By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

LG revealed a brand new flagship smartphone in Barcelona earlier today. The LG G6 is a back-to-basics device designed for reliability, performance, as well as water-resistance. Featuring a 5.7-inch display with thin bezels, this is a larger smartphone that's designed to fit better in user's hands.

The 5.70-inch QHD+ (2,880 x 1,440 resolution) FullVision display has a unique 18:9 screen aspect ratio. Compared to conventional 16:9 aspect ratio displays, the 18:9 format offers more viewing space and a more immersive experience as well as improved multi-screen experiences. The corners of the display are also rounded, something we haven't seen since the Palm Pre.
