G4

£214.99 =p

good phone , after updating it works great (doesnt get hot)
I thought the curve would be annoying or gimmick , but u dont really notice it. and it fits nicely in your hand

Price has now come down to £211.92.

Price has now come down to £214.99.

Gotta say a big thumbs up for getting that variant of the phone for that price.

Went with this yesterday using eBay 20% off code. Came up to £161 - result!


You can purchase 2years worldwide warranty for 34.99$ (including device postage costs).

I've rooted mine now, which was a bit of a nerving experience... easy tool method got stuck, so while i was still in download mode i used the alternate command line method without disconnecting the usb, phew it worked

the charger works fine for me, although i did plug it into the adapter incorrectly at first

overall I'm very pleased, phone is smooth as silk

oh yeah, note there are thin bits of plastic protector on all 4 sides, i only just noticed them

Install another launcher and it almost feels like stock Android. I came from a Nexus 5 and prefer vanilla Android.

For me, this phone looks like a bargain compared to the new Nexus 5s. I was also considering a £110 Chinese Android phone but took the safer route and picked up one of these.

Only question mark is battery life so will see how that goes.

About four people at work ordered this deal when I showed it to them and they have all received it now. One is whining that the speaker isnt very loud and that he doesnt like the LG interface. However the other three absolutely love the phone. They have all came from previous Android handsets whereas the latter came from a Windows Lumia handset.

I feel a it behind with my G Flex 1 but I just love the six inch screen and monster battery. I can still go three days without a charge (almost), based upon below average usage (e.g. daily email, bit of browsing and a few mins of video).

Has anyone received theirs? Impressions?

Mine shipped.

Hi

Was considering this phone until I saw this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkwsPf6KvR0

I've put in a cancel request. Memories of the vodaphone lg g2 debacle last year, are haunting me.

stock in 2 days apparently

Keep the faith... Or just call them.

delay is putting me off too, might cancel

I have cancelled the order. Was hoping to get the phone today but delay has put me off.

you have cancelled it or they have?

Cancelled my order now.

Orered this morning with next day delivery... and the status is 'Ordered on request' What does that mean?

lost my galaxy s4 : ( how does this compare? camera ,internet etc?

g.flex 2 will get android 6 but not likely as fast as g4 and that will be it.but its a high performance phone far cheaper than other options and the screen is fantastic.the curve makes a difference.the camera is good.battery is good.speed is top notch after five updates.probly runs the snapdragon 810 as good as its ever going to get.i notice no lag or overheating at all.for just over 200 nothing compares the new moto g is near 200 and its pathetic compared to this

Interested if you could supply the source as LG have made no official announcements. The fact remains this is a 2015 flagship phone undergoing a fire sale. If I were LG I would not be wasting time and money updating a phone that I was losing money on.

Then please do highlight the hardware differences between this phone, and a phone that is released next week, if you feel that strongly about it.

updates.mostly crap.how many positve changes since jelly bean.few really.biggest positive change would be allowing most apps to go onto micro sd.also stop google services using so much battery.screen is biggest use off battery so not likely much change there however optimised android gets.google says lollypop works better on lower ram phones compared to kitkat but now we have 64bit 4gig ram phones.why is that.most stuff now adays is marketing bullcrap.fact is 2013 was the year of best improvements with snapdragon 800 and lg g2 how many phones last as long battery wise as lg g2??its only flaw was low internal memory and no micro sd

lollipop on nexus had a bad 'memory leak' bug for 9 months, only got fixed back in @June .

not always best to be beta testers, especially when other oems fix the bug before Google do

Yeah instant updates and instant bugs much like previous releases, like you say the previous poster asked for a comparison so maybe it would have been better to highlight the hardware differences rather than concentrate on the software not that the response even explained the difference between the LG UI and stock android.

Is it a Free sim Phone ? Im willing to buy it but I worry that whether it is a contract phone

This or the G3 and why?

You appear to have correctly identified the issue with updates: "Updating is an issue for all OEM's".

The original poster was not referring to other OEM's, merely comparing this phone, to the upcoming Nexus 5X. Thus they are comparing a phone that will receive almost instant updates, to a phone that will not.

Waiting for an update may not be an issue for yourself, however in a few months time, once the updates become less frequent, or stop altogether, I'm sure it will be an issue.
This would be a concern for someone who has decided to purchase this phone, directly over a Nexus 5X, which was what was asked.

Not really an issue is it, if all you have to do is wait and that's for the official updates. Updating is an issue for all OEM's as they all have additional software and features to change on top of stock Android. Whilst also trying to push the barriers in development of new phones.

As the poster stated " but it is unlikely to receive any further official Android updates." they were obviously wrong.

It's been announced that this is getting Android 6.0, however a timeline for that isn't in place yet, and the original point still stands; updates will be an issue in the future.

I think you'll find that it is getting Marshmallow

Don't believe the hype!

Great phone brilliant price have some heat

Thanks op

anybody have any opinion between this and a Nexus 5X?

I own the LG G2 - hands down the best phone I have ever owned... (and I've had iPhones, Samsungs) despite the bad camera for taking night shots (lens flare).

This is deal is hot... I'm tempted.

I owned one of these and could not get on with it. I have also looked at one on display (so I don't think a dodgy handset) and with both I felt

- The display is grainy unless at full brightness
- the camera lacks any manual settings and so is hit or miss
- the curve negatively impacts on the readability of the screen for some (I found focussing difficult)
- My handset would stutter quite regularly (particularly flicking from photo to photo - very annoying)
- The set icons for messaging and phone are outdated and ugly as is the messaging app (easily changeable - but really annoyed me!)

I bought at about this price thinking it would be a real upgrade to my z2 - it didn't feel like an upgrade at all. Luckily I managed to sell at no loss however 2nd hand prices at CEX, GAME etc have recently dropped for the phone.

My Z2 was dropped and repaired and is now a bit glitchy - but still happier with it than the g flex 2

You've just got to be really careful with purchases outside of the UK.

Nuff said.

​No warranty (3rd party purchase) and won't work on all UK 4g bands, only EE and 3 I think.

The 16GB version is still OK but obviously you'd need to lean on the expansion card to store media if you install even one or two of the bigger games.
Honestly, if it was the 32GB version I'd be willing to pay an extra 20 quid and buy one right now.

there is also 2gig ram and 32gb memory one h959 which i have

careful, i ordered it thinking it was 3gb ram. GSM arena and the rest say it is but having looked on expansys it's 2gb ram. Need to call up tomorrow to cancel it. Not worth an upgrade from my nexus 5.

Pretty sure the battery on the g4 is a little better. Also removeable.

battery is good gives five hour screen time a day set on automatic brightness.camera is good also.all the reviewers raved over the g3 camera last year and its same camera with very slight improvement.its just not as good as the g4 or s6 camera.but battery life is better than both.

Why no dual sim? That's a major omission.

Good price but battery is not great and camera is only average.

the one i got from eglobal for 190 in red is 2gig of ram but 32meg built in memory.its very fast.

just bought it, couldn't resist at this price

I'm a week into trying to get a replacement for a Nexus 6 that was DOA. Terrible company.

Just switched to a G4 and it is a great phone. Got if from amazon warehouse for less than £300.

this is more powerful than a g4

Do you know this or lg G4 which one better ?

I bought one of these (32GB version)about 3 weeks ago from eGlobal for £200. Updated it to 5.1.1 straight away, its a brilliant phone, very fast, no lag. The only time it gets hot is with intense 3D gaming, but so do other modern phones. For those who care it also scores well in benchmarks, AnTuTu almost 58000, geekbench 3 1225 single and 4263 multi. For £200 its an absolute beast. Also comes with a quick charger that will charge it in around 1h20mins

EDIT... This phone is also going to be getting the Android 6 Marshmallow update

​Still have them for under £300 at smartfonestore or whatever its called. I was tempted but can't justify the upgrade from the G3.

Flex those muscles at Samsung....ha

no about £95 extra when cheapest a few weeks ago

How is the camera? Heard its not the best for a 13mp

adore my flex 1
heat

​But £150 dearer. ..

This is a great deal, but just had a bad experience with Expansys trying to get the Asus chargers that were on here recently. Best of luck to all takers.

Buy from Expansys at your peril. I'd rather pay a little more and avoid these people.

Ordered this through rakuten over a month ago - great phone ! ...and with genuine LG UK charger, not adapter like in description...

Got my wife one of these from here around a month ago. Paid 235, it great phone for the money. Dont be put off my thr curve, it feels really nice in the hand.

That's a lot of phone for the money!
