LG's new G6+ smartphone includes Quad DAC and B&O headphones

The LG G6 only came out a couple of months ago, but LG has already released a new version. Called the LG G6+, it's basically the same phone with a few key modifications: it now starts with 128GB of storage and has a couple of new colours - optical marine blue, optical terra gold - but, most importantly, it has the 32-bit Quad DAC that was previously only found in Asian versions of the phone.

To enjoy that Quad DAC, the new phone also comes with some B&O Play headphones - although LG doesn't specify which model.

Since the audio quality of the standard G6 was disappointing, we hope this new iteration will remedy the original's lacklustre sound.

A few other software features are scheduled for a later update of the phone. These include 'Face Print', which lets you unlock your phone simply by holding it up to your face, a low-power mode and a 'covered lens' warning when you inadvertently put your fingers over the camera.

While we don't know exactly when (or where) the G6+ will hit the market - sometime in July is the best we can say for now - we're hopeful it'll be coming to the UK's shores.
