14 DAY TRIAL // LG announced its latest flagship smartphone, the V20, last month and the device is already available for purchase in South Korea. The V20 is the first smartphone announced with Android 7.0 Nougat on board out of the box and comes with enhanced audio capabilities.
The mobile phone will be released next week, but it seems that pre-orders have already gone live at some US carriers. Pre-orders for the V20 are already live at T-Mobile, but the smartphone won’t ship until October 28.
T-Mobile is offering some freebies for V20 pre-orders, customers can get a pair of B&O headphones, priced at $149, or either the LG G Pad X 8.0 or the LG G Pad F 8.0 tablet. However, the entry-level tablets are only offered to customers who purchase the V20 through monthly payments.
Customers who have a 4G LTE smartphone can trade it in for a V20 and T-Mobile will even give them at least $200 bill credit, depending on the smartphone that they’re trading in.
The V20 is already available at some third-party retailers in the US
The V20 carries a full retail price of $769.99 at T-Mobile, customers can pay $49.99 upfront and 24 monthly payments of $30 for the phone. There’s also the option to avoid down payments and get the phone with 18 monthly installments of $34.
Verizon will start making the V20 available on its website starting October 20 and in its brick and mortar stores on October 27. Verizon will also offer B&O Play earphones for customers who buy the V20, but the price of the phone at the US carrier has yet to be announced.
Customers who are looking to get the V20 unlocked can head over to B&H or Newegg. B&H will start accepting pre-orders for the V20 on October 19 and will offer an LG G Pad for those who buy the $799 smartphone. Newegg is already taking pre-orders and is offering the same tablet and a battery bank for the same price.
