After much speculation and rumor, LG has finally taken the wraps off its Q6 smartphone. Several reports described the device as being a mini-version of the company’s flagship smartphone LG G6. In fact, the device is even being referred to as ‘LG G6 Mini’ smartphone. However, the official name given by LG is Q6. Thus, let’s just stick to that.
LG's new Q series
As pointed by Android Headlines, this is the first LG smartphone in the ‘Q’ series family. The company has not announced one but three different variants of its Q series of smartphones, namely LG Q6, LG Q6 Plus and LG Q6α.
The smartphones pack a 5.50-inch full-HD, full-Vision display with 18:9 aspect ratio. The latest offering is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 435 64-bit Octa-core processor coupled with Adreno 505 GPU. The main difference between the three variants is that they all offer different storage options. While the LG G6 smartphone offers 3GB of RAM and about 32GB of internal storage, the LG Q6α OFFERS 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
Specs are top-end
The LG Q6 Plus, on the other hand, offers 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. On the camera front, the smartphone sports a 13MP rear snapper complemented by a 5MP front shooter. Furthermore, the device houses a 3,000mAh battery and runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat out-of-the-box topped with LG’s custom UI.
On the connectivity front, the LG Q6 smartphone offers 4G LTE support, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other necessities. The smartphone is light as it weighs merely 149 grams. Moreover, the smartphone measures 142.5 x 69.3 x 8.1mm.
According to the company, the LG Q6 smartphone is available in four color variants including Terra Gold, Mystic White, Ice Platinum and Astro Black.
However, the LG Q6α is the only one that is available in all color options except for Mystic White. Another primary attraction of the smartphone is its face recognition technology. However, one drawback of the device is that it does not include a fingerprint sensor. The smartphone is expected to be available for sale in Asia in the following month.
The global roll-out will take place after that. Pricing details of the smartphone haven’t been revealed yet. However, since it’s a mid-range smartphone, it's certain that the device won’t cost more than $300. LG, however, hasn’t provided any confirmation regarding the same. It remains to be seen what will happen next exactly.
