Received mine today. Definitely a decent phone for the money. It is a bit thick, but looks smart and the screen is vibrant enough. Everything works, no lag at all and I was pleasantly surprised how much value there is here for 30 quid.
Used eBay seller fonecarecodes for the unlock code, delivered within an hour and worked first time. Tried several different SIM cards and they all work fine. Make sure you type *#06# on the phone keypad to obtain the IMEI no. The IMEI on the plain outer box from O2 was different! To enter the unlock menu, type 2945#*340# on the keypad, select option one, and enter the unlock code. Might as well try this menu before ordering the code as it tells you how many attempts you have left on the phone to enter. You have ten in total and if all are exhausted, your phone is hard locked. Mine had all 10 attempts left.
Overall very happy for the price.
Update - forgot to add, there was a 770MB update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow waiting when connected to my wifi. It also accepted a 64GB microSD card without any issues. Happy days!

Yes mate you can move compatible apps to the sd card.

can you move apps to SD? I keep asking before I hit buy but no one's responded (this website and another)
May be someone here, can confirm which seller they used?

Picked mine up today. Great little phone and super responsive. After uninstalling pre loaded apps and installing whatsapp and updated the o2 priority app had only 2.5gb left, so an SD card is deffo required.
Anyone got any links on how to obtain unlock code, o2 charge £15.

This is how to unlock once you have bought the code from ebay if anyone is struggling - I spent half a day looking online! hope it helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6MFbGAkvfI

Thanks OP. Next time, when I hear or see Clash of Titan.. the only thing will spring into my head that why now its called Clash of Colors..
raj75
28 Oct 16#69
I think Titan denotes the color of Phone.
rearden4444
28 Oct 16#68
you are right mate. its H340N there. However the packaging box and a paper in it does refer model name as Titan.
raj75
28 Oct 16#67
Are you sure it is Titan Model?
If you check beneath the Battery you can see the right model.
Or check here -> Settings - About Phone - Hardware Info - Model Number
rearden4444
28 Oct 16#66
Mine one arrived today. Its looks alirght for the money. Its model name is Titan Grade A, but in the link here its say H340N Grade A. ? Is it alright or incorrect model sent to me? any suggestion please.

Can you tell us what is LG K4 model number you got?.. Just wanted to know what Specs K4 has got?. Searching in Internet only shows missing information or misleading information .
I got the K4 and ordered an Idol 3. Anyone know if the Idol 3 has a cheap unlock available?

Idol3 is definitely better and it is back instock.
damcnaught
27 Oct 161#55
Thanks - I think you're right - Phone Arena is where I was getting the specs from, and I think they're incorrect if LG's website says 1gb (Phone Arena may be referring to a USA specific model with 1.5gb RAM?).
Edit: deleted specs that were incorrect - the K4 does have 1gb RAM.

how do I order without the £10 top up
raj75
26 Oct 16#49
K4 and Leon both have same 1GB RAM. Leon has got NFC and K4 doesn't I think. Otherwise both Leon and K4 are very similar.

I'm typing this on an LG Leon I ordered on Sunday after seeing this deal - superb value for a spare phone or someone who wants a small phone & doesn't use demanding apps.
Battery life is good (50% by end of a day's moderate use).
Not sure if the K4 is a better deal due to extra RAM, which may help when browsing with chrome or using more demanding apps, though slower processor may be an issue.

26 Oct 16#47
thanks! ordered cheaper one. it will be perfect for checking coverage and as a spare phone!
However, the best 'as new' PAYG on O2 at the same price point is definitely the Alcatel Idol3 - with its 720p screen, 13MP camera and importantly, 1.5GB RAM. Currently out of stock but I'd keep an eye out for this to come back in stock.

Thanks for this. It being 4.4 vs 6 on android puts me off a bit... and I have already bought the £29.99 one :-)

max size sd card = 32gb should be enough for most people. Shame it won't take 64 though.

Pretty much every device understates how large a card it'll take. Worth trying it with a larger card.
