LG G5 pre-orders open tomorrow at Sprint

Sprint today announced that, starting March 24 (that's tomorrow!), it's going to accept pre-orders for the LG G5, before actually launching the handset on April 1. Qualified Sprint customers will be able to buy the LG G5 for $0 down (plus tax) and $24 per month for 2 years, or for $576 outright. The new smartphone will also be available for $149 with a new 2-year contract (after a $50 mail-in rebate).

If you trade-in your old smartphone when purchasing the G5, Sprint can offer you at least $150 credit, plus an accessory bundle comprised of an extra battery, a charging cradle, and a USB-C to Micro USB adapter.

The LG G5 is already available to pre-order at AT&T - which, just like Sprint, will release the device on April 1. That's also when Verizon is expected to start selling the smartphone, while T-Mobile plans to do it a bit earlier: on March 29.

Succeeding the G4 from last year, the G5 is LG's first G series smartphone to be made out of metal, as well as the company's first handset to have a modular design (allowing users to easily swap out the battery, and replace it with another battery, or with one of the LG Friends accessories). The LG G5 offers a number of attractive, high-end features, including a 5.3-inch Quad HD display, a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a 16 MP dual rear camera.
