With a considerable amount of competition from its rivals, LG has unveiled two new variants of its flagship smartphone – LG G6 – to its line-up to tempt more customers. One boasting 128GB inbuilt storage and will be known as LG G6+, while the other has been upgraded to 32GB, which the company has named LG G6 32GB. The latter is already listed on LG UK website, while the LG G6+ has been announced in Korea, but its availability is awaited until further announcement from the company. Apart from the introduction of the 2 new devices, the LG G6 smartphone will receive new features and other improvements with next software update, which is set to be ‘coming soon’.
With the most obvious difference between the standard LG G6 (64GB) and its new variants is in storage capacity- while the new LG G6 32GB, as the name suggests, has 32GB built-in storage and the new LG G6+ packing 128GB. Reports have also suggested that the LG G6+ packs 6GB of RAM, but there’s no confirmation from the company yet. LG had originally chose to launch three different versions of G6 in different markets with some having wireless charging capability while others did not. However, the LG G6+ with 128GB storage makes a statement on its own coming with all of those features packed together.
While the specifications are nearly the same, there are new colours that have been introduced with these models. The LG G6 32GB will get non-optical Terra Gold, non-optical Marine Blue, and an already available Mystic White model, while the LG G6+ will be available in Optical Astro Black, Optical Marine Blue, and Optical Terra Gold. In fact, the 64GB LG G6 is also getting two new optical colours, Optical Marine Blue and Optical Terra Gold.
Some of thew new features being released by LG for its flagship devices via a software update include Face Print, Low Power Consumption, and Covered Lens warning, which will be rolled out to the existing LG G6 units via software update. The All-Ways Aware hub uses Google’s Contextual Hub Runtime Environment (CHRE) to sense and collect data at all times from both sensors and wireless connections, the company claims, to improve the user experience with third-party applications.
Without giving much away with regards to the release of the LG G6 software update as well as LG G6+, LG has stated, “the exact dates of availability of the software update and the LG G6+ will be announced locally in each market.”
