Telstra is kicking off LG G6 pre-orders from tomorrow ahead of a launch on March 28, and is hoping to sway customers with a bonus TV. If you purchase a G6 on a Go Mobile Plus, Go Mobile Swap, My Business Mobile Plus, or My Business Mobile Lease 24-month contract worth $95 per month or more, you'll get a bonus 43-inch 2017 Full HD LG Smart TV (model 43LJ550).
In order to nab yourself a TV, you'll need to make a claim within 10 days of purchase, providing a tax invoice including your name, date or purchase, your eligible plan, and your phone's IMEI serial number. You'll also need to upload a photo of the IMEI number of the packaging of the product.
Telstra has yet to officially confirm its LG G6 plans, but according to leaks, they'll be quite competitive. The G6 will attract a $27 handset repayment on Telstra's $55 Go Mobile Plus plan, $16 on a $75 plan, $6 on a $95 plan, and $0 on both a $135 and $195 plan.
For those not familiar with the device, the LG G6 is LG's flagship smartphone for 2017. Key features include an extra tall display with an 18:9 aspect ratio (or 2:1), a design light on bezels, and water-resistance. While LG's been one of the few flagship manufactures clinging on to removable batteries, that's ended with the G6; the G6's battery is sealed, and the modular design introduced with the G5 is gone too.
The G6's 5.7-inch extra tall "FullVision" display is the star of the show, running at a resolution of 2880x1440 pixels. Despite the fact that a 5.7-inch screen is distinctly phablet territory, the G6's lack of bezel and the screen's added height mean the phone is just slightly larger than a 4.7-inch iPhone 7. Essentially, it's small enough to still hold and use in one.
LG's free TV promotion runs from March 22 to May 9. TVs will start being delivered from May 22, but it may take up to six weeks to get yours.
