Updated: LG G4 release date: where can I get it? ~ lotfi

We've got all the details right here.

Read our extended hands on: LG G4 review

Carphone Warehouse

The high street retailer has the LG G4 in stock and on sale right now, with a free leather backed handset in black (exclusive to Carphone) or brown setting you back £35 per month. It's also offering the grey, plastic backed model - but it doesn't look or feel anywhere near as good as the leather.

While the black and grey models are only available on contract, the brown leather LG G4 can also be snapped up for £519.99 SIM-free - although it can be had cheaper elsewhere (scroll down a bit!).

O2

The bubbly network has confirmed it'll be stocking the LG G4 in Metallic Grey and holds network exclusivity on the Genuine Leather Brown option.

Pricing options haven't been revealed yet but existing G3 owners can trade in their handset for £130 credit against the new phone.

For now all you can do is register your interest in the G4 to get updates from O2.

Three

Three has now confirmed it will be stocking the LG G4 and it will have exclusivity on the white ceramic version until the end of June.

Three offers benefits such as the Feel At Home feature, which offers your calls, texts and data in 18 different countries around the world as if it was the UK.

If you're keen to get the G4 from Three make sure you register for updates on its website to be kept in the loop.

Vodafone

Vodafone has confirmed it'll be stocking the new LG G4 but the network hasn't let us know any details of pricing just yet.

EE

The UK's largest 4G network has not revealed whether it will be stocking the LG G4 but we're bound to see it appear in the coming weeks.
