According to a sales representative from an LG Mobile store we visited awhile ago, the LG G6 will arrive in the Philippines for Php37,990USD 647INR 54,880EUR 617CNY 4,715. They’re silent about the official date of nationwide release, but we’ve been told that there will be a pre-order program launching around the Holy Week season that will provide freebies (maybe that’s the free 64GB microSD card we’ve reported earlier today, but we can probably expect more).

With a three-way flagship fight between top Chinese giant Huawei and fellow Korean juggernaut Samsung this month, whose side will you choose?
