LG V20 Release Date With Android 7.0 Nougat: Pre-Order, Price On Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile

Oct 24, 2016 10:38 PM EDT

The flagship LG V20 is all set to light up the smartphone world over in the US, being the first smartphone that comes with Android 7.0 Nougat right out of the box when it launched in its home country in South Korea last month. With four of the major carriers hogging the lion’s share of the smartphone market in the US, here are the details concerning pre-order details for the LG V20 that you might be interested in, including the specifications and pricing details.

Verizon LG V20 pre-order
Verizon made its LG V20 pre-order since last week, and if you do not want to place a pre-order, you can always opt to pick up the LG V20 from brick-and-mortar Verizon stores this October 27th onwards. The asking price for the LG V20 on Verizon would be $672 a pop, and the mobile carrier would also throw in other goodies such as waiving the activation fee, having a decent trade-in program to go along with the handset, as well as picking up a new LG Stylo 2 V for a mere $1 -- all for a 24 monthly payment, of course.

AT&T LG V20 pre-order
If you decide to stick to AT&T, then the LG V20 is set to ship anytime from October 27th all the way to the end of the month. Prices begin from $27.67 per month across a two year contract, or you can always choose to pick it up for $829.99 outright as an unlocked device, which is pretty pricey by the way. What are some of the other optional offers that accompanies AT&T's LG V20 pre-order? You can pick up the LG G Pad X 10.1 for free on a 2-year agreement for the LG V20 on an AT&T Next plan. Alternatively, enjoy a $200 trade-in credit as long as your smartphone makes the cut for the trade-in process. As though those two offers are not enough, you can also enjoy a free Bang & Olufsen H3 earphones, now how about that?

Sprint LG V20 pre-order
Sprint happened to be one of the last major carriers in the US that opened up their doors for pre-orders of the LG V20 to be made. However, do bear in mind that there will be a fair bit of waiting time involved, as Sprint claims that the LG V20 can be picked up for $792 as an unlocked handset. If you prefer to jive with a 2-year contract, then it will cost you $349.99 a pop -- and this also after a mail-in rebate comes into effect. Not only that, Sprint would offer customers with an option to purchase the LG V20 through monthly instalments of $33 each month across two years. For those who want to trade in your existing smartphone, it must be in good working condition, of course. The LG V20 will take approximately 6 weeks before shipping commences, and all online orders of the LG V20 will be accompanied by a free Bang & Olufsen H3 earphones which would cost you $149 outside. What better way to enjoy the Hi-Fi Quad DAC than with Bang & Olufsen’s H3 earphones?

T-Mobile LG V20 pre-order
T-Mobile intends to offer you a value-for-money proposition with its LG V20 deals that are worth close to $350 a pop. Customers would be able to obtain a minimum $200 credit for the LG V20 should you decide to trade in your existing working 4G smartphone, and those who do so will also be on the receiving end of a free $149 Bang & Olufsen H3 earphones. Expect to be able to receive your handset this October 28th after placing a pre-order for $49.99 down with a $30 monthly commitment over the course of a 2-year contract. JUMP! On Demand customers will be able to enjoy the LG V20 for $0 up front, and fork out $34 each month over the course of the next 18 months.

Looks like the competition is pretty tense, and it all boils down to several dollars' difference each month between the carriers on a 2-year contract. At the end of the day, it would be the mobile carrier that serves you best which you would settle down with.
