LG G5 - the most popular model of LG in South Korea

The average price is 22 650 rubles. The flagship from the South Korean manufacturer, released in April 2016, received 76% of fives according to reviews in the Yandex market. LG G5 became LG's most popular model in South Korea in 2016( antutu.com resource data).At once it is necessary to make a reservation that we are talking about the flagship of the LG G5, which is not officially sold in Russia, so it can not be bought in the official LG store or large retail chains, but there is no problem in small Internet shops( if you do not have an advertisement,then the list of stores selling LG G5, you'll see a little lower).In Russia, only the light version of the LG G5 SE is officially sold, while its average price is much more expensive( 31,550 rubles), and the characteristics are weaker, in particular, the less modern processor and less RAM.Therefore, the choice in favor of a full flagship at a lower price, in our opinion, is obvious.

Features LG G5: 5.3-inch screen resolution of 2560x1440, 32 GB of internal memory and 4 GB of RAM, there is a slot for memory cards with support for a fantastic volume - up to 2 TB( while you have to choose to install a second SIM card or cardmemory).Operating system Android 6.0.Battery capacity - 2800 mAh. Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 with video processor Adreno 530. And three cameras: 16-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel wide-angle camera( viewing angle - 135 degrees) and 8-megapixel front camera. The wide-angle camera is located in the same place where the main camera is located on the rear panel. Unlike the dual camera of the 7th iPhone, where image analysis is performed by two sensors at the same time, which can affect the quality of the frame for the worse, becausethere may be blurring of the image in some areas, LG G5 goes in a different way: two photos are taken at once with two different cameras: wide-angle and basic, from which you can choose the best one. Also, the wide-angle camera is good where you need to shoot a large object without being able to move far away from it so that it fully fits into the frame when shooting with a standard camera.

The LG G5 camera received 86 points in the well-known photographic resource Dxomark, as well as the camera of the 7th iPhone. As for the comparison with another last year's flagship Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the resource hi-tech.mail.ru conducted a comparative test of their cameras and the results were as follows: "The flagship Samsung still shoot better, which is especially noticeable at night. However, when taking self-portraits, LG leads, which has another important advantage: the ability to make wide-angle images with a viewing angle of 135 degrees. "The phonearena.com portal conducted several comparisons of the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and LG G5 cameras, where the quality of the images was assessed both by blind voting and by experts. In a blind vote, won the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but experts explained this victory with more vivid unnatural colors in the Samsung camera and preferred the LG G5.Therefore, it is fair to say that the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and LG G5 main cameras are about the same level, while the LG G5 has the advantage of shooting with a front camera, plus an additional plus in the form of a wide-angle camera.

This model is the world's first smartphone with a modular equipment principle. The user can replace the battery in a few seconds or install one of the LG Friends modules: a special unit LG Cam Plus with additional camera control buttons or LG Hi-Fi Plus with an audio chip. With the first module, the smartphone becomes a full-fledged compact camera with a comfortable grip, and with the second it turns into a real audio player. The module LG Cam Plus has its own battery for 1200 mAh. But do not just sum up the capacities, it's a little different: as soon as the battery of the smartphone sits down, it is immediately recharged from the battery in the LG Cam Plus unit. So, in fact, we have in front of us an extra external battery. The modules are purchased separately. LG Cam Plus costs from 900 rubles, but the purchase of LG Hi-Fi Plus will cost already 6 thousand rubles.

LG G6 64GB

The average price is 47 250 rubles. The Korean flagship went on sale in late March 2017 and today received 86% of fives on reviews in the Yandex-Market.

Like Samsung, LG showed the world a much-updated flagship, compared with last year's G5.From the startling modularity of the G5, the South Korean company decided to refuse, while offering a new interesting solution: the screen in the LG G6 is the world's first IPS display with QHD + resolution( 2880x1440) with a non-standard aspect ratio of 18: 9( 2: 1).The ratio of the screen to the total area of ​​the front panel is almost the same as the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the LG G6 case with a 5.7-inch screen has dimensions smaller than last year's 5.2-inch G5.In this case, LG did not remove the brand name from the front panel, for it there was a place. The buttons on the front panel, like the Galaxy S8, are touch sensitive, not physical.

Other specifications: Android 7.0 operating system with the proprietary shell of LG UX 6.0, 64 GB of permanent and 4 GB of RAM.There is a slot for memory cards with the support of a fantastic volume - 2 TB( combined with a slot for the second SIM-card).The capacity of the battery is 3300 mAh. The processor is quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821. At first glance, it's surprising that the processor is not the newest, but it does not cope with any applications and games for Android that are available today, so, apparently, LG did not consider it necessary to reinvent the wheeland increase the cost of its flagship the newest processor. The fingerprint reader is located on the back panel.

LG G6 follows the trend of the dual main camera, but it offers, probably, the best solution from all available. If usually the main cameras are not the same in quality, and the second main camera is needed only to simulate the software effect of strong blurring of the background( bokeh), LG G6 developers in general have abandoned this effect. Here, both main cameras are of equal quality( 13 megapixel Sony IMX258 sensor), but they have different lenses: one standard with a 71 ° viewing angle and the other is ultra-wide with a viewing angle of 125 ° and a f / 2.4 aperture number. Due to this, the lens is able to capture as much space as possible in the frame where it is needed. Switching between two cameras occurs instantly and without delays. To do this, just click on the special icon in the viewfinder.

The 5-megapixel front camera also has an enlarged( up to 100 °) viewing angle, whereby you can do selfie with a good grip of the surrounding space even without using a selfie stick. Also this will allow you to get into the frame of more friends in a group self.

The editorial board of the 4PDA portal awarded the LG G6 the "Best Look" award for its excellent design and ergonomics, while noting: "LG engineers have made one of the most user-friendly smartphones with a large display that combines aesthetics and certifiedexternal influences design. "

If you compare LG G6 and Samsung Galaxy S8, then immediately strikes the difference in price about 9 thousand rubles in favor of LG G6.It can not be said that the quality of a South Korean flagship is worse than that of another: reviews about models are equally good. Both models have an innovative huge display in a standard package. LG G6 at the same time has a dual main camera with a useful function of wide-angle shooting, as well as a front camera with a wide viewing angle, which can not boast of the flagship from Samsung.

This model is in the lead in the rating of the best flagships of 2017.
