Engadget did mention that G6 wont have the Quad DAC chip in US. not sure about EU but i think it will be same no Quad DAC. really stupid move LG
More info from XDA:
Quite a few features of the G6 are region-specific. The phone will only feature dual SIM support in the middle east and CIS, the larger storage option is mainly for the Asian market, the US is the only region getting wireless charging and HiFi quad DAC is not available in the vast majority of the world as well. When questioned on the matter, LG had the following to say “We see different needs in different markets, we chose to support these needs individually to be more local to the markets. Most markets don’t appreciate DAC.” To justify the lack of wireless charging outside the US, they stated that other markets prefer the speed of charging with cables over the ease of wireless charging.
