LG G5 release date, specs news: To launch globally on April 8?

While it has already been confirmed that the LG G5 will come to U.S. shores next month, it is speculated that an April 8 roll-out is also planned for a global release of LG's newest top-tier flagship.

According to GSM Arena, the new LG G5 has gone up for pre-orders on the Amazon U.K. retailer website. The 32GB variant in either Titan Grey or Rose Gold has a £529 price tag. The variants can also be pre-ordered as SIM-free or unlocked with a listed release date of April 8.

It was previously reported that the flagship will launch within the same period in Canada.

Meanwhile, Phone Arena has just confirmed that the LG G5 is also supposed to roll out in the United States early next month, and although a specific release date has not yet been announced by LG, fans in the U.S. may expect a release window close to April 8, marking a somewhat global release of the new flagship.

It is also confirmed that the new G5 flagship will be available for use with major mobile carriers, and Android Authority listed T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and U.S. Cellular as some of the confirmed mobile carriers that will offer the LG G5. In addition, would-be owners can also get their LG flagships from Best Buy, Best Buy Mobile Stores, and B&H. Aside from the handset, the module accessories for the LG G5 will also become available in the U.S. early next month.

The industry follower added that for the U.S. release, the LG G5 will come bundled with a charging cradle and an extra battery for free. The promo is available for a limited time.

The LG G5 was one of the newest flagships recently announced at this year's Mobile World Congress and had been anticipated by fans due to its "Magic Slot" modular design.
