LGs next flagship device might feature Google Assistant

Google Assistant, which was exclusively available for Google Pixel and Pixel XL users, might include LG smartphones also in its fence.

According to the BusinessKorea reports, LGs next flagship device, G6 will "feature Google’s artificial intelligence (AI) voice assistant service, 'Google Assistant.'" If the reports are true, LG G6 will become the first non-Google phone to receive Assistant.

Google had launched the Assistant, naming it 'your own personal Google' which was limited only to Google phones. Allowing the south-Korean company to provide voice assistant to its users. It will end the exclusivity of Google's product. Which means we may see other Android devices also providing the feature shortly.

Moreover, the reports also suggest that LG is in talks with Amazon to include its voice assistant service, Alexa in G6. We can take its other smart product for reference, which already includes the Alexa services. With Google Assistants' arrival, Alexa's appearance is also being highly anticipated by the market analysts.

"According to industry sources on January 19, LG Electronics is actively seeking to technologically collaborate with Google and Amazon for its new products to be launched this year," the report said.

LG's next smartwatches are also lined up to be outfitted with Android Wear 2.0, that will be released early next month.
