LG G6 poll: Quad DAC, wireless charging, or 64GB?
If you're in South Korea, for example, then you'll be
treated to 64GBs of storage and a quad DAC capable of delivering
higher-quality audio from the headphone jack. Koreans won't get wireless
charging though; that's a feature reserved for buyers only in the US
who, conversely, won't get a quad DAC or the choice of a beefier 64GB
phone. Europeans get nothing: no quad DAC, no wireless charging, and no
64GB model — the European G6 maxes out at 32GB just like the US. Some
other Asian regions, like India, will also get the 64GB model.
So I'm curious. Of these options, which do you prioritize the highest?
LG has offered four 32-bit digital-to-analog converters
from ESS on both the V20 and the V10 that preceded it. The G6's quartet
of DACs are supposed to improve upon those. Good thing, too, because
Chris Welch "didn’t notice much difference"
between the audio played on the V20 review unit and his iPhone. Maybe
you will, but you'll need decent wired headphones, quality music
sources, and an environment free of ambient noise to properly exploit
the capability.
The US version of the G6, meanwhile, supports both Qi and
PMA wireless charging. That's a big convenience to those of you with
ready access to charging pads in your cars, offices, cafes, and homes.
The storage limitation is at least offset by the G6's microSD expansion
option, but some of you will certainly desire 64GB of ultra-fast flash
memory baked right into your handset.
Choices, choices. The other option is to just wait for
LG's unannounced V-series phone which LG suggests will be sold without
any regional compromises. But let's keep things focused on the G6 for
now, shall we?
