For its part, LG launched a nationwide offline promotion event through experience zones set up at 13 places in five major cities. Also, V30s will be displayed at about 3,000 LG stores. LG will receive pre-orders from September 14 with gift package including "DayDream VR", the latest VR headset created by Google.
The exact price was not known but IT communities believe V30 will be sold for around 900,000 won, about 100,000 won cheaper than Note 8.
