LG Q6 Plus Launched! Does It Have Enough To Entice You?
LG is hoping to taste success with their latest offering!
It’s a bit over a month since LG launched their Full Vision display smartphone, the LG Q6 Plus in the country. Now, the South Korean giant has brought in a higher variant of the LG Q6.
So is there anything new to look out for?
LG Q6 Plus has been priced at Rs. 17,990/-. Much like the Q6, the LG Q6 Plus sports the unusual 18:9 aspect ratio, Full Vision display. Unlike LG Q6, which was an Amazon India exclusive, the new LG Q6 Plus will be available offline across the country.
The company has promised a one-time free screen replacement within a period of 6 months.

Is LG Q6 Plus Good Enough?
LG Q6 Plus has been designed for the mid-level segment. But it misses out a lot of features unlike other handsets at this price point. On the other hand LG Q6 itself hasn’t seen much success in the Indian market. The new Q6 Plus itself doesn’t offer anything more than better RAM.
It will be interesting to see how well LG Q6 Plus performs in the Indian market.
