I think that is unnecessarily abusive. They clearly do understand the concept of paying less and getting less - they said 90% of spec for 40% of price. You are saying you are happy to pay 100% of the price for 100% of the spec - thats fair enough its your choice and money - you don't need to justify it, or insult people that take a different approach.

Bang & Olufsen wow! That's serious man.
I didn't know you were into music?
I know you're a DJ but I've heard your show.

thanks for posting but I cant find anywhere in the description about the ear phones! did I miss something?

Very nice, love the curved glass on the top

Headphones were £100 not so long ago...

Not exactly cutting edge either, 3yrs old!

Still, £500 for the phone alone isn't bad for an as-yet released flagship! G4 was £600...

Where does it mention the headphones?

Wo That's nice bundle for the price. But I wish to see Lg G5 drop test first.

I found the offer using a laptop not a smartphone, for some reason the promotion doesn't show on the smartphone browser.

Earphones here :

Same kinda offer from an earlier HUKD post here:

Damn this is a really good price.

Jeepers, this is tempting. :man:

I agree, this is the better deal of the two, that's why I used the word 'kinda'. There also there appears to be a silver option from that retailer, although they are currently awaiting confirmation of stock but may appeal to some buyers.

Call me crazy but it could be due to the fact that this phone hasnt been released yet!

Isn't the silver one is exclusive to the carphone warehouse?

Still can't understand how £500 on a PHONE is an 'awesome deal'

Just seems utterly crazy to me when you can buy something 90% as good in spec terms for 40% of the price..

Certainly looks like it. Will be interesting to see if Clove manage to get any stock.

You so cray cray

Where on the product page does it say free headphones?

Headphones, not anymore available.

Totally vanished from the page.

typical! was just about to order it and now its gone!!!!!

expiring.

****. Headphones gone.

love my g4. if money were no object i'd have this though <3.

Love that curve on the glass at the top but would be worried about its longevity should it be dropped.

PS Voted hot as it's the best deal for this phone ATM but like an earlier poster spending 500 smackeroos on a mobile is madness imo. (you could get a 50 inch 4k TV with 6 year warranty and still have 50 quid left over!)

Yes, I expect better of you fishmaster, especially as we're fellow petrolheads with many previously positive exchanges on HUKD. Maybe you got out of bed the wrong side.

I'll put my point another way. I know a lot of people with top end phones - all they do is use it for media, what's app, email and a few other things. I would love a Ferrari, but if I had one and only drove it to the supermarket, you wouldn't need to be too astute to deem it a bit over specced.

Personally, having had a Samsung phone (Note 2), I hate the nasty TocuhWizz overlay. I think it's just awful.

Have a nice weekend fishie.

Looking forward to these hitting Amazon Warehouse

You might think it is crazy to spend £500 on a phone but that DOES NOT mean it is crazy to spend £500 on a phone. Different people have different uses but if you are constantly glued to your phone and replacing it every two years then you are going to get a lot of usage out of it. If you take a lot of photos then there can be a lot of value in getting a phone with a great camera and more generally a flagship phone can provide smoother snappier performance even if you just do a lot of mundane things and give a more pleasant experience. So again if it is a device you use a lot then there can be value in putting money into something that will give you the best user experience.

It's not for me or you to decide as to what is a sensible use of money for someone else when it comes to a phone. Just because you or I don't think something is worth it doesn't mean it wouldn't be worth it to someone else.

£500 even without headphones is still a good price and something I would pay. Just waiting for reviews before I pre-order.

Also it won't be half price in 6 months. Maybe £350 if you are lucky but £250, no chance.

I just want to see how G5 measures up against 6P as both same £500 price at the moment.

And have to admit that the Xiaomi Mi5 does interest me. Average camera yes but it does everything else pretty damn well.

Same price at CPW btw, and their page still lists the earphones.

I called up Amazon and asked about why the offer was pulled and the chap on the phone asked me to place an order for the headphones for £149.99 and he changed the price to zero. Bearing in mind the phone is still on pre-order that is excellent customer service. Headphones will arrive tomorrow!

This person get's it. There is always someone telling someone else how to spend their money. Boggles the mind to be honest.

I'll be passing on this for a few reasons:

Same sensor as the G4 so doubt the camera will match the S7. Still a good sensor though
Not a fan of the look
LG's skin is worse than Touchwiz in my opinion
Most importantly, there aren't any user reviews of this and I never like to be a first buyer of a phone. There is ALWAYS issues with the first batch of phones. whether it's hardware issues or software bugs that need to be ironed out.

Still, this deal is HOT for those that want this.

Crazy. Assuming you know about release dates etc. and embargoes. It is not unusual for reviews to appear before a device is released. Even if it is not a full review, a detailed 'hands-on' often appears.

Some one mentioned they thought I was abusive, I'm sorry if that's how I came across. Even friends disagree at times. I mean nothing by it. I make no excuse for myself except I'm bipolar and drink too much at times :smiley: I was probably in work when I made the comment and maybe the environment wasn't conducive to conducting myself properly. I apologise if I caused any offence. I can understand that £500+ is a lot for a phone, and many people don't use the capacity of it. I liken it to buying a Ferrari and using it to do the school run or shopping, there is a place in this world for £500+ phones and they do have quality/features above the rest of the pack but I agree many people for their workload wouldn't make use of a £500 phone.

Regarding Touchwiz, yes I wish I had stock, as I can do anything with stock ROM, however in defence of Samsung, Touchwiz has been massively slimmed down since the S6, so it's not so much of a burden. The main issue for me with the S6 and S7 is the S6 was Exynos only and the UK S7 is Exynos which means you're at the mercy of Samsung releases new OS updates and they soon give up on a phone. I'd definitely go Nexus or Motorola to get the stock experience but the hardware isn't quite there for me in those phones. I have been sensible and not sold my S6 and bought an S7, my next phone purchase will be in 2017 now. Talking of 2017 I look forward to the demise of Windows Vista, will have a few drinks that day for sure :smiley:

Only interested in 64GB version mate


The way Samsung give up on devices is a joke. Still waiting for my Tab S to get android 6.0.

32Gb is also on offer at £464 until 27 March.

To those that ordered, does it mention the earphones on your receipt?

Same question, one I can think of is nexus 5x probably

I called them and was told this deal never existed and I won't be getting the headphones. Shambles if you ask me.

does anyone have a screenshot of the promotion ?

Good on you mate, for your note, above. Peace to you fishmaster.

Samsung are truly the worst for updates. Have a Samsung tablet that despite being a pro device is still on 4.4 with no sign it will ever be upgraded. I do hear TouchWizz has improved.
