This is kind of a strange release. Single camera, 430 processor and 3 gb ram launching with 7.1.1.

The price on this would have to be really low to make it worth it. The G6, with much better specs, can be had at T-mobile for $500 still and unlocked for $549. For me personally, this thing wouldn't be interesting for anything more than $400 and even that's pushing it. $350 would get me to try it.

LG does this.. They did that with a smaller G4 also, I saw billboards in Russia.. I think I might have seen a smaller V10 but I'm not sure.

I think there enough low end phones that will probably best this

I saw a report just now that its expected to be priced at $435. Why in the world would I take a lower spec'd phone for a $65 savings than the "full" version. This is just a weird launch.

LG Q6 brings 18:9 displays to the mid-range, launching tomorrow - Android Authority

They should have made it smaller with similar specs

Oh, shrink that 5.7 down to like 5.1 or so and let 'er rip... would be quite a nice powerful little phone. But there is next to no market for small top shelf phones at the moment. Now, there's a bit of a chicken/egg about whether OEMs aren't building them because no one buys them, or if no one buys them because none are available... that's a nuanced sort of discussion... It just seems that the 'small phone' market seems to be eyeing low or midrange phones these days.

I agree. Whats weird is they went with an aluminum back. So no more wireless charging.
