[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jericho246:
https://www.amazon.it/LG-smartphone...eywords=g8s&qid=1559946353&s=gateway&sr=8-3LG G8S (the worse G8) on Amazon Italy

They really hate Europeans don't they? Looks like it started last year with the V40. It wasn't available in Europe until like 5 months after it launched in other parts of the world. It's probably gonna be the same with the V50 and the G8. Also, they decide to spit in our faces with the garbage G8S. Bigger notch, lower resolution and a ridiculously high price. I mean, I guess if the same model was available everywhere it'd be fine, but they really **** on their European fans year after year. Very disappointed in LG. The V30 (a great phone) was probably the last LG I owned. Sad.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
I agree, the naming of the G8S isn't great either as it could be assumed that it was the plural of the G8...
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Still no news from Wonda, sent a message and they said they were going to speak to Korean Telecom, nothing yet :(
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sabret00the:
I literally just emailed them myself.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Maybe they don't have the stock yet since moving their factories to Vietnam
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Hi

Have you heard back from Wonda yet?

I think I'm going to bid for the US version on eBay hopefully get a bargain even with the extra fees may come out cheaper. I may have to unlock it myself though...
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sabret00the:
They responded to say that they'd let me know as soon as they have them back.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Hey guys

Not sure if anyone knows if I purchase the G8 US model via eBay that is currently locked to T-Mobile and box is fully sealed as per the description, can I unlock it easily so I can use my Three SIM?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sabret00the:
Check the bands against that which the phone supports: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_UK#Radio_frequency
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Done a bit of Googling and it should work, my concern is unlocking it.

Youtube have provided various websites to use for a fee of course and T-Mobile phones tend to be the easiest according to the comments, we shall see
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sabret00the:
It only costs around a fiver if you take it into a phone shop.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Finally received my phone from eBay seller, only slight concern that it has been opened (the box) but described as new but everything else seems new ie in it's factory wrapping.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sabret00the:
Can you make calls and whatnot?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
I will need to unlock it first as it's from US T-Mobile, just going through the set up process
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] nerdo:
super annoying that one has to jump through hoops, and probably pay more, just to buy this phone in Europe already 3 months after its launch!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jericho246:
found this. quite expensive https://www.powerplanetonline.com/l...tm_source=kimovil.com&utm_content=lg-g8-thinq

might as well get the V50 from Wonda Mobile lol
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] nerdo:
It says not available ..... lol
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
After getting the phone, I cannot unlock it so far! Tried T-Mobile (via messenger) which was helpful but needed to go through an activation process via T-Mobile sim card and need to be in the US even asked the seller to help but he bought the phone outright not linked to his account. The Device Unlock App is holding it back and so far tried two 3rd party sites as suggested by T-Mobile still no luck!!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Super expensive, just over £800...
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] third_degreee:
LG G8S is on sale on alza.co.uk for £577. 90.

That's a decent price in my view - Snapdragon 855, IP rating, MIL-STD 810G Compliant, OLED screen, triple cam versatility, secure biometric face unlock, microSD, 3.5mm jack for class leading DAC etc.

Sure we get a small downgrade on the screen resolution compared to G8 but I think G8S has a wider 137 degree ultra-wide camera (widest on a smartphone?) to maybe compensate. At least with less sharp screen we might get better battery life?

Edit - just noticed the UK LG page for the G8S only mentions a "32-bit Hi-Fi DAC" and not the usual "Quad DAC" that is in their other phones.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
If you manage to get hold of a G8 at the same price then the G8 is much better overall. Not sure why we (UK) only get the G8S and can only get imported G8s.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
Got myself a new one well demo unit but new never used as per description which was from an UK seller fully unlocked for £520.

Made a lost due to the other phone not unlocked but aiming to sell, Three are offering £380 which isn't bad. Lesson learnt not to get anything locked without at least checking the carrier's terms and conditions.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jericho246:
Didn't want to make a thread so I'll ask here: which do you guys think would be a better purchase? The G8S (worse G8) or the V40? I can grab the G8S for around 650 euros, as for the V40, it's 450€.

Unfortunately there's no camera reviews of the G8S on YouTube (or anywhere for that matter) and I heard the cameras are worse than the G8 ones. :(
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] sabret00the:
The G8s has the same cameras as the full G8. What you're surrendering is sound quality (because only LG would cripple their flagship feature) and display (because LG as one of the premier screen manufacturers in the world, chose to cut corners here).
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jericho246:
According to GSMArena and other sites the G8S has a worse aperture. And yes, it reallysucks about the sound and display.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] nerdo:
Do you guys know if better specs G8 has a dual sim version?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] nerdo:
Jumped ship ..... shouldn't be that difficult to get a new phone that one is going to pay a lot of money for!

Very pleased with my new Redmi K20 Pro..... 5-6 hours SOT easy

....miss QHD though!
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubenos:
Hi all,

My old (now GF's) Z3 reboots after to much movement or putting down to hard. I'm assuming this is because it might have fallen to many times (with cover), with the result that the gyroscope became half defective. It seems to work still in other occasions (if the phone doesn't reboot).

Is there anyway to know for sure, and if I can repair this?

Kind regards,

Ruben
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loop_x:
I could have the same issue as mine fall several time and now, it still works but once boot is complete, no time to "open" it that it reboot. Tried to put it in the fridge and didn't helped so it's not heat issue and I have no idea why this is rebooting because it still works .. but reboot at the end .. :|

Anyone ? Tried to recovery with Sony Companion which worked but still reboot after saying hello ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sphynx88:
tsk i upgraded the radio version after i fixed my phone to work variably better from when i got it (upper right screen tap). i was so happy it was stable because i went through 4 sleepless nights fixing this thing and trying everything (hours of testing). i plug it in my usb and happily transferring files. i leave it plugged and the bugger is working. perfect. my apps. no problems. reading ebooks too.

i come back decide to see what the fuss about the radio is so i decided to upgrade to the file HERM_Radio_Only_1.43.00 ... after successfully loading, not for long about 5 more mins plugged poof! disconnect sound. lcd faded. phone fried no red light when plugged. have two batteries so it's not the batteries. not the connections either. nothing. dead. tsk... and i was so excited.

so warning. and if anyone knows why. why? thinking i fried something inside gonna change capacitor to see. tsk tsk htc hermes take my karma away and leave my coming new tytn II alone!

[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 8892904:
Reasons I WANT to buy the Honor 8X:

1. GREAT PERFOMANCE.

Despite its low price the 8X does pack a Powerful Punch. The Kirin 710 in normal Day-to-Day use never lagged; at least on my friends phone. Opening of Social Apps is Quick and Most Apps don't lag. Since in Pakistan it costs about 35K its still a solid performer considering that many of the FlagShips cost 50k for the Poco and 112K for the OP6T. And for its current price it offers almost no difference in Day-to-Day normal use. And Games are smooth, no lags in PUBG, etc.

2. BATTERY.

The 3750 mAH Battery is more than sufficient for daily use. And can go for Two-Solid Days with Normal use like browsing Social Media. Or at least it did, On my Friends Phone. He usually Charges it overnight so I dunno. Its a solid performer.

3. CAMERA.

Now this is something that Legit surprised me. On Budget and Mid-Range phones a Solid Camera isn't what you normally expect. They are Average at best. The Honor 8X. It breaks that. Camera is solid. Some of the AI is also. Somethings that require improvement is the Beauty Algorithm. Seriously it makes you look as if you have a TON of Makeup On. Also the Dual-Camera are good both for Photo and Video. Dunno about 4K tho. AFAIK know its there but at 4K@30 FPS. Oh well. You can't have it all.

4. Design.

EXCELLENT. Nothing more to say.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I'm probably gonna Ruin my chances with this but it belongs here. And, Of course, Im talking about why I WOULDNT buy the 8X.

Ill just make this one long Paragraph/Rant so people who don't care can skip this, and in One Word. BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING. Its the only reason and Deal Breaker because of which I'm not getting this phone. I know most people don't care about this. Heck the don't even know about it including said friend. But then again he didn't even change the stock wallpaper or the home screen layout so..... Anyway as someone who unlocks the Bootloader of his phone and roots them ASAP the 8X isn't for me. And even if I were to make an exception considering my afore mentioned points, the phone still has some quirks. Software being one of them. Updates are rare and months apart. The Overall Software experience is bloated. I like the direction the company is taking with EMUI 9. But since I haven't tested it I can't say. Overall, Software still needs a LOT OF IMPROVEMENT.

Thank you for your time.

I want to buy HONOR 8X because -------

It looks very good aesthetically. Not only that, it's also a very capable unit with the balance of hardware and the often-updated OS. One of my friends had one and from the time that I played it once, I just felt that the cooling system of that unit was impeccable. Both of us played 3 hrs of PUBGM in Medium+High Frame Rate settings and the unit barely become warm to touch. It's also lightweight despite the glass build. Battery was super long-lasting too!

To my fellow entrees, let's share all the luck we can get and have a fun game! :highfive:

I want to buy HONOR 8X because i love the looks and features this phone have to offer.

I am looking forward to start YouTube channel and I would love to make videos featuring this Device in Home screens and Top Apps Videos and if this device have active development. I would love to help out other users in any way i possibly can ??

[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 8892904:
Active Development? LOL. This device doesn't even have an unlock able bootloader. Shame. This is a great device for custom Development. Not as good as Poco but still for half the price where I live. Anyway the permanently locked boot loader is the reason many will not buy this.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] yog12:
irony of all that is , it is showing you are Honor Supporter & they are having this initiative for xda and providing phones with permanently locked bootloader. :p

They really need to let users Unlock Boot loader and provide sources :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 8892904:
Unfortunately that's true. I wish it were possible to remove that to. And as many have said before Honor has no pace on XDA. But thing is not everything on XDA has to do with Custom ROMs, Root or an unlocked Bootloader. Thats only 99% of the stuff. Anyway Honor is using XDA to advertise their phones to people whose first priority is an unlock able bootloader. And even if they do a complete 180 the Damage has been done. No Dev wants to develop for Huawei. Rooting EMUI 9 is a royal PITA.
[Honor 8X Guides, News, & Discussion] UL7RA:
I'd want to buy the Honor 8X because I had the occasion to test it with my own hands as one of my friends own it, and it's nothing short of amazing.

I've been searching for a viable replacement for my LG V20 that is getting a bit old, and I might finally settle for the Honor 8X as my V20's successor.

Its price will not break the bank at all, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come packed with good stuff. Even if the price is quite low, it comes in a big form factor that I love (I watch a lot of movies and videos on my phone, and sometimes the subtitles are too small and I have to squint my eyes to see properly, same goes for finer details in some videos, they're just too small to see on a smaller screen) and it has a modern and premium look. I never had a 'glass sandwich' phone before, and this one is one of the better looking glass sandwiches with that color scheme on the back. I also love that it kept the headphone jack, as sometimes I use my hi-fi wired headphones to listen to music. Also the big battery will surely last me quite a bit, even if I watch movies, listen to music, or play some casual game. I didn't get the chance to try the camera, but I've watched a couple of YouTube videos about this phone and it seems pretty good, with the AI features and all.

Long story short, I like this phone because it has a huge screen, it's a good looker in general and it feels premium, and it fits my multimedia-intense criteria for phones.

Cheers.

So I liked the price for this device which is offering :

a powerfull kirin710 processor, IA face unlock, a wide 6,5" HD screen, a good 3,750mAh battery, great speakers and Emui9 Pie compatibility which is coming soon.

So it's a great deal.

I am feeling very bad for XDA, Honor tooks the freedom what XDA people enjoy and here they are promoting the brand and we are supporting it.:(

I was a big Honor's fan and owned 5 devices but now I hate Honor and Huawei and reasons are

No bootloader unlocking

Completely Closed source

Make device slow like apple with updates

Poor after sales service and many more.

Bottom line : If you are an XDA member then never purchase any Honor/Huawei device.
