LG G6 Review: Meet the Smartphone with the Toughest Battery in the Market

LG has delivered yet another flagship phone this year, the LG G6. Launched at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, the LG G6 sports a new killer design and innovative features.

The new LG G6 has a full metal glass build and a sleek design. Showcasing a mighty 5.7-inch display that delivers amazing visuals together with a Dolby Vision support, the LG G6 is clearly a must-have for media lovers. However, people were drawn to one more issue here, the battery life.

Since the battery issue of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 happened, smartphone manufacturers and consumers became more cautious about the battery that they install on their devices. As a trusted electronics company, LG Electronics makes sure that their batteries are safe and durable.

A report from Digital Trends says that LG Electronics conducts a series of tests to ensure that their batteries are safe. They have conducted these tests to their latest flagship phone, the LG G6. The tests include a dropping of a 9klg weight two feet above the battery to see if it will explode or catch fire.

Another weird test that LG has made with the LG G6's battery is piercing a metal nail through its body. This meant to simulate the possibilities of what could happen if the phone is accidentally bitten by the owner's pet.

The LG G6 smartphone passed a total of 14 tests which include temperature, humidity, vibration and solar radiation. LG's newest flagship phone also earned an "MIL-STD 810G" certificate from Maryland Electrical Testing.

In terms of battery life, The LG G6 is powered by a 3,300mAh battery. The LG G6 can last an average of 22:30hrs of 3G talk time, 8:31hrs of web browsing and 10:27hrs of video playback according to GSM Arena. However, the battery life still depends on your usage.
