The new company strategy could give more visibility to the next top of the range considering Samsung's plan to postpone the launch of the Galaxy S8
Change of plans at LG. According to the latest rumors, the South Korean company would be planning to put the G6 on the market a month early. The next top of the range could be available, in fact, already from March 2017.
Not therefore in April, as happened the previous year with the G5, a device that was presented during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and marketed two months later. The move actually, in several ways, doesn't surprise much. LG, in fact, could take advantage of Samsung's choice to postpone the launch of the Galaxy S8 by a month by entering this market space left empty by one of its main competitors. In questo modo, LG acquisirebbe un vantaggio competitivo importante e il G6 avrebbe una visibilità superiore che potrebbe portare la casa sudcoreana ad aumentare le vendite annuali del prossimo top di gamma.

Non dovendo competere almeno nei primi mesi con il Samsung Galaxy S8, il G6 avrà dunque un margine di mercato maggiore. Il nuovo telefono sarà comunque presentato sfruttando il palcoscenico internazionale del MWC ma, a differenza del modello precedente, sarà acquistabile subito dopo il suo lancio. Secondo questi rumors, l’azienda sudcoreana è pronta a sorprendere anche per quanto riguarda le caratteristiche tecniche del G6. The next top of the range, in fact, could abandon the little appreciated modular concept proposed with the G5. LG would also be thinking of building the G6 by mounting glass and metal panels: in this way, the battery should no longer be removable.
Will the LG G6 also have wireless charging?
The rumors then claim that the G6 could support, like the iPhone 8 and Galaxy S8, wireless charging and integrate the iris scanner. Contrary to Apple and Samsung, however, LG may decide to keep the 3.5mm audio jack.
