There is also the problem that there is no 32GB model in Europe. Am I right? That's what I need, more space and the more RAM.

or u can just spend $3 on a SIM-unlock code and $10 on the QI charging sticker.. add it to the inside of the battery cover of a US-variant G3 and not deal with any of this.
T-Mobile's is bootloader unlocked. Add $13-$20 to unlock sim/enable wireless charging.

This has the japanese version that aparently has a removable battery and a memory card slot.
Does anyone have one of these? Advice on this model please? I would LOVE to get this phone.
Thanks!

Spare battery can be purchased on japanese websites like rakuten. Is there any International shipping agency covering Japan in HK?? I used those services in Korea to buy LGL21 and spare batteries. Spare battery costed me 2400JPY per EA.
I had that version for a couple of days and couldnt love it, felt really cheap in my hands.

I am a bit confused at which G3 is best for use in the UK.
I'm on EE and have seen that all the Korean models support the necessary networks, but I have been told that they don't work fantastically.
What are the facts?
Thanks in advance.

I have read some who have the Korean version have issues with it not seeing 4G or losing 4G after a reboot and the European 3/32 version supports all LTE bands within the UK so there won't be any issues with it working in the UK on EE or any other network.
Also you cannot cross flash ie a D855 firmware onto K400 or vice versa.
Thanks for the information both of you.
I think I'll go with the EU version to make sure.
Just for clarity, the D855 is the EU version, and the F400/K400 are the Korean versions?

Yes, they do. They only stopped doing pre-sales.
I have decided to pull the trigger on a galaxy tab s 10.5 but don't know which model to get. I want the exynos with lte that works on at&t. Is there a model that has both the exynos and lte support for AT&T, or should I purchase the tablet directly from AT&T? Root is also a concern my note edge is AT&T and has no root in sight due to locked bootloader. I want to order the model that has it all. Any input is appreciated.
I have the T-807 on VZW and there is no root method for my tab, so I'd say avoid the T-807 if root is something important to you. The 807 (for some reason) in the fastest and smoother of those I have played with tho

Yup they only ship to the UK strangely considering the tab comes from Hong Kong. I might just settle for the T-Mobile version. I wonder if the performance is much different between the snapdragon and exynos. I really want the 32gb one but no GSM support, hopefully lollipop update comes soon enough and I can write whatever app data I want to SD card.
OK now I feel stupid, I assumed that all of the US carriers would have the snapdragon version just like all US Samsung phones, but according to T-Mobile and AT&T sites both are the exynos versions. I will be getting the T-Mobile version so bootloader will be unlocked and root/custom recovery will be easier to obtain. Thanks for the input.

Hi, I have read a lot about this phone and i really would like to buy it but it is nowhere to be found!! Why is that? Do you know of any online store that has it that ships internationally??
I live in Japan and BTW I want the european model (P2a42) because of the bands supported, not the chinese one. The Chinese model I did found it online
I really dont know what else to do, this is my last resource to get this phone probably

Yes they sell mainly the P2c72, which is unfortunately with better hardware (64gb) than P2a42. It will work just fine in Europe, but in US the 4G frequency is different.

all ebay listings sell the chinese variant. I cannot believe there is no availability of the european model (p2a42) online.
I could easily buy the chinese variant and it will work for me for the time being here in Japan, but I wll not be living in Japan forever, when I return to my home country the phone will work only with gsm.... The european model has more compatibility with my home country bands
Check out SuperBuy.my
It is a Malaysian retailer that sells the P2A42 variant. They ship via DHL and many Australians on the Whirlpool forums have purchased there, including me.

Are you sure the 3g/4g frequencies of p2c72 are different than the frequencies in your country? There is a thread in this forum where I mentioned all the differences between p2a42 and p2c72.
I purchased it from this guy and it shipped to the US fine. Its the p2a42 version I would recommend him

Huh?
I've heard of a mid-April SIM free release date - probably from Carphone Warehouse as they also did the V30 & G7 SIM free.
Probably no VoLTE or VoWiFi support in the UK due to carriers not officially supporting the phone - LG seem to prefer to turn the options off / remove them from firmware completely rather than leaving them as some other manufacturers do.

They've done it on the last few handsets - you end up having to root the phone and then hack the firmware to turn (core) features back on.
Based on this alone, I think this is going to be the first year in the last 10 that I won't be buying an LG phone!

That's really sad, for both LG and you. I really want this phone so I can play with the sound display and air gestures, but not at the expense of standard tech which even dumb phones are starting to ship with.

That said, Wonda Mobile is importing and selling the Korean version.

It is indeed.
The LG G8s LMG810EMW is the same as the Korean version and if available in a few weeks might be better to get this option. With the Korean version it will work but there will be some quirks with it.
There is no information about G8's at all ....
The reason i wanted to get g8 from Korea because it has a triple camera
Of course I'd rather buy the EU version.
I dont know why LG does not make the same models everywhere.
Just get the G8 from Wonda
