Hello everyone!
I've done some reading on the forums (so I hope I haven't missed a similar topic)
and I have a few questions to ask. Being the proud UK owner of a G2, the best phone I've ever used hands down, I am definitely ready to move onto the G3 !
I am seriously thinking of buying the Korean version - 32 Gig, 3 G of RAM sound more futureproof than 16 Gig, 2 for the same price nevertheless. However, I have a few questions for anyone who either has knowledge or has owned a Korean product before.
1) LTE bands and frequence. According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_UK#Radio_frequency_summary Vodafone, my provider, uses both band 20 and 7 for LTE. Now there are three LG variants, the L, S and K. According to this: http://optimusforums.com/threads/ko...ide-lte-band-differences-pros-and-cons.13134/ , it's just the L that has one of the two LTE bands used by Vodafone (And seemingly by most UK providers). Am I reading this wrong, or is it that the other two models would not support LTE?
2) Warranty - I guess this goes out to those who have actually owned one In the (un)likely event something goes wrong, what's the process of dealing with it - shipping it back and forth to Korea? I assume LG doesn't support Korean products locally.
3) Modding/Roming. Once more based on : http://optimusforums.com/threads/ko...ide-lte-band-differences-pros-and-cons.13134/, most mods that come out come out for the international models. Is this a reality? I've never been following models/variants much, but is it quite possible that buying from a Korean market may result in me never getting access to the good mods out there?
Thanks for reading, for answering (and for possibly trolling me ), and hope my questions make some sense.
After much Dilemma myself, I was in the same position as you are now in, I couldn't find any info on which model to go for, the F400K or the F400S variant, I spoken to my carrier and they gave me the gsm frequencies (I am in ireland) and then spoken/live chat with the supplier of the LG G3 from Ebay and they also directed me in the right way. I received my Brand New LG G3 F400K yesterday from Korea, and it work brilliantly. From my knowledge here in Ireland we run on the same basebands as you in the UK.
Perhaps the supplier of the phone can also direct you in the right direction, I initially ordered the F400S, but after discussing it with the supplier it became apparent that the F400K was the one for me.
Hope that helps you. I have brilliant 3G coverage here (4G not over here in my location yet) so I cant guide you on this.
Thanks
There is a good youtube video guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj_KUqkH4oQ on Korea models too if your importing. Shows whats in the box and talks about the pros and cons.

I wouild definitely upgrade from the S3 to the LG G3, I have had the Samsung S2, S3, S4, HTC One (M7), LG G2 and now the LG G3 and by far its the best phone I have ever owned, admittidely I have only had it a few days, but you can completely see the difference between them, I used to love Samsung, but ever since I had the LG G2 I am now a True LG Fan, Samsung have gone in the way of putting too many gimmicks into their phones, and also releasing different cariants of their flagship, ie, S5, and now S5 prime...etc. Definitely worth the purchase for the LG G3. Well worth the money. Battery life is great, Camera is Awesome, its quick and responsive with the 3GB Ram. The Brightness/Contrast is by far the best I have seen on any phone, The Display is awesome, QHD at its best. I love my G3
Hi guys sorry if its been asked before, but thinking of buying a 32gb version, just wondering if 4g three uk will work on it
I want to buy a LG G3 32gb with 3gb ram.
Now in the UK they only have the 2gb ram version and I assume the extra ram from a overseas version would be better or would it?
The question is what version would be best to buy and from what country?
I know Asian lte versions have a TV arial so that's not needed in the UK. Also some version don't have wireless charging on them but I'm not sure which ones. It's not a must have anyway.
Would I have any problems with a overseas LG g3 used in the UK?
Ideally I just want a 3 gb ram version that is exactly the same as the UK 2 gb versions.
Thanks for any advice given on this. Rick
Im in the uk and ive just had a 32g 3g ram version d855 of ebay by seller called cybergate for £357, im on the three network and it picks up 4g fine
Hey all,
Just a question I've got out of pure curiousity, would the LG G3 LTE-A (LG Prime, LG G3 Prime) work in countries apart from Korea?
This one for example: http://tinyurl.com/po27mqs
I know it's the version made just for Korea to work with their LTE-A bands, but it does say it's unlocked, so could you use it internationally in a country like the US or Australia? As I said I'm just curious, but if someone bought one and wanted to use it like the D855 International version, could they use it like the D855 in other countries, but with the slightly upgraded hardware?
And as for the software-side, they wouldn't be able to just flash updated D855 KDZs, right? They'd have to wait for the software to be released for that specific model of phone (Seeing as LG is based in Korea it wouldn't be that long of a wait)
Hi,
I've got F460K from Korea and it works fine in Poland. I have not any problems with this phone, besides of this, that there isn't many custom roms for that specific model. A few days ago my LG got even upgreade to L :]
