LG K92 5G price in Nigeria & availability
The price of the LG K92 5G was set at US$350 (approximately N135,000) and will be available for sale in the USA on November 06.
There is no official confirmation on the availability of the device outside the USA but the company may announce its release date outside the USA in the next coming weeks. Nonetheless, we estimate the LG K92 5G price in Nigeria to range between N155,000 to N165,000.
Verdict
The design of the device (especially the placement of the LED) may not be compelling to some users, but the overall specs show that the cameras, performance, and battery are solid.
The LG K92 5G was priced at $350 at launch. I’m not shocked that it carries an affordable price tag despite the fact that there are high costs associated with the hardware built into the device, especially when you realize that it has 5G connectivity. At this same price point, however, there are a variety of convincing options like Samsung Galaxy A71 5G, Samsung Galaxy A51 5G, Samsung Galaxy A42 5G, and Vivo Z6 5G.
One thing you should keep in mind: LG doesn’t bring all of its handsets to Nigeria. So, LG K92 5G may be exclusive only to the USA and some parts of Europe.
