About the Product

The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8 begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone's layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen. So all you see is pure content and no bezel. It's the biggest, most immersive screen on a Galaxy smartphone of this size. And it's easy to hold in one hand.

Unlike other phones with a similar screen size, the large 5.7” display fits in your hand, giving you a big screen experience without the inconvenience of a big phone. The LG G6 is sculpted from aluminum and glass and is available in platinum and black. The 18:9 FullVision display with rounded corners and narrow bezels conclude the harmonious design.

What customers say about "Processor"

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

The graphic is amazing and processor of the phone is fast.

LG G6 Sim-Free Smartphone

The 821 is plenty fast for normal users.
Last year's good processor.
If you read reviews, you will see that the processor is not quite as speedy as the Qualcomm 835 that comes with the Samsung S8.

What customers say about "Camera"

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

Amazing camera quality.
Great camera with super class picture and nice design. Easy to handle, fast processing.

LG G6 Sim-Free Smartphone

Wide angle camera lets you take a wider view of the background in your pictures.
Lag on picture taking. I had the Note 8 and you could instantly take pics. This one seems to have a lot longer shutter time.

What customers say about "Features"

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

Excellent smartphone, with ip68 protocol for water issues.

LG G6 Sim-Free Smartphone

Knock: double tap twice on your screen to turn it on.
Fingerprint reader is pretty responsive and accurate.
Micro SD slot for those who need that additional bit of storage space.
There are a handful of junk apps which are not needed but most can be uninstalled or disabled.
Power button and fingerprint reader is in the back of the phone which needs some getting used to.

What customers say about "Power"

Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone

The other things are perfect but my only issue is regarding to the battery performance and it's not as I saw from the reviews and some YouTubes.

LG G6 Sim-Free Smartphone

Battery lasts all day no problem.
The battery life is good enough to get me through the day with around 20-40%.
Long battery life and quick charge.
Biggest let down is the middling battery life.
The battery life is about average. I list that as a con, because this is a flagship running an 821. It should be better than average.
