The LG G8 ThinQ, which launched in April, features a slim, sleek design and sports some unique biometric features, like letting you unlock the phone by having it scan the veins in your hand. It's also water-resistant and has a headphone jack, a rarity among premium phones .
"LG continues to deliver innovative features that our customers enjoy," said US Cellular's Mark Vitale in a release. "The LG G8 ThinQ incorporates multiple forms of biometric security features, touchless controls, along with its industry-leading camera and sound technology that make this device a very strong smartphone in our lineup."
