I still use my G6 and I had no software problems so far it still works smooth and every app is working. My fingerprint said Adieu couple of weeks ago and the jackpot is not working fine anymore therefore I switched to bluetooth headphones. Last summer i had to change the battery for the first time after 6 years because it caused heating and processing problems!!!! Unfortunately many secure apps nowadays demand 3DS security which means that they need at least a fingerprint next to PIN verification which forces me to make an upgrade to a new phone in 2024. Speaking of 7 years of usage of my beloved G6 it is time for him to serve as a secondary phone in future.
Still using my G6 in August 2024! Battery is absolute garbage but I'm usually near a charger so whatever. 7 years is the longest I've ever kept a phone. Hats off to LG for this G6😊
LG's official unlock service doesn't work anymore. So you can use devices which has been unlocked already. Or T-Mobile version (H872) it is unlockable now.
I am watching this on my g6 from 2017 on Android 9. On one hand i really need a snappier phone but on the other and a modern phone camera. But mostly this does the job. I feel good enough using this and I am thinking of holding out for another year so that the pixel 8 comes down to 400usd. The phone has taken tumbles and drops (with a case of course) and I had the battery and headphone jack/usb c port replaced in this time and its still working (not like a charm). All the hardware parts still work great though - FP scanner, buttons, vibration motor, speakers etc. Its the day to day usage thats the problem. I can do everything but a little slow and sometimes there is a wait time. Ok google doesn't work or the response time is very slow. The phone kills apps because 75-80% of the 4gb ram is always in use. Opening and loading things can also be very slow at times.. Probably because of the old OS and softwares not being optimized for it. And damn I hate the camera. If you are not outside in good day light, it just sucks. Oh the colors are never right. Yeah maybe I should just get another phone now that I am writing all this 😂
V20 is the last king. Replaceable battery, IR remote control, google pay, second screen for shortcuts and notifications, audio chip, radio. The only problem is issue with screen, it has ghost image, not permanent, but its little bit annoying.
The Android 9 issue seems weird. I've been running Android 9 on my G6 since it came as part of a OTA software update without experiencing any problems and the performance seems fine. Really, the only issue I had with the phone is a pressure spot developing on the LCD that is visible on bright uniform backgrounds, but that might have been my fault. Everything else has been working fine and even the battery still holds for about 2 days after all those years.
Buy in Play Salon and still i have That LG😍 hmmm WHEN i run game GTA SA setting in full🤩🤯 pretty good working😊(today i have Realme but i come back in my LG sometimes and play games 😋😄) NOSTALGIA😉
This smartphone has amazing video quality when you are using "Open camera" with processing settings all turned off and gamma set to 2.2 The clarity on 1836p video is pixel sharp. To this date I havent seen a sharper image on a smartphone camera.
This is such an awesome phone. I missed mine so bad that I just ordered another one yesterday for... $48!!!! And I'm gonna use the HELL outta ol' #2. Oh yeah, I'm gonna call it "ol' #2", just in case you geeky bitches were wondering (like I give a rat's ass). I've got other "up to date" phones to use but the g6 warms my cold, black heart.
😂man I booted up my g6 and typing on it now. It's insanely slow but I rooted it and installed android 9 a while back. Can you make a video how to get it back on Android 7??
South Korean software just being the usual garbage it normally is 😂 Still the same as always. Intuitive features paired with poor design and an abismal level of optimization.
yeah, 2k IPS with HDR, still great in 2023. I wish someone could buy LG's mobile phone business. They had really great RND and brought a lot of new features into mobile phones.
How is battery after so many years? I want to buy a refurb G6 from china and I am afraid battery would have less than half of its capacity which isn't great even at full capacity. I have not found any cheap way to buy a non-refurb in my place (the poorest country in Europe)
Mine, after 6 years gets around 3-4 hours of screen on time, which is meh. You should consider other options like the LG v60 which has way better battery life.
@@Kevin4u2c Very sad, I am looking especially for IPS with good camera and unfortunately there is no much to chooses in range around 100-150 euro (ref or second hand, at least in my local area). IPHONE xr or 11 costa twice as much as ref lg g7 ans x4 of g6 price.
I would like lg to have a bigger market share, they were one of the few manufacturers that tried to make original and innovative stuff

Wow this phone definitely holds up pretty well after 6 years
Still my phone in 2023..abit slow and so-so battery but still working good 😎
How is it when it comes to gaming? Is it still good? Do u mind trying The legend of neverland and see if it will lag after player for hours

You can always install LineageOS which is supporting Android 13 for the G6.
I would have installed a custom ROM if not for LG locking the bootloader for the version I own.
@@Kevin4u2c That's a bummer. I am getting one soon to use as a secondary phone and I'll keep you posted on how my experience with LineageOS goes.

Reminds me of my LG V20, which was released like 6 months before this phone was released
The V20 was a beast back then.
V20 is the last king. Replaceable battery, IR remote control, google pay, second screen for shortcuts and notifications, audio chip, radio. The only problem is issue with screen, it has ghost image, not permanent, but its little bit annoying.
My LG G6 just suddenly over heated and turned off and won't open. I had it in 2018. So sad 😔

Android 9 is fine, the only bad thing is performance, but if you can handle a little bit of lag then it should be ok.
i had one that i gave to my sister after i got my pixel 2 xl. she dropped it in a mcdonalds fryer and it didnt damage the phone whatsoever.
also the moisture warning issue can be disabled in the phone dialer.

Only disappointment was the fingerprintsensor which broke relatively quickly, after 3 years or so.
Ikr
Going to temporarily use this as my main phone until I upgrade to the S23.
This is such an awesome phone.
I missed mine so bad that I just ordered another one yesterday for...
$48!!!!
And I'm gonna use the HELL outta ol' #2.
Oh yeah, I'm gonna call it "ol' #2", just in case you geeky bitches were wondering (like I give a rat's ass).
I've got other "up to date" phones to use but the g6 warms my cold, black heart.
Sir how to update Galaxy model GT-S5360 2.3.6 to 4.0 version without any pc or laptop please give me solution please 🙏🙏
You should've done some gaming test
For quickmemo+ does anybody know how to change it from list to grid??
I still using LG G6! Very nice monitor but camera is not that good
tube mate? newpipe FTW, you should give it a try on older phones without yt support.
I do use tube mate. But I think opera mini is better to watch videos on Android 4.1 to 4.3.
How u install ROM and root Can you please make a video teaching how to install?
Which one better the j7 neo are the lg G6
I think the g6
what is grapich for cod ?
Is there a way to flash android 9 to the g6 us997?
Yes, on RUclips there're many tutorials on how to do it. But I don't recommend you to do that since your G6 is going to get slower.
Is good for gaming in 2024 ?
*Not At Allllll....it was never good for gaming back in 2017 either* 😹
i have a phone that looks like your G6 but its a Galaxy. and it runs Android 8.1.0
is lg v20 worth it?
I've never had an LG V20 so can't say.
No, it sucks balls
Weird, mine has android 8 and runs really snappy
It's usable but It's slower than Android 7.
@@Kevin4u2c i restore the phone to android 7 but facebook app was so slow, upgrade to android 8 and now run smooth.. but the other apps are slow now..
You have the better model with faster storage which makes the OS overall quicker
@@oblivionlord1242 LG G6+ with 128 GB storage and the model number is LGUS997
😂man I booted up my g6 and typing on it now. It's insanely slow but I rooted it and installed android 9 a while back. Can you make a video how to get it back on Android 7??
If you rooted it you could install fulmics 4.2.
South Korean software just being the usual garbage it normally is 😂
Still the same as always. Intuitive features paired with poor design and an abismal level of optimization.
I like their UI though 😁
the bbbbbbest lcd screen for me！
