LG's latest flagship phone, the LG G6, has an official launch date of April 7, and many carriers are now taking preorders.

The LG G6 packs a large 5.7-inch screen with a lanky 18:9 aspect ratio into a trim, nearly bezel-less design. It's the first phone to feature Dolby Vision HDR, while around back you get two 13-megapixel cameras, one of which features a 120-degree wide-angle lens. The LG G6 is also dust- and water-resistant and features wireless charging. There are two color options -- platinum or black -- and one storage capacity at 32GB.

If you are looking to purchase the LG G6, here are your preorder options:

AT&T is open for preorders. You can choose to pay $24 a month for 30 months with no money down (for a total of $720) or the full retail price of $719.99 up front.

Sprint is open for preorders. You can choose to pay $29.50 a month for 24 months with no money down (for a total of $708) or $708 up front. Sprint sweetens the deal by throwing in a free 49-inch LG HDTV with your order.
