All three smartphones of the Q6 range packs an 18:9 display with rounded corners. The 18:9 panel found in this series is, however, smaller and lower in resolution when compared to the LG G6. With that said, the 5.5-inch FHD+ (2,160 x 1920) FullVision display of the Q6 lineup has enough to catch your eyes. The LG Q6 series is the first to bring the 18:9 display technology to the masses. Previously only the Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and the LG G6 came with such displays. A Chinese OEM Ulefone is closely following LG in launching its own budget device with an Infinity display.
The LG Q6, Q6a and Q6 Plus look identical to each other in terms of design. They come in a metal shell that bears a textured appearance on the rear. All three devices of the LG Q6 series share a similar form factor too. The primary difference between them is in terms of RAM and internal storage. That aside, the trio share the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor. LG has cut down the cost of the Q6 series by omitting two niceties of the LG G6. The Q6 lineup of smartphones doesn’t come with the dual rear camera setup of their bigger brother. Nor do they come with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Instead, the trio comes with a 13MP rear shooter coupled with a LED flash. Besides, it has a 5MP front facing camera for selfies.
