The LG G6 Plus is a robust variant of the standard G6, enhancing the original hardware configuration with 4GB of RAM and a spacious 128GB of internal storage, further expandable via microSD. Its main pros include a premium, durable build with an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, military-grade MIL-STD-810G certification, and a vibrant 5.7-inch FullVision display with a modern 18:9 aspect ratio. It also features a versatile 13MP dual-camera system and a high-fidelity 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC for superior audio output. The primary cons are that it utilizes the slightly older Snapdragon 821 processor and has a non-removable 3300mAh battery.
