How to buy the LG G7 ThinQ

The LG G7 ThinQ is now available for pre-order from Google's Project Fi

LG has officially taken the wraps off of its newest flagship, the LG G7 ThinQ, and it features some pretty awesome specs, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 4GB and 6GB RAM options, and a 12-megapixel dual-camera array with a wide-angle lens.

In addition to the usual features we have come to expect on a smartphone in 2018, the LG G7 ThinQ has another trick up its sleeve: A Boombox Speaker that offers punchy sound and actual bass. To learn more about the G7 and its features, check out our review. If you’re ready to buy one, read on to find the best deals for your next phone.

Buying the LG G7 ThinQ from a carrier

Google Project Fi

The LG G7 ThinQ is now available for pre-order from Google Project Fi, making it one of the few high-end phones available from the carrier. The pricing comes in at $750, but if you get it on Project Fi, Google will also throw in a $100 Project Fi bill credit if you order the phone before July 7.

U.S. Cellular

U.S. Cellular is currently offering a great deal on the newly released LG G7 ThinQ.

Prospective buyers can either buy the G7 ThinQ SIM-free for $750, or can save $300 through U.S. Cellular’s 30-month installment plan. If you go for the monthly option, you’ll pay just $15 a month, with no money upfront. However, this cut-price deal is only available until June 30, 2018 — after which, the phone will be available for $25 a month.

Verizon

If you’re on America’s largest carrier, you can now order the LG G7 ThinQ directly through the Verizon Wireless website.

Verizon is offering the LG G7 ThinQ at both its retail price of $750, as well as part of its monthly payment option. If you choose monthly payments, you’ll pay just $31.25 for 24 months. As an added bonus, Verizon is offering an additional $100 off LG’s latest flagship for a limited time in conjunction with other trade-in discounts.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile started selling the LG G7 on June 1. The handset will set you back $30 a month for 24 months (you’ll need to pay $30 first), and the full retail price comes out to $750. If you’re on T-Mobile, you may want to consider the Raspberry Rose color that’s “exclusive” to the carrier.

The magenta carrier is also offering a buy-one-get-one-free program for the G7, though you need to purchase both phones on equipment installment plans in exchange for monthly bill credits. This program is still available for the LG G6 and LG V30.

AT&T

AT&T will not sell the LG G7 ThinQ, instead opting to sell the new LG V35, another LG flagship that’s a little pricier.

Sprint

Looking for the LG G7 ThinQ on the Sprint network? Well, you’re in luck: The G7 ThinQ has been available from Sprint since June 1.

Unlike most carriers, Sprint does not finance phones. Instead, it offers an 18-month lease program on its devices so you can easily switch phones every 12 to 16 months. For a limited time, Sprint is offering a BOGO promotion where new and upgrading customers can lease two LG G7 ThinQ handsets for one monthly lease payment of $33.

U.S. Cellular

U.S. Cellular is offering the LG G7 ThinQ on its network. Since June 1, U.S. Cellular customers have been able to order LG’s 2018 flagship in stores and online. Like most carriers, U.S. Cellular offers a monthly payment plan that will allow you to pay for the G7 over time.

Buying the LG G7 ThinQ unlocked

If you like to keep your options open, buying the LG G7 ThinQ unlocked may be your best choice. You’re not tied to any carrier and can switch at will, though you may need to pay the full price of the phone upfront if LG doesn’t offer any payment plans. The unlocked LG G7 ThinQ is available for pre-order from B&H, where it comes at $750.

Update: The LG G7 is available for pre-order from Google Project Fi.

The dual-screen LG G8X ThinQ launches on November 1 for just $700

Two screens on a regular smartphone? That's what LG's G8X ThinQ Dual Screen is promising. It's similar to the dual-screen attachment LG showed off at MWC 2019 on the V50 ThinQ, but there have been a lot of changes to improve this new version over the first, and it has made it a considerably more interesting solution to our modern multi-tasking woes.

But a dual-screen accessory isn't the only new feature with the LG G8X ThinQ. From an ASMR mode to a 32-megapixel selfie camera, here’s everything you need to know about it.
The phone
The LG G8X ThinQ is a revised version of the LG G8, also released earlier this year. The design is identical, so it has a smooth, lightweight body that’s warm to the touch. It weighs 192 grams and is 8.8mm thick. On the front is a 6.4-inch OLED screen with a small teardrop notch at the top, and it has an FHD+ resolution. The screen also contains a fingerprint sensor, similar to Samsung's Galaxy S10 range.

Best tech of IFA 2019: From OLED TVs to lightning-fast laptops
what to expect ifa version 1472524207 topics page featured image 1500x1000

IFA 2019 was a disappointment. We attended the various media events and trawled the show floor for a week, and kept seeing the same kit from different brands -- there wasn't anything entirely inventive. But that doesn't mean that there wasn't some solid hardware at the event, because there was: Asus showcased a bonkers laptop, Philips brought along a gorgeous OLED TV, and Sony launched a new Walkman. With that in mind, here's the best tech we saw at IFA 2019 (even if it isn't the best on the market).
Asus ProArt StudioBook Pro X

Designed to rival the Apple MacBook Pro, the Asus ProArt StudioBook Pro X is a laptop that bundles desktop-class performance in a mobile form. We won't dive into the specifications here, but it packs more than enough punch to handle just about any task you could possibly throw its way with ease. Want to render a video? No problem -- the 64GB of RAM and 1TB SSD will take care of that. Want to stream a video? There's a 4K Ultra HD screen. Want to play a game? The hardware should run almost anything, maxed out.

Motorola One Action vs. Moto G7: Which budget phone is your best bet?
Motorola One Action-Hands-O

Motorola releases a lot of phones, so it can be tough to tell them apart. The Motorola One Action is similar to the recent Motorola One Vision, but that phone is not coming to the U.S., whereas the One Action is. With an aggressive price, there's a risk that the Moto One Action will cannibalize sales of the best budget phone in the $300 space -- the Moto G7.  There are lots of differences here, so let's compare these two Motorola phones and find out which is the right pick for you.
