It’s about time. Three weeks after the global launch of the LG G7 ThinQ, the Korean manufacturer’s 2018 flagship phone — the variant with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal memory — is finally arriving in the Philippines.

The good news? Its local suggested retail price of P42,990 (roughly $818) is about the same as its $750 SRP in the U.S. Converted, that’s around P39,439 in Philippine pesos.

This makes the LG G7 ThinQ more affordable than other Android devices in its category. Remember that the Samsung Galaxy S9+ and Huawei P20 Pro currently go for P55,990 ($1,065) and P44,990 ($856), respectively. But yes, it’s still P5,000 ($95) more than the LG G6’s price at launch.

In case you’re still undecided as to which Android flagship smartphone to buy, you can refer to this comparison chart we made on May 3, when the handset was first introduced to the public.

Preorder details

Decided on the LG G7 ThinQ now? We suggest that you preorder the device to get P10,890 ($207) worth of freebies. The preorder package includes a P7,490 ($142) LG Tone Infinim Bluetooth headset; a P1,500 ($29) LG G7 case; and a P1,900 ($36) fast-charging wireless charger.

Just go to any LG store and make a P2,000 ($38) down payment through cash or straight payment via credit card. When you get back to claim the G7 ThinQ and your freebies, present an ID and the official receipt of the down payment and pay the P40,990 ($780) balance. That’s it.

We’re just confused about some information that’s listed on the company’s website. We pointed them out below. The best thing to do is call LG and clarify the inconsistencies. We’ll let you know if there are updates.
