LG is the first smartphone manufacturer to bring the new 18:9 aspect ratio to the mid-range devices. It launched the LG Q6, Q6 Plus, and Q6 Alpha smartphones with FullVison display offering Full HD+ resolution.

The fingerprint sensor is now moved to the rear of the device. Unlike the high-end Galaxy smartphones, these mid-range devices feature it below the rear camera.
