LG G8X Thinq, the latest flagship from the Korean electronics manufacturer, is arriving in the U.S. on November 1. Pre-orders will start a week earlier, on October 25, on AT&T and Sprint as well as Amazon. 

Following the U.S. launch, the phone will become available in "key markets around the world," which includes Brazil, Japan, Germany, Mexico, Spain and Turkey, with the time frame being "the next several weeks."

The price for the phone in the U.S. varies by provider, but the unlocked variant with the Dual Screen will start at $699.99.

The U.S. launch comes with several cool promotions. For example, eligible customers who order the phone through AT&T on a 30-month plan will get the phone for $300 and the optional Dual Screen accessory for free — though it's worth noting that this promotion will only be available for a limited time. Engadget reports that standard price for the Dual Screen at AT&T will be $200, so this is a pretty sweet deal.  Read more...
