South Korea’s LG Electronics’ latest flagship smartphone G6 on Friday will hit 25,000 retail shops of wireless carriers and big-box stores.

The U.S. market, the most heated stage for contest in the premium phone category, would decide the fate of the new handheld innovation that so far has had its best-ever review and response on the home turf.

LG commands the third’s largest share of 15.9 percent in the North American market after Samsung Electronics and Apple, according to U.S. market research firm Strategy Analytics (SA) Monday.

AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint have been receiving preorders from Mar. 17, offering various incentives and gifts like Google Home speaker which normally sells at $129 for buyers of the phone before Apr. 30.

AT&T is also cutting a deal for LG Watch Sport for $50 on a two-year agreement. Sprint offers a free 49-inch LG 1080p HDTV, which retails for $350 for a limited time.

LG Electronics on Sunday began airing 30-second commercial of the G6. The tech giant said its video clips on YouTube - “Life with Big” and “LG G6 Dance Battle x Crew 1” were viewed by over 130 million users.
