LG G5 availability - what we know so far (Updated: Best Buy pre-order on March 18)
Mobile World Congress 2016 is well under way, and LG has already taken the wraps off its new flagship, the LG G5.
This new device is kind of odd, very experimental and boasts some of the best specifications available on the market. Its 5.3-inch Quad HD display is great for viewing all types of media, the Snapdragon 820 processor will be able to perform pretty much any task you throw at it, and that 16MP camera seems like it can shoot one heck of a photo so far. So, is this going to be your next smartphone? If you’re wondering when and where you can get your hands on one of these devices, we’ve got you covered.

Since the G5 was just announced hours ago we don’t have all the availability details as of yet, but we’ll definitely update this list as we learn more. We do know however that it will arrive to U.S. carriers sometime this Spring. Also, no carriers have given pricing information yet, so we might need to wait awhile before we know how much it will cost.
AT&T

It will also carry a few modules for the smartphone, including the 360 CAM virtual reality camera, LG 360 VR, and the LG 360 Sound Bluetooth speaker.
