The LG G6 flagship smartphone has been launched in India, bringing a rival to the new Samsung Galaxy S8 within days of its arrival in the country. The new LG G6 smartphone will be available exclusively on Amazon India for online sales, and can also be purchased from offline stores starting Tuesday, April 25. As for pre-orders, the smartphone has been up for advanced bookings since the past few days. Those who had pre-ordered LG G6 will get cashback of up to Rs. 7,000 and a discount on LG Tone Active+ HBS-A100 wireless headset.

LG G6 price in India

The LG G6 price in India is Rs. 51,990 (MOP), which makes it significantly cheaper than the flagship of rival South Korean company, Samsung. To recall, the Samsung Galaxy S8 was launched in India starting at Rs. 57,900. Notably though, the specifications of the two smartphones are not comparable for one major reason - the LG G6 runs on the 14nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 SoC, an year-old offering, compared with the Samsung Galaxy S8 and its 10nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC (or 10nm Samsung Exynos 8895 SoC). It will be available in Astro Black and Ice Platinum colour variants in India.
