How to buy the LG G7 ThinQ

The LG G7 ThinQ is now available for pre-order from Google's Project Fi

LG has officially taken the wraps off of its newest flagship, the LG G7 ThinQ, and it features some pretty awesome specs, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 4GB and 6GB RAM options, and a 12-megapixel dual-camera array with a wide-angle lens.

In addition to the usual features we have come to expect on a smartphone in 2018, the LG G7 ThinQ has another trick up its sleeve: A Boombox Speaker that offers punchy sound and actual bass. To learn more about the G7 and its features, check out our review. If you’re ready to buy one, read on to find the best deals for your next phone.

Buying the LG G7 ThinQ from a carrier

Google Project Fi

The LG G7 ThinQ is now available for pre-order from Google Project Fi, making it one of the few high-end phones available from the carrier. The pricing comes in at $750, but if you get it on Project Fi, Google will also throw in a $100 Project Fi bill credit if you order the phone before July 7.

U.S. Cellular

U.S. Cellular is currently offering a great deal on the newly released LG G7 ThinQ.

Prospective buyers can either buy the G7 ThinQ SIM-free for $750, or can save $300 through U.S. Cellular’s 30-month installment plan. If you go for the monthly option, you’ll pay just $15 a month, with no money upfront. However, this cut-price deal is only available until June 30, 2018 — after which, the phone will be available for $25 a month.

Verizon

If you’re on America’s largest carrier, you can now order the LG G7 ThinQ directly through the Verizon Wireless website.

Verizon is offering the LG G7 ThinQ at both its retail price of $750, as well as part of its monthly payment option. If you choose monthly payments, you’ll pay just $31.25 for 24 months. As an added bonus, Verizon is offering an additional $100 off LG’s latest flagship for a limited time in conjunction with other trade-in discounts.

T-Mobile

T-Mobile started selling the LG G7 on June 1. The handset will set you back $30 a month for 24 months (you’ll need to pay $30 first), and the full retail price comes out to $750. If you’re on T-Mobile, you may want to consider the Raspberry Rose color that’s “exclusive” to the carrier.

The magenta carrier is also offering a buy-one-get-one-free program for the G7, though you need to purchase both phones on equipment installment plans in exchange for monthly bill credits. This program is still available for the LG G6 and LG V30.

AT&T

AT&T will not sell the LG G7 ThinQ, instead opting to sell the new LG V35, another LG flagship that’s a little pricier.

Sprint

Looking for the LG G7 ThinQ on the Sprint network? Well, you’re in luck: The G7 ThinQ has been available from Sprint since June 1.

Unlike most carriers, Sprint does not finance phones. Instead, it offers an 18-month lease program on its devices so you can easily switch phones every 12 to 16 months. For a limited time, Sprint is offering a BOGO promotion where new and upgrading customers can lease two LG G7 ThinQ handsets for one monthly lease payment of $33.

U.S. Cellular

U.S. Cellular is offering the LG G7 ThinQ on its network. Since June 1, U.S. Cellular customers have been able to order LG’s 2018 flagship in stores and online. Like most carriers, U.S. Cellular offers a monthly payment plan that will allow you to pay for the G7 over time.

Buying the LG G7 ThinQ unlocked

If you like to keep your options open, buying the LG G7 ThinQ unlocked may be your best choice. You’re not tied to any carrier and can switch at will, though you may need to pay the full price of the phone upfront if LG doesn’t offer any payment plans. The unlocked LG G7 ThinQ is available for pre-order from B&H, where it comes at $750.

Update: The LG G7 is available for pre-order from Google Project Fi.

A new leak teases how thin the Galaxy S25 Slim will be — and it’s impressive
Side profile of the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 "Slim" has been part of the rumor mill for a while now. If you've missed it, here's what you need to know: It almost certainly does exist, and it's expected to launch sometime during the middle of 2025, instead of next month like the rest of the Galaxy S25 lineup. And now, we have a better idea of just how thin this phone might actually be.

Well-known tipster Ice Universe shared the information on Weibo, stating that its thickness "may be 6.x mm." In other words, the leaker isn't sure of the exact thickness, but expects it to fall between 6mm and 6.9mm.

Google Photos is getting a cool new feature to speed up your photo edits
Google Photos' year in review feature for 2024.

Google Photos for Android is introducing a new feature that simplifies photo editing right before sharing. A tipster from Android Authority first reported this tool.

The new “Quick Edit” tool lets users easily enhance or crop individual photos before sharing them. It features an “Enhance” button, which functions similarly to the “Enhance” effect in the standard photo-editing options. A crop button is also similar to the one in the regular photo editor. When multiple photos are selected before hitting the share button, the typical share sheet appears instead of the new “Quick Edit” screen.

The base model Galaxy S25 will get a RAM upgrade we’ve waited years for
Someone holding the Samsung Galaxy S24 with the display turned on.

Back in November, we heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 might come with an upgraded amount of RAM compared to the base Galaxy S24. The Galaxy S24 Plus and S24 Ultra both start with 12GB of RAM minimum, but until now, the majority of base-model Samsung handsets only had 8GB.

Abhishek Yadav, a known leaker, shared a post on X that said the base storage variant of the Galaxy S25 would come with 12GB of RAM. This also implies that the base storage is likely to be 256GB too. As apps, operating systems, and integrated AI become more powerful, so do their technical requirements. A bump to the base amount of RAM and storage will yield improved performance (hopefully) without a significant cost increase.
