LG's[1] latest flagship, the G6, went on sale[2] in India on Tuesday morning, exclusively via Amazon[3] online, and across multiple offline retailers at Rs. 51,999. In terms of pricing, that's a step down from Samsung's[4] rival Galaxy S8[5], which starts at Rs. 57,900.

At its launch event[6] on Monday, LG revealed that the G6 would be discounted by Rs. 10,000 for HDFC and SBI customers, as part of a limited-time offer on Amazon. That discount was valid until stocks last or 10pm on Tuesday, with the G6 temporarily a lot cheaper than even the Google Pixel[7], which is more than half a year old at this point.

If you missed out on that, you can still get the Reliance Jio[8] offer for the LG G6, which gets you 10GB of free data with every recharge of Rs. 309, amounting to a maximum of 100GB until March 2018.

As for the phone itself, you get Android[9] 7.0 'Nougat' with LG's UX 6.0, powered by a Snapdragon 821 and 4GB of memory. The LG G6 has a 5.7-inch quad-HD display, which is taller than regular displays, giving it a screen ratio of 18:9, as opposed to 16:9.

On the back, you get a dual-camera setup like the iPhone 7 Plus[10]. Both have the same resolution at 13 megapixels, but different capture area - 71-degree normal vs 125-degree wide-angle - and aperture, f/1.8 and f/2.4. On the front, the LG G6 gives you a 5-megapixel shooter with a 100-degree lens, and f/2.2 aperture.
