Dealerships in South Korea will start pre-ordering a new smartphone from LG Electronics this Friday G8 ThinQ... The price of the smartphone is expected to be lower than originally predicted.
The pre-sale period will run until Thursday, March 21, with sales starting on March 22. It is not yet clear when the smartphone will be sold in other countries.

The smartphone has 128GB of internal storage and the price is pretty decent at 897,600 won, which equates to around € 705, although the actual price is likely to be slightly higher due to imports and Brexit.
That's a good price for a phone, mobile editor Max Walker commented: “The LG G8 is definitely not going to be a memorable event at MWC 2019, especially when it comes to 5G, flexible displays and impressive specs. But I suspect it will be a good phone and will likely undermine the prices of many competitors. "
Combine that with a 6.1-inch QHD + OLED display and a phone powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 mobile chip and 3500mAh battery for a ton of reliable tech at a decent price. It's not the most luxurious phone in the world, but at this price point, it could be a great alternative for those who are not willing to overpay.
How it will sell compared to the prestigious phones it battles against remains to be seen, but in a year with smartphone prices skyrocketing, it's good to see at least one of them drop by a few dollars.
