LG G6 - 32 GB - Unlocked GSM - Platinum

I purchased this device a month or two ago and have no serious complaints so far. A few points worth considering:Pros:1) Sturdy build quality, I upgraded to this from a nexus 5x and the difference is noticeable. Not quite as good as an iphone or flagship samsung, but very close.2) Easy to clear out the pre-installed amazon junk. Took me 5 minutes to hide or remove the stuff amazon preloads on this phone and haven't had it crop back up since.3) Worked with my AT&T cell plan no problem. Like I said I previously was using a nexus 5x. When the G6 arrived I just swapped in the sim card from my old phone and it booted and connected straight away. No problems at all4) Good battery life. I plug the phone in every night, but more often than not it's still got most of its battery left. On a few occasions I've gone two, even three days without charging and as long as I'm not using it heavily the phone keeps going no problem.Cons:1) Screen is a little big for my hands. I can barely reach my thumb clear across if I'm trying to use it one handed.2) Finger print scanner is also the wake/sleep button and it's fast enough that tapping it to check lock screen notifications usually unlocks the phone instead. LG worked around this by allowing you to double tap the screen to wake the phone up and double tap again to sleep it from the lock screen, so over all not a huge issue, but it does take some getting used to

After a lifetime of Samsung's this and that's, the LG G6 is really high quality.This expensive phone new is more than i'd every pay for a phone (approaching $1000), but I bought it as a refurb unit that was listed on Amazon as 'Like New', for $109. I would normally be skeptical even though it's two models down from the current version. But Amazon listed, fulfilled and guaranteed it. After watching really good reviews on it, I ordered it, and got it in a day. It is absolutely great, not a scratch anywhere, it was unlocked and it works perfect!It is a fast 64 bit system with a great 8 core processor.It handles everything I've thrown at it, including flying a drone while watching the Hi-res video the drone seems back!Without skipping a beat!

Not sure how the phone itself is. But the one I received was not unlocked. Could not be used for verizon. The actual phone had no labels for tmobile so I thought I was good, but I took it to the verizon store to activate and it came up for tmobile only. They said it was not unlocked for verizon and can only be used with tmobile. I got this phone sold and shipped by amazon. I figured it was safe, because it was not a 3rd party seller and amazon would know if they had a phone that said it could be used on Verizon, that it actually would be. It was not the case. If you don't have tmobile, I would look elsewhere because too many people are getting only tmobile phones. The description is not accurate. Even if sold by amazon. I am returning this.Also, if you do have tmobile and want to get the phone, make sure you know that this requires a nano sim card. I didnt know either that the old sim cards are being phased out and the micro will not work from my old phone. Had to take to the store for a smaller sim card anyway. But those are the only 2 things i can comment on, because I cant use the actual phone.

Okay so I got this phone back in 2017 and right away I had to keep sending it back cause they kept sending me the wrong ones. I wanted unlocked and they kept sending me t-mobile ones. This is not LG's fault this is a amazon problem I would think or the sell problem.When I finally got my unlocked one it was great at first. But after less then a year the battery started having weird problems luckily it was still under warranty so I sent it into LG to have it repaired. They replaced the battery apparently because it was faulty but the warranty wouldn't be extended or anything so if it happened again I would be screwed.Later on I started noticing the phone was like stuck on one day when I woke up which had drained the battery most of the night for some reason. I took screenshots and sent them to LG and explained what happened worried that the battery was messing up again. On top of that I didn't have time to charge it that day and had to go to work right away after noticing the battery was down to like 12% or something. I had to try and charge it a bit at work. After that it seemed okay and working normally but LG suggested sending it in.Well I wasn't gonna send it in right away because I had a trip coming up around the time and didn't want to be without a phone or with a different phone im not used to when im on my trip. So I could be able to take decent pictures with the camera, and use the apps im used to. Plus it wasn't covered under warranty anymore cause of the fact it's only warrantied for 1 year after purchase.So I went on my trip and right away the first day I am on my trip I try to swap out the SIM card with a pre-paid one and the SIM/Micro SD card holder (the plastic garbage they use) was broken in more then one spot. I was really upset as well as stranded because I couldn't use my phone to contact anyone or use mobile data only wifi. I made it to where I was staying and contacted LG on my broken phone all panicked but figuring they could help and would have a place nearby (since it was a HUGE city and area thats very popular).I was told the closest place was over a 1000 miles away and that I would have to send it there and wouldn't get it back for 2 weeks or something like that. Like wtf!? I am on my trip and need it now! So they suggested taking it to a local cell phone repair place and have them try and fix it.I ended up having to do that and had to wait a day for the replacement SIM/SD card slot then the repair guy noticed part of the card slot was stuck in the phone thus you wouldn't be able to fit the SIM into it. So he had to open up the phone to get that piece in order for the SIM to work. Unfortunately in the process he damaged the SD card reader but was able to get the card holder opened up so I could insert the new card holder into my phone and use the pre-paid SIM card I bought to use so I at least had mobile data but my SD card could not be used so that meant not taking as many pictures or videos during my trip and got charged $60 dollars for my trouble.After I got home from the trip I contacted LG about getting it sent in to be repaired cause I still liked the phone and was used to it. But it would be 2 weeks before I would get it back so I had to end up buying a temp. smart phone to replace it which took some time. Also every time they e-mailed me about the info I was sending them about needing it repaired none of the links on their e-mails worked right so I had to go to their site and constantly type in the reference code etc if I needed to add any info to the problems or anything.I finally got it sent in and got an e-mail today with it addressed to a different family member for some reason (idk how that happened) and they had claimed before because they are LG they would have the right parts and stuff so it would be better for them to repair it so I figured it shouldn't be to bad. The e-mail currently is showing that because it was a "tampered device" and because it was no longer under warranty that it was gonna cost me around $380 US dollars to be repaired. I paid $450 US dollars when I first got it new and that included a warranty. That really annoys me. I am still contemplating on if I want to fork over that much money for something that might not last long anyways. But I would need to look for a new smart phone if I want to buy something else instead.I am someone who takes really good care of his phones. I never let them go below 20% and usually only let them drain down to 40% and only try to charge them to 80% like what iv seen on so many sites talking about keeping your batteries working in great condition. I rarely if ever drop my phone and usually it's only a small distance from like a chair to the floor but I always have them in a protective case and house them in a holster when im not using them. I try to keep them cool and not use them to often etc. My phones should last me a long time but manufacturers tend to make crapy products these days that only last a year it seems like.If it didn't have these problems the phone would have been pretty good to me. The camera worked well and took decent pictures. It has nice features, it was user friendly. The only thing I didn't like recently was the fact that the location thing would keep coming up (I think that's maybe googles fault) which I had to go in and turn off over and over again in the settings. Which would broadcast to whatever app is asking your location even if you have it set to off it would turn on by itself at times which was annoying. As well as the battery seemingly getting pretty warm at times just from using it normally.Sorry for the long rant. And I see this phone isn't being sold anymore on amazon from the looks of it. Will need to start looking at what new unlocked phones cost and if I might want to go with one of those instead unfortunately.
