Don't think you'll be able to afford or just not that excited about the LG G6? Get the LG V20 at 50 percent off from AT&T, or a dirt-cheap G4 on eBay.

Verizon has been selling its network-locked configuration of the successful LG V20 smartphone on a tempting buy-one-get-one-half-off plan for a few weeks now. And T-Mobile’s “kinda crazy” Black Friday deals even include the 5.7-incher as free… under certain conditions.
Meanwhile, the SIM-free, factory unlocked handheld is still rather expensive stateside, at a recommended retail price of $800, which at least covers a number of gifts through B&H, namely a G Pad 7.0 tablet, Asus ZenPower Pro battery pack, and JBL Synchros Bluetooth on-ear headphones.
Shelling out the extra cash upfront for a carrier-free LG V20 this holiday season may start to seem like a good idea for semi-professional and amateur software developers too after hearing of the latest bootloader unlock program expansion.
LG officially supports OS tinkering on the V20 now, but unlike the V10, G5 and G4, which are open to otherwise unauthorized ROM modifications on the old continent, the “next-gen” phablet only joins the party for the “US open market.”
We’re guessing that means US996 models sold on Amazon, B&H or Newegg as opposed to mobile operators, and of course, you should never rule out an eventual European love-spreading effort.
It’s very important to highlight LG V20 phones with unlocked bootloaders will surrender their manufacturer warranty rights, so take a moment and think about the risks before embracing a custom ROM. Remember, this thing already runs Android 7.0 Nougat, and the OEM’s proprietary skin is not that intrusive.

Remember when the G4 was cream of the Android-based hardware crop, and LG charged a whopping $600 for a contract-free, SIM-free variant? It feels like an eternity ago, but it’s only been a little over a year, and while the modular, all-metal G5 has definitely eclipsed the leather-clad 5.5-incher, the latter’s many discounts still recommend it as a must-buy.Maybe not for power users always looking to own the best of the best, with normal folks that pay little attention ...
