LG is giving away a free Google Home to anyone who buys the new LG G6

Here is a pretty excellent deal to be aware of: Buy a new LG G6 and get a Google Home for free if you buy the device through the LG website. In other words, you can get two Google Assistant-enabled devices for the price of one.

The deal went live on Wednesday and will run until April 30, so you have over a month to make use of the deal if you want to. If you decide that indeed you want to buy the phone, all you have to do is head to the website set up for the promo and sign up.

The LG G6 launched at Mobile World Congress 2017 and has so far been well reviewed. In our hands-on review of the device, we noted that the phone features a stunningly beautiful design that features two slates of Gorilla Glass with a metal frame — making it look and feel extremely premium. The device also features a dual camera and both sensors are 13MP with one being a wide angle. Last but not least, it features QuickCharge 3.0 and Android 7.0 Nougat.

Google Home has also been generally well received, though some do not find it as useful as the Amazon Echo, which uses Amazon’s Alexa digital assistant. Still, Home features Google Assistant — so if you’re an avid Android user, it should work better across your devices and with your Google account.

Regardless of the review, the deal is a pretty good one. Google Home is priced at $130, so you will be saving all that if you intended on buying both devices anyway. If you weren’t, this is LG’s big attempt at convincing you to do so — and if you’re an Android user the new G6 is a pretty great choice.

The 6 best LG smartphones of all time, ranked

FM Radio

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you somehow aren’t already aware, LG is officially exiting the mobile world. In our business, news like this is never worth celebrating. Competition breeds innovation, and LG’s mobile forays were nothing if not innovative. And so, what better way to honor its decadeslong contributions than by waxing nostalgia over its best devices of all time? Or perhaps you grieve differently, preferring instead to examine the uglier side of the LG’s legacy? I’ve got that covered, too.
No. 6: LG V20

While its older sibling, the V10, had a lot of bark and little bite, the V20 offered some truly unrivaled features. Though not the first phone with a focus on audio quality, it brought to the table LG’s very first Quad DAC as well as three microphones that together enabled high-fidelity audio recording and playback as well as support for FLAC files. All of that might sound buzzy and confusing for the uninitiated, but for audiophiles, this is what has made LG the only manufacturer worth supporting for much of its later years.

Google’s Pixel 5, Pixel 4a 5G, and Nest Home speaker arrive on September 30

Google Pixel 4a Front

Unlike the rest of the tech industry, which has largely been on time, if not a little late this year, it looks like Google is holding its annual hardware event a little early. The company announced a livestream hardware event for September 30 at 11 a.m. PT. Usually, Google holds its Pixel hardware events in mid-October.

Google isn't leaving much up to the imagination either. Its invitation spells out that the event will be where we learn more about the "new Chromecast, our latest smart speaker and our new Pixel phones." Of course, we pretty much knew what was coming anyway -- most of the new hardware has leaked ahead of time, and Google even announced that the Pixel 5 was on the way, along with a few press images, when it launched the Pixel 4a.

New leaks offer the best look at Google’s Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a (5G) phones

Google Pixel 5 render leak

Earlier this week, alongside launching the Pixel 4a, Google teased a pair of upcoming phones: The Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 it plans to launch later in the fall. Now, a series of leaks have revealed just about every detail you need to know about these devices.

A report by Steve Hemmestoffer (@OnLeaks), who has a reliable track record, offers the best look (in collaboration with Indian outlets, 91Mobiles and Pricebaba) at the Pixel 4a (5G) and Pixel 5 through a bunch of high-resolution renders. Both the phones share a similar, minimalistic design that can be found on the recently announced Pixel 4a as well. There’s a nearly edge-to-edge screen on the front with a tiny cutout for the selfie camera and a square-ish camera housing on the back.
