I call BULL$HIT. I get 3 to 4 HRS SOT max (G600K), and I'm no stranger to optimizing an android handset to maximize the battery. Further, you can check youtube for some popular android websites doing 6 month follow up reviews for the LG G6 (Android Central, Android Authority, etc) and in 3 of the reviews I watched they complained about battery life of the device saying they only could get about 3 to 3.5 hours of SOT before needing to plug in and recharge.

Now, it's possible that the G600K (Korean) variant has some issues (kernel variation, carrier bloat, etc) that is causing the poor battery life, but whatever the case may be, all LG G6 variants are NOT created equal. It may also be that I'm using the Korean variant in the USA on T-Mobile, but I don't think that's the issue since the aforementioned Youtube reviewers (respected and popular android websites) were experiencing the same issues.

You can call it all day but it is what it is. I never get under 4.5 hours. And I usually get 6ish with ease.

I have an H870 (South Africa) but I run both the SA and OPen EU software (at different times) and battery is solid with both, average of about 6 hrs SoT but I have gotten over 7 too, so I'm chuffed.

Maybe it's because the reviewers on YT use US and KR devices, while some here have the H870 model.
I own an unbranded device, H870, and I got about 5 to 5 1/2 hrs SOT on stock ROM and on LineageOS I am at about 4 1/2 hrs (brightness 50%). Usually I still have about 25% of battery left after a school day and some browsing at home. Can't complain at all, performs a lot better than my previous phones.
(Got the phone 3 months ago, just saying, could be a factor)
