You can already get the 5G Korean model with 8GB Ram 128GB storage at Q10 for $599 (although Snapdragon 765 instead of 765G)

I believe is 6gb 128gb Korean telco set, those have a lot of Korean bloatware. Had past experience with a Korean telco Samsung tablet.

The seller also stated clearly buyer have to bear any import tax 😉

If international set, then worth thinking about it.

most apps can be disable. using v50 as an example. :)
and KR set will have faster OS updates then let say US set.

Would prefer none compared to disabled. Updates definitely faster on KR sets since it's only sold with carriers in USA. But my KR tablet updates also not very fast because it's Telco set.

Will compare the price between the 2 variants first and wait for NDP promo.

I am using the 8GB 128GB Korean version now. Korean apps can be uninstalled.

If not local set, you will always have to pay import GST. Waiting for International set is the same.

For some of my past overseas purchases, sellers have helped me in that regard 😉

Great to hear the KR apps can be uninstalled. Thanks for sharing.

From what I can gather from US reviews thus far, the 2 manor concerns I have are the poor camera and ui stutters. How has the general usage experience been for you ?

Normally if issues that can be fixed in software I would not worry. But LG's track record in this regard in extremely poor.

Buy separately is good because you don't have to pay import GST for the dual screen case
