LG V30 will probably cost $749.99
LG unveiled the V30 two days ago at IFA in Berlin, but the company has so far provided very few details about its availability and price in the US. Sure, we know that all the big carriers will offer it (and Sprint's even going for the V30+ model with more internal storage), but none of the networks have said anything about a release date other than "in early fall". And no prices have been mentioned at all. Thankfully though, LG may have already revealed how much the V30 is going to cost stateside. Remember that Twitter contest that the company started yesterday, which sees it giving away...
T-Mobile now offers Buy One, Get One free deal for the Galaxy Note8

Samsung Galaxy C8 teasers spotted, yet another phone with a dual camera
Samsung's first phone with a dual camera, the Galaxy Note8, is official, but there are at least two more models in the works. The C10 is perhaps the one that the rumor mill mentions most often, but the Galaxy C8 is picking up speed quickly. Note that this seems to overlap with what we knew as the Galaxy C7 (2017) until now, aka SM-C7100. Regardless of the model number, these shots from a demo app clearly call it the Galaxy C8 and more than imply a dual camera setup. Samsung Galaxy C8 teaser images Going to the usual hunting grounds with a model number in hand, one can...
