Hey Everybody Its Norm From Tested And

today I’m going to be reviewing theNK] G six Android smartphone. It’s one of the first flagship smartphones that we’ve seen and tested for 2017. Now a quick refresher on the UK line UK like Samsung like UK every year tries to do something a little bit different with their phones to make them differentiate not only from each other or from their own smartphones of past years. Now last year with theNK] G5 UK introduced a modular system accessory system that lets you swap out the bottom of the phone and buy third-party accessories like a new headphone deck or also a beefier camera system. It didn’t work out quite well for UK now I’m happy to say that with the UK G 6 they’ve reversed directions and made a more simple elegant phone not without some of its own.

Own Interesting Features Which Ill Dive Into Now

first of all. There is no removable battery on the store and no that’s going to turn off for a bunch of people that went the way of the remodeler system, but it is a beefier battery 3300 milliamp hour battery and in my use gives you about eight hours of web browsing and productivity a little more than you need for a full day of regular use. I’m pretty happy with that now. Other features the UK has for anNK] G6 include making it waterproof. There’s also wireless charging and there’s Qualcomm fast charging and a fingerprint reader in the back and UK See on the bottom.

Theyve Also Kept The Headphone Jack 3.

5 millimeter headphone jack thankfully, but they’ve kept it on the top of the phone, which is different than what some other phone manufacturers have been doing. doing by putting it on the bottom of the phone and while storage is limited to 32 gigabytes or 64 gigabytes of what you can buy of internal storage. They also thankfully kept expandability with a micro UK card slot right next to where you would put the UK card performance-wise under the hood. There is an equality ARgan UK processor that runs this phone and that’s an interesting design decision because the snap tracking 81 is last year’s high-end Qualcomm chip.

Its The Same Chip That Runs The 1

plus 3t and the Google Pixel phone and a lot of flagships. We anticipate this year, including the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8 run the Snapdragon 805 now in data use. It really didn’t mean much benchmarks on the UK G6 right in line with the 1 plus 3t and other Snapdragon 801 phones, but on browsing websites and watching video. games performance is pretty great we’re getting diminishing returns. I think with these new processors every year, especially when we’re talking about how they affect battery life again.

A Full Day Of Battery Use With

this phone design, but let’s talk about the more interesting features now. I said earlier. It’s really interesting to me seeing how phone companies map out their roadmaps what new and weird features they want to put into their phones to differentiate it. Their new flagship. Some of those features end-up sticking like fingerprint readers higher resolution screens making waterproofed UK and some of those features just end up being actual gimmicks like the modular accessories.

With Thenk] G 6 We Have One Feature

that’s been grandfathered in from last year’s G5 I do like and I hope sticks around and that’s the camera system so. TheNK] G 6 has two sets. two sets of cameras, two cameras for front-facing and two cameras for world facing for the world facing cameras you have your standard 2 13 megapixels cameras. The lenses are actually flush with the back of the phone thankfully this year and one is your 28 millimeter equivalent very comparable to a 28 or 35-millimeter camera that you’d find on most smartphones. It does have optical image stabilization and it has 13 megapixels and a pretty wide aperture of 1.

8, But Its Really That Second Camera That

I’m interested in because UK. Unlike the Apple for example putting in a portrait mode telephoto lens on their second camera UK put a wide-angle lens on their cameras on the UK G5 and now theNK] G 6 and I am completely enamored with this wide-angle lens. It’s really almost fisheye about it well of millimeter equivalent and I’ve found it. in creating distinct shots indoors with groups even landscape shots and especially when filming video with that wide-angle lens on the front facing camera. You also have your standard 70-degree angle camera and also a wide-angle lens and wide angle selfies with people look really I think really cool the image quality wise I wasn’t all that impressed with the camera.

I Dont Think It Compares Favorably

with the Google pixel camera phone or even theNK] 7 camera phone. You can of course shoot some of these images in UK and do some post-processing afterward, but the noise is pretty high in low-light imagery and autofocus was pretty slow if you look at the actual specs of the camera modules. These are pretty old X sensors. NK] has put on these phones. I hopefully upgrade that but that didn’t happen this year, but while the image quality didn’t.

Away Again I Am Really Enamored With

that wide-angle lens. In fact, I’d love to see a smartphone manufacturer design a phone with a dual lens system that doesn’t use 28 millimeters or 35 millimeters, give me a wide angle and give me a telephoto for portraits that’s why I’d want in the future. Now the feature that really makes this phone stand out as a flagship this year and I think sets a trend for phones going forward this year and next is the way the display is made look at that display look at that screen look at how little bezel there is on the screens ever since we’ve had the first smartphones back in 2007 we wanted less forehead and less Chin and with theNK] G 6 we have a whole lot less bezel on the chassis. In fact, the screen takes up about 80% of. That front face you still need a little bit for the camera system and the speaker system and the logo on the bottom, but everything else is basically screen We’re seeing phones like the galaxy S 8 also take this approach and expectation is that the newest UK later this year will also do that now.

The Other Attribute About The Screen.

I think is going to be trend. -setting is also the aspect ratio and resolution of this screen. The pixel dimensions of this phone our 2880 by 1440 UK says that’s 18 by 9, but let’s call it what it is it’s 2×1. The screen is twice as tall as it is wide and even though it’s 5.

7 Inches That Changes The Way We

think about how big phones are because they’re less they’re more rectangular less square than ever we’re way past four by three screens or even. by nine screens these days and what that means with combined with the minimal bezel is that you have a phone that has a footprint that’s smaller than that of. For example, an UK 7 plus with a screen that’s bigger and in my opinion more useful now in Android not every app supports 2 by 1 or 18 by 9 aspect ratio perfectly just yet web browsing using social media apps that’s just fine you’re going to get you’re just going to see more text and it will see more without scrolling, but video applications are where things get a little bit weird. For example, using Netflix. There’s some Netflix content.

A Lot Of It In Fact Thats 16

by 9. This is a very traditional UK aspect ratio, and in Netflix you’re going to get black bars on the left and right. There’s no option right now to. maximize the screen and crop off the top and bottom, but some content is actually being filmed in two by one aspect ratio Stranger Things House of cards, a series of unfortunate event that’s all to buy one and take advantage of that you actually had to enable and turn the app into a compatibility mode, which cuts off some of the UK but gives you that full screen and let me tell you watching stranger things in two by one filling up this screen is well. It’s magical almost it’s really really cool.

Unfortunately, Watching Video And Other Programs

like UK. For example, you’re going to get your black bars. Even if you’re watching content. The was shot in widescreen or closer to two by one watching a movie trailer, for example, shot button two point two by one aspect ratio. You get the hard encoded black bars on the top and bottom and you also get the black bars on the left and right because UK.

For Some Reason That App I Cant Stretch

to fill two by one and maximize that video so we’re still going through some growing pains with this aspect ratio. But for a lot of content does look great now the UK UK screen that UK is put in this phone also goes up to 600 nits of brightness that’s really bright and it’s. One of the first phones that supports UK are in Dolby’s specifications Dolby vision. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of content that supports Dolby vision.

Right Now Theres A Included Video

that you can use. As a sample but for streaming services Amazon has promised Dolby vision support for some of its shows like Bosch and Met in the High Castle, but streaming that right now on the prime video app on Android, you’re not actually able to take advantage of that at least I couldn’t notice the difference that’s going to be a feature set that you’re going to be able to take advantage of hopefully later this year. So at the end of the day, theNK] G 6 it’s a high-end phone with a high end price is a $700 phone and there are a lot of still questions that remain in terms of software. NK] hasn’t had the best track record in updating its ANdroid software for its older phones.

Thenk] Older Phones Thenk] G5 Got Android

Nougat 7.0 about two and a half months after was released in the summer and the phoneNK] G 6 here actually ships with 7. 0 not even 7. 1.

I Dont Know How Much Of That Matters

to a lot of people for me data use it still has most of the features I want and I can download something like the Google now launcher to make it feel more like a stock phone, but there’s also what’s in the field like I said Samsung has its Galaxy S a their flagship phone high-end 700 $800 phone that’s going to come out in just a couple weeks. I’d hold off on picking up the UK G 6 until we see the S 8 actually released and we can compare those two directly, but there’s a lot to like in the UK G 6 especially. Especially in its form factor I love the wide-angle camera and I do think this minimizing of bezels and these taller screens are here to stay.

Summary

The UK G6 is one of the first flagship smartphones that we’ve seen and tested for 2017 . There is no removable battery on the store and no that’s going to turn off for a bunch of people that went the way of the remodeler system, but it is a beefier battery 3300 milliamp hour battery and in my use gives you about eight hours of web browsing and productivity a little more than you need for a full day of regular use .
