LG formally revealed the LG G8 ThinQ at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. As expected, the device is a specs powerhouse rivaling other new flagships such as the Samsung Galaxy S10. However, it also features a design that’s very similar to last year’s LG G7 ThinQ, which could be either a bad or good thing depending on your preference.
If you want to grab an LG G8 ThinQ for yourself, we have information below on the price, availability, and release dates for various countries.

LG G8 ThinQ release date
LG officially revealed the LG G8 ThinQ on February 24, 2019. The device will launch unlocked as well as on various carriers at different times throughout the next few weeks.
If you want to grab an LG G8 ThinQ for yourself, it will be available for purchase on April 11. The phone will start at $819.99 with LG and several carriers kicking off pre-orders on March 29.
As an interesting side note, LG told us it is also launching a variant of the LG G8 with three rear cameras in some markets (as seen above, the standard G8 has two rear cameras). We also don’t have any availability information for this device, but we do have the specs and know it will get a release at some point. It’ll come with the same cameras as the LG V50 ThinQ 5G: 16MP ultra-wide, 12MP wide, and 12MP telephoto lenses.
LG G8 ThinQ price and availability — U.S.
The LG G8 will be available from AT&T, Best Buy, B&H, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Verizon, and Xfinity Mobile starting on April 11. The handset will be priced at $819.99, but LG and several carriers will be launching the phone alongside introductory promotions starting at $150 off the handset.
We will update this list once we have more information from each carrier about pricing and promotional deals.
LG G8 ThinQ price and availability — Global
It’s possible that the LG G8 ThinQ will hit store shelves in the company’s native South Korea before it lands anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately, though, LG hasn’t divulged any information about global release details, so it very well could be that the U.S. will see the device first (or any country, really). At this point, we simply have to wait until LG makes the information public.
