LG G5 pre-orders are starting to open up. SIM-free you’re looking at £529, while contracts are starting at £31 per month. All the latest info below!
It’s all change at the top in the flagship smartphone world, as after the slightly disappointing G4, LG has pulled out all the stops for its next flagship.
Now the LG G5 has been officially announced we know it has an always-on 5.3-inch QHD screen, a dual-lens camera, a metal body, a ‘magic slot’ for customisable hardware and enough power to go blow-for-blow with the Samsung Galaxy S7.
In short, the LG G5 is a phone that’s set to impress when it lands in stores in April.
If you’re already impressed, you might be wondering where you can get it and how much it will cost you. If you’re in that camp, you’re in luck, as we’ll bring you all the information from retailers and networks as it’s revealed, with this article constantly updated with the information from all the UK’s top outlets.
EE
EE has flung open its LG G5 pre-order doors and if you’re in the first 2,000 you’ll be treated a B&O Play H3 headphones and S3 speaker set worth over £400.
The highlighted deal on the EE site requires you to pay £9.99 up front for the G5, and then £39.99 every month for two years. In return you’ll get 4GB of data, unlimited texts and minutes, double speed 4G and EU roaming.
You can pay as little as £29.99 per month, but you’ll have to stump up £99.99 upfront and you’ll get just 1GB of data.
There’s no firm release date, but EE says stock is “usually dispatched within 15 days, to you or your local EE store.”
O2
You can register for updates on the LG G5 over at O2, which will also be stocking the flagship smartphone in the near future. We don’t know exactly when, and we don’t have any prices just yet – but it’s on its way.
