LG G6 to be launched in the US on April 7, no white color option
The LG G6 is selling by the thousands in its home country already, but the US isn't getting any of that 18:9 Full Vision goodness until April 7. It was the rumored launch date for the States since well before the phone's announcement, but @evleaks now has the press render to prove it.

A date displayed on the lockscreen is a common way of conveying the message without actually saying it explicitly, and Evan Blass rarely gets anything wrong, so April 7 it (most likely) is.
The disappointing bit is that the Mystic White color option apparently won't be available on the US market. That warranted a separate tweet for those that didn't get the hint - just the Ice Platinum and Astro Black versions are in the render. Oh, well.

You want to think yourselves lucky if your in the states... We in Europe don't get EITHER of those two options and we'll still be paying the same amount as you guys...

Why? Does America have an aversion to the white-colored smartphones? Who makes these ridiculous decisions?

Stupid strategy by itself (LG) Premium G6 now in US. Collapse marketing for LG especially in Asia is bitter real
