It look like the LG G6 has officially launched in Canada well ahead of its official April 7th release date.
We previously reported that Bell has started selling the flagship Android device, with Rogers and Fido going live as early as March 30th. However, over in Quebec, Videotron has informed us that the G6 is now available to purchase online and in-stores.
The LG G6 costs $199.95 CAD on contract or $999.95 on no-term. In addition, for those who purchase this 5.7-inch smartphone will receive a free LG PH3 Bluetooth speaker.
