LG G6 review (connectivity)
The LG G6 supports Cat.12 LTE, courtesy of Qualcomm's modem, with 3-carrier aggregation for theoretical download speeds up to 600Mbps and uploads up to 150Mbps. Ours is a single-SIM version, but some markets will get dual-SIM too.
There's, of course, Wi-Fi ac with Wi-Fi direct and DLNA, and wireless screen sharing is supported by both Miracast and Chromecast devices. Bluetooth is the latest available version 4.2, and there's GPS, GLONASS, and BDS for positioning. You also get NFC.
Our unit also has an FM radio receiver, which G6s bound for the US, Canada, and South Korea won't be getting. Also, we've probably gotten the reviewer's bonus as we have both the FM radio and the wireless charging, which shouldn't theoretically be present on the same unit.
The G6 charges via a USB-C port, but it also adheres to the USB 3.1 spec for fast data transfer - all too often manufacturers just use the symmetrical port for its convenience but miss making use of the faster speed transfers it offers and only comply to USB 2.0 spec. Well, not LG anyway.
MirrorLink is supported too, for connection to your car's infotainment system via USB.
There's a good 3.5mm analog audio jack on board too.
