is a blend of premium features, great performance and attractive pricing, a combination that is extremely important to us as we look at the way consumers are using smartphones around the world.”

“The Q series is our way of getting the superb experiences with the essence of the LG’s premium line-ups to more consumers’ hands and pockets,” he said.

The LG G6 will go on sale in key markets in Asia starting next month to be followed by availability in Europe, Latin America and North America onward, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
