Verizon wireless release (hinting) - G4 General

http://www.talkandroid.com/249034-could-verizon-have-a-june-4-release-date/
Heres an article hinting that the lg g4 will be coming out possibly on June 4. it talks about Verizon releasing a hint on a pic, Not 100% sure were the pic is though.

I'll be ordering whatever day it is. But that is an interesting subliminal message. Seems reasonable as there would be no other reason for that date to be on the phone otherwise.

the actual Verizon page :cyclops:

That would be a first for vzw to release a new phone before their competitors.

They sure as hell better be offering more than just white... as in the better be getting leather options.

Yes, please release the leather version so it drives down the plastic ones in price.

got a chuckle out of me, ha but agree. i wanna see that leather

It would be such the Verizon thing to do to release maybe 2 colors and then in 3 months a new color. In this case, I hope leather is an option up front BUT I bet if it is, they will likely then release a different leather in a few months.
We may end up having to make a G4 back swapping thread so people can swap/sell/trade various leather colors to get the one they want. For example, I like the mustard one and I bet no way will Verizon get that. But if Verizon does black, maybe I could swap with someone.

Preorder Date!!
My contact says VZW will go live with pre-orders on May 28th. No word on colors yet....

With that thinking AT&T will release June 5th. http://www.att.com/cellphones/lg/g4.html#sku=sku7570315
I'm with AT&T and would love for this to be the case, My S2 Skyrockt just became bricked this week and the G4 was on my radar.
Beautiful looking phone!

I'm sure the pricing will be similar / if not the same as Sprint.

I wonder what Freebies VZW will include.

I'm thinking the same thing. Prolly same price. Hopefully Verizon has some deals for those who buy in the first few days when its out

For Verizon people, check this post out I made about Verizon pricing and colors (NO leather) at Best Buy.
And Best Buy does confirm June 4th...
Pre-Order
Pick it up on release day
Thursday, June 4, 2015
Select a store
So.. If you preorder from BB you get a $100 gift card + if you then apply for the Lg G4 freebies you can get a spare battery, 32gb card, spare battery charger... that is nice.

Looks like that hint was spot on

I don't know why but I also remember June 6 on their website.
Price is 600 for plastic.
650 for leather

June 6 was an early rumor date. I've read nothing official from verizon about a 6th date.
We now know, 100% confirmed, best buy preorders can pickup in store the 4th. No one else from Amazon or Verizon direct have listed any official price, dates, models - only best buy.
I have seen nor read on verizon or any best buy site - which has the 3 models listed for purchase and all are $609 and no leather is listed - of verizon showing any leather let alone leather at $650. I also remember those as early on rumors.

i hope verizon doesn't put its ugly branding on this phone

Long line still?
lines aren't bad. I was actually one of the first 50 but gave up my spot after talking to the Samsung rep. they're quite disorganized tho
i got there at 11am. i was honestly turned off by the whole experience. the Samsung reps don't know when they will be shipping the grey models. they just told me to keep checking. it really seemed like they were not ready to release this thing yet.
Any word on when the 8.9 will be available?

Time is ticking. The tablet market is hot, and moving very rapidly. All tablet manufacturers have to push these things out as fast as they can, before more competition gets their units out, ramp up production, or newer, better models come along. They don't really have time to come out with a polished and well planned launch. I'm sure this is why it was a NYC only event. They just weren't ready for a full launch, but are trying to get these released as quickly as possible.
Wait, sorry if i'm off here but, everyone is upset because they only have the white model and not the grey one?

if you were there at the launch, you'd be too.
1) no announcements were made that they only had the 16gb white model. there were a lot of people who were waiting longer than me who left the line after hearing the Samsung rep tell me about that. they all wanted a 32gb model, due to the lack of micro sd slot.
2) Samsung reps had no idea when the rest of the models will be available. no eta. only told me to keep coming back. it was a disorganized launch. there were gaps in information between Samsung reps and Best Buy employees. the Samsung rep even admitted that they had to ship some models last second just to even have demo versions.
don't get me wrong.. i'll be going back there again tomorrow in hopes that they suddenly get some new shipments of the grey 32gb model.. fingers crossed.
i bought the 16gb white model the only model available , was planning to get the metallic grey , might return this for the metallic grey once that comes out.
Also got the free leather sleeve . the line wasn't too bad i reached there exactly at noon.
I bet the grey will be out on the 17th. I would be a little bit miffed to get there & wait only to find they have 16GB white models if I was wanting grey or a higher capacity.
They talked the release up enough that they should have mentioned that model was to be the one released.
I'm still bombed at still no word on the 8.9.
I think i'll give it a few more weeks after that I'm probably just going to bite the bullet and place an order for the iPad2 :-|

Yeah it was super fishy that the annouced launch way back from Jan of this year was a one Best Buy only launch with the rest coming a week later.
It appears now from your experience that you are dead on correct, they simply wernt and still ARE NOT ready to launch but are scrambling to get them ready.
The sad part is that the average non XDA tablet buyer will be non the wiser until a major new publication decides to cover this.
My biggest question is this: What is the exact count of 16GB white versions avaliable at Best Buy today?
I would buy the 16gb white one then.... wait and return for whatever tablet you want.

i asked.. Samsung rep couldn't tell, Best Buy employee didn't know. there really was that disconnect. i also asked them if there was an option for those of us there that showed up - if we could get some sort of email or phone notification if the model we wanted came in stock at the store.. nope. no luck

i waited this long already. i can wait another week or so
I'm personally not upset the white 16gb was wat i wanted anyways, but i forgot about the leather sleeve, since i doubt the sold 200.
Anybody in the area stop in and see how many of these are still left in stock or estimate of how many has been sold?
I'd be curious to know.

I got there after 2pm and they had stacks on the desk where the samsung employees were demoing. I would b shocked if they become out of stock. They had alot of keyboards, docks and folio cases also.
so its safe to say their strategy was a smashing failure. hope this expedites their worldwide launch. they should've premiered elsewhere

That is a bit disappointing
I was going to attempt to make a trip out.. glad I didn't.
I pre-ordered mine on bestbuy.com and got 18 months no interest financing (not that I need it or care for it, I guess it is just kind of cool to get)
Just as a side note, does this best buy have a parking? Hey, its NYC and parking is tough
They do not.

um, release date is Friday not Thurs ?

I remember specifically on Engadget and now when Google numerous sites say June 16th. But yet now I'm hearing the 17th ? Which is pretty bananas as I took off Thursday working a double Friday.
I've always heard it was the 17th, on Friday.
Here is the press release from samsung.com.
http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_seq=19862&page=1&gltype=localnews
"Premium Android Honeycomb Tablet with Ultra-slim, Lightweight Design and Brilliant 10-inch Touchscreen Available Exclusively at Best Buy Union Square Store in New York City Starting June 8; Available Nationwide Starting June 17"
Though maybe you could get lucky and find a retailer that starts selling early?
PS. Maybe online retailers will start shipping on the 16th so that it could arrive at customers homes by the 17th?

No worries, I hadn't heard anything about the 16th until you mentioned it. The sooner the better, depending on price though.
no it's been the 17th. i just hope that samsung doesn't pull another fast one and make it a release for New Jersey only now, and push the "official" release again another week

(With Extreme Sarcasm) What on earth would make you think a company would ever try to do something like that??
I mean gosh that would be like telling everybody the update for your phone you made is coming soon then releasing it six months later.
Or like vague references to Dual Application Processor and then start using the actual brand name a few days before launch.
Or like telling everyone your tablet you make is launching on a specific date only to launch in one store that date and pushing back the full launch one week
Or like telling everyone that folks in your one store launch can only have one specific model after they lined up after hearing about your one store launch two-step move.....
Or like showing an MicroSD card slot on your tablet at every conference and uTube video only to launch without one and require a non existant cellular radio version purchase to *possibly* have a MicroSD card slot.
(And I preordered a Galaxy Tab. I guess Samsung is to me what a abusive white trash husband is to his spouse. Beat me as you may, I will always come back....)

I love how it's the same price for leather or plastic.
If only it was compatible with Verizon, I'd pick it up from T-Mobile.
Well I've tried to but it would appear that T-Mobile is not interested in my business. I kept getting an error that my information couldn't be verified and I'd need to go into a store which I won't be doing. I cannot believe how wireless carriers can screw up the simplest of tasks like purchasing a phone. I give you my address information, my credit card info and you send me a phone.. Not rocket science...
Very unhappy right now!
Ordered my brown leather before bed last night and it should be delivered tomorrow! I paid for 1 day shipping. Can't wait!
Ordered at 0700 central time and order is already processed!

T-Mobile is REALLY good at pre-orders, as long as the system doesn't mess it up. I ordered my S6 the first day, 3/27 (a friday) and got it 3/30 (that monday). No complaints at all, aside from the phone being an overpriced defective POS.
Mod Edit: mind your language
supposedly I will get my G4 tomorrow since my order was updated as shipped. I hope it comes with the plastic and leather back, so I have better case options.

The UK, Netherland versions e.g. carphonewarehouse etc come with the plastic backs if you ordered a leather version. This has been confirmed. I'm only hoping the U.S. variants will do the same.

I don't know, but that link I listed is a Tmobile unit (non US). I wasn't sure on the pricing structure in those countries. Since I haven't seen a retail unboxing of TMO's G4, I will hold on to hope. Most likely won't happen though.
Just ordered mine
I'd say there is 0 chance that any us carrier includes both backs. It's just not the USA way.
Ordered mine. Also paid for overnight shipping as I'm moving this weekend to another state and wanted it in my hands before the move. Some points though:
I bought a metallic gray G4 using the link above and paid $11.99 for overnight shipping. I plan to stick with Cricket though (20GB/month for $55/month). That being said...FYI to anyone buying the phone:

1) You pay $50 or so in taxes (at least I did as a NY resident). I was hoping it would be tax free because online, but alas, tis not.
2) There is a mandatory $15 SIM Starter Kit that you have to pay for
3) There is no TMo logo on the phone according to customer service
4) You will need to apply for an unlock code by submitting an unlock request by calling customer service at 1-877-746-0909. That is, if you plan to use a different carrier like me.
5) As stated on Droid-Life by SDotNYC, you must go to www.lgg4t-mobilepromo.com to get the 128GB SD card by submitting proof of purchase by July 6th.
YES! I can't wait to get this phone! Finally the day has come!
Yeah not tax free because they have retail stores in your state, but I cant get the lgg4t-mobilepromo.com to load anyone else have that issue?
There is also another promo for a free battery and 32gb SD Card
Any differences in this that would keep me from fully using it on att? ie.. lte. This is a really attractive price
The website for the free SD card finally started working for me but you have to submit a copy of your receipt and a picture of the box showing your IMEI or MEID. So you can't actually submit anything until you get the phone.

I plan to use it on Cricket (basically AT&T). I compared the bands specs via a document on Droid-Life and PhoneArena and the bands are the same as they were on the LG G3 which works with both AT&T and Cricket obviously.
How to order without upgrade or adding a line
Gee, I hope I'm not thick, but the only options I see for buying are upgrading or adding a new line. Someone kindly explain how to buy without the hoops.
Thanks,

Verizon to open their preorder 28th and they DO have leather & cheaper than BB

According to this Verizon will open prereg order direct tomorrow.
So as many of us know, Best Buy did not show the leather as being available only white, blue, grey. And they want $609 versus $550 direct from Verizon.
So, I might now bail on the Best Buy one I PO'd and order the leather one direct and forgo the $100 best buy gift card since I would have to buy the leather and since the VZW one is $59 cheaper + not having to buy a leather back, now the Verizon direct might be a better deal since I DO want leather.
BB = $609 + tax = 658.79 - $100 gift card = 558.79 + have to buy a leather back (60-80$ so say $60) = $618.79
Verizon = $550 + get leather (and maybe the plastic back I hope as some in the UK get a plastic when they buy the leather so 2 backs in 1 buy) - having to buy a leather back + less tax $44 = $593.98
OR.. maybe get BB to match the $550 price and then you are back to being ahead if you have to buy the leather back but I just called, and they say they do not price match... oh well. Tomorrow I decide if I keep the BB po or order the VZW direct.
ps - And these preorders will begin shipping before its in stores on Thursday, June 4 (which is when BB has earliest pickup).
I'm in the same boat... Lol... Finally pulled the trigger and pre-ordered from BB. But that leather is probably going to make me cancel too.... Choices.... Choices... Lol

Good for you for finding that. I looked at the time I posted on their site & that was not posted. I figured tonight @ 9pm I'd check as that would be the 28th on the east coast.
No matter who I order with - likely Verizon given my logic above - I'm all over the "freebies".
you can actually add the gray and white to cart on verizon. i was thinking about picking up a leather one. i also noticed tmobile leather and regular is same price as well
Ordered a black leather G4! With free 2-day shipping it should arrive 6/3 or 6/4.

I just did the same thing.
So now i have a BB preorder and a Verizon preorder 1 will get cancelled since the Verizon is set to ship 6/1 so maybe 6/3 or 6/4 delivery then I fully expect to cancel the BB preorder - the day I get the VZW phone - because as per above, the direct Verizon is a better deal IF you want leather - and I want leather.
Just cancelled my BB order. Getting the leather from verizon. Just a heads up... I had to call best buy to cancel... Online would not let me.
Or you can live in a state like me with no sales tax and still win leather back is useless unless you're planning on not having a case (which is just stupid).

Yes, it is the "black" one. And yes, they do not make it entirely clear and obvious, especially when on a mobile device.
Some might be able to find out today what we get in the box - and how the phone seems - since Verizon claims "select stores" will have them in shop to see as of today. My local shop did not.

Lollipop has barely been adopted and pushed out to phones - atiny laughable 1.6% of Android OS usage - and now they are on to something else. This is part of the fragmentation downside of the Android OS. Most are still on KK and JB. Some might even end up skipping Lollipop usage actually. And even if this phone can support M - which I bet it can - that could be a year away (or more) based on M offical release and then, the provider prepping it for the phone and then pushing it. M? I couldn't care less about M right now.

I am waiting for Newegg to list the silver version so that I can preorder.
Also available for preorder on ZTE USA's site directly, and the first 500 get a free folio case!: https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7
Also available via ZTE USA's Ebay storefront, where it looks like you can get it even earlier, July 18th: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZTE-Axon-7-Unlocked-Smartphone-4GB-64GB-Ion-Gold-/252459025536
Freakin' awesome. About time. I have to go through BestBuy because I have a healthy amount of credit with them and after paying for a wedding and honeymoon I'm broke.
Edit : That sucks. BestBuy has it listed as coming 8/17.
Edit 2 : BestBuy also lists it as no Bluetooth connectivity. That has to be incorrect, right?
Silver is listed as 8/17 on ZTE's website. I pre-ordered it - I'm cool with waiting for a color that isn't gold.
they wrote unlocked it means that the bootloader is unlocked?

Of course not. It means you can use it with any carrier.

Ok, we hope that there will be the possibility of the unlock bootloader?
I have to admit was losing interest in this device. Now that there is a release date and a better than expected price point I'm beginning to regain some interest though I already have the LG G5 and Nexus 6P.
If there are no major flaws and it performs like the specs suggest, this will be a killer device at $400.
Meh gold only... Epic fail.

Quartz Silver available at Best Buy and ZTE USA's site.
Looks like ZTE is pulling an HTC, with the gold version releasing at least two weeks before the silver/grey.
I don't know why they did this. Agitates me.

In the webinar they had today, they plainly stated it was due to shortages in manufacturing.

Yea. I am going on vacation in the middle of August so I was force to get gold. Oh well, maybe it will help with resale value down the line.

That's what agitates me. The darker colors (black/grey) are usually the more popular options in the US so you'd think they'd opt to ramp up production on those instead of the gold.

Gray is up now.
Ordered the quartz gray. Might be able to get rid of the bonus headphones for $50. $350 for the A7 wouldn't be too bad.
Anyone know if Newegg will contact me before it actually ships? There's a month between now and when it's scheduled to ships, so who knows what might happens between now and then.

USA Model Listed as 4 GB, 64 GB storage and 3250 mh battery.
I'm guessing the $400 price tag over $450 is because we get no headphones, screen protector, and case in the box.
I'd of paid the extra $50 for those. I hate that all the international devices get extras and US doesn't.

No, you get those in the box, they said it in the "webinar".
Wow, really? That's freakin' awesome. Definitely glad I pre-ordered. We usually get skimped there.
