TL;DR: Snag an unlocked LG G8 ThinQ smartphone with 128GB of storage and the Alexa virtual assistant for just $639.99 when you order from Amazon. It’s normally $849.99, so you’ll save $210.


Here’s a little-known fact: If you want to know what’s trending in the smartphone sector, just watch a Jennifer Lopez music video. Take 2000’s “Feelin’ So Good,” in which the pop star proved that cordless phones were here to stay: 

More recently, J. Lo set aside a shot in her futuristic “Medicine” video to show off the cutting-edge LG G8 ThinQ smartphone and its gesture-based Air Motion technology:

(Your fave could never.)

If your phone is in need of a serious upgrade, take note from Lopez and grab an LG G8 ThinQ, now available on Amazon with built-in support for the Alexa virtual assistant. That variant comes in a sleek “aurora black” finish and sports 128GB of storage, and for a limited time, it’s yours for a fraction of its $850 suggested retail price.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of Amazon’s discount on the LG G8 ThinQ, a quick word about its spec lineup: As its name implies, the Amazon Alexa Hands-Free feature requires only your voice to work; simply say “Alexa” followed by a command (“check the weather,” “read the news,””play ‘Jenny from the Block'” etc.) and the virtual assistant will respond in moments. You’ll find LG’s Z Camera on the front of the device, a tricked-out selfie camera that uses infrared lights to measure what’s in front of it; the Hand ID feature lets you use your individual circulatory patterns as your phone’s password, and the aforementioned Air Motion technology lets you control your phone using just hand gestures.

Looks-wise, the LG G8 ThinQ has a sleek, edge-to-edge 6.1-inch OLED FullVision display — a touchscreen that doubles as a speaker thanks to Crystal Sound LG OLED technology. 

Head over to Amazon ASAP to order the Alexa-equipped LG G8 ThinQ smartphone for just $639.99 — $210 off its $849.99 MSRP.
