I so hope your right as on g2 I believed similar and was sadly proven wrong. Even today there had never been a 32gb model G2 official in uk.
[G3 General] Super Chimp:
As I've already said up thread when I have asked about this to retailers the belief seems to be the manufacturers don't think there is a demand for 32GB models in the UK. The logic of which belief escapes me.
[G3 General] wolfgart:
who knows if AMAZON.DE is shipping orders ?
[G3 General] Dan1909:
From what I've heard, UK orders from there are being cancelled :(.
[G3 General] shingers5:
If that's true then it makes no sense. Speaking to the people I know in the industry I've been told that for the G2 the 32gb model was never made for this region
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Where did you hear that from?
[G3 General] wolfgart:
really ? Are you sure ?

Which's the reason of that ?
[G3 General] Bilhouse:
I know what your saying. I had a G2 imported from Hong Kong briefly and after the KitKat update it lost 4G completely. It could only be turned on after flashing either a German or Italian firmware. By that stage I had already returned it.

But I'm pretty sure the European models will be fine in the UK.

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

My order is still fine as are many others. They stopped allowing new UK orders about a week and a half ago as they were getting low on stock and wanted to keep them primarily for German customers. I would be really surprised if my order is cancelled now. As far as I am aware they should start shipping by the end of the week or around the 28th as mentioned earlier in this thread.

Who knows exactly when LG start to ship this phone in Europe ?
[G3 General] Baccer:
Amazon still shows no shipping date:(
[G3 General] wolfgart:
Yes, true.

It's incredible see how bad LG ship devices on the market
[G3 General] ASD007:
Maybe the delay is to replace the crappy screen!
[G3 General] wolfgart:
i have F400K and is not crappy. This is the best Display ever .

I wait International variant, but this delay is very bad
[G3 General] ASD007:
Hoping so but can't explain this

LG G3: Display Quality and Battery Life so far: http://youtu.be/_-
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
What is this delay you've mentioned more than once?
[G3 General] wolfgart:
oh no, LG shipment's delay

very bad.
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Yes, I understood that much. I guess I was asking for some more details such as the source of your information etc.
[G3 General] wolfgart:
They are very late with initial promised period, it was last June...

Apple is number one to set a Day 1 for his products . I don't understand why LG can't do the same.

Fix a damn date
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
What are you talking about? Last June?

Unless you have any actual information relating to an actual delay then you shouldn't start worrying people on this forum.

End of June/Start of July is what Europe has been told and as far as I've seen there is currently no reported change to those dates.
[G3 General] wolfgart:
Soon we'll know the true about that....
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
I've pre-ordered one and if it is going to be delayed then I'd like to know. If you have any information the please share it with the community.

[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Release date in the UK is the 26th shops already have the stock so unless there is a product recall (which I doubt!) there will be no delay.
[G3 General] shingers5:
Thanks for that. There will be no delays at all. These people who ordered from Germany are the ones that need worry. Official date for uk model 16gb/2gb ram is 26th but I know for a fact carphone warehouse always has early stock
[G3 General] wolfgart:
no sense to buy 16gb/2gb variant. Less powerful at all then other variant.

LG G3 is 32GB/3GB

This is the right experience
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Stop trolling the thread.

The difference in performance between the 2gb and 3gb variants is about 4.5% as for the larger internal memory plenty of people can get by fine on 16gb without an sd card, on this device they can have an sd card.

You won't see devices where having 3gb ram makes a huge difference until 2015.
[G3 General] wolfgart:
No Bro.

Here you have a QHD display to manage. And S801 with 3GB of ram will do the difference with future OS updates.
[G3 General] shingers5:
Thanked in error but I also have a note 3 and to be honest my old note 2 is still more than adequate for what's out at the minute. M8 is considered by many as the best phone out now also s5 and they all have similar ram. I have always bought Samsung over most because of the sdcard addition. I have never had any issues with apps and low memory
[G3 General] ASD007:
In Android authority review which seems to be thorough, at 3:15 and 3:45 plus other scenes too there is no over sharpening as Erica Griffin kept talking about and appears fine so I can only assume there are some crappy screens out there on some early review units..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cLImgz6TXc
[G3 General] shingers5:
These guys all have the chinese or Korean models which for some reason seem to have faulty screens. When compared to the uk version this improves dramatically so we will see. Erica Griffin sometimes jumps the gun mate and when you disagree with her she gets all personal and egotistical. In won't go into detail but I take what these guys say with a pinch a salt. When I have the device I will pass judgement myself. Phonedog had the model most of us will get here in uk and screen was very good
[G3 General] MrPhilo:
I'd prefer 32gb + 3gb ram than 16gb and 2gb. Atleast you know you're set in the RAM department for multitasking.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

I meant can we use the 16GB/2GB for the 32GB/3GB device as they have a minor difference in hardware (Baseband etc)
[G3 General] bluebobx:
If you're buying that model from Germany etc then I would have thought you'd be okay - I can't see any reason why the storage/memory changes would also need other hardware changed too. Last time I checked, LG were saying that they had "no plans" to bring the larger model to the UK. Although I'll give you good odds that the Snapdragon 805 based "G Prime" model will be upspec'd like that. (With a hefty price to boot).

On the other hand if you're one of the folks buying the Korean grey's off of eBay then sure, you'll probably have problems.
[G3 General] shingers5:
Hopefully most of us here in uk will have this phone by the weekend maybe even before. Its gotta be a good phone to spark such a debate here lol. I am sure whatever variant we all get we will all be more than happy with our choices. I remain however quite miffed as to why some people are going crazy for the 32gb 3gb ram model. Yea 16 more storage and an extra gb of ram but I have a note 3 and tbh its all wasted right now. Maybe later on as ROMs keep increasing in size it will prove useful but for now 16gb 2gb ram is more than adequate I think.
[G3 General] sloseph:
2gb should be plenty for a while, Kit Kat has been specifically made to run on low RAM phones, Google have made a big(ish) deal over it, they're not going to turn around a few version down the line and say we need to have 2gb of RAM to run it

i don't think we're really going to need phone with higher RAM until 64 bit phones/apps are out which will probably be by the time my contract is up for renewal again
[G3 General] ninjakettle:
I think most people going for 3/32 are doing so because they simply can - the spec is better whether it's useful or not, it might be cheaper all round, and they might get a free charger to boot. It's the deal i'm chasing as much as the spec, but i am also one of the few who ran out of space on a 16GB device, plus i'm voting with my money to buy elsewhere as i'm dissastisfied the UK got shortchanged. If the German buy falls through, i'll be going UK same as everyone else buit i'll be glad i gave the 3/32 option a shot.
[G3 General] anc1en7z:
Does anyone know if Three are getting any colours besides grey? I was looking for the white one but it doesnt seem like they're stocking it on the pre-order. :(
[G3 General] Protagoras:
^ This.

I like to have plenty of stuff sitting around in my phone (photos, music, movies, podcasts, etc.) Most of it I can move to SD card, but it's still a lot better to put it in internal storage natively without having to worry about mounting folders, etc.

And also, because I can :)

Sorry, this item can not be shipped to the United Kingdom. See details.

notebooksbilliger.de

minor update -

I originally placed an order, choosing the "Vorkasse" option which was prepayment. But because my bank charge cowboy fees, i switched to "Nachnahme" which is cash on delivery to UPS. They just mailed to say they have recreated my order (cancelled the first one) and all is well they're just waiting on stock to arrive. My account on site confirms this.

Now i've never done this cash to courier payment before (must be a german thing?) so once dispatched, I can see myself ringing UPS to confirm what they expect (cash, card, EUR or STG equivalent). Anyone any experience with this? I'm assuming UPS handle the Import VAT too (which is fine as you pay no VAT on the german side as expected)
[G3 General] jhericurls:
I noticed the cash on delivery option is 10 Euros more expensive.

I emailed asking if I can pay via credit card, this was the reply:

"To settle the payment via PayPal / credit card a new order through our online shop is necessary. The order in advance we would subsequently cancel. Please tell me whether you agree to this condition."

But I don't see any option on the checkout to pay using credit card so have emailed the again... waiting for response.
[G3 General] ninjakettle:
You're right, it is €10 more - I asked about Credit Card originally and was told it wasn't possible - didn't check about PayPal though. Lets see what they say.
[G3 General] jhericurls:
With its poor exchange rates and fees, Paypal could be the most expensive option.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
You might get it on Thursday!
[G3 General] shingers5:
Looking like Thursday is the day for now just in time for weekend
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Its not the money nor the spec, its the principal. I can get the 32GB cheaper than the 16GB, I'm not going to pay more for less.
[G3 General] sloseph:
have you heard anything from CPW or is that just a hope/guess?

the sooner i can get my grubby little mitts all over this the better, my S3 is ready for its trip Valhalla
[G3 General] Theguru1:
No word on Germany release dates still most places here in the UK have release dates but amazon.de... nada!!..

GGGRRRRR
[G3 General] shingers5:
That's the date mate. MPD also have similar and someone mentioned some shops already have stock. CPW normally gets stock before most so any day now I reckon
[G3 General] ratedr75:
Got mine ordered from 3 as part of an early upgrade we are doing.

Can genuinely say I am looking forward to the phone more than I have any other in a long time.

Just got an email from mobilephonesdirect saying have it on launch date 26th!.....only CPW dragging heels now, typical!
[G3 General] goofylad:
hahaha mine too! the charger ports is giving up the ghost ! not bad as the whole phone lasted 2 years no problem!!!
[G3 General] shingers5:
Don't worry mate CPW usually gets stock before all the others. I don't think we will be disappointed
[G3 General] gsw5700:
Why rubbish?

Note 3, find 7, one plus one all have 3gb, other countries have g3 3gb, its an additional 50% of ram to assist multi tasking or cache file data in memory, it makes it future proof, 1 don't want to find out in 1 year that I can't run android 6 etc or game xyz because I only have 2gb. contracts are 2 years, so the phone should last that long.
[G3 General] jhericurls:
2 vs 3 is not 50% increase.

I think you're thinking too much into this, its not the RAM you should be worried about but the CPU. LG plan to release the Snapdragon 805 G3 so no matter which G3 your have, we will all have the gimped version... just some are more gimped than others :)

Also doesn't the best selling Android mobile phone, the Samsung S5 have 2GB Ram.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
As does the m8
[G3 General] gsw5700:
Yup, which is why I didn't get them (that and the fixed battery on the m8, and horrible look of the S5) Then....out of the blue, a gorgeous, phone with everything, sdcard, removable battery, great camera, great design, 3gb ram, oh hang on, not in the UK, WTF...

Oh well, will wait and see if 3/32gb version is available else, sigh :(
[G3 General] Dan1909:
Of course it is. You have two, and then someone gives you another 50% of what you have. What do you have now?

2 + 1 = 3

It is all in the wording though. You could say that the 2 GB version has 33% less RAM than the 3 GB version, or you could say that the 3 GB version has 50% more RAM than the 2 GB version. Both would be correct.

You could even say that the 3 GB version has 150% of the RAM of the 2GB version, still correct.

Basically, there's lots of different ways to represent it, but what he said was not wrong.
[G3 General] wolfgart:
totally agree

G3 = 3GB model .

2GB has not selling sense, it sounds something like "G3 mini"
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
This is the UK thread and the UK is not getting the 32gb model so there is no point in keep repeating that point over and over, if you are not happy with the 16gb then either buy the 32 from another country or move onto a different device.

Also the performance difference between the 2GB and 3GB models is around 4%.....yes just 4%!
[G3 General] htc6500uk:
The

If my life was expectancy was increased by just 4% then I might live an extra 3 years or so - Think I'd like the extra 4%!
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
It's a phone that will be out of date come October anyway... Why are you clinging to such small margins in an industry where everything changes every 6 months anyway?
[G3 General] TheKrow:
Just pre-ordered at CPW! Got £100 Cashback and the Circle Case!

They said it's still on their systems as 1st July - here's hoping they do get it earlier as I CAN'T WAIT!!!
[G3 General] Bilhouse:
By that logic of yours the 2GB will be even more redundant in in 6 months time! More so than a device with 3GB!

Regardless of what happens 6 or 12 months down the line, 2GB is perfectly fine right now. The reason people are discussing the 3GB/32GB model is that there is obvious demand for the model with both more RAM and internal storage and it is peculiar that the UK market, which is by no means a developing market, is being left out of the mix. It would be somewhat understandable if LG only sold the 2GB/16GB model in Europe but instead they seemed to have randomly picked countries where both models will be for sale. E.g. Germany, Holland etc.

This thread is for UK users so I assume down the line there will be a fair few of us who to decide to get the 3GB/32GB model, so this is the best place to discuss it with other people from the UK.
[G3 General] RaiderX303:
I ordered mine from that seller and he declared it at 125, arrived today and I got no customs charges
[G3 General] ASD007:
Is that the Korean version?
[G3 General] shingers5:
Judging by model number it is as none.of the others are available yet F400 is Chinese model
[G3 General] turt:
Shingers5, you keep talking about China in your posts. Please learn the difference between China and Korea, it could save your life ;)
[G3 General] shingers5:
Well I don't need too mate as if I'm wrong then just tell me so. I am not thickle like some on XDA and can accept being wrong. I read that the F400 was the Chinese model and that there is international version D855 for Honk Kong Korea and Taiwan etc. Stand corrected if am wrong was also similar with G2
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Lol, exactly what I thought, but I'm impatient git, so I'll have the 2/16, thank you very much :D
[G3 General] Mickhaz12:
Anyone know where to buy a international circle case as I hear the Korean versions don't fit the d855 international version
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Oh my rofl, that's just priceless
[G3 General] Mickhaz12:
no the d855 international version is for everyone but Korea and USA... Europe, Australia ect.. Koreans use f400k, s, l

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Please elaborate what is priceless about this?
[G3 General] surfer1000:
It was because, every one is beavering about getting either, UK, Chinese, Hong Kong, phones etc, and then your post shows up a compatibility problem on the accessories, that's why to me it was very funny and priceless.

However there are a few places coming online now in UK that sell the case your after, and the compatibility issue is with the Korean version having a tv aerial so yes the case is different.

[G3 General] Mickhaz12:
Well it was becoming boring.. the phone is completely the same if its the d855 international model without carrier bloatware.. not sure why it's so hard to understand and yes there is a 32gb 3gb ram d588 model sold in Germany and netherlands sold now on amazon and ebay. If I were you UK guys I'd be ordering that.. all carriers and frequencies are covered in the international model so there would be no issues plus it's cheaper.

anyway I thought I'd change the subject. The topic isn't about the model of the phone... cheers for your answer. Any link to buy this case??
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I did post it, but you can have it again http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/search/?man_id=34&searchterm=Lg+g3 :fingers-crossed:
[G3 General] turt:
You don't realize that LG is a Korean company, don't you ?

The reason why the F400 is already on the market is because it's the korean version for LG's home market...

Yea that's all you needed to say initially as I got mixed up. And it should say 'you do realise not dont'

LG G3 Review! (4K): http://youtu.be/lTE337ITnAc
[G3 General] krisbi:
re Circle Case:

I noticed there are Circle Case and Circle Snap cover. My guess is the snap cover is for those phones which already have the wireless charging back cover whilst the case if for the ones which don't since it has the feature built-in.

Why the snap cover is more in price than the case is beyond me though.:confused:
[G3 General] wyase9:
Am confused now, I was reading pretty good things about the battery and the screen of the G3. Then this morning, I read the conclusions to a G3 v M8 review on gsmarena, and it slated the G3 for poor battery and poor contrast, brightness and angles...... Seems to be against what others have said in reviews.

What is the unbiased, unsponsored, unequivocal truth about it man!!
[G3 General] Dan1909:
It varies from review to review.

But in general it seems that the screen has fantastic pixel density, but is a bit meh in other areas. Poor contrast, iffy brightness, and strange over-sharpening effects.

Battery life seems to be great in standy by and talk time, but poor (in comparison to other current flagships) actual screen on time.
[G3 General] jutley:
guuys great deal for the gold one here with £220 cashback http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/lg-...fter-cashback-mobileshop-1937199#post22128216
[G3 General] shingers5:
That's it only you can be the judge of that when you have your device! Do we really care about screen analysis data or do we trust our own eyes when we use the device. I reserve my judgments for when I get my own and see how I feel. I'm never one to pay too much attention to what these reviewers say. When I have it I can test battery life check screen res and form my own opinion.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

With G2 a lot of the reviewers had early korean model with antennae and sdcard slot even a removable battery which had poor screen. When they got their hands on the units for their region the display had improved dramatically. I'm am guessing this will be same on G3. I'm expecting the screen on UK version to be better than current korean model

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

Great deal indeed but upon reading comments one guy suggested it was an error after he spoke to customer services. Still shows on site though
[G3 General] jutley:
Its not a error because i ordered it online and spoke to sales and its all legit you get cash back volchers to claim.
[G3 General] shingers5:
I don't doubt you mate I just read all the comments and one.the guys said he rang up and was told that. I've got a good deal of CPW with unlimited minutes and adequate data
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Good deal maybe... but gold, no thanks. I would pay double to get the black one.
[G3 General] Mickhaz12:
Lol what makes you think they will improve the display just for the "uk" ??? They won't change it. Can you imagine the uproar around the globe if they did. If they were going to get it right it would of been in Korea. Wishful thinking guys.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I've got a gold one coming.....looks sooooooooo nice :D

[G3 General] jbak98:
Well I have cancelled my order for the 32GB with Amazon.de

Couldn't wait to see when they might deliver it so I walked into a CPW store and upgraded with Vodafone to unlimited minutes and 9GB 4G data for £39 a month with the circle case and £100 cashback on the spot. Should be delivered on Thursday or Friday apparently!
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Anyone got a further visibility on CarphoneWarehouse and when we might see some movement there?

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

HAHAHA!

I was just asking if anyone knew any more from CPW.

I got the same deal as you but I'm paying £1 more!!! Outrageous! :eek:

Did they seem to know what they were saying when they said delivery this week?
[G3 General] jbak98:
While I was in store buying the contract the guy showed me an internal CPW webpage that came out today saying that it was going to be released on the 26th. Have just spoken to there telephone support however and they still think the release date is 1st July. So who knows really! Could be good news!

Hope it is the 26th would love the weekend to play around with it!
