LG giving out 32GB microSD card, an extra battery, and a charging cradle to US G4 buyers

LG giving out 32GB microSD card, an extra battery, and a charging cradle to US G4 buyers

While the LG G4 is yet to be found on any shelves stateside, the company is already up with a promotion. Prospective G4 buyers in the US now have three extra reasons to pick up the new flagship, as LG is giving out a 32GB microSD card, an extra, 3,000 mAh battery, and a battery charging cradle to anyone who buys it between today and June 21st. That's a great deal, especially if your only concern is the rather underwhelming battery life of the G4 — with an extra battery, you can easily swap out the exhausted one and keep on going.

To participate in the promotion, you'll have to do some legwork, however. Since there is currently no way to verify your order online, you're actually required to fill in a short application and send a copy of it and a sales receipt LG's Santa Ana office in Califronia by mail. The form includes several questions that you need to circle out, mostly concerned with what led to your purchasing decision and which competitor products you were considering before settling on the G4. If your application is all good, you should expect the goodies to arrive within 4 to 6 weeks.

Lastly, we should point out that we still don't have concrete dates for when LG is planning to launch the G4 in the States, though it seems safe to assume that the date is fast approaching.

Thanks for the tip, Jose!

Like it or not, LG isn't selling in my country. G3 a last year flagship device still costs as high as 520$. iPhone 6 (665$) sale climbs impressively. We love Apple.

Can you also let them know that when they buy an iPhone, you are getting less for more money. The iPhone 6 has a low resolution screen compared to the less expensive LG G4. You are getting a poor camera compared to LG' s G4. You get a removable back cover, removable battery and extra battery, 32 GB internal storage and an extra 32 GB micro SD card. You get none of that with the iPhone 6 and only 16 gb of storage for that price. So please don't forget to tell everyone that when you buy the iPhone you are paying more and getting less. Don't forget.

On my country, Indonesia, it costs $654, it's 3000mAh version, with dual sim lte (which usually costs $15 more), with free 64gb class10 premium microSD (worth $40), leather plastic case (cost $38 and $15 each), vr plasticboard (worth $20, available later), quadbeat 3 headphone (worth $15), additional 2900mAh battery external charger (worth $35, can charge 100% in an hour), free 2years google drive 100gb, usb OTG cable (worth $3), line (chat app) doll (they sell phone with free really big doll, worth $5), new curved gorilla glass 4 (yeah, not 3, available later) replacement for a year including user damage, and $153 cashback for those who preorder this month. Don't forget calibrated screen profile of DCI standard, which is worth more than $6000 While galaxy s6 costs more than $770, single sim, no headset, no case, no free glass replacement, no microsoft cloud memory, no VR, no online service (music, book, movie). Is it fair to compare them side by side? :D it's cheaper than note4 in fact dont know why PA always ignore my tip and delete my comment.

well thats ok since cambodia is smaller than the state of texas so the sales are not that high, plus iphone climbs there because in less developed areas of the world no offence meant iphone is still a rich status symbol. For the rest of the planet its a normal basic phone now.

Cambodia probably iPhone is about 10K unit a year. People who can afford an iPhone are minority, and we're talking about 5% here, and not everyone wants an overpriced phone especially when retailers charge more than the MSRP. No offence taken, Cambodia is a corrupted country, people who can afford an iPhone probably have 5 of the same phone and switch car every few months.

if only samsung would have said forget the glass back and added more battery space to 3000, i think they should not go thin they need to do the s6 but with a larger battery if they could do a 35 or 4k that would be a real seller plus front speakers or front quad speakers with built in corner rubber or neoprene for drops and make them changeable then you dont need a case.

iPhone has become the international standard of phone. Cook is the 2nd legend after Jobs. I like the way he drives Apple now.

It's become so obvious that this guy either is one of the biggest morons on the planet or is purposefully writing insane comments to get attention. That's why I don't even pay attention to him and don't respond. Ignoring him is the best way to shut him up.

my name is cook please dont say it in the same meaning of apple. jobs was nothing specials do people know that he did not do anything himself he had others do it. If i was gm owner or ceo and said i want a floating car start working on it and they made a floating car you would not think gm ceo made the car and think he is the greatest person in history these companies are dictatorships they tell people what they want and what to do and thats it.

Here in Finland one operator is giving LG NP7550 bluetooth speaker with the LG G4 if you pre order it. The speaker is worth 180€. The phone costs 700€ with leather back.
