【Watch Friends】

There's a lot to like about the LG G6. After trying out the whole modular phone thing with the G5 last year,Watch Friends LG's returned this year with a more practical premium phone that fits a 5.7-inch display into a phone body normally designed for a 5.2-inch screen.

In many ways, the LG G6 is a look at what's to come for all premium phones: big screens with super slim bezels that fill up most of the front of the phone.

For guys like Apple and Samsung, such a phone wouldn't be a hard sell. But for LG, who's seen its phone sales plummet over the years, it's a uphill battle. What's a struggling phone maker to do to drum up interest? Apparently, the answer is to hand out freebies like TVs and Google Home.

All four major U.S. carriers have announced the LG G6 will launch on April 7. Pricing ranges from $650 to $720, depending on the carrier.

At first glance it might seem like LG's making the same mistake it's made in the past, and not undercutting the iPhone on price. But, that's not exactly a fair argument.

A fairer comparison would be to pit the G6 against the 5.5-inch iPhone 7 Plus, which has a more similar screen size, but starts at $770. Even with the different carrier pricing, the LG G6 still comes out cheaper than the iPhone 7 Plus.
