Unlocked LG V40 ThinQ scores $200 discount while still on pre-order
The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
It’s easy to forget other mobile devices exist when Apple kicks off pre-orders for a highly anticipated product like the iPhone XR, but today is actually the official US release day of the Android-powered LG V40 ThinQ as well.
At least technically, because in reality, T-Mobile has begun shipping pre-ordered units a little while ago, whereas Verizon jumped the gun with an October 18 start of sales. Big Red was also the first carrier to realize the V40 ThinQ is a tough sell at well over $900, offering a cool $200 discount right off the bat with monthly installment plans.
But B&H Photo Video has an even sweeter deal in place, slashing $200 off the $949.99 list price of the unlocked five-camera powerhouse. No catches, no strings attached, and obviously, no device payments needed.
One outright $749.99 deposit will do, as long as you’re willing to give B&H a little extra time to start shipping the Aurora Black GSM and CDMA-compatible LG V40 ThinQ. The item is still listed as “coming soon”, with no ETA supplied, achieving 4G LTE speeds on all major US networks, Verizon and Sprint included.
Ironically, B&H Photo Video now sells the LG V35 ThinQ for 50 bucks more than the arguably superior V40 ThinQ, with a V30S ThinQ also up for grabs at a rather excessive $680.

If you hurry, you can also get a complimentary SanDisk Ultra 256GB microSDXC card and second-year warranty with registration on a dedicated LG website. No mention of that free DJI Osmo Mobile 2 gimbal, though.

$750 is also coincidentally the starting price of the iPhone XR. While a comparison between the two may not be entirely fair, we’d be remiss not to point out the LG V40 ThinQ comes with a larger, sharper OLED screen, squeezed into a significantly lighter body, while packing a whopping 6GB RAM and expandable storage. LG’s latest flagship has a bunch of extra cameras too, although their real-life performance is hardly impressive.
