LG G6 will be available in all Sprint retail channels on April 7, including www.sprint.com and 1-800-Sprint1, at $29.50 per month with 24 monthly installments.1 LG G6 is Sprint's first HPUE-enabled (High Performance User Equipment) smartphone. HPUE makes the Sprint network experience even better with increased coverage, more capacity and faster speeds on capable devices. Customers using an HPUE-enabled smartphone may have a better overall experience with streaming videos, mobile gaming and other online apps and services. HPUE can extend Sprint's 2.5GHz coverage by up to 30 percent to nearly match its midband 1.9GHz spectrum performance, including indoors where the majority of wireless traffic is generated. "The debut of LG G6 is an important step forward in building the global HPUE ecosystem with progress being made in record time after the standardization of the technology in December," said John Saw, Sprint CTO. "With HPUE, Sprint customers using LG G6 can expect even better coverage and faster data speeds, particularly when they are inside their homes, offices or anywhere in our nationwide 2.5GHz coverage area. We are excited to start bringing this next generation of smartphones to our customers and it all kicks off with the G6." With an average of 204MHz of spectrum and more than 160MHz of 2.5GHz spectrum in the top 100 U.S. markets, Sprint has more spectrum than any other carrier across the nation, allowing Sprint to keep adding the capacity and speed needed to serve customers' increasing demand for unlimited data.
