Recently unveiling the flagship at this year's Mobile World Congress, LG has announced that the LG G5 will roll out to global fans soon.

According to Android Authority, LG has confirmed a March 31 global roll-out for the G5. Some markets have already started offering pre-orders as retailers anticipate a huge interest in the new flagship.

The LG G5 is already listed on the Best Buy website, where it is offered in a bundle promo. The deal is for an AT&T- or Sprint-locked handset, and aside from retailer freebies, fans will also get LG G5 accessories such as a replacement battery, a charging cradle, and a USB Type-C-to-micro-USB adapter.

Meanwhile, T-Mobile offers a pre-order date of March 29 for fans, two days before the launch date. Those who will purchase the LG G5 from T-Mobile will also have a free battery, charging dock and cable adapter. T-Mobile will include the new LG 360 cam as an added bonus.

The mobile carrier announced that the LG 360 cam freebie is a limited exclusive and will be available only until supplies last.

The LG G5 is one of the highlights of this year's Mobile World Congress, since its modular design has been considered a "groundbreaking" feature by observers. The LG G5 allows for a "Magic Slot" option, and users can extend the flagship's features with hardware accessories. These "Friends" accessories include a camera grip that acts as a DSLR-like image capture feature, a double-capacity battery that extends standby and usage time and a dedicated audio module from Bang and Olufsen.
