Verizon opens LG G5 pre-orders, launches the LG K4 LTE

Not to be outdone by AT&T and Sprint, Verizon today started taking pre-orders for the LG G5. The carrier is offering the new smartphone for $26 per month over 24 months, or for $624 outright, and will ship it starting April 1. You have the option to get the G5 in silver or titan - thus, if you want the gold of pink variants, you'll need to look elsewhere.

If you order the LG G5 before March 31 (inclusive), Verizon Wireless will offer you a gift comprised of an LG 360 CAM (normally priced at $199), extra battery, and charging cradle. Not a bad deal, we reckon.

The G5 is LG's newest flagship smartphone, coming with a modular metallic design, plus all the high-end features that the company can currently pack into a handset.

In addition to accepting pre-orders for the LG G5, Verizon today released the LG K4 LTE, a more modest (and significantly cheaper) smartphone. Part of LG's new K series, the K4 offers features like a 4.5-inch display with 854 x 480 pixels, a 1.1 GHz quad-core processor, 1.5 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of internal memory. The handset costs just $120 off contract, and (sadly) runs Android Lollipop.
