The LG V60 ThinQ 5G is set to roll out in key markets in North America, Europe and Asia starting next month, but the company has been tight lipped about an Australian release date.
‘At this point in time, we don’t have any news to announce about the LG V60 availability in Australia however we will share any additional updates on this going forward,’ an LG representative told ChannelNews.
It doesn’t mean the device isn’t set to arrive in Australia at all – it means consumers may see a repeat of what happened last year, whereby the company released its latest smartphone in Australia in its first few countries.
LG Electronics Australia have been contacted for comment.
