LG to Unveil G6 Smartphone and Smartwatches at Mobile World Congress

While Korean electronics giant Samsung will be absent in this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, another Korean company is getting ready to take center stage and unveil their latest flagship G6 smartphone: LG. The new LG G6 features rounded corners and a slim with an unusual 2:1 aspect ratio on its 5.7″ display.

It will include an “LG Watch Sport” and an “LG Watch Style” version, both the result of the team up with Google and will have standalone LTE and Google Play capabilities.
