The LG X500 is priced at 319,000 Korean won (around $285) and will be available starting from June 9, 2017, in the country. It comes with different model numbers like SK Telecom variant of the LG X500 will be LGM-X320S, the KT carrier variant will have the model number LGM-X320K and the LG Uplus variant will have the model number LGM-X320L.
