LG may not be spilling the beans on the U.S. release date of its latest flagship, but retailer B&H Photo has listed the LG V20 for preorder, revealing the handset's arrival date in the country.

On Sept. 28, B&H Photo put up the preorder listing for the LG V20 and while initially the pre-purchase date was shown as Oct. 2, the retailer later updated its listing and changed the date from this Sunday to Oct. 17 at 12 a.m. instead. For those wondering by when the handset will be shipped to them, the retailer does not mention any estimated shipping window.

Interestingly, while B&H Photo has revealed the preorder date for the LG V20, its listing does not share the price of the handset. However, the popular online retailer has the unlocked variant of the LG V20 up for grabs. The listing "NEW ITEM - COMING SOON" also shows that the LG V20 on offer is the "North American variant," which will be compatible with CDMA, GSM and LTE.

This basically means that the unlocked model for sale from B&H Photo will work with any major U.S. network operator and, therefore, those keen on buying it can breathe easy and need not worry about carrier compatibility.

B&H Photo has the 64-GB model of the LG V20, which boasts a secondary display, up for preorder in two hues: Silver and Titan.

At the time of launch on Sept. 6, LG only revealed that the release window for the V20 in the U.S. would be "over the course of the next several weeks." Rumors have hinted at an Oct. 21 release date for the LG flagship in the country.

Interestingly, U.S. carrier T-Mobile also listed the LG V20 as "coming soon" a week ago, suggesting that the device's release is just around the corner.

The LG V20 has hit the South Korean shelves on Sept. 29 and with it being made available in the company's home country, consumers would be hoping that the first-ever Android 7.0 Nougat powered handset graces U.S. shores soon.

While B&H Photo did not share the pricing of the unlocked model of the LG V20, we estimate that the handset will be priced around $600 The phone is being sold for approximately $800 in South Korea, but the prices there are usually higher in comparison to North America.

With B&H Photo giving us a peek into the LG V20's arrival date in the U.S., here's hoping that other retailers and carriers follow suit and offer more details.

If you want to preorder the LG V20 in Silver or Titan from B&H Photo on Oct. 17, make sure you snag yours timely before stocks run out!
