Lose the notch and get the LG V35 ThinQ for more than half off from Amazon

With phone manufacturers competing to deliver the best and most futuristic phone out there in terms of display and features, upgrading your smartphone could be no easy task. Apple may get away with a notch but one thing is set for sure, bezels are soon to be obsolete. LG’s V series is the tech giant’s top of the line flagship models sitting right above the esteemed G series. It’s good to see that LG certainly had no qualms letting go of the notch as it opted for a

sleeker nearly bezel-less design on the V35 ThinQ

. Flagship models usually reel in a hefty price tag and LG’s V35 ThinQ is no exception at $900 but then you can get it for only $400 with Amazon’s 56% price cut.

This LG V35 ThinQ unit is unlocked, meaning you are not tied to any particular carrier. An advantage for international travelers as they could just procure a local SIM instead of shelling out a huge sum on roaming fees. Also, the sale price would cost significantly less than the accumulated monthly payments to lease the phone with a provider. On the other hand, as a Prime Exclusive phone, this comes with pre-installed Amazon apps that would instantly give you access to the latest deals, movies, music, and more with Alexa.

LG nails the design on the V35 ThinQ with an all-glass exterior fitted into a military-grade aluminum frame. The 6-inch OLED Full Vision display is simply wonderful as it boasts a QHD+ resolution of 2,880 x 1,440 without a notch to obstruct your view from any angle. Its screen has an aspect ratio of 18:9 and appears to be as bright as it is sharp with impressive color accuracy. With an IP68 rating, dust or submerging it in water at a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes will hardly do any damage. You can press on the power button that doubles up as the fingerprint sensor below its dual-camera setup to make sure.

The LG V35 ThinQ’s combination of two 16-megapixel rear cameras could yield you more versatility with different apertures on either lens but you are not guaranteed the perfect shot in low-light conditions. However, the 8-megapixel front camera is capable of taking selfies especially when Portrait Mode is on. The camera may be a mixed bag but audiophiles could appreciate that the stereo speakers are equipped with DTS:X support and a hi-fi Quad Dac for a fuller sound overall.

The

LG V35 ThinQ is nothing short of a powerful phone

with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor on 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage expandable to 2TB with a microSD card. You’ll just be amazed by how smooth and fast its performance is regardless of multitasking or the games you’re playing. With a 3,300mAh battery, you’ll have enough juice to sustain you through the whole day but you can always bank on its USB-C fast charging capabilities or its support for wireless charging. Get this premium phone plus $500 in savings on Amazon.

The best iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max preorder deals and how to get them
The display on the iPhone 16 Pro.

Apple has officially announced the iPhone 16, and now you can begin to make your iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max preorder plans. At the time of this writing, things are still shaping up and we're still figuring out all of the details about where to preorder the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. However, you can already begin to plan your preorder on Apple's page, which also gives up a glimpse at carrier-specific deals. Here, we're focusing specifically on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which are housed separately in the Apple store, but we've also covered iPhone 16 and iPhone Plus preorder deals. We're going to look at how to plan your order via Apple and what we know about other retailers' offers. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will officially release on September 20.

We found that getting the best deal from the Apple store was not entirely straightforward. Follow along with our guide for your best price.
When are iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max preorders available?
If you preorder though Apple, you can begin at 5 a.m. on the September 13, with other places sure to follow. However, you can go ahead and plan your preorder on the Apple store now, and that is what we recommend for most people that want to get in on the action quick. With the most exciting iPhone 16 gen AI features belonging to the Pro and Pro Max versions of the phone, it makes sense to worry about missing out from being too slow to tap the 'Order' button. But that could lead to errors when navigating the confusing order page, inputting your trade in phone, etc. Please note that some carrier-specific deals on the Apple store page say "Get ready on 9.11" instead of "Pre-order on 9.13" though it is not fully apparent what it means to get ready at this time.

IPhone 16 colors.

While we were aware of the iPhone 16's upcoming release for quite some time, the official announcement and features overview just dropped — as did the ability to find iPhone 16 preorder deals. But where should you order yours from? We'll take a look at all of the places offering the new iPhone, highlighting the best preorder deals available. Here, we're tackling the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, which are grouped together on Apple's site. We'll cover the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max preorders separately. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be available on September 20th.

Please note that getting the best deal from the Apple store is, in fact, tricky. Follow along with our guide to get your best price.
When are iPhone 16 preorders available?
Before we jump in, you should be aware of something. You can plan your preorder today, but you won't be able to execute it until later. Store pages on Apple are up, but it seems you can't check out until 5:00 AM PDT on the September 13. Note that some carrier-specific deals say "Get ready on 9.11" while others say "Pre-order on 9.13" though what exactly differentiates getting ready from preordering is not fully apparent at this time.
