That's ridiculous the photo proves its faulty - loosing all is charge in a really short time!

I suspect the reason a lot of us have received open box's with seal removed is because they are swapping the genuine chargers for fake imitations. My charger vibrates internally when you flick it with your nail - implying its built to a poor standard internally. Genuine chargers don't do that.

Another issue I've noticed is there is no Mirror Link support on this particular dual SIM model - though that's not really an EGlobal fault.

I sent it back because it was overheating so much I couldn't keep it in my pocket and the battery was a joke. Worse than my G3.

i notified them within the 30 day period for returns.

now not only are they refusing a refund but they want me to pay to get the phone that I don't want back.
btw registered postage from £Ireland was €1

I think they offer 12-month warranty:

For info, i ordered mine last wed evening and it arrived yesterday. All working fine, banking app (natwest) works fine and with fingerprint reader of it helps. Not used the option yet but yes has quad dac options.

Yup, used it just fine. no problems

As promised, here's an update!
I ordered this phone on 19th late evening, and got my phone in less than a week which is perfect!
Phone looks great and works great, I am very happy with it. I am posting this comment from it

will android pay work on this imported phone?

Yes it does. The app itself works perfectly fine, didn't have a chance to actually buy something using it though...

With sounding like I'm being awkward, what has this got to do with this deal ?

My G4 is on it's way to LG for a repair just now, phoned up and within 5 minutes it was all sorted out.

NEVER use a debit card.

Anyone got one and what is the sound like . Anyone have any issues with this and remember the v30 is to be annojcxnsd so it looks like stock clearance on this model although that's a different line but similar specs

Yes it is the quad dad version.

Is this.the quad dac version.

Yes, I think they set them to English before shipping

Would have.

Is that a fact? They honour some form of international warranty?

Price gone back to £319.99 but the code does still work making the phone £309.99.

I've got 2 dead G4's just sitting around too. One was from Eglobal the other was bought in the EU. No help from LG or Eglobal - really miffed and trying to get over it. As I paid with Paypal, there's not much you can do after 6 months.

Really was one of the best phones to date which makes it even more annoying.

Had very good experience with SquareTrade actually - but no use for those who've already bought from EGlobal. Does anyone know if companies like GadgetInsurance.com will cover these phones - their terms state ambiguously "must have been purchased by you in the UK, Republic of Ireland or from the US" which isn't clear if the purchaser has to be in the UK or the retailer! But it's cheap insurance at under £30 annually.

Yh omds currently having this with my LG Nexus 5X. What is it with LG and bootloop issues?!

I mentioned it on the occasion of the previous "Hot" LG G6 from eglobal. They have listed LGs on Ebay and they come withh an option to subscribe for 2-years SquareTrade (warranty) insurance, extra 69GBP though. Anyone considered this option ? I am not sure if SquareTrade covers 'grey import' products. In their terms and conditions I found :
• For new items your period of cover is contingent on having a valid manufacturer’s warranty. If the
insured item is not covered by a manufacturer’s warranty but has been declared as “new” we reserve the
right to cancel your policy and issue a full refund.

If that worked it would be better than S75, but unarguably more pricey. As for S75 I did small research, including reading S75 itself. I would say in not 0-1 situations it is very slippery road. To use S75 and have it accepted by CC vendor first you need to exhaust all options with the seller. This might be not to easy, if you read some negative comments on TrustPilot, eglobal tend to postpone any claim in time. Slowly respond to messages, send back the same faulty devices to customer and it takes weeks like not months, very often they offer a credit (fraction of the initial value) as a reimbursement that you can use in their shop for next purchase ( yeah good luck, devilish deal ). So as a matter of fact they offer settlement, lousy but still is. S75 works perfectly fine in 0-1 situation, one side of the sale agreement goes bankrupt for instance etc.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that! The dual sim option seems limited to the S8+, nice phone but a bit pricey at full RRP compared with this deal.

S75 is for if the seller does not fulfil his obligation to give you a product or service that is fit for purpose and you have to take this up with the card provider and prove your case to him and if he finds in your favour will make the seller put things right or give you a refund which the card provider will claw back from the seller.

elbs:


isn't sec 75 for if the product arrives with a fault, rather than if the product arrives fine but develops a fault after a period of time (which manufacturer warranties are meant to cover).

have been trying to find clarification for this online, but can't find any resources that specify if the sec75 protection covers faults that develop after a while.
If anything goes wrong within first 6 months the cc will take care of it.......
After six months onus is on the customer to prove for is with the item....

ABS?

Only for the eu h870 and sim free us996.

To install twrp you need a bootloader unlock and its only for the above models .

Apple would of sorted that for you if you had taken it in.

Samsung does directly on their website for the s8

Nice link. I've had an LG G3 since it came out and it's never put a step wrong. I'd not hesitate to buy another LG but this one is still going strong and is still pretty zippy for my needs, so I have no need to.

Don't use this site. They sent me a faulty iPad. Royal mail does not allow you to send anything with a battery in it to Hong Kong where they are based so you have to use DPD. ( After some hunting they are the cheapest) at £30 I would recommend using a UK company. It was DOA and the cost was down to me. Never going to use them again.

If you're all ears, you'd be better off with headphones.

This is the exact reason trustpilot ratings are not a 100% guide. People go online and moan but not so quick too when all is fine. You will get issues anywhere with any product. All products have a small % failure rate. This is a Chinese company. Not unreasonable to have to send it back to China. Key is knowing what you are signing up for.

So you need to post a deal to vote cold. Get real. LG are shocking build quality, Eglobal are grey market imports hence the price. You pays your money you take your chance. My experience's of both aren't great. I wonder if the people who post these deals ever buy them.

Even with the potential S75 issues I'm still sorely tempted, need a dual SIM phone for byod at work and outside OnePlus no-one offers flagship handsets with dual SIM in the UK.

I agree. If someone can recommend something around £300 that has IP68 and an amazing camera, I'm all ears.

Which is what iZettle said too, but it's not up to them, it's up to the credit card companies, and that guy had his claim denied by Amex. The protection with third party processors needs clarifying by the ombudsman but it's not been done yet. It's likely you should be able to make a claim but it certainly isn't cut and dried.

But there are exactly no phones which will match specs like IP68 rating, quadHD screen and what some consider to be the best camera(s) available anywhere near this price- though Honor 8 is not too bad spec wise but does that count as a UK phone!?

isn't sec 75 for if the product arrives with a fault, rather than if the product arrives fine but develops a fault after a period of time (which manufacturer warranties are meant to cover).

have been trying to find clarification for this online, but can't find any resources that specify if the sec75 protection covers faults that develop after a while.

Seems like there's a lot of great handsets you can buy at this price point that aren't LG, won't bootloop, won't have screen issues, will have UK warranty etc. Not sure why you'd risk it.
I bought 2 x Xiaomi phones, 1 x Ulefone and 1 x LETV Le 1 Pro. All were decent specs, all arrived promptly from Gearbest. Ulefone developed a fault and to be fair I got a full refund after some haggling. LETV was a brilliant piece of kit but had malware / PUP and needed a fresh ROM flashing. One Xiaomi still good, one had the digitiser die.

For me, UK sourced phones from now on. My blood pressure can't take the China experience anymore.

No it isn't.

That sucks.

So is this only for the EU version?

forum.xda-developers.com/lg-…595

This appears to be the address google.co.uk/map…656

Ordered one. Will let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed

Good luck. Never tried but lets say you bought the phone, owned it for 18 months and it bricked I think you would find it hard to get your claim approved.

Give me a nudge when it's £150....

.... probably within 2 weeks :wink:

I would consider going for this but there are already some isolated reports of G6 bootloop issues which have plagued some of the older models. Not sure what to do.

Would have probably bitten if it was the black version. Sent them a message asking them to reduce it too... Never hurts to try!

Correct me if I'm wrong but this model has not been rooted? Its the only thing stopping me buying one.

which is this place lol

Why ? I bought LG V20 from them and I'm happy ...so ?

For some people it will be worth the risk because of the heavy discount. However, after boot loop problems on the G4 and G5, I don't trust LG reliability and without a UK warranty, it's not for me.

I received a black one yesterday. Everything as expected, and interestingly enough during setup the language was set by default to English (UK). It had neither a SIM nor a wifi connection at that point, so not sure how it figured that? Anyway, only issue is the charger is a US one (not a problem, useful when visiting daughter and family in Texas). I have phone protection for both breakage and breakdown on my current account, so not too worried should anything go wrong.

this shop does not even have an adress in contact section, here are some reviews:
uk.trustpilot.com/rev….uk

...stay away !

Should I buy it using PayPal or just Debit Card? Which payment would be more insuring?

new or used?

One word, two letters: No

Will this have an LG warranty in the UK?

section 85.

CONDITION?

Its not the buying it that is the issue. What good is your credit card going to be if it goes faulty and you can't return it and you are stuck with a Korean warranty.

I was hesitant at first regarding the negative view of the site on here but got the LG V20 for £280 (for the GF) and it arrived within a week (ordered Tue arrived following Mon) with no extra duty or tax. So heat from me. Still purchased via CC though for the protection.

Root it with European ROM. Problem solved

One issue that probably isn't important for most is that this version is not getting updates as frequently as the European model.

Have some heat. Absolute bargain. Amazing phone. Forget the bad rep eglobalcentral get. I've never had any issues with multiple orders

Nice one Pavel, I'll update price.

£305.99 after LGPP15 code
