Save $330 on an LG G6 at Boost Mobile

Save $330 on an LG G6 at Boost Mobile

Flagship smartphones can be very pricey these days, and its natural for users to consider last year's models for some extra savings when they purchase a new device. Sprint-owned MVNO Boost Mobile has an opportunity to purchase the LG G6 for $330 off its $600 list price.

The LG G6 features a 5.7 inch "FullVision" display with a 2880 x 1440 pixel resolution, 32GB of internal storage with optional microSD, a (13MP+13MP) dual camera setup, a secondary camera for video calls, a 3300mAh battery and is powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor with 4GB of RAM. The handset runs Android Oreo out of the box, and will more than likely get updated to Android Pie.

The handset is available in “Ice Platinum” and “Mystic White” and is also still eligible for Second Year Promise enrollment. You can extend your standard 1-year warranty to a full 24 months by registering your new G6 on LG's dedicated website.

If you purchase this handset from Boost Mobile, you could consider one of their plans which start at $35 a month, all the way up to $80 for “Ultimate Unlimited” service with “everything that matters”, including 40 gigs of mobile hotspot data.

Get the LG G6 for $330 at B&H

Get the LG G6 for $330 at B&H

While LG has a strong portfolio of flagships for 2018, those who don't want to spend exorbitant prices could still consider last year's flagships at more reasonable prices. As such, the LG G6 is available through B&H Photo Video for just $329.99.

This is the asking price for an unlocked LG G6, which features a 5.7 inch display, 32GB of internal storage, a (13MP+13MP) dual camera setup, a secondary camera for video calls and is powered by a Snapdragon 821 processor with 4GB of RAM.

A few things to keep in mind are that the variant on offer comes in "Ice Platinum" color, and is the H870 (international) variant, meaning that you won't get CDMA support on carriers like Verizon or Sprint. The handset should however work without any issues on GSM carriers like AT&T or T-Mobile. Customers should also note that since this is an international device, it cannot be registered for LG's “Second Year Promise” program for US customers.

It is still important to point out that B&H is offering a limited 1-year warranty with your LG G6 purchase, which is more than you can expect from online retailers on eBay or Amazon. If owning last year's flagship at an affordable price is something you like, consider picking up the LG G6 from B&H Photo Video using the link below.

LG G6 for Verizon receives Android 8.0 Oreo update

Verizon appeared to be the first US carrier to begin rolling out the Android 8.0 Oreo update for the LG G6, which was notable given that carrier-locked models typically sit at the back of the queue as updates work through regulatory channels. Verizon did not update the phone's support page at the time, leaving the specific security patch level unclear.

What the Update Brings

The update weighed in at 1.9GB, so make sure you have enough free storage before starting the download. While no official changelog was released, a screenshot circulating at the time confirmed the update would bring Picture in Picture mode, a visual cleanup of notifications, and notification badges. All three are standard Android 8.0 Oreo features that LG G6 users had been waiting on.

Rollouts like this typically take several days to reach all devices on the network. You can check whether the update is available on your handset by going to Settings and then System Update.

Other Carriers to Follow

With Verizon moving first, the other major US carriers were expected to follow with their own Android 8.0 Oreo rollouts for the LG G6 fairly quickly. The LG G6 features a 5.7-inch display, 32GB of internal storage, a dual 13MP rear camera setup, and a Snapdragon 821 processor with 4GB of RAM.
