The LG G6 launched earlier this year and has
received generally positive reviews. According to a new report
from South Korean site etnews, LG may be planning to launch two additional G6
models, initially for its home market of Korea. The site doesn’t cite any
sources, so we’ll have to proceed with skepticism.
According to the report, LG will release a G6 Plus
and G6 Pro to be sold alongside the LG G6. The G6 Plus would feature wireless
charging capabilities and come with a larger 128GB of internal storage and a
higher price at 1,000,000 Won (US$ 891). Meawhile, the G6 Pro would feature less
storage space at 32GB and a slightly lower price of 790,000 Won (US$ 704). All
this while the regular G6 is priced at 899,800 Won (US$ 801).
The only apparent differences between models appears
to be the storage capacities and perhaps the wireless charging capability on
the Plus model. As per a chart at the bottom of the source page, all models
would keep the same Snapdragon 821 and 5.7-inch Full Vision display. It sounds
more like LG will release two other G6’s with differing storage sizes, which
wouldn’t really warrant different name.
The models allegedly will go on sale at the end of
the month via three mobile carriers in Korea. In addition, LG is reportedly
releasing a second variant to the V series which is expected to be announced
later in the year.
