Here's how much you can expect to pay for LG's latest.
LG's going for the extreme high end of the market with , and unlike earlier this year it has the support of all major U.S. carriers to do it. The V40 starts at $900, which puts it at the absolute top of the range for most people, so carrier financing plans are going to be key to get this phone out the door.
Here's what you can expect to pay from each carrier and retailer out there, along with all of the current deals and incentives on offer to try and lighten the blow of that price tag.
AT&T
AT&T is promoting its "Next" plan, which gets the monthly cost for the V40 down to $31.67 per month ... though that's spread over 30 months rather than the typical 24-month payment plan. The total price for the phone is $950 all-in.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile is the cheapest of the big four carriers, coming in at $920. That's available on a $30 per month payment plan with $200 down, though many of you have T-Mobile's Jump! program that will get you an upgrade far sooner.
The V40 is available from T-Mobile starting on October 12.
Sprint
listed for $960, or an even $40 per month over 24 months. The carrier is most likely to push you toward a lease deal, though, which it's advertising as $20 per month for 18 months ... though you're obligated to return the phone and upgrade at the end of the term.
There isn't a pre-order period here, it just goes on sale on October 19.
Verizon
Verizon has the highest price tag on the V40, coming in at a smooth $980. That breaks down to $40.84 per month on a 24-month financing plan, which we suppose lightens the burden a bit.
US Cellular
US Cellular, as it usually does, comes in with the absolute cheapest offer for the V40: just $900, setting the benchmark for the phone's price. We don't yet know what the unlocked pricing will be, but US Cellular gives us a good indication of what to expect.
