After months of leaks, speculations, rumors, and teasers, the LG G4 is finally and officially available in the US. The latest flagship phone is now on sale in stores and online through the top mobile carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, US Cellular) and national retail chains Best Buy and Amazon. This launch in the country is expected to bring a better mobile experience to Android fans looking to replace their old phones.
The LG G4 is available in different variants: Ceramic White and Gold, Metallic Gray, Genuine Leather Black, and Genuine Leather Brown. The carriers have announced pricing and more details on each of their websites. From now until June 21, those who buy an LG G4 will receive freebies include a memory card, extra battery, and a battery charging cradle. This is similar to the special promo in South Korea for the first adopters getting a 64GB card and free replacement. We’re guessing the charging cradle has something to do with the Quick Charge 2.0 feature.

AT&T started offering the LG G4 last May 29 online and in stores June 5 in two colors: Metallic Gray and Genuine Leather Black. With no contract, phone is $630.
