Will G6 battery be damaged if phone is left charged most of the time even after battery has been fully charged?

Modern phones automatically cut off power to the battery once fully charged so it shouldn't spoil. But for best longevity you should unplug it once fully charge. As batteries don't like to stay in fully charged or zero charge state for too long

My 1st impression on LG G6 after switching from Samsung Galaxy S8+ today.

S8+ the only win is the much appealing screen. Not means the G6 screen is bad, just it still slightly loose to S8+. I am pretty sure the V30 will be very stunning since it is P-OLED.

But G6 wins down others especially the phone smoothness, the very stunning Quad DAC sound output, this is the best sound quality I ever heard from a mobile phone, and off course the very cool and awesome Wide Angle Camera. :)

Finish setup the G6 home screen look. :D

I own a s8+ and a G6... Besides what you mentioned. .. donyou realised that the photo is not as sharp as s8+? But the wide angle camera is really very useful....

Battery life for me has been great, 30-40% left at the end of the day. Overnight drops 1% the most from a 100% charge.

Do you guys think there would be a G6 price drop when the V30 launches in December, or I can just get the phone now?

has anyone using the camera with AWB ever observed that the G6 has abrupt white balance changes when your frame is mostly yellow or mostly blue?

i find that in both scenarios, the AWB tries to 'rebalance' the colour in a extreme manner, so if you shoot a scene that is mostly yellow for example, the white balance becomes cooler and less scene-accurate

I have here a yellow table with a black mousepad on it scene lighting is fluroescent.


Depending on how much of the mousepad is in the frame, the colour of the table really varies, when the frame is nearly occupied by the table only, the colour balance looks really cool. The one with the mousepad occupying most of the frame has the more scene-accurate colour

The reverse also happens, i.e. if you shoot a scene that is mostly blue, the more blue there is in the scene, the warmer the colour balance gets.

Of course you can force manual white balance to slide it to get it right, but it could just be yet another case of LG auto mode being inferior IMO

I have noticed that the G6 camera is definitely more susceptible to extreme WB shifts, although I never pinpoint the specifics of the scene that cause this. Will test out the yellow and blue (warm and cool) scenes.

The shooting experience on the G6 is still a very mixed bag to me. While shots are super clear and very detailed, even in lowlight, there's a strange sharpening filter that makes everything look very artificial and lacking depth, esp when viewed on computer. Like a very digitally enhanced kind of look that doesn't look great at 100%. Shots of people in very dim environments (like in a bar) will also totally obliterate facial detail like a beauty mode on steroids, even though the beauty mode is off. There will be horrible artifacts introduced also. In fact, because of this, my friends commented my camera sucks when I took some low light shots of them in a bar.

yes the G6 oversharpens, its so prevalent that if you google "LG G6 oversharpening" pretty much all the page 1 results are XDA, reddit etc posts about the issue

the most sad thing is that the V30 kind of has the same issue and it was so easy to replicate when I was at Ion orchard all I needed was to set ISO 400 and photograph the black floor.

the only thing LG does to remedy it is a noise reduction filter toggle which makes a ton of difference

but to me personally its really sad that we have to rely on a software crutch that adds more processing time to the shot.

Its like how portrait mode is such a thing now, like companies cant be bothered to use a bigger sensor for natural depth of field, so users have instead this fake-ass software bokeh that accidentally blurs out peoples ears or messes up edge detection for soft objects. HTC did it with the duo camera on M8 and it was mediocre, unfortunately 2 years later Apple had to do the same thing and now fake bokeh is trendy thanks to Apple

I agree, even as a enthusiast, the low light capabilities really fall far behind my ex G4.. Quite disappointed with this aspect.. Wide angle lens picture quality is slightly worst than the standard lens photos if anyone notice too..
