Writing this on a g3 don't recommend it that highly. Quite a lot of lag and prone to overheating and short battery life. Others have had a good experience, but mine hasn't been!

Can vouch for this phone - best one I've ever had.

Have owned it over a year now (albeit the 3GB RAM, 32GB version) and it is very fast, never had a single problem and it looks/feels amazing in the hand - I've had plenty of compliments on the design of the phone (white version).

The tiny bezels (still one of the smallest bezels on the market) really make the stunning quad HD display stand out. SD card slot and removable battery is very handy - even with the 32GB version I added another 32GB memory card for all my music, and I've replaced the battery with a fresh one a few months ago (costs around a tenner for a genuine LG one if I recall) and its very handy to be able to switch out the battery on the fly.

A few small yet highly effective features which I'll miss if I move phones, are the tap to wake function and power/volume on the back.
Tap to wake is so useful, just two quick taps on the screen wakes it up onto the lock screen, which you really take for granted when you use it so often to just quickly and effortlessly check your phone without picking it up (e.g. on a table). Double tap to turn the screen off too. I always end up double tapping my Blackberry work phone, which annoyingly doesn't work - you really appreciate it when you use a phone without the feature.
Volume/power on the back takes getting used to, but it becomes very natural. When you hold your phone your finger is usually at the back, so it's a natural place to put the power button - you don't have to adjust your fingers or holding position to turn the phone on and off. Same for volume.

Performance is fantastic as you'd expect, pretty much every game plays well aside from a few very demanding games released this year. Admittedly the phone was finally beginning to lag a bit in some apps, but after updating to Android 6.0 last week it's blisteringly fast again, like new! Phone is pretty light too.
Although as a note, I have the 3GB RAM version from Germany which will be able to handle multi-tasking better. The UK only got the 2GB version, but I don't think performance will be too noticeable.

To address some concerns:
Overheating - I've never had issues, even on a hot day. On a hot day, putting the screen brightness to 80%ish would produce a warning about overheating and restrict you from increasing it further - but I've never had the need to increase brightness that high anyway.

Battery - It did deteriorate to below a day under normal use earlier this year, but again I replaced it with a new battery and it easily lasted a day. After updating to Android 6.0, I've noticed an even stronger performance in battery life - lasts more than a day and a half of normal use now. Pretty good for a year-old phone with a quad HD display, but again you can always buy a spare battery or portable charger for those heavy users.

All in all - HIGHLY impressed with LG on this phone, which reviews will show you. Would recommend it to anyone and at £150 its an absolute steal - wipes the floor with anything you can get on the market today below £300 (bar the G4)

Look here old chap - isn't the LG G3 expandable to 128GB? Hmmmm? HMMMMMMMMM?

Hot a good deal!

tempted to get rid of my gs6 and try this

Hot (the phone that is, the G3's are prone to overheating).

​after having both Samsung's and lg's then that's a good move

I'm guessing this is 16GB version?

tempting but going to buy another moto x play instead - battery life is great. Yes, little bit chunkier, but that's why the battery is better!

G3 is a nice phone but I much prefer Samsung. Currently have a Note 4 and will be getting either an S6 Edge Plus or the S7 Edge/Plus.

Can I get a shout out for the Oukitel K6000? I am bang in the market for a new personal phone.

S6 supports Vulkan.

I got one of these a few days ago and I seriously recommend it for those wanting higher end specs at a lower price! There was lag on version 5 but after updating through LG's awful LG PC Suite to version 6 it runs super smoothly!

Ahhh ... didn't know that. Cheers.
That must be the Marshmallow update ...

there is many versions of this phone...
Is it 2gb ram and 16gb storage? or 3gb ram and 32gb other?

Yes. Version 6+ supports it.

The RAM isn't though :P

True, aye, true

My Nexus 9 Android N Preview doesn't support it ... :disappointed:

SG6 any day.. excellent camera n display. Battery is a set back but has quick charging facility so won't be an issue.

Bargain! Great phone. I have recently manually updated it to the official Android 6.0 Marshmallow. You can also easily hack it to use your SD card as internal storage.

i have a 2 year old nexus 5 should i keep it or would a lg g3 be a good replacement.

gold one is now out of stock only black left.

Easily unlock able?

Well then it shouldn't have been compared in first place. Both are diff category

how to get away with mandatory min £10 bundle top up?

Yeah, it's only 400% dearer

I like my gs6 if only the battery didn't need charging twice daily. and that's with battery saver on, Bluetooth off and a 10hr work day where I'm not using it.. faulty? or just $hite

Thanks, ordered for my wife to replace her faulty Galaxy Note 2. :-)

​I upgraded from g3 to gs6

super like

does vodafone sim locks their phones?

Any links to where you can get this done?

OOS :disappointed:

£2.59

don't bother. me and the wife had one each. they become so slow and unusable. both prone to crashing and restarting all the time. one had the blue screen of death and the other just bad it's battery fail

​had both phones. don't replace it with a g3. you will regret it eventually. the bloatware ruins it

​no keep your Nexus I've tried a few of the newer phones but gone back to Nexus. nothing much has changed in the last two years. when I do finally change I will get expandable memory and removable battery, that's the only things that let the Nexus 5 down.

If you are going for an LG, try and spend a bit more and get the LG4, far better than the LG3, i have the tan leather version and i love it.

Not worth IMHO
2 years ago, similar spec LG G2 was available for £150 from Vodafone.
The G3 is only worth considering if the 3GB/32GB is available at this price.

Worth paying the extra for the g4

Out of stock

not bad but im waiting for the LG G3 Dual-LTE to come down :smiley:

I've got one and love it. Think it's frozen mid call once in 6 months and never had lag issues etc. Can pick up refurbs off eBay for 100£

expired, out of stock now.

This is probably the best value phone under £150. My wife has this and loves it. I had the G2 and G4 both of which were excellent. If you can stretch to the G4 then you get a lighter phone with a better camera and smoother experience. The issues people mention are really non-issues on the whole. No phone is perfect and bang for pound this is great. With the G2 my issues were battery life (2yrs in) and of the 16GB storage only 8GB was user accessible. That was enough to hold some music and photos. The G3 and be upgraded with a 128GB memory card for £25 and battery life is now a non-issue with a spare costing £5-10. We always carry a spare around. At the end of a working day when everyone else's phones are running dry and the journey home means you have enough juice to only listen to music, we can just slip in a fully charged battery and we're back up to 100% power. Its a life saving feature and great for when on holidays. Ironically replaceable batteries and memory cards are found easily in the cheap phones but rarely in flagships. The G3 has a great camera and build quality being a former flagship. Id say all the essential problems are easily solvable on the G3 and the little niggles are livable with. For £150 if you manage your expectations you cant go wrong. Personally I'd stretch to the G4 if you can find it cheap and need a spectacular camera. I dont see any reason to ever upgrade my G4 unless it breaks. For me its as close to a perfect phone as I could want and the G3 is not that far off the mark either.

Battery life is a lot better on g4

​have not found this to be the case since the g3 marshmallow update.

Hi,

I have ordered this last Sunday, but still has not received mine. And the tracking number sent to me is invalid. anyone with the same issue?

The Oppo Find 7s seem similar. Were they a better deal all round (apart from camera & android 4.3)?

It has QHD screen, SD 801, 3gb/32gb (ram/rom), 3000mah battery (replaceable), fast charger included, unlocked - was £106 delivered from manufacturer site.

but where can you get that for £106 now?

This guy gets it

The G4 is a beast with CM13 by code works

This phone has issues but I bought one for my dad last year and it's been a champ (for £200). Even today, at £150 it's quite good unless you're willing to get some lesser known Chinese brand.

I had a G3 for about a year and it was accidentally broken in September by a friend. Could not repair so I decided to add an extra £80 or £100 and get a G4 and that's when I noticed everything that people were moaning about on the G3 ... lag, battery life literally appalling compared to the G4, screen cannot be seen in the sunlight but the G4 hasn't the same problems. I'd add a bit of money and get the G4 over the G3. I thought the G3 was the best phone I ever owned until I bought a G4.

All sorted now with marshmallow and to be honest i never experienced any of them complaints but then again i have the 32gb version and on the screen brightness, no problem in direct sunlight with mine.

Worth every penny at this price.

So both the G3 and the Sony Z3 compact are £149 on Vodafone at the minute. Which one out of the two is better?

Sony Z3 as its in stock lol but they are two totally different phones so pretty much comes down to pocketability, big or small take your choices.

You can't at this moment and that's why I use the past tense but still recent. You're more likely to get similar deals from chinese phones as oppose to LG, Samsung, Sony as you pay a premium for their name. Look for Huawei, Oneplus and Xiaomi.

I agree. Worth every penny at this price and I would still be using my G3 now had it not been dropped and the internals damaged beyond repair. Glad that the update has sorted the battery life out. I had a spare battery and charger to deal with that anyway. The G3 came in for a lot of criticism but it was the deals for the G3 that generated 100's of comments on this site. Plenty of haters but many more positive.

This seems to be out of stock.

black is back in stock online again!

Yes..black is in stock..just ordered.

Still out of stock I've been checking since yesterday!

That does look a great phone...I'm going to look into Ulefone, thanks for that !

There's a good review of it on YouTube by a guy who goes by 'S7yler'.

I use Kimovil.com to compare, set the highest price, hide devices with no price. 2GB/32GB RAM/ROM minimum, 30,000 Antutu score.

K6000 Pro is only £106ish on Tomtop at the moment.

Has anyone got their phone delivered yet? Its been one week now since my order and its not progressed at all.
