The LG G5 has arrived locally and we have all of the local carrier prices right here.
The LG 2016 flagship is available first through Telstra and Optus, with plan pricing looking to be a little cheaper than for the other premium model phones we’ve seen this year.
The phone is a worthy competitor, with a number of unique features to take a look at. Most notably is the removable battery and attachable range of accessories. We’ve covered these in more detail in this earlier article.
