This retailer is amazing, I have bought several items absolutely no issues, great retailer.

Literally 90% of the people who are always like 'ooh dodgy ooh chinese ooh not EU'

have never even bought an import good in their life.

£200 cheaper than the Amazon and £300 less than CPW immediately makes Eglobalcentral seem a bit dodgy.

Shipped from HK warehouse with false customs declaration to avoid VAT and duty.

LG G6 over time
£419.99 = cold (-132)
£393.99 = hot (440)
£392.84 - hot (397)
£365.68 = cold (-92)
£344.34 = cold (-26)
£335.61 = hot (427)

Is it going to get cold again next price drop?

Yeah blue is a brand new colour released same time as the G6+, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if that takes longer than Black/White/Platinum. Pretty cool though, you'll be one of the first people to own a Blue G6.

BTW my black one has arrived :smiley:

Ordered a black one on the 26th June and it was delivered today. So that was within 7 working days. The box came with the seal broken and a screen protector applied. Everything in the box was unopened. Inside there was instructions, sim pin, headphones, LG branded screen cloth and the Asian pin charger. A 3 pin adapter was included in the package outside the box. A delivery notice was obtained on the 29th June from DPD but this did not become live until the 3rd July and it was delivered on the 4th July. Phone is great and working well. Hope this info helps someone.

As above, I ordered the black version back on 24th June. No charge on my credit card has shown up and still says processing on their website. Opened a ticket yesterday and still haven't received a response. Will give it a couple more days and then may just have to accept that I might never receive it.

worryingly I still haven't received mine..additionally the charge on my credit card (which was pending last week) has now disappeared completely.

I did order the Blue version so maybe they don't actually have stock yet... Have opened a ticket. Lets see how good their support is lol.

Yeah, mine was the same and now out for delivery today

Got the tracking info on Friday, link started working Monday afternoon, due to be delivered Tuesday!

So yeah, don't panic if tracking doesn't work for a few days, this is normal.

Here's hoping mate. I'm sure they'll be with us this week.

I ordered black as well and placed my order on Saturday night. Not particularly worried (yet) but was just curious to see if anyone else was in a similar position. Hopefully will receive it this week, fingers crossed!

mine's the same. Placed the order on the 26th, the charge on my cc showed up on Friday. It's normal, typically takes them around 7-10 working days to get the phone to us. It seems the shipping tracking only shows up when the phone gets to the UK where it gets shipped by DPD.

Am hoping to have it delivered mid-worst case late next week

I ordered the black one on Sunday and it was despatched on Thursday. Maybe the delay on yours is because of the colour variant?

I placed my order last week and it still says 'processing' on their website. Has anyone else had any similar issues?

same with mine is also at manchester but since yesterday. I think it will probably get delivered by tuesday

It came unsealed. Most handsets sold in Asia don't come with the ridiculous "warranty void if seal broken" stickers plastered over the box like what we get here. Everything new and wrapped/sealed inside though.

Cheers Sionyboy,
I have the tracking number but it has been in Manchester since the 29th. I'm not panicking just wondering if it'll turn up today. Was your box unsealed?

Yes, but be aware that you won't get tracking number for 2-3 working days after you first get notified by DPD. EGlobal pre-register delivery details in readiness for the phones arrival into the country, then tracking number and live tracking will start to update.

Did the DPD tracking work for anyone? Also did anyone get theirs delivered on a Saturday?

I swapped mine with a friend's S8 he wanted the Hifi DAC, worked out for both us very well. s8 for £335 not bad :smile:

I bought one from these guys. No problems with the phone, better spec than the U.K. version, arrived in 7 days and not VAT or duty to pay. Use a credit card and you have Section 75 protection.

Only affects it when it's light, it doesn't apply to when it's dark. I've installed NoLed, there's another app called dynamicnotifications but it over complicates it and I couldn't get it to work without adding another 2 layers of swiping.

That's pretty low, have you got brightness on 100% or are you busy setting up/installing lots of apps?

Battery has been a bit mixed for me so far:

Day 1 I had 18hrs of use, 5hr SOT before I had to recharge.
Day 2 was pretty poor, had to plug in and recharge after 12hrs use, 2.5hrs SOT.
Day 3 was better, I deactivated 4G mode as I live and work in pretty poor 4g reception areas, got 18hrs of use, 3hrs SOT and still had about 30% left.

This is all on wifi at home, mobile data at work, BT/NFC/Location/Google Now all on and Gmail/Whatsapp syncing. Auto brightness. Always on display on.

I noticed this too. However, there is a brightness option in settings (which i haven't tried yet); but, of course that will hit the battery.

SO the Ping V20 is lovely. box had been open but the phone is new. set up is easy with the LG app to transfer data.
1 system update 820 MB. 1 for the LTE 2 update for the system.

arrived fast , new , lovely price, happy days, thx OP

1 hour it used 20% battery which is quide depressing as my LG G5 had a better battery life than this :disappointed:

Not impressed with the always on display. When I have the light on it's fine but when it's late/dark, the light is off and my phone has gone to do not disturb it's goes so dim it's unusable of course this is right at the time it's going to be most needed. Very frustrating.

took the plunge and ordered the blue version. purchased using CC so protection there. phone will be insured via bank anyway so no issue there either.. ordered yesterday so I'm expecting it to arrive mid next week...

ordered on 21st and delivered today so that makes 6 days not bad

mine got delivered today cant wait to go home and play with my new toy ☺☺

so for me DPD delivering today

update: delivered, once home from work will check it and post update :smiley:

No help whatsoever from LG and eglobalcentral unfortunately :disappointed: I'm tired of their automated responses. What I can't accept is that LG acts as if this piece of sh** didn't come off their factories.

The problem is my brother got G4 too after me, which bootlooped about the same time as mine did. What a huge huge mistake :disappointed:

Never ever LG again, I don't care about the specs and prices of their products. They are dead to me :smile:

I raised ticket because DPD sent me "we have your parcel, it's in Feltham, we're delivering your parcel on Wednesday". on the Wednesday DPD wrote "we never received your parcel so it's going to be delayed". When it appeared again in their system a week later (after I tried to contact EGC), it was in Birmingham. Then DPD logged it three times as arriving in Peterborough.
Not knowing wtf was happening, I tried contacting both DPD and EGC.

I use Amex essentials to insure my family's..
Phones, laptops, tablets,cameras, jewellery
Is very good value for what you can cover.

It was beautiful and worked great, but I'm forever chucking my phone in bike bags or in the back pocket of cycling jerseys. In the time I've been waiting I'd pretty much decided to downgrade and use something I wouldn't mind too much if I killed it. An £80 s/h S5 is coming on Wednesday.

Don't let me put you off, this is a gorgeous phone.

What didn't you like about it?

Mine arrived tonight and after a quick play I decided it wasn't for me and I've sold it on eBay already.

Yep, DPD has just updated for me too, and i'm getting my (platinum) version tomorrow it seems! Ordered last Tuesday.

Might be worth another try of the DPD as mine is making its way to my local depot now.

I went for uninsured, it arrived.
They are all sent via DPD, not sure what paying the extra gives you.... possibly covers the trip between HK to UK?

Arghhh...no notification light. Honestly how daft. I missed in on the moto z so sold that and I didn't think LG would be that stupid. I know the display is nice but it drains battery and isn't as visible from a distance. Grrrr....

Patience is a virtue that many do not have, it seems.

it takes 1 to 2 working days for the tracking to be active it is in the email received from them. patience :smiley:

Is everyone going with insured or uninsured delivery. Also if it doesn't show up with the uninsured delivery am I'm screwed?

Look at all the people asking where there stuff is.. must be hundreds! that's what makes it a con.. and they told me DPD had my phone to deliver to me .. I contacted DPD and they said they haven't got it .. that's what makes it a con!

I got the same message.. but when I got in touch with DPD they told me that they didn't have the item from the supplier

I have a tracking number and it doesn't mean anything .. contacted the delivery company and they told me that they don't even have to item to deliver to me.. it should have been coming today !

Tracking number still not updated, received it on Friday early morning. Hopefully will be tomorrow!!

Day 1 I had 18hrs off charge, with 5hrs of SOT. Heavy usage day as I was busy setting up, installing apps etc...
At the moment I'm at 83%, that's 5hrs off charge and 44mins of SOT. (that's with everything syncing, always on display, WIFI/BT/NFC on etc...) There is a power saving mode which downclocks CPU, but haven't felt a need to activate it yet.

So far I'm happy, not ecstatic, but I'm only on Day 3. I'm coming from a phone where I was lucky to get to 3hrs of SOT, so it's all good.

And yeah, I agree on the lack of notification light, although the Always on Display is more than making up for it.

Although the lack of a scheduler on the Comfort View/Blue Light Filter mode is pretty annoying, I hope LG address that in an update.

that was a bad call for LG to skip the notification light, i have ordered a spigen case however i am not sure it'll fitin with the white phone.

how long does the battery last for you? heard some bad reviews

i got my tracking number this morning, dpd says they have my parcel (dated 23rd june) however thats it, how long it took you to receive your phone after getting the tracking number?

No notification light, I just use Always on Display. Barely hits the battery.

I've got a case for emergencies I got off amazon, just some cheapy magnetic flip case. But I don't use one in day-to-day usage.

I would like a vinyl wrap/skin for the rear of the phone. Glass backs look nice, but they slip n' slide all over the place.

looks nice does it have a notification light?
also have you ordered any case for this beauty.

The G6 that arrived on Friday and is now sat on my desk doesn't look like a con. confused

Granted, took 10 working days to deliver, not the stated 6-8.... but I can live with that.

How does looking at their website prove anything?
This deal is 5 days old and delivery takes 6-8 days, maybe some patience is required?

It's a con.. ordered and never received the phone.. look at there website.. They never answer any queries

got a tracking number from dpd i wonder how long it'll take then to deliver as there is no info on dpd website. dpd collected the package on 23rd i hope they deliver it today..

Sorry, that was a poorly typed post.
I meant the LG G6 is obviously easier to hold, but the G6 aspect ratio isn't as good for web pages and text (but better for movies).
The G6 and the V20 have the same diagonal screen size, but there is more screen area on the V20.

I like the form factor and waterproofing of the G6, but I prefer the metal back and removable battery of the V20

Standard LG branded headphones

nice. did you get the standard headphones or B&O ones?

Guessing mine will be tomorrow or Monday then.

Phone is here. All looks OK. Box wasn't sealed but everything inside looks brand new (maybe they test it works before sending out?) currently downloading software update.

Roll on 7pm when baby is in bed, wife is at the gym and I can play with my new toy!

how bad are the black screen corners on white G6?

And 64gb compared to 32gb model we got here.

We really did get stung compared to US/Asian markets.

You realise this is for the 64Gb, dual-SIM & quad-DAC model?

But, where can one buy a brand new LG G6 32Gb model (half the internal storage) from a UK retailer/source even without dual-SIM & quad-DAC for under £500 please?

Mine has finally arrived, all looks good!

I placed the order on the 12th of June, got a dispatch email on 19th, the tracking code started to work on 22nd. So takes around 10 days in total, probably a week if they dispatch quicker.

It is a pity that the price dropped £30 while I was waiting...

Ah that means ill get mine somewhere in July :/
did you order the white one, do let us know your thoughts once you receive it

i bought a spigen thin fit cover in black. very thin profile and more grip on the back. was less than £10 from ebay

11th June. So 10 working days until delivery.

Annoyingly price has dropped £20 in that time..... Ah well.

good news when did you place your order?

My phone is out for delivery, sadly eta is between 3.20-4.20pm

The wait continues..... #impatience

thanks thats good to know i saw a review where it says it comes with some Korean apps which one cant delete.

any case you would recommand i am after something light which doesnt make it bulky and offer some protection.

its virtually stock android. nothing like samsung phones for bloatware

I bought my LG G4 from them also, but it boot-looped 12 days outside of the warranty -they refused to help me :disappointed:

So "12 to 24 months" warranty means 12 months.

if you purchase it via a credit card you get 6 years protection via section 75 trust me they will have to comply trending which bank your card is with.

thanks does it come with any bloatware, if you can do a video on the software that would be great

ok let's see how eglobel do this time

you have no manufacturer warranty with this and their service is terrible.

Whoop, DPD have got my package and it's on its way to me.

tried gps on googlemaps in the canary wharf area and navigation seems to work fine. a lot faster than the samsung s4 this phone has replaced!

yup get 4g no problem!

also could you please confirm hows GPS like on this device? thanks

In your review you said you use tesco mobile which uses O2 could you confirm if you get 4G/LTE on this phone?

Omg dude, exact same problem! See here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-g6-h870ds-64gb-dual-sim-sim-free-unlocked-black-eglobalcentral-2722440?p=31251976

Have you or any one with a G4 from these guys managed to get a repaired G4 from LG?

i placed the order wednesday night. my comment above refers to when i received the tracking number from eglobal

In the video you say you placed the order on a Wednesday (not Friday), so that would be seven days.

that doesnt work atm as you can't stack codes.

thanks for this info. I have a G4 from amazon UK. i had boot loop issues and they collected and returned by courier within a week. now knowing i can't do this with grey import, i'll be giving this a miss. pity.

dont forgot use this code JBSK65 knock out £6.5 so you can go for insured delivery :smiley:

Thanks, was hoping it would be here before the weekend, perhaps I shouldn't get my hopes up :disappointed:

Woke up in the morning and ordered V20 :smiley:

in between there was no communication which freaked me out a little but hold out. dont forget it will take a few days to come over from hong kong to the manc depot where it will clear customs and pay and charges...then pass onto dpd

*wed

that tracking wont activate till it arrives in the UK. it took 5 days fri-tue delivered on wes

How long did it take for you to receive the phone? I've had notification its been shipped and have a DPD tracking no, but nothing appearing yet.

unboxing of my lg g6 which i received from eglobal last week (when the phone was £370 before promo codes). note there was no seal but phone was brand new with stickers in the back. this was my first order from them.

lg g4 bootloop issue has put me off lg for life

I'm torn between this and the OP5, I ordered the OP5 already but considering returning it and going for this instead. It seems like a lot more phone overall and much cheaper too. Big concern over the company and warranty, although OnePlus don't exactly have a great reputation there either. I feel as though OnePlus got a little too bold this year with the OP5 price versus its lack of features and their decision not to support the OP2 which really isn't that old was a shocking one and gives great concern over the longevity of the OP5.

EGC probably value each item delivered to its distributor at under £15 so no VAT applies. I am not familiar with excise law but as EGC is based in HK and has no legal presence in UK I suspect the only recourse open to HMRC would be to seize goods.

They just redirect in UK, so customer is not the one asked to pay VAT, if parcel is stopped on border.

I've got a Platinum one coming I bought at the £355 price point. 8 days later it's £325 for the Black. Suppose I'm still getting a lot of phone for the money. CEX trade in prices are dropping too otherwise I'd have ordered a black as well.

Sijovazni, I answered you earlier that it works but you need the app of your provider. This does not have the built in option shown on your video.

So the price includes VAT then if it's come from a UK warehouse? Strange that they aren't charging VAT when you buy it then! If they are fulfilling orders from the UK then by law they need to be charging UK VAT on the sale.

ordered one just now, thank u for sharing, will do review after it comes.

THX OP gone for the v20 pink ( hmm as a man interesting choice :smiley: sick of boring black and dark coloured mobiles )in the end. looking forward to it :smiley: cheers

I have this phone but I'm on Vodafone so cant test wi-fi calling feature. :disappointed:

Anyone got the same phone LG G6 H870DS, just wanted to know wi-fi call feature work with the phone as I have signal issues.

https://youtu.be/gvB2TZvo7jU

Thanks in advance

Very good. Video recording is top notch, check pocketnow on YouTube. Juan there was able to change camera to this phone for his 4k videos without anyone noticing. Ohh and the mics are incredible. Wide angle camera is great fun but a little low res compared to the g6. Only 8mp for wide angle. For photos it's great, but you really need to fiddle with manual mode for it to shine. Auto mode isn't the strongest compared to its rivals (pixel, iPhone and s7)

Hope this helps.

I've just got a V20 and I'm very impressed, coming from a Lg g4 the battery is far better, getting through the day with 40% left at dinner time. The dual sim and removable battery made me go for the V20 over the Lg g6.

I think companies sadly take this stance because of the quick cycle of new phone releases these days. They expect and even encourage you to move on to the next model rather than deal with existing issues. It literally took exploding phones for someone like Samsung to do something about it so LG aren't going to budge on what they deem as small issues!

Worth paying £150 more to avoid dealing with these numpties.

Eglobalcentral are a safe company to buy from. Ive ordered them a few times and never had a problem. They accept Paypal so your covered there too.

And they did everything to avoid honouring that warranty. Wouldn't repair mine because it had a hairline crack at the edge of the camera glass. Apparently that invalidates the warranty... cowboys.

LG has cultured quite a reputation for stuffing the customer.

I have a G4, a model which has a known design defect. But what really annoyed me even more than the knowledge that my expensive phone might brick itself (and take my data with it) was that they were still selling them even after this came to light, along with the attitude that if the defect manifests out of warranty, enjoy your paperweight.

As said before, phone is sent to customer from UK address, so no risk of duty.

I know, what were they thinking, "always on screen" does not replace this.

I don't care about Snapdragon 835, 128GB or wireless charging, just give me a notification light FFS!

I totally understand about the notification light, couldn't live without one.

The G6+ is currently only planned for Korea/Asia, so if we are getting hold of one it will still be through eglobal or similar. Personally I manage on my current 16GB storage, so 64GB on the current model sounds like plenty to me, 128GB sounds like overkill based on my usage.

The thing with both these models is, if they are better, then they will cost more. We are being offered this phone for this price because it isn't quite perfect. So unless you are desperate for extra storage and wireless charging and are happy to pay for it I see little reason to hold off.

The main phone to wait for atm is the Pixel 2 imo, but then there's always a new phone just about to be released, you have to bite the bullet at some point..

better to risk buying this from eglobal hk than to waste money on the oppo oneplus 5

It might update, some "foreign" phones do, hard to say one way or the other.

Although after a year or two probably best to root it anyway and install Lineage or whatever is around at the time. Even official updates to UK phones can't be relied upon to be prompt or even come at all.

Unless you're desperately after a phone now, I'd wait for the LG G6 Plus or LG V30 (allegedly), which will be out in a few months apparently.

You won't be holding that opinion when said phone develops a fault & LG says beat it when you contact them for a warranty repair.

I'm now more bothered about updates from Andrewt1 now :smile:

Eglobal=horrendous used once pulled once for outstanding import tax... What a pallava.. Phone hot... eglobal so cold brrrr.. Eglobal now have a name at the excise n duty chances are you'll get your goods seized until you pay the duty.. May as well get in UK

The black version is now down to £325, that's half the launch price already.

Plus the black version is best anyway so you don't see the screen edge.

Although the new colours on the G6+ look tempting too, black front and coloured rear.
Frankly this Asian version has most of the extra features of the "plus" model anyway, quad DAC and increased storage.

LG are not worth it, too many issues with bootloops on their devices.

these posts on LG g6 man you guys will make me buy one, now that the amazon has accepted to return my LG G5 which has a GPS issue due to LG being a right pain in the ----- by refusing to fix it.. this deal is becoming more tempting even though i know eglobal is rubbish, should i buy this one or wait for s8 plus to come down to its senses.

Likely best payment method is direct purchase from merchant via UK credit card to benefit from UK-based Section 75 protection where the UK credit card company is legally obliged to assume all the responsibilities of the merchant such as delivery obligations, warranty, etc (EGC state 12months warranty for mobile phones); there is no requirement to ever contact EGC again once the credit card payment is made. An EGC thread for same phone a few weeks ago showed that credit card purchases were processed as debtor-creditor-supplier arrangement which is pre-requisite for S75 qualification. Second best payment method probably PayPal where you might squeeze 6months protection from purchase date.

dual sim itself makes no difference

many dual sims are however from china/asia however and thus may have support for slightly different bands

This phone supports:
2G network GSM 850/900/1800/1900
3G network TD-SCDMA 1900/2000
UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
4G network LTE Cat12 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/2100/2600 (Bands 1,3,4,5,7,8,12,20,26,28)
TD-LTE 1900/2300/2500/2600 (Bands 38,39,40,41)

You can easily check which bands different UK operators use, e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_UK

So you would be totally fine with Vodafone and probably everyone else too.

i believe you can ask them change the customs declaration to the real price

After the amount of crap I have had with my G4 I will never go near another LG mobile. Every one of my friends who has owned an LG phone has had to send it for repair/replacement at least once.

Ah okay. No a good idea then just for the updates?

I think the bands are not such a big issue as they used to be. Check that the phone has the same bands as the network operator you want to use. Bigger possible issue is that any software updates for the regular UK version will not come through to a foreign dual sim version. Most likely you will be stuck with the same software forever with no updates.

Wouldn't agreed more.

I didn't pay extra for my shipping and it was still sent via DPD from manchester. I can see no reason to pay the insured delivery - what exactly does it cover that my credit card would not cover if there was an issue....

What issue are there for using dual sim phones. I heard that dual sims are Chinese and don't work properly in uk. Plus don't you have to faf with buying a sim from country of origin?

Don't mind me. I'm just writing this to subscribe to the comments...

For those interested heres the full spec from LG's (Hong-Kong) website
http://www.lg.com/hk_en/mobile-phone/lg-H870DS-Black-64GB

My stuff from geabest is sent to Birmingham soometimes

Last time I posted a good deal from this company (33% off a JBL Charge Bluetooth speaker) the deal got negative comments and went ice cold. The comments were about the company being awful and that they should be banned from HUKD.

This gets posted and goes red hot.

I've given up trying to figure out this site :smirk:.

This is not true - try the Samsung A5 (2017) - perfect for Snapchat & selfies!

What's the camera like in V20 ? Thanks

I bought one from the same retailer last month, via ebay though. Was probably already at Manchester when I ordered it, I got the phone 4 days after ordering on a Sunday. Top phone really, kinda amazed it was never officially sold over here.

A fair bit bigger than the G6 if that's important to you.

its an average front camera. If you are a selfie person you are probably a snapchat person so no android phone will cut it

Which site? I never quoted the source I used.

I am using EE os no app for wi-fi calling must be in the phone

Loved my G2 and now G4 but Lg seriously need to sort out their battery life issues. Wouldn't buy LG again until they sort this out

Never buy from them

Read the disclaimer on the site, you did sign up to it when you joined.....

You also have to wonder what responsibility HDUK should take for allowing these crooks to have items posted on their website

July

My wife has this on 3. She downloaded their WiFi calling app (don't know name) and works a treat. I believe this is also Volte capable.

Anyone tried the DAC yet. Wow. I'm no audiophile but the difference is astonishing.

i bought one from EglobalCentral when the phone was £390, took 1 week it was delivered with DPD, and phone working great no issues

oh and you are also not important cheer up its a sunny day

It's already out... Let's see. £331.73

Another 0 deal poster... I can only listen to people who speak from own experience, I can see all + and - dealing with eglobal... I'm not naive, so don't teach me please

All you have to do is research. Why would someone prevent others from getting a good deal? You're naive as hell.

Pay with PayPal to be safe

Yeah, right... G5 was never below £300 but you want G6 for £250 in UK

Yes I had one from them before that I claimed on my Nationwide insurance

Don't you mean they ONLY have the UK/EU version motherboards which is why they say they can't fix the Taiwan grey imports? The reality is that the motherboards are completely compatible - I bought a screen damaged LG G4 with UK motherboard and swapped it for my bootlooping Taiwan import motherboard - now works perfectly fine so LG UK could fix the phones if they wanted to.

After my G4 had a bootloop always said I would not go back to LG. But the oneplus 5 does not seem that great, and cannot get used to the S8 curve. This G6 seems to be a good fit!!

LG do have boards as i spoke to them about this, they advised me i would need to speak to my insurance company and network to advise them of a new imei number - it takes about 10 days to replace the board.

Might be with you about never getting an LG again though.

by black friday this phone will be £250 and oneplus 5 around £350

I am still speaking to LG, i never said it was an import, but on the email they sent me to send it back it did say..

"i.e. liquid contamination or physical damage which has affected the
main board etc., non EU handset), there will be a nominal return fee to cover processing and
return of the handset unrepaired"

I don't think this is fair as my partners full time address is in S E Asia at the time of purchase, she has now moved to the UK... so i am still speaking to LG. For most people though - I don't think it will be supported.

LG UK explained to me similarly that they don't have the UK/EU version motherboards and that they can't help any further. Retailer should help as they buy 24 months warranty from factory according to LG UK.

It's not nice for LG to act like faulty phones didn't come off their factories and avoid replacing a motherboard which costs them probably a couple of quids.

I could've bought a Samsung like my partner did which is still going strong :smile: but nope never LG again

Easier to what?

Yes, screen area is larger on V20.

```Avoid

Avoid! This is a scam website. Ordered Lg g6 but recieved a toy phone which didnt even turn on.```

Review from TrustPilot

I bought 2 items in the past from these characters, a fitbit blaze which was fine and a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, which failed after 3 months... sent it back to them and they've had it ever since, 7 months ago. They said it couldn't be repaired until I said I would send it back to Samsung for repair as I contacted Samsung and they said it was covered under warranty by Samsung Gulf, then e-global said it could be repaired... and just held on to it! In the end I accepted their offer of vouchers (to be spent on their website) at which point they said the phone couldn't be repaired again. You have to wonder why they didn't want me sending the phone back to Samsung... make your own minds up!

No.

afraid not - No UK warranty on grey imports, your only hope is the seller

NO

is everyone doing insured shipping?

But can you still use LG UK for free warranty even with a Asian import phone? Would be helpful to know.

Although these G6 has the same diagonal screen size as the V20, I don't like it's narrower aspect for viewing webpages/text etc.
Isn't the screen area actually larger in the V20?
Obviously the G6 is easier to

I bought the black one it was a bit cheaper. Thanks for posting.

I had the same dilemma. I've watched all the reviews, and there's no doubt the V20 is a great phone. Both have their pros and cons, but i finally decided on the G6 because, at only 60£ difference, i think the looks and smaller size are worth the extra.

i have phone insurance with my bank, ordered using paypal as i get extra buyer protection too.
Held out for the oneplus 5, but honestly i can't justify spending £499 on it.
This G6 will replace my Oneplus One which i purchased back when Oneplus one were trying to undercut everyone....

LG G6 over time
£419.99 = cold (-132)
£393.99 = hot (440)
£392.84 - hot (397)
£365.68 = cold (-92)
£344.34 = cold (-26)
£335.61 = hot (427)

Is it going to get cold again next price drop?

now thats silly plain silly, you dont have anything important to do?

Same issue here, but if the phone was an EU phone LG will take the phone back and change the motherboard - I was on the phone to LG yesterday. My phone comes from Taiwan and to get the board replaced i think it needs to be sent to Taiwan...

I bought an LG G4 from eglobalcentral 17 months ago and last month it started having infinite bootloop issues, basically stuck in boot screen again and again (which LG still hasn't fixed with G6 according to some users). LG has accepted this is due to loose motherboard contacts and replaces those affected only to bootloop again after some time.

No support from eglobalcentral (automated response: warranty for 12 months) while LG UK says all their global devices should have 24 months. True if you can find a retailer who honors it. Eglobal is definitely not that one. After lots of mails and weeks without a smartphone, neither eglobalcentral nor LG claims responsibility for a manufacturer-fault device.

Although G6 is a good phone in theory with dual camera, qhd screen, there is the risk that you might not be able to use it after 12 months. When phone is unusable, price, screen, camera specifications lost all their worth anyway.

For me, never ever LG again
never eglobalcentral again.

Does this have wi-fi calling option?

Cant believe how quickly LG phones drop in price. I paid £435 for my V20 from eglobal in march and now its £277

Yeah, we gonna listen you mate... person who never posted any deal and just made first comment here

I dropped my Xiaomi note 3 se which I got from AliExpress. Claimed on nationwide in hope could fix and was new and wouldn't charge after. They where dead nice but simply couldn't fix in a timely manner so under the terms refunded me full cost of phone and even the case after couple of days of receipt. Less pain than sending back for warranty repair. Guess that's what they will do or use for parts. They also said if had a UK spec of phone to replace would have maybe done that but had nothing so high in spec to hand.... Something tells me paying out £140 was cheaper for them than fix or giving me a Hugh spec UK refurbished known make. Now on a note 4 love it. My first claim in many years was down the £10 excess and was another 3 weeks wait but that's life.

Uh guys, you know eglobalcentral is a dodgy seller right? Avoid.

I've added phones to house insurance before and it was alot cheaper than one of those sites, might be worth giving yours a ring you never know

What about warranty on this phone? On the website there is nothing mentioned about it

Have to add my experience with eglobal, got a Panasonic camera and it was delivered without problems.

Hot price but voted cold because I can't recommend this company!

As someone's asked above, does anyone know if I'd be able to get this insured with eg: protect my bubble or similar? just wondering if it's different rules because it's an import. thanks :smiley:

Does anyone know of any good notifications app that will work with Nougat, ideally I need a flashing display, with different colours for each app... I've seen older ones, but many seem to only function on older versions of Android

These were better last week when cex were giving £435 for them in black, pity they've changed the prices although god knows who was buying one for £670 they were apparently selling them for

Crappy front camera. Beware if you are "selfie person".

Shipped from HK warehouse with false customs declaration to avoid VAT and duty.

i used eglobal to buy a tablet for my father in law. no issues at all

Doh! Got the phone in the basket, read reviews, looked great, dual sim perfect for my needs, quality phone, then I Googled " notification light" there isn't one! I really need a notification light, it's mega important to me, I read it has a Always On Display feature, but I'm not sure how well that will work for me, I shall have to Google or try to watch a YouTube example.... I was just about ready to buy it too, perfect price etc!

I bought an lg v20 from eglobal with absolutely no issues whatsoever. Found them to be a great price and service.

This retailer is amazing, I have bought several items absolutely no issues, great retailer.

Literally 90% of the people who are always like 'ooh dodgy ooh chinese ooh not EU'

have never even bought an import good in their life.

ive had a few items off them all been fine theres always an element of risk i suppose i may get this phone in black once its down to 300 which is approaching way price dropping ive had the lg g2 g3 g4 all been good im using a gflex 2 now its been really good after seeing the one plus 5 im really not impressed and the samsung s8 doesnt appeal the lg is the one who cares if its not the latest snapdragon it really doesnt matter one bit the difference between the 821 and 835 is tiny the 810 in my gflex runs perfect with updates

AVOID EGLOBAL CENTRAL UK - awful company.

ordered a phone from them on the 9th with "insured economy express shipping" (8 to 10 day delivery), and I still have no idea where the parcel is, I have a tracking number which tells me nothing other than "it's on its way".

I raised two tickets, the first took two days for them to respond and they weren't particularly helpful, I raised another today, and I suspect they won't respond any time soon.

What you guys thinking about V20 for about £60 less from same retailer ?

Everything is way cheaper compared to high street retailer prices. Even S8 is £500 or S8+ £538. Never ordered from them myself so not sure how risky it is, but heat for the price.

My Dad got a dual SIM Galaxy S7 from them, arrived quickly and was 100% new. I'm tempted with the G6, but the G6 Plus has just been announced and I'm now torn!

forgot about quidco :disappointed: 6quid off!

I bought an LG G4 from eGlobal, the rear buttons failed within a week, they replaced it without fuss and sent a courier to collect. It did have to go back to Hong Kong, but replacement arrived within a week and has been solid ever since.

Would this be covered by UK phone insurance? Eg nationwide

i will wait for huawei honor 9

bought on first price drop for other 'alf and holding out for xperia xz premium for self...but this is getting crazy and very tempting. pleeeeaaaase stop posting!

There seems to be reports of the camera lens cracking on these phones for no apparent reason? LG phones always have issue.

its a great price only issue is if something goes wrong with the phone

They sent to some place in UK (Manchester), then to You. So basicly there is no risk of buyer beeing asked to pay VAT.

Thanks for sharing op.

What can be done if this phone develops any faults? From the above comments it sounds as though Eglobalcentral won't be too helpful. I have an LG G4. Its a great phone but I've had to send it back for repair 3 times within 2 years. Its on contract so at least it was easy enough to get repaired.

good phone. Reviews of Hong Kong Eglobal quite dismal

£200 cheaper than the Amazon and £300 less than CPW immediately makes Eglobalcentral seem a bit dodgy.

Great price, awful company to buy from!
