LG G6 being the first premium phone to be released this year, it stands to be a hit amongst consumers thus shaking up the sluggish mobile telecommunications market that took a hit in the latter half of last year.

LG G6 has already been off to a good start with around 40,000 units pre-ordered in a span of four days. In fact, the booking of G6 in the past two days has surpassed the achievements of last year’s flagship LG G5.
