First released in the US last month via
Verizon Wireless, the LG Q70 will soon be available unlocked, too. This is a
mid-range smartphone that offers decent features at an accessible price, so
anyone in the market for such a device should be interested in checking it out.
The unlocked Q70 has its own product page
at LG's official US website, although there are no details regarding its price
and launch date there. Thankfully, retailer B&H is already taking
pre-orders for the smartphone, asking US$ 349.99 for it. That's also the price
that Verizon is charging for the device if you want to buy it outright. Unfortunately,
for now, B&H can't say when the unlocked LG Q70 will start shipping. In any
case, the handset is "coming soon."
Running Android 10 out of the box, the LG
Q70 sports a 6.4-inch display with 1080 x 2310 pixels and is powered by a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor. Other notable features include a standard
3.5mm audio jack, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, and a 4,000 mAh
battery with quick charging. A dual rear camera (32 MP + 5 MP) and a 16 MP
front-facing camera are also on board.
Built using a metal frame and Corning
Gorilla Glass, the LG Q70 is resistant to shock and water (it can survive up to
1.5 meters underwater for 30 minutes). According
to LG, the unlocked Q70 is compatible with all major US carriers: Verizon,
AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint (of course, Sprint now belongs to T-Mobile, but
it's still a separate brand).
