I am a little confused, on the phone picture and description it says LG V50 in the first, attached link. However, in the system specifications and reviews, on the same listing, the Samsung S7 edge is mentioned instead. The OP should contact the seller for clarification. It is one model or it is a different model/manufacturer entirely and not both. If I was buying the phone, it would raise major red flags for me. Something doesn't look right in my opinion. Just saying.

On a side note, I did use/own a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge on Verizon previously and was very pleased with that model phone. I have since upgraded to a more current model, but not due to any phone/product problems.

I wouldn't buy from that link.


The picture of the phone and the titling of the listing = an LG V50 ThinQ


The 'item specifics' and 'about this product', etc. = a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

OH I didn't even notice that discrepancy. Thanks, I'll double check it.

I noticed that when the OP was the only post.

I took too long to compose my previous post (distracted by what was on the TV screen).

FWIW to the OP, I have the LG G8x ThinQ (similar to the. V50) and I love it........

.....ETA: like it enough that I bought a second one off of eBay (single screen for the second one....the first one is (purchased new) factory unlocked with the Dual Screen case).....one for each of my two Apple Music subscriptions (the full 100k items in the library of my first subscription, and 37k items so far in the library of my second subscription.......the G8x has the Quad DAC tuned by Meridian (), and that is also mentioned on the page the OP linked to)

The seller of the phone has a 98.1% positive rating, and is located in Hong Kong. I would avoid buying from this seller. Look for one with 99+% positive rating, high feedback, long-time member (preferably), and located in the U.S.

Just my opinion.

I missed that .


When I bought my second LG G8x within the last few months, I stayed away from sellers with China or Hong Kong as the listed location and purchased from Florida instead. The phone arrived sooner than was promised and, as promised, it is flawless.

Thanks for all the tips. I don't even know what half the terms mean, so I miss a lot. No China or HK sellers. Got it.

The phone clearly identified as a Verizon phone

The prepaid Speedtalk Mobile plan usually has Tmobile carrier. So the phone is not likely to work with this plan.

I searched specifically for "unlocked" so I made the assumption that's all that would come up. I know better than that! lol

Speedtalk says it's a GSM network, so should any phone that says GSM Unlocked work with it?
