LG has launched the G6 with the UX 6.0 user interface, which offers a wealth of features.
LG has introduced its best 2017 product to the world about 5 months ago during the World Mobile Congress. LG is the first company to unveil a smartphone with an aspect ratio of 18: 9, so that the Koreans will be able to make the most of this aspect ratio, the LG G6 with a new version of its proprietary UX interface 6.0. LG is the first company to unveil a smartphone with an aspect ratio of 18: 9, so that the Koreans will be able to make the most of this aspect ratio, the LG G6 with a new version of its proprietary UX interface 6.0.
According to research and surveys conducted by LG, the Koreans have one of the most important demands of users with a small-sized smartphone, and at the same time a large display. LG has developed a new technology called FullVision to cover the demands of users, thanks to which the LG G6 display ratio has changed from a typical 16: 9 to 18: 9 aspect ratio.
Thanks to the 18: 9 aspect ratio, the LG G6 displays up to 13 percent more content than the previous one, giving the user more space for both multitasking and simultaneous application of the apps; hence the Korean version 6.0 of the dedicated user interface They have tried to make the most of the added space by dividing the different software environments into two 1: 1 quadrants with a 1: 1 ratio, giving the user an enjoyable experience.
Among the many benefits that the LG UX UI brings with the features of the FullVision G6 display, one can mention the following:
A distinctive and enjoyable experience of watching video and surfing the web
The Fullvision G6 display offers a new and unique experience of viewing content for users. By changing the aspect ratio of the G6 display from a conventional 16: 9 to 18: 9, there is an additional space in the top and bottom of the display; this additional space allows users to view more information during browsing and reading, and experience Learn to watch videos or play games on your phone.
Given that it is anticipated that in the near future more handsets will be launched with a 18: 9 aspect ratio; many content makers and developers will also attempt to adapt their films, apps and games to this aspect ratio, but for the time being as the 18: 9 aspect ratio changes to a standard, for the user experience of the G6 phone is not damaged, the LG has provided the UX 6.0 user interface with the ability to watch 16: 9 content in the 18: 9 aspect ratio.
Improved user experience in the camera software section to take advantage of the 18: 9 add-on space.
LG has significantly improved the user experience of using the G6 camera software in terms of ease of use and visual appeal, taking advantage of the 18: 9 aspect ratio. In version 6.0 of the LG interface, users can simultaneously capture and review images. The user interface allows the user to divide the display into two identical squares, allowing the user to display images in a 1: 1 format (a popular format used on various social networks such as the Instagram) Register and review them in the other square.
LG has also featured the "Food Mode" for those users who are interested in image recording of their food; this is in fact one of the photography modes with the G6 camera, allowing the user to record images with saturated colors And high quality. Koreans have also been able to create giff files by combining 2 to 100 photos.
Advanced multitasking, with the simultaneous implementation of two apps in the form of two fully-square windows
Thanks to the UX 6.0 user interface, LG has fully utilized the potential of the 18: 9 G 6 display; the user can run an audio call application alongside the calendar or send a message while browsing the images in the gallery application. LG has been able to merge square images and display them as Collage Wallpaper in the Lock Screen.
A user can browse the web at the same time in a square window and in the other square window user can write a note. While working with the calendar app by turning the G6 and holding it in landscape mode, the calendar is displayed in the left pane, while the details of the appointments and programs of the person are displayed in another window.
LG has released its new flagship by default with Android 7.0; the appearance of the operating system, thanks to its proprietary LG UX 6.0 interface, has undergone massive changes and is far from its net version. Koreans call their full-screen UX a dedicated interface to emphasize the uniqueness of the G6 display. LG has used two identical squares in different parts of the of the G6 interface , which are arranged side by side either vertically or horizontally. This template is featured in a number of default G6 applications, such as the music player, calendar, and parts of the audience app.
Koreans have the always-on display feature enabled To display time and notifications in the LG G6. User can choose from three digital clock modes, analog clock and signature, one for display on the screen. Always on display enables notifications of all apps to be displayed. LG has also been able to set a specific time interval to disable the feature. On the G6 lock-screen page, five shortcuts can be selected; in default mode, two shortcuts are selected for call and camera applications that are displayed in the lower part of the lock-screen. The lock-screen also displays the weather through a live wallpaper with rain drops or snowflakes.
The fingerprint sensor of the G6 is positioned on the rear panel of the phone and allows for the recording of five different fingerprints; the sensor performs very well and quickly enters the interface from the locked state. The user can use the fingerprint sensor to secure the content of the Gallery apps and QuickMemo +. LG, like the previous generation of G series handsets, has also removed AppDrawer this year from the G6 interface by default; of course, you can return the AppDrawer from the Settings section. But an interesting point is that the appearance of folders is different with and without the AppDrawer window.
Thanks to Android Nougat, The ability to simultaneously run two applications or split the page, has flown to the new flagship of LG; but this time , The ability to simultaneously run applications in the form of an Android operating system is available to the users of the G6. Currently, many apps (not all of them) support the ability to run concurrently with other apps. You can use this feature in portrait or landscape mode, but you must remember that Google has limited split views for displaying two apps; in portrait mode, you can choose between 50/50, 60/40 And 40/60; however, only 50/50 can be used in landscape mode.
LG has returned QSlide to its flagship again in 2017, and it's used on the G6. Thanks to this feature, you can run some applications, such as a call and video application in the form of floating windows; LG has also made it possible to resize and increase the transparency of these windows. LG has also made a lot of visual changes in the notifications section and has introduced slider to change the brightness of the display, which is a very practical feature, while also allowing the user to edit the keyboard shortcuts to the user's preferences.
One of the problems with high-end displays is the difficult access to the top edge of the display to view the notifications section. LG has made it possible to personalize the navigation bar to resolve this problem; in addition to changing the sorting of the main navigation keys (return, home, and ticking switches), the fourth key also comes from the QSlide keys, the screen saver recording tool + Capture and shortcut notifications to the navigation bar. If you swipe down in the G6 HomeScreen, you will see the In-app Search page; as you can see from the name of this page, you can search for your own phrases among apps, contacts, and settings, as well as the location.
On the Task Switcher page, LG has considered the clear all key to remove all recent apps. In addition, at the top of the card for the apps, there are two keys to run in split screen mode and pin them into the taskbar switch. When one of the apps pin to the page, it will not be cleared by clicking the Clear All button. In the new flagship of LG, when uninstalling the app, it will be moved to the App Trash for 24 hours before it is completely uninstalled, so it can be restored if you change your mind about the application. . LG for apps that may not be compatible with the 18: 9 aspect ratio of the G6 display, has a feature called App Scaling; thanks to this feature, the navigation bar gets a bit taller (its 1.3-point ratio: 9 to 2: 9) so that the apps run as if the aspect ratio on the G6 display (regardless of the navigation bar) is 16: 9.
Generally speaking, although the LG interface is different from Android, it's not uncomfortable or slow. LG spent a lot of time designing the icons and color of the various sections, in order to match the phone's interface with its appearance and color. The 6.0 version of LG's UX interface looks beautiful, so that the user does not necessarily have to install another launcher.
