Starting today, LG Electronics'
G5 smartphone is available for purchase in the U.S.
The LG G5 can be pre-ordered now online and will be in stores starting tomorrow via major carriers and retailers, including AT&T, Best Buy, Best Buy Mobile Stores, B&H, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular and Verizon. The LG G5 introduces a modular design that allows for a collection of companion devices, called "LG Friends," to plug in and transform the LG G5 into a DSLR-style camera, a mobile virtual reality viewer and more.
Unveiled last month in Barcelona at this year's Mobile World Congress, the LG G5 features an aluminum body and modular type design allows users to swap out a depleted battery for a fully charged one in just seconds. LG is rewarding its customers that order a LG G5 before April 17, 2016 with a free extra battery and battery charging cradle which also acts as a standalone portable charger while on the go.
