Hi to all forum members...
So, as I am about to buy a Bday gift for my lovely wife I would like your thoughts regarding LG G6 vs Huawei P10.
Although I know very well both phones specs and I read a lot and follow tech forums every day and visit u tube reviews , I would really like your real life opinions as far as the LG G6 vs Huawei P10....in terms of the main camera, front camera, UI and battery life.
IMO In terms of looks the P10 is more sexy for a woman but I have my concerns as the P10 is more fragile to drops plus the issues of the portrait mode being poor around the edges. So what do guys think???
Any comments is welcomed and appreciated
Thanks a lot in advance
 
P10 all the way. I had the G6 and really liked it but I have the P10 now and the cameras on the back are excellent and the front camera blows the G6 out the water. I use Wide Aperture mode much more than the Wide Angle Camera of the G6 and its been really good and you can change the focal point or blur level afterwards too if you wish. It's mostly good but you do get occasional misses where it doesn't get the outline of the subject just right and blurs the line a bit. I don't think I've seen a phone do Portrait Mode as accurately and consistently as the iPhone 7 Plus to date but the P10 is one of the better alternatives. Plus points go the G6 for a bit better battery life, water resistance, the feel of the phone in the hand and also for Always On Display and Double Tap To Wake, which I really miss. Oh and Wireless charging too depending on where you live (we had to do without in the UK)

As for the UI I'd say they're almost identical.

Now I've read my own comparison, the G6 probably sounds better. If the G6 had the P10 cameras then I'd have the ideal phone lol
 
Thanks a lot dov1978 for your reply!!
Definitely having experienced both phones, you have a more substantial opinion and clear view.
However we must also point out that the G6 offers a bigger screen.
Thank you again!!!
 
Ohh, where to start with G6, it has great build, beautiful for holding in hands, great screen to body ratio unlike the HTC, Huawei which is one of the reasons why i refused to buy their phones and Sony aswell, i want a phone not a brick, but they like they don't hear their buyers.

Anyhow back to the G6 battery for me lasts two days or if you want always between 6-8h SoT which is pretty amazing, IP certificat which is something P10 doesn't have. And what is important for me i am always on the run, sometimes during rainy days and i am always on mail, word, excel on the phone, bigger screen is also better for that which P10 also don't provide.
Fingerprint sensor is okay, but i noticed it isn't as fast as it is at some competition phones, but it does it's job.

Both suport fast charging so i have nothing to say on that... Screen is bigger on the G6 and as i remember they are both on IPS LCD. But for me the screen on the G6 is amazing even during extremly sunny days, and the colors are amazing + it has suport for HDR10 and if it is important to your lady it has bigger resolution than the P10.. And beautiful colors on G6.

You get the same phone size but bigger screen on G6 aswell, what else to mention well though it is useless during sunny and over the day G6 has AoD, while P10 hasn't but P10 has LED notification while G6 hasn't and what i honestly miss a lot but fk it. 😁
I think P10 has IR blaster idk not sure also something i miss on the G6..

When it comes to the LGs UIx and Huaweis EMUi i never liked ther EMUi and iOS style menu. + Huawei provides too many OEM apps ( brother has Honor 8 ) i don't like their keyboard while LG for me has one of the best on the market currently. And the UIx is just idk beautiful, easy to use, easy to add extra capacitive buttons and you can navigate them as you wish, will on EMUi you can't do that you only have 3 options and 4 buttons max, while on LG you can have up to 5 and move them by your wishes.

And Capture+ on the G6 is one of the most usefull things they added if you do screenshoots a lot i for ex. do a lot.
Smart Doctor on G6 is very usefull app for cleanning, optimization, diagnostics, testing hardver.. Also face unlock, mini screen, knock code, tap to wake and lock i love that feature..

Camera on G6 is very good for me, wide angle is just an amazing feature.. And manual options have never looked so good on a phone, although i would like to see portrait mode with future updates, something P10 has...

While front facing camera is really poor, it just sucks really.. My brothet told me to get the P10 but idk, i don't like Huawei, they became really great manufacturer as i recall i laughed at them couple of years back. But today they really are great. And i don't think you'll go wrong with any of either phones.

But i do think that the G6 is stronger not that fragile on drops and with last update the phone performs very smoothly, RAM managment is great, SP821 really does the great job. Though SP835 would be nicer to see in it.

So overall my - for the G6 since i had it goes like this.

- no LED notification, no IR blaster, extra storage would be great 64gb but you can get sd card, SP835 would be nice to see, no portrait mode, poor front camera, and AoD is usefull only during cloudy days and night, since i don't care about wireless charging but some may miss it.
And idk what else to say.
If you decide the G6 buy her the white one. She will love it. 😬
 
You're a good husband to buy your wife a phone! Good on you!

As a woman myself, I like the look of both phones and approve of both... But I honestly sway more towards the G6; not just in terms of functioning and performance but in terms of appeal. It's very beautiful, especially the silver version. I'd say go for it!

Oh, also, as a woman who has small hands and has actually held the G6 and was amazed by its "portability," it has an excellent screen-to-body ratio. If your wife has smaller hands, she will definitely appreciate this aspect of the G6.
 
Morty you're a woman ? All the way i commented same themes as you i thought you were a guy. 😱
 
Wow devaa!!!! What a super detailed review....I really appreciate your time and thoughts so much!!! Very kind of U and Veeeeery helpful too ..and I seem to agree almost in all with U.
And yeah the G6 front facing camera is poor indeed.
 
Hi Morty2264...yeah indeed the G6 is very portable and has great screen to body ratio. Totally agree with you about the titanium silver colour since all the phones she had so far were white.
Thanks for your valuable input!!
 
No problem mate. P.s. i have titanium g6.. Anyhow i dont like the black one.. Not because of the fingerprints that are left on him, but i was always a fan of matt color.. Black/red iphone matt color would look great on g6. But hey thats why they put the titanium silver in which i fell in love it. 😁 and i forgot to say the phone is cool as ice. No overheating at all unlike the g3 and g4. They managed heating problems on past devices great..

LG G6 - 5'7 inch screen. Wide angle mode. Wireless charging. Water/Dust resistant. Adreno GPU. 2:1 Ratio.

Huawei P10 - Monochrome Sensor. Kirin 960 processor. Faster fast charging. IR Blaster. Better front facing camera. Faster finger print scanner ( probably the fastest). Leica lenses.

I might miss a couple in each, but you won't be disappointed on either one. Both are great phone. Takes amazing pictures.

This is a really good breakdown of the features these phones have. Great job!
