LG G6+, LG G6 32 GB announced in new colors

Earlier this month, there were claims that the South Korean tech giant might announce two new variants of its flagship, LG G6. Well, these new models were speculated to be the LG G6 Plus and LG G6 Pro.

While the speculations pointed out a June 27 launch for these new devices, it looks like the company has already announced them with the monikers LG G6+ and LG G6 32GB. LG sells different models of its flagship smartphone in different markets.

Some countries such as the US market have the LG G6 (launched at the MWC 2017) with support for wireless charging while other markets like South Korea have the device without wireless charging.

LG G6+, LG G6 32GB specs

The newly launched LG G6+ will be exclusively available only in South Korea. It features wireless charging feature and a high storage capacity of 128GB.
