In a nutshell, the new LG G6 veered away from the modular approach seen on the somewhat lackluster G5 and went for a different direction including water- & dust-resistance and a display with an unusual 18:9 aspect ratio. The new LG G6 is armed with a screen size that spans 5.7 inches across and an aspect ratio of 18:9 which is longer compared to the commonly-used 16:9 settings. The fact that LG made a smartphone that sports the 18:9 or 2:1 aspect ratio means the company foresees a demand for it. The point is, LG has made the first leap into this new implementation and they're pretty confident that other brands will also follow suit in the long run (Samsung is also rumored to use this same aspect ratio for their upcoming device).
