About the Product
The revolutionary design of the Galaxy S8 begins from the inside out. We rethought every part of the phone's layout to break through the confines of the smartphone screen. So all you see is pure content and no bezel. It's the biggest, most immersive screen on a Galaxy smartphone of this size. And it's easy to hold in one hand.
Unlike other phones with a similar screen size, the large 5.7” display fits in your hand, giving you a big screen experience without the inconvenience of a big phone. The LG G6 is sculpted from aluminum and glass and is available in platinum and black. The 18:9 FullVision display with rounded corners and narrow bezels conclude the harmonious design.

What customers say about "Power"
Samsung Galaxy S8 Unlocked Mobile Phone
- The other things are perfect but my only issue is regarding to the battery performance and it's not as I saw from the reviews and some YouTubes.
LG G6 Sim-Free Smartphone
- Battery lasts all day no problem.
- The battery life is good enough to get me through the day with around 20-40%.
- Long battery life and quick charge.
- Biggest let down is the middling battery life.
- The battery life is about average. I list that as a con, because this is a flagship running an 821. It should be better than average.
