Further, it also comes with IP67 water-and-dust certifications, which means the LG G6 owners can take the phone for a dip in the swimming pool (fresh water), as it can survive close to five feet under-water for up to 30 minutes and remain functional.

The G6 also houses 13MP dual-camera with 125-degree angle field of view, similar to human eye's visual range. This feature apparently enables the user to capture the scene as he/she sees it with minimum distorted edges.
On the front, it houses 5MP cam with 100-degree wide-angle lens and f/2.2 aperture. With the increase in the visual range, LG G6 users will surely find taking a group selfie hassle-free, even if he/she has a short arm.
Another notable aspect of LG G6 is its square camera feature. It allows the device owners to fully utilize 18:9 display aspect ratio and split the screen in two identical square shapes, so that he/she can capture photos and review it simultaneously. This will definitely come in handy for those who use photo sharing apps like Instagram.
Other stipulated features include Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 quad-core processor, 4GB, 32GB/64GB storage and a 3,300mAh battery.
