The LG Q6 Is A Mini, More Affordable G6 Expected Late Summer

LG officially has a new lineup of smartphones to add to it’s family. The LG Q6 is miniature, more affordable version of the company’s flagship, the G6.

The standout feature on the LG Q6 is definitely the FullVision-style display which is the tall 18:9 screen with slim bezels found on the G6. The only difference is that the Q6’s display isn’t as high-res as the G6.

The LG Q6 features a Snapdragon 435 processor, 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel wide-angle front camera, face recognition and a 3,000mAh battery packed inside packed an “ultra strong” 7000 series aluminum body.

While the Q6 is lacking the dual camera system and some high-end specs of its G6 counterpart, it does have the tall display with small bezels found on other respectable devices.

The LG Q6 will roll out to Asian in August with Europe, Latin America, and North American markets not long after. LG has yet to say how much the Q6 will cost, although the company did state that it will be competitively priced. Considering it is a mid-range option, we don’t expect anything too crazy.

LG's G6 Second Year Promise Extends Warranties To 2 Years In The United States

LG has announced that they’re extending every G6 warranty from one year to two years in the US.

The company is calling this new program, the LG G6 Second Year Promise and it will offer full coverage from potential defects for an additional 12 months at no extra cost. LG stated that it is noticing customers holding onto their phones for nearly a full 24 months, so extending the manufacturer’s warranty only makes sense to show that they stands by their products.

The company did admit that they have been providing similar benefits to Europeans, but notes that this particular program is exclusive to the United States. G6 customers will have to register their phones on LG’s website within 90 days of purchase or within 90 days of today’s announcement to qualify. The first year of warranty claims will continue to be handled by carriers, but customers will have to call LG or visit the website to make a claim during the second year. New or “newly refurbished” replacements are promised to arrive within two business days of filing a claim.

The LG G6 Second Year Promise won’t replace your phone if it breaks like HTC’s Uh Oh Protection program but it does give US customers a little peace of mind from defects after the first year. Fingers crossed for this becoming a new manufacturers trend going forward.
