A mid-range device with the appearance of more expensive flagship smartphones. The similarity with them can be traced in the frameless design of the model, thanks to which, with the dimensions of a 5-inch device, the LG Q6 32GB Duos managed to install a screen with a diagonal of 5.5". an atypical aspect ratio of 18: 9. In terms of technical equipment, the smartphone turned out to be simpler: it uses a chip that is the “thunderstorm” of the initial class – Qualcomm Snapdragon 435. performing unpretentious everyday tasks). Not surprisingly, a fingerprint scanner was "sawed out" from the smartphone. Instead, it is offered to use the face recognition system. But there are two "seats" for SIM cards in the model, and the slot for memory expansion via a microSD drive is taken out separately.
To the chagrin of many, the fashion to release mini-versions of flagship smartphones has sunk into oblivion. However, watching the model with the Q6 prefix, you can’t say this — the device retained the maximum similarity with the top-end LG G6, borrowing from it a widescreen screen with an aspect ratio of 18:9 and common style features.
Distinctive features
In fact, there are not so few differences between the LG Q6 and its older brother. It is given out by its modest size, lack of a fingerprint scanner and a dual main camera module. Nevertheless, with a comparable size to 5-inch mobile gadgets, the screen of the model stretched to 5.5", instead of a fingerprint sensor, the smartphone uses a face recognition system, and a 13 MP camera on the back of the case shows decent quality photos in good light.
Hardware platform
The main difference between the flagship and the model under consideration lies in the use of a completely different hardware platform. At the heart of the LG Q6 is a strong chip from the entry-class processor squad — Snapdragon 435. In the company with 3 GB of RAM and Adreno 505 graphics, it performs well in everyday tasks, not so rosy demonstrating its capabilities in games and "heavy" applications.
Wide angle selfies
Returning to the issue of photography, it is worth mentioning the wide-angle lens in the front camera (with a field of view of 100 °), which allows you to capture more than usual in the frame when shooting selfies or grufies (group self-portraits). The camera on the front panel is also responsible for authenticating the owner of the device by face, which, unfortunately, it cannot cope with in the dark.
bright spot
Double impressions leave behind a soiled glossy plastic back and a microUSB port, instead of which I would like to see a USB Type-C connector. But the smartphone has acquired an NFC chip for contactless payments and other wireless functions. LG Q6 can be safely recommended to those users who do not pursue high performance and want to get a model from a famous brand, which stands out as a bright spot against the background of the grey mass of the same type of devices.
