New LG G6 teasers put the focus on reliability and possible waterproofing feature

With Samsung pushing back the release of its latest flagship, we can’t stress enough how important it is for LG to take advantage of the opportunity. And the South Korean brand seems to be making the most of it with its latest round of teasers for the LG G6. Two new teasers focus on talking about reliability with the words “Reliability. Check, check, check.” Whether this takes a stab at the troubles Samsung has faced or even to address the own flaws of its units, it’s a good thing to focus on.

LG drops more hints about G6 in MWC invite

It seems now’s the best time for LG to steal Samsung’s thunder at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona. With Samsung delaying the release of the Galaxy S8, this could be LG’s big chance to capitalize on it. Engadget received their invite for the G6’s unveiling at MWC. It has the words: “Big Screen… That Fits.” The words as well as the diagram shows off a device with a minimal bezel but it’ll come in the size you can manage. LG has previously said the device will have a unique 18:9 ratio display and calls it Full Vision. We can’t say if LG plans to drop more hints about its upcoming flagship but what we do know is it’ll be debuting on February 26.

Samsung Galaxy S8 might get teased at MWC 2017, sports new home button location

Rumours have been swirling for a while now that Samsung planned to nix the home button for its upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S8. That seems to be partially true—at least according to leaks of the smartphone. It’s being reported that while Samsung won’t launch the phone at MWC 2017 this month, they will preview the device ahead of its official launch.

And a new render of the device shows that the phone will sport a home button but it won’t be where you once saw it. Taking cues from LG, the Samsung Galaxy S8 will supposedly have the home button at the rear of the device but instead of under the camera sensor, it’ll be located to the right of the device. The reason is this is supposedly a natural position for the right index finger to reach. However, it seems they didn’t take into account left-handed users. Well, we don’t have to wait too long to get a first look at the actual phone. What do you think about this rumoured design decision?
