Today the LG G7 ThinQ has reached the US and Canada,
in its ongoing global rollout. In the States, the phone costs US$ 749.99 unlocked.
At T-Mobile, you pay US$ 30 upfront and then US$ 30 per month for two years. At
Sprint, you can lease one for US$ 33 per month (the lease lasts 18 months), or buy
outright for US$ 792. Verizon is asking for US$ 31.25 per month for two years, or US$ 750 if you want to pay off the handset in one go. The carrier nicknamed Big
Red is taking US$ 100 off the price to help celebrate the launch.
In Canada, you can pick a G7 up from a large number
of carriers: Telus, Bell, Rogers, Virgin, Fido, Freedom Mobile, and SaskTel.
Additionally, the phone is available at retailers such as Wow! mobile boutique,
Best Buy Mobile, The Mobile Shop, London Drugs, Walmart, Wireless Wave, Tbooth
wireless, and Wireless Etc.
As with any recent top of the line device, the G7
isn't cheap in Canada. Outright you'll need to pay CAD 1,049.99 in most places
for the pleasure of owning one. The exceptions are Rogers and Fido, pricing it
at CAD 999, while at Freedom Mobile you can get one for CAD 960.
If you'd like to purchase it on a subscription,
you'll need to pay at least CAD 199.99 down at Bell, Virgin, Telus, Fido, or
Rogers. Freedom Mobile is giving you one for CAD 0 down with CAD 20 per month
MyTab Boost for two years on current CAD 50+ plans, and a similar arrangement
can be had at SaskTel (where you can also buy one on an old fashioned two-year
contract for CAD 399.99).
The G7 ThinQ boasts a 6.1-inch 1440x3120 notched LCD
touchscreen, the Snapdragon 845 chipset, 4/6GB of RAM, 64/128GB of expandable
storage, dual 16 MP + 16 MP rear cameras, an 8 MP selfie snapper, and a 3,000
mAh battery. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo.
