Get a sheepdog.

Have to disagree, the G3 weighs less, has a better screen-to-body ratio, better resolution/pixel density, otherwise they're nearly identical (unless you're into curvy phones).

The G Flex 2 from Expansys for £214.99 is a much better phone and worth paying the extra for.

bought from amazon within 30 days for 245.99 just got a refund of 55 notes so once again thank you HDUK and thanks OP for posting love this site!!!!!!!!

Scorching hot :sunglasses:

Oh :neutral_face:

great deal

Shame it's only 16gb, but def hot for those who need it!

What is better? LG G3 OR Vodafone Smart Ultra 6?

good deal..hot

omg cheap!!! I have this best phone ever.

Great phone - 4k video , but overheating while recording ... for this price bargain!

The G Flex 2 from Expansys for £214.99 is a much better phone and worth paying the extra for.

I have this phone, it's ace. Camera struggles with moving objects, but what mobile camera doesn't? If I hadn't bought this a few months back I would be all over this.

I have one and am using it now and I find it really laggy and quite buggy as well. opening things like Kindle takes an eternity and overall the OS isn't that slick. My wife has a Galaxy S6 Edge and that is like a Ferrari to my Reliant Robin. I would save up for the G4 or look elsewhere personally. or buy mine and rescue me from its distinct averageness!!!

I can see this breaking 1000+ especially with the top notch no quibble returns amazon offer over other retailers selling this model.

For £190 this deal is stonkingly HOT HOT HOT !!!!!!

some fair points, though the sd810 cpu/gpu in the flex2 is well sorted with the latest updates, it's a beast.. I ran 4 back to back antutu tests and got 58k,55,51,52.. and the adreno 420 gpu is also a monster

Can't decide this or the extra £100 for the G4?! Someone help!

So we have 2 G3 deals in the same day and the cheaper one isn't as hot? Go figure...

Great price but huge phone.

I would get an A9 if it wasn't so overpriced...

Wow.. the previous flagship phone drops below £200 is a deal on its own :smiley: But heard a lot about the sluggishness compare to the 32GB 3GB version. So if you are really into installing a lot of apps I would say stay away from this.

But if you are looking for a mid range phone at this price I think is a good buy.

Ordered 1 great bargain plus £60 from Mazuma for my old fone so even cheaper..... heat added

god dam it lol the wife paid 249 i do believe for this from argos not mor than 3 weeks ago how do i get em to take it back and get a refund... there tight on there phone returns
any help or sarcasm appreciated ta

Where has the best price for the G4?

Thought that but I hear there's a lot of touchscreen problems with the G4 and it's actually £120 more expensive now so that's why I'm leaning towards this. Think I'll order G3 for now while it's still in stock then can always return it if need be...

been there before with argoose and mobiles my daughters one packed up after 3 months and they refused a refund only a repair hmmm

this when I miss bespoke

Still happy with my LG G2 from last years Black Friday offer for £150 so this is tempting for a little bit more

bought from amazon within 30 days for 245.99 just got a refund of 55 notes so once again thank you HDUK and thanks OP for posting love this site!!!!!!!!

I didn't know that Barclays have shutdown beat my price. oh well :disappointed:

buy £30 gift card to get £7 free code if you have that offer in account. effectively £183 for nice phone.

Unspeakably cold if it's on Android 5.0, until 6.0 is out. In a few months this'll be a deal.

HEAT!

This plus get shot of LG bloat.. mix with some pure Google Android 5 magic and booooom, all you need in a smartphone for less than £190 of her majesties finest gibs ;-)

CHOOSE AMAZON NOT ARGOS !!!!

its the Argos price match incl their voucher offer

I know one thing wont be getting a samsung. S3 frioze up after a year and was unusable after 18 months even after a rest. Sames happening with this s5 not even a year old its slow batterys craps and apps contacts etc keep not responding. Im sure its there crappy updates! Im consudering

An iphone or definately an lg

Sounds like Marshmallow is delayed for LG - how bad is Android 5.x?

said id jump at a moto x 2nd gen if it got to under 200, now this is a contender and so is the g flex2. what to do? any suggestions?

(lack of sd slot on moto x not a deal breaker)

Mine just failed. Screen flickers and goes nlack. Google it seems common issue after first year :disappointed:. Going to rma it.

Or you could consider a OnePlus Two for £289.

I have a OnePlus One and love it.

Originally had the LG G2 & was very happy with it until I smashed it on holiday - Then I promptly bought the G3; honestly I almost preferred the LG G2; recently upgraded to G4 because the camera is amazing. I don't regret it. My advice? Go for the G4 if you can, the fantastic camera trounces even my wife's iphone 6 and it generally feels nicer to use and doesn't madly overheat for no apparent reason which the G3 did quite regularly.
Having said that, the G3 is a very good phone and if you can't stretch to the G4, you will be very happy with it.

Yeah.
I don't think that day will ever come...

This or xperia Z2...

Is nlack a colour or a sound?

Are you Lloyd Grossman?

I have to defend Samsung, although their phones are full of bloatware, I've had a Note 2 for a couple of years now, and I can't fault it, I'm a heavy user to as I use the phone as sat nav all day for work, then in the evenings to lurk on here lol, and do my business through Facebook, I know this is a post about the LGG3, but Id advise anyone considering getting one to buy a Note 3 for the same price, if waiting for Black Friday isn't an option for you.

Same problem here. Started exactly 12 months after purchase. Almost like it's designed to fail on warranty expiration. Was the best phone I've ever had until then. Just can't be without a phone to have the opportunity to send it off for repair.

Heat!

I've had a G3 for nearly a year and it developed a touch-screen fault. LG were very efficient at getting fixed - all at no cost to me. They even paid for special delivery postage both ways. In addition it's a feature-laden phone and has a very nice super-high-resolution screen. I paid over £300 so sub £190 get the hots from me :-).

Z2 specs are better is most categories actually. And you do know the z2 was released only a month before thus phone right...

Is this much better than a galaxy s4?

Why you making me spend!!!!

The screen to size ratio is one of the best on the market.
Some reasons to buy it this amazing price:

1. It's perfect for those of us who have smaller hands but want a large screen.

2. HDMI out without the need to plug in a power source (unlike MHL)

3. Excellent ROM support ( XDA)

4. LG infra red remote built in (great if you have an lg tv).

5. Removable battery

6. USB OTG and Micro SD support

7. GPS works great

8. Chromecast screen mirroring works great.

​your g3? also happened to me screen flickering blacking out luckily just inside warranty great phone features but crap battery I blame the 2k screen. 1080 is best

You could always drop it off at your local DPD depot.

flaming :laughing:

I also have one of these. Brilliant phone struggles with battery and over heating whilst recording. lots of nice features and worth it for the price. its nearly half price from year before..

Was waiting for this to drop but snapped up Sony Xperia Z2 for £230 at Argos. I'm happybut this is hot

What a cracking deal

Its a "swap" so cant do that. Assume they are giving me a temp phone.

Just reading that the warranty is only 1 year - but they accepted my RMA. Will they charge me then? Never buying an LG again. Should have known after my TV died 6 months past warranty.

That's new to me if they are. Maybe they are simply exchanging your phone instead of repairing it?

Is there any way of waking the phone up without using the power button on the back? It sounds like a great feature but I use my phone a lot on a tabletop so it would be annoying to have to keep picking it up to turn it on.

I posted the same thing in the Nexus 6 thread but has any one used one of these for doing google cardboard vr. Assuming the large higher resolution screen makes it one of the best options for close up viewing, but how does it handle motion, any lag from the gyros etc?

£176 on flubit

Double tap anywhere on the screen.
Or you can use Knock Code of your choice.

I hope so... but they haven't seen my phone so doubt it. They said turnaround 3 to 5 days so don't know., Will know tomorrow when they do the "swap".

Thanks for the replies regarding waking up the phone - very helpful and sounds like a good system.

Great phone, 16gb is fine, add an sd card also. i think I'd rather buy with Argos though in case you get one with a fault, easier to take back

I have this phone, brilliant

Can someone tell me which model number of G3 this is? Because I know there were different global versions with different specs. Thanks

Just bought this phone and it's mint.

I have this phone (32gb version) since Jan15 and upgraded to G4 which I got it yesterday. The online downside is the battery life - usually I get between 2h15min and 2h.40min and I am a medium user ;

!!! There is a lot of lag from time to time which can be completely fixed by changing the governor to conservative from interactive (there is a bug with the interactive governor slows down too much the cpu) - you need root for this

Did you install a custom rom on the G3?

No, just root, stock rom. Also installed Adaway for ads. If you install a custom rom, the camera quality will be horrible; only works great on stock

not so, you cannot move all apps to sd so those with many games / apps need to take it into consideration.

People keep saying get the G4 at £100 more but this deal is so much hotter than the G4 deal at £289.99. Can someone please explain why? I've ordered both but don't know what one is the better deal...

herd this a rubbish phone

i dont get it

Not to worry. It wasn't funny to begin with.

I got it. I found it smile worthy.

Unfortunately an angry (ex) girlfriend smashed my 11 month old G3 2 weeks ago so I decided to go for the G4 as there was less than £100 difference in price and there would be obvious improvements.
I'm very impressed that LG seem to have addressed the main complaints about the G3 ie battery life and screen brightness and resolution and also lag. The screen and the lag were never much of an issue for me but a spare battery was a must if I was out for the day.
The battery on the G4 is superb, the screen is much better, and there is no lag as far as I can see. There might be a split second but I'm sure all phones have a few milliseconds of lag.
I prefer the shape of the G3 but for the price, the G4 improves on it in every department. Yes they're both big phones but surely screen size is important these days as we use the apps on our phones more than we do to make calls, so the bigger the screen, the less strain on the eyes surely. It's easy to hold when making a call anyway. Both great phones but I'd definitely go for a G4 if you can afford it because even though they look similar, the performance of the G4 pretty much slaughters the G3.

Great price and just got 5% off (through a work discount) bringing it down to £180.50 so scorching deal!

Gone up in price :disappointed:

Tell u mate there ****. There updates make it worse i think. Iphone for me next

Yeah, far as im aware

​I'd like to know also, my G2 is great but going back to LG under warranty for screen burn. I'm sure that it will come back as new but tempted by this offer?? 3

It's showing as £199 from Amazon? Cheaper phones are used ones.

Or you can double tap to lock it :smile:

True! But, that's only useful if you have a free space on your desktop, otherwise it invokes whatever you tap.

Or you can quickly double tap on top of the screen if there is no space on your desktop. That should work as well :smile:

Well shock me - that works. I never knew that. Thanks dessala

Thanks, just purchased for £199, probably better customer service via Amazon if the need should arise. Signed up with prime trial and got free next day delivery...... That beats going to Argos!!!

I bought the phone for 275 a few months back and all i can say is- the phone is unexeptional and unexciting. Theres no real problems with it except for the screen.
The screen is sooo washed out and dim even compared to a nexus 5 and its extrememly OVERSHARPENED which makes text, video and images look really weird.
I wish i waited a couple of months and got the lg g4/moto x play/moto x style.
The camera is good but the pictures are only good viewed on another device eg my ipad air. On the phone itself the pictures look bad due to the oversharpening and washed out colours. On a side note I compared my g3 to one at a vodafone store and strangely the vodafone ones screen looked brighter with better contrast and colour. I checked up online about this and apparently some g3s have a difderent screen manufacturer so the screen looks worse (similar to the chipgate issue on the iphone 6s). When i found this out I tried asking amazon for a refund or a moto x play in exchange buuut the guy I was chatting to just shipped a free replacement g3 without my permission. (which is kind of understandable since in the chat it seemed he hardly knew any english).
And then he told me to ship my old lg g3 back to amazon, which i did. So then i recieved my new g3 on monday and guess what: it looked the exact same as the old one :disappointed:
Now i really want a refund but theres two problems:
A. I probably wont get a full refund as i bought the original g3 for 275 and now its 199 so im gonna lose around £76

2. I really dont know if a free replacement (says the new g3 cost £0 on my orders) is eligible for a refund.

So basically I think I'm stuck with this phone :disappointed:

Its had the mainboard replaced. Was over a year old but they didn't try to charge me or anything. Will be returned to me tomorrow. Must be a known fault.

You will get back what you paid for it...

​Are you sure?
ive had the replacement
one for around 3 weeks now is it ok if i ask amazon for a 275 refund?
