There are two highly probable reasons why you might be reading these lines right now. One: you're torn between the LG G6 and the LG G5, and two: you're already a G5 owner who's wondering whether upgrading is worth it.If you belong to the former camp and y...
Abstract: MWC is just beginning, and LG is slated to show off the G6. Since we're just about to look ahead, I'm taking a look back at the LG G5. This phone was a flop, but now that the price has dropped, it's worth taking a look at again. Well, not too close a loo...
