The introduction of new LG devices during the Mobile World Congress last February was met with a lot of excitement, particularly as they were trying to do something new with their flagship smartphone. After a few months of waiting, their new smartphone and smartwatch will soon be at your hands and wrist by April 1. But for now, you can already start pre-ordering your LG G5 and LG Watch Urbane (2nd edition) through Verizon. And of course, there are a few goodies that will come when you do pre-ordering.
The LG G5 made quite a splash at the MWC, as it is one of the first major OEMs to offer a modular style smartphone. It comes with a slide-out, removable battery that lets you attach different kinds of companion devices that can adapt to your lifestyle. These LG Friends include the LG CAM, LG 360 CAM, LG 360 VR Headset, etc, all sold separately of course. If you pre-order the LG G5 before March 31, you’ll get a free battery and charging cradle and the LG 360 CAM itself.
The LG G Watch Urbane (2nd edition) is a 4G LTE smartwatch that lets you stay connected, even though your smartphone is far away from you because you connect directly with Verizon’s network. But when you text and call from your smartwatch, it will still use your smartphone’s number because you’re connected to Verizon Messages. It looks like just a regular watch but with the features of a smartwatch of course. If you buy an LG G5 as well, you’ll get $100 off the smartwatch for a limited time only.
The LG G5 is available for $26 per month for 24 months on the Verizon device payment program, with a full price of $624. The LG G Watch Urbane (2nd edition) can be added to your existing Verizon plan and you just need to pay an additional $5 per month. Its full retail value is $499.99.
