I will untick that option and try and record it without tapping to wake screen and you can see ....
It's about same as the S8. It's fast. TBH, I will still use fingerprint, though I normally have smart unlock enabled anyway.
Got a tip for us?

I've been using it for a few weeks now and must say that it's the best Android phone I've ever owned, from Sony to Samsung Galaxy phones, this one just feels great, works wonderfully, great performance, has a fantastic screen, and is aesthetically pleasing.

It's really become the unsung underdog this year ... The best value flagship phone that most people won't buy or even be aware of.
So true. I don't quite understand it. I'm still using my iPhone 7 Plus, but in all honesty, for media consumption, the LG G6 is far more pleasurable to me and the IP7+ display feels like an insult to my eyes by comparison.
I've been really looking forward to getting the new iPhone come September... However, given that the LG V30 is just around the corner as well, I no longer know if I really want the new iPhone as I've been enjoying the LG so much and I'm going to assume that the LG V30 will be much more of the same, only better.
Tried the LG G6 and here are my initial thoughts:
Screen is very impressive. Full brightness is very accurate and isn't too saturated. However, auto-brightness seemed very dim compared to the GS8/GS8+.
Idk if autorotation wasn't working problem on the YouTube app when I used the demo model, but I had to set that on manually on my own. The app also had trouble with the keyboard w/ the "X delete button" being close to the search button so it caused the demo unit to act up a bit. Swiftkey will take care of that though.
32gb internal storage seems too little as well. Good thing there is a SD card.
The processor doesn't seem bad at all. It's no 835, but 821 is no slouch. I haven't noticed any micro stutters or lagging. The UI isn't aesthetically pleasing, but it's not bad as the LG G3's UI set up. Not sure what's the point of the Q Slide. The facial detection @MRU shared inspires confidence regarding using that in conjunction with the FP sensor.
The build quality is great. The black model seems better to watch videos on, but the silver one looks like a better device color to buy. The sound isn't too bad. I am definitely interested in this device. Time will tell if I get one.

@nviz22, I can't replicate those YouTube app issues that you speak of that you experienced with the demo model. I use the YouTube app excessively and there've been zero issues with it for me, both in terms of auto-rotation and the delete button.
As for the UI, I didn't like it much either and instantly put the Nova Launcher Prime over it.

Yeah no issues with YouTube here either. Mine auto rotates without problem. Could be a Issue with the store device / rom they use.
I actually don't mind the UI, I switch between Nova and stock UX 6.0 and generally prefer to just use UX 6.0 on it. I have set it up with two screens like so ..

Good to hear. I am going to still use Swiftkey as my default keyboard if I get the LG G6. Nova Launcher might make an appearance on my future phone for the first time in awhile.
I really like Swiftkey. Recently, however, I've been using GBoard and find that one to be even nicer to use.
There is a deal on right now for the LG G6 where they also give you a Style Watch and paid of fancy B&O headphones, all for an obcenely low price.
Gotta agree, this phone should be getting snapped up left, right and centre! But the power of Samsung's marketing is trumping LG.

Which wallpaper is this? Me likes.
Do you feel the G6 has one of the best displays and have you adjusted the dpi?

Here is the wallpaper and another of my favourites.
I am using standard scaling (middle of the scale) in settings with medium font.

Where is that Face Unlock update for the LG G6 in the States? That would be a welcomed sight before I commit to buying a LG G6. Right now, the iPhone is in first place, but I am not so keen on spending around $650 for it after tax and trading in my SE via bill credit if T-Mobile offers its same promotion as last year.
Would you not consider just buying it outright from online retailer like eglobal or similar for $380-400. The H870DS has all the radio frequencies for USA I believe.
Is the LG G6 a type of phone you have to spend a lot of time debloating and package disabling to get good battery life and reliable performance? Or is that mainly for Samsung devices? I want to consider only Android devices that can mimic an iPhone experience: no frills and just works while having top notch hardware.
