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

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

Google can’t catch a break as the Pixel 11 Pro leaks once again
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Google's Made by Google 2026 event is just around the corner, but at this point, it feels like the company has very little left to surprise us with.

The latest leak brings what appear to be official marketing renders of the Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL, offering perhaps the clearest look yet at Google's upcoming flagship phones. Shared by well-known leaker Evan Blass, the images don't just show off the hardware — they also hint at camera upgrades, AI features, and the next-generation Tensor chip powering everything under the hood. While none of the images reveal anything dramatically unexpected, they do suggest Google is paying attention to one design complaint Pixel fans have had for years.

Samsung’s passport-shaped Fold is leaving last year’s bestseller in the dust
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Inside Screen View

For a brand that's stuck to safer updates for most of its annual updates, Samsung’s odd new passport-shaped foldable was a surprisingly risky move--and it seems like that gamble is paying off. Early demand suggests the company may have underestimated just how many buyers wanted something different.

According to a BusinessPost report, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is selling at roughly three times the pace of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 during the comparable early sales period. Demand has reportedly caught Samsung off guard, leaving the company working to increase production and get more units into stores.

China’s largest homegrown DRAM manufacturer is getting close to producing the memory that could power the next generation of flagship phones, and the timing could hardly be better for buyers.

According to China Business News, ChangXin Memory Technologies, better known as CXMT, has nearly completed R&D verification for LPDDR6. This is one of the final major technical stages before small-scale trial production, and the company could begin mass production during the second half of this year. Its current design reportedly reaches speeds of up to 12.8Gbps.
