LG Q6 introduces FullVision experience to more consumers
LG Electronics’ (LG) newest smartphone featuring the proprietary FullVision display became available to consumers around the world starting this week. The LG Q6 was launched this week in Korea, soon to be followed by key markets in Asia, Europe, Middle East and the Americas in the weeks to come.
The Q6 is the first model in LG’s new Q series of smartphones. LG said it was designed for consumers who want a smartphone that offers the technology of its flagship smartphones at an affordable price.
The Q6 shares DNA with the award-winning G6 smartphone, the first device to offer LG’s FullVision display. With FullVision, LG is able to offer a large screen in a phone that can be used comfortably with one hand, one of the biggest challenges facing smartphone design this decade.
The Q6 features a 5.5-inch FHD+ Full Vision display. Square Camera Mode enables the merger of two images into one and the creation of square grid collages — popular with social media fans.
Durability is another of this smartphone’s key features. Its metal frame is constructed of 7,000 series aluminum — a strong alloy commonly used in the aerospace and marine industries — with rounded corners to dissipate impact energy when dropped. The LG Q6 was designed with MIL-STD 810G in mind, which tests and measures devices for their reaction to temperature extremes, rain, humidity, sand and dust to determine their suitability for use by the US military. The battery in the Q6 is also subjected to an extra harsh testing process, more demanding than international testing standards. A thermal pad cooling system is incorporated into the interior and key components are designed far from one another to minimize internal heating.
Eddie Jun, managing director of LG Electronics Saudi Arabia, said: “We designed the Q series based on extensive research into what millennials want from their smartphones.”
Juno Cho, president of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company, said: “The Q6 delivers the key features of our flagship smartphones at an exceptional price that will appeal to young consumers world over.”
The smartphone is available in the Saudi market at the cost of SR799 ($213).
