LG is reportedly working on a smaller display-size variant of its G6 smartphone, though name the device has not been revealed. According to a report in TechnoBuffalo, the new LG G6 option will features a 5.4-inch display with 80 per cent screen-to-body ratio. Smaller sized LG G6 will come with the same 18:9 screen-to-body ratio that we saw on the original G6.
For LG, a smaller option for G6 makes sense given its key competitors like Apple and Samsung offer more than one screen-size variants for their flagship smartphones. iPhone 7, Apple’s last year flagship comes in 4.7-inch display while iPhone 7 Plus has a 5.5-inch screen.

LG G6 is offers more viewing space in a compact form factor thanks to the near ‘Bezel-less’ display. LG G6 comes with a 18:9 display ratio, which the company says is the first in any smartphone.
LG G6 features a metal and glass design. It comes with 13MP+13MP dual rear camera setup with 125 and 71 degree field of view respectively. The front-facing camera is 5MP with f/2.2 aperture and 100-degree field of view. LG G6 gets IP68 rating, which means the smartphone is water and dust resistance.
