G5 never went down that fast and the reason for the price drop was the design.
This year LG G6 is a whole new story. It is beautifully designed, praised by all reviews and upped the company's profits since the launch.

G6 is a beautiful phone and at this price its a steal compared to the overpriced S8.

HOT.

And the guy who said rather flush his money down the toilet, I am waiting to find out which phone you use :wink:

LG overhyped and under delivered big time on this product... I know they were not allowed to have the snapdragon 835 ... but still ... struggling to see how this is any better than the g5...

also for a manufacturer who makes flagship phones with common flaws.. this phone is expensive.

this is coming from someone who has bought everyone of thier flagship phones.. except this one

All Three phones are sold unlocked.

LG phones are poor in every way. They don't sell and the price drops very quickly. Buying it is a waste of money.

The LG G4 is an appalling camera. My G4 is useless so much so LG have replaced it and the motherboard and yet the phone still can't take a decent photo without stalling, overheating the phone or just shutting down completely. Getting a good G4 should not be a lottery and that is what it is with LG. You never know if you are going to get one of the good ones or one of the bad ones. I would not risk buying another LG phone.

Expired?? lol it was never really a deal, just a mistake by a few select stores, or trolls?? lol

I hate region specific features. No wireless charging (US ONLY), no Quad DAC (South Korea Only).

I can confirm I bought a G6 for £479 at the Three Store in Milton Keynes yesterday, it's an awesome phone and definitely an upgrade from my G5.

I had same issue with my G3. It was 18 months old. According to my LG account & the registration details on there for my G3 it said 12 months warranty. I contacted LG to enquire about the cost of a new board. They told me my G3 was on 2 year warranty and that they would fix it for free. I wasn't going to argue. I had to drop it off at one of the pick up points. Plenty about. it was back in just over a week. As good as new. I then sold it for £140 on Gums. I then bought a G5. But that's another story!

My G4 developed the bootloop about 8 months into it's life and was covered under the LG warranty so I just went on the site (I had already registered the phone) and I got it back within a week and have had no further problems. Frankly I think it would be out of order if they didn't repair it free of charge. It's not like you've broken it yourself and they are well aware of the problem. If they won't repair it because the 12 months has expired or it is a non-EU model then they will recommend their official out of warranty repair centre which means they will charge for the repair but I would push this one. OK, it might be out of warranty but the problem is common.

they didn't swap out my dead g3 saying it was modified ( it wasn't). my g4 had a bootloop which was fixed, but was without a phone for 3 weeks.
my g5 has a common GPS issue, however it would be difficult to be without a phone for 3 weeks , so I am looking for a replacement which will substitute for 3 weeks whilst I await the repairs.

I was going to get this but after the G4 boot loop I decided on the Mate 9.

Was definitely £629 on Friday, perhaps some stores have gone early on a promotion that was meant to start on Mon or Tues. Certainly a price I'll take to upgrade from my ageing G2.

And don't forget LG phones (G4s for sure) bought in the UK have 2 years warranty.

sorry no, it was about 8 months ago. Hope you get sorted.

Hmm no I did not try phoning, I went to the LG site and it said they wouldn't repair it (just looking at the page, not actually speaking to anyone)

I will give them a ring - thanks!

(ps, do you happen to still have the number you called?)

after the bootloop issue of lg G3 and G4 and the horrid design of G5..... I simply am not convinced with this new phone. Best wait a while before taking a plunge.

I liked my LG G4 but it has just had the dreaded bootloop. Seemingly no way to get if fixed (bought 13 months ago).

Very wary to get another LG...

I'd say it was defo a mistake...£500 saved here too! lol

Wouldn't honour it in Chester

He showed me the PAYG price on the system. It was 629 for the G6.

My LG G2 was excellent but it seems like LG went in the wrong direction after that.

It isntt a mistake.

It is... but it has just saved me nearly 500 quid, so.... :smiley:

Taunton store confirmed this was a mistake and the G6 was showing up at the G5 price, which has since been corrected.

Lucky if you managed to grab one, but seems the game is up!

Mucho Gracias

Is the P2 dual dual sim and have 4 or 3gb ram?

will be 250 by black friday as always

ohh so lame no notification led, anyway really hot thanks for sharing

Thanks

Went into local store and it would be £629 + £10 top up if they had any. They don't have it as they're a small store! I asked about other stores and they said it would be the same price at any store. They also pointed out that it's the G5 at £490. So can only guess the stores showing it cheaper have messed up. If I weren't a 300 mile + return drive from Manchester ide be there and getting one at that price, but i'm sceptical anyway.

Definitely £479.99 at Manchester fort store.

checked both stores in Manchester and both showed £629

How does the P2 compare to the G4?

I just rang my local 3 store (in Hull) and was quoted a price of £629 on PAYG. Also told that they don't yet have authorisation to sell the stock they have on PAYG. Contract sales apparently take precedence.

Same here Bangor store quoting 629

For info my experience with LG is this. I had the G3, which was a great phone, the camera was miles ahead of anything ide had before. I think the quality of the photos could definitely be regarded as better than that of my G5. Which also has a great camera (love the wide angle lens too) Very quick phone. But with the G3 it kept looping after 18 months, but as it had a 2 year warranty LG did fix it like new. I then sold it on Gums for £140. I had paid £240 for it with cashback. So it cost me £100 for 18 months. Beats a contract all day long. Now on my 2nd G5 as first had a very small warp to the one bottom corner. Only noticeable out of the case. I had it exchanged but un be known to me they replaced it with the G5 SE! Long story. I'm actually in the middle of a dispute on this. They want to offer me a small discount even though they've admitted they duped me albeit they say in error. I'm after a full refund as they no longer stock the G5 only the G5 SE. At the time of exchange they said they did still offer the G5. So all in all I have mixed feelings about LG smartphones. But what I will say is the camera's are great. If you get a good one then they're a bargain compared to Samsung etc. I think a 2 year warranty is a must though. It is a hassle if you do have to send for repair. You'll be without ya phone for over a week. So if you want a top end LG phone you prob want to also have a spare cheaper smart phone. One of the old Moto Gs maybe. If & when I get a refund for my G5 i'm not sure I'll fork out for another one? I would be tempted by this offer but its still nearly £500. Might go for the Moto G4 for now. And wait for this to drop later in the year maybe.

The g6 and google pixel outperformed the s8 and iPhone 7 in a recent photo shootout, the picture quality of the g6 were amazing and very high quality.

Yes it does not have the snapdragon 835 but would you really want to splash out a extra 200 300 quid for the sake of the processor to being a 835?

If this price is right, it's an astonishingly good price for the G6 which is a current generation flagship phone.

Granted, it's an 821 not 835 Snapdragon, but so far there's been no real-world difference noticeable between the two. The crippling issue of poor battery life with the G5 seems to have been rectified too.

The major advantage over something like a P2 (I know, different categories of phone altogether, but someone else has drawn a similarity) is the camera, which is excellent. See The Verge's camera shootout article which gives a good comparison between this generation's top cameras.

All in, for this money, it's incredible if you can get one. It's also somewhat damning that you can get one this cheap so soon after launch :confused:

Thanks OP - have been resisting, but might have to bite at this price, even though it will almost certainly cost me money in the long run :/

The camera on the P2 is adequate, but its nowhere near as good as the cam on the LG G4. Don't go for the P2 if a camera is high on your list of requirements. It's a nice phone otherwise though.

Thanks op will be getting if unlocked big fan of lg

I agree. No matter how good they are, they depreciate like you wouldn't believe. G5 was down to under £300 within 2-3 months of launch and used even cheaper. G6 does look and feel amazing though...

Every way?

As for me i wanted that Quad Dac/Korean Version of the LG G6. v20 is around £400 if you trust fleabay.

I would disagree. LG phones are pretty damn good, just unfortunate that they don't hold their value at all. Best to buy used, so the "hit" is less when it comes to selling it.

Care to elaborate? As in the toilet comment.

V20 is around £360 on ebay.

Might aswell flush £490 down the toilet.

??

it's not available online it seems

All Three phones are sold unlocked.

Is the lenovo p2 unlocked from 3 does that mean my EE sim card would work straight away tempted to get one birthday coming up.

Well the G5 is this price on the website. You sure it wasn't the G5 OP?

If true then super hot, but think OP might have gotten mixed up with G5. I hope to be proven wrong!

As for the G6, it's a solid phone, LG just dropped the ball by thinking they could pricematch the S8. Slower CPU, less storage, no wireless charging on the UK model and no edge display. Methinks in a few months it'll be heavily discounted (and at around £500 it would be a good deal)

LG overhyped and under delivered big time on this product... I know they were not allowed to have the snapdragon 835 ... but still ... struggling to see how this is any better than the g5...

also for a manufacturer who makes flagship phones with common flaws.. this phone is expensive.

Can't find this offer on the page that the GET DEAL link links too? Only the LG G5 at same price?

You made the right with the P2. No more being a slave to the charging point and unless you play benchmark bingo you'll see no performance issues
