I'm thinking of getting the LG G4 Sim Free and want to know where is best to buy in the UK? I want either the black leather preferably or black plastic (not interested in any other options). Amazon doesn't seem to have the black leather and for some reason the black plastic is much more expensive there than the gold. I have seen a website called Handtec that is advertising the black leather at a reasonable price, but I have no previous experience with them. Can anyone recommend them or anywhere else for that matter?
Thanks in advance!
Rumoured that O2 will offer the G4 for approx. £480 on PAYG upon release .
Handtec are a very reliable reseller of Sim Free phones. I have pre-ordered the Red Leather through them.
Hey
I found 2 places selling it unlocked in the UK for around GBP 500

Unlocked Mobiles http://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim....html?osCsid=7e0fe5e2647bd589178fc0e3706774cf
I was keeping these as a last resort in case I couldn't find anything in my country.

Thanks, but I'd rather not have one from a network as they will probably put more bloatware on it (I'm not even with O2), plus updates usually come slower through he networks.

Thanks - they do seem to have good reviews. Just a bit worried as I emailed them to see how early they would have stock and they said either the end of May or early June - I need it asap as currently without a phone, so will have to check their stock status daily.

Thanks - Clove don't seem to have great reviews and aren't doing the black leather. Unlocked-mobiles are my alternative to Handtec but again they wouldn't commit to when they could send the phone out.
Guess I'll have to keep checking Handtec and Unlocked-mobiles and see which gets stock first!
Will the Korean version work in the UK with Three?
Looking at the 4g/lte bands I am hoping

You're probably better off starting a new thread to ask this as it has nothing to do with this topic.
Collected my G4 from an O2 shop this afternoon. Does not appear to be SIM locked according to the "SIM Unlock Process" app and I took a screen shot of the software version and the extent of the home screen branding if anyone was interested.

I'm talking to an o2 agent who says their LG G4 Pas you Go is locked to o2. It wouldnt be the first time they dont know what they're talking about. Are they unlocked? I dont want to spend £480 on a locked phone

Unfortunately I don't currently have another activated suitably sized SIM to confirm with.
Got one from three retail store for £480 today, they have a big statement on their website saying they don't lock them any more, and people with older handsets can take them in for unlocking.
Anyone got the updated cheapest local price for the LG G4?
I saw some online for £277 via google shopping but from the UK reviews it seems that they're being shipped from overseas.

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.
Thread closed on OP's request (and I dont see any purpose left )
Does anyone know about confirmed sellers that are selling European model of LG G4 on eBay (shipped from USA)? I've contacted a few and it seems like almost everyone is selling the Asian version (H815T).
Never-MSRP told me the same thing so I think that they do have Euro version. The only issue is that they I'm in Houston as well so they charge tax so that's why I haven't bought from them.

Anybody ever make any progress on finding a good source for the EUR models?
Only those can be BL unlocked (ATM anyway) right?

Fast, cheap and painless.
There are tons of threads about this exact topic going back to release day, all point to this site.
I and many others purchased from - http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/tfawes26?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754
Even the black leather one he sells (which is incorrectly listed as a H815T in the specification section) is in-fact the EU H815 model.
The seller is a little slow at posting and quite poor at replying to messages but he is completely legit.

I also bought one from this company and it was indeed fast cheap and painless, received the phone the very next day. It was an H815 unlocked and I have the unlock.bin, which I received from LGE with no problems, file saved for future use. The phone is now updated with the 10c kdz file and rooted by the method described in another thread in this forum, which was also easy to follow and painless.
I have an CZE H815 but today just freezes, I turned off and never turned on again, I never had falls the phone to the floor, just take care the phone like jewel and now never turns on again, the phone has in warranty yet but only in Czech Republic, don't know if someone want a cheap phone to use in warranty due LG doesn't offer international warranty.
Looking for some advice on where to purchase an unlocked H815 from. Does it make a difference which varient it is? Also would it make a difference when then 6.0 upgrade comes out?

Technomaster was the seller on mine, it looks like all (including mine) are fulfilled by Amazon.
I purchased mine (SEA variant) from B&H Photo, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/ . The NY based camera (and other things) super store. Cheaper than any I found on Amazon.
So Guys, I have just bought New an M9 Unlocked/Developer edition.
My question is will it run OK in the UK on O2 or do I need to change the radio?
OS : 4.14.617.6
Radio : 01.01.U11440971_103.00.61018G_F
I'm sure one of you clever people will know.

According to the frequency band chart, the device is 100% compatible on all bands using O2.....
Take a look at this page I've located....including the APN settings information.

You should be good based on the correct APN settings....g

Good find, except it doesn't specifically answer the question.
I know these phones work in the UK its just whether I need a different Radio.

Right, the Unlocked/Developer edition will not update the software...I've been down this road before.
Once again I have bought a counterfeit M9, this time from Amazon...
And once again no one cares...
Meanwhile I still haven't got a mobile phone.
Anyone now where I can buy and original HTC M9 in the UK please?

Amazon will take it back....if you claim warranty against it.....especially if you are beyond the 30 day return window.
I had a camera that I bought last year that was a sony clone....and at 45 days out I sent it back under warranty...
I sent them an email and explained....then they issued an RMA..
I bid you good luck !!!...g

Just spoken to HTC, thankfully this one is not a counterfeit....
BUT
It is meant for the American market, which means it wont work in this country!!!
I've never had so much trouble buying a phone.
So I have given up with HTC and am buying a Sony as I can get a free PS4 with it!!
I would be mad not to!!

Both versions will get updates and work as if they identical. The only difference you will see is performance and battery. In which snapdragon outperforms on note 10. Both support same LTE band, so yes Virgin 4g should work.
Got one too.
Using Vodafone UK, volte calling and WiFi calling both work.

Actually, it kind of depends on which Snapdragon model you are getting.
N975U/U1/W have pretty much every band under the sun, but are single-SIM.
N9750 is missing a few bands compared to the above, but apparently covers everything in use in the UK. It is dual-SIM.

The 9750 has a less locked down firmware, but the N975U1 will get the Android 10 beta.
Living in the UK, I would go for the 9750. You are getting more features at the end of the day.

Just to be clear on this.....You and No one else should try to flash U.K firmware on the SM-N9750.
On the SM-N9750 you can only flash (BRI) Taiwan firmware, or (TGY) Hongkong firmware.

I think the last October patch came a few days ago, where the Exynos model got it a few weeks back. So no! They have their own update policy not mirroring the Exynos dates.
I got it from eBay. Do a quick search. The device was shipped from a "Swiss" Wearhouse - based on the seller. The good part was no import taxes. Ordered Tuesday, got it one week later!

I may have just ordered from the same seller .. it says it's from Switzerland .. I have a concern that even though the advert says it's new and they say in their listing that its brand new I'm worried that it may actually be refurbished and how would we know ?

Is there a way to know for sure that the phone is brand new? The seller told me that all their phones are genuine and brand new but they said that most of their phones they open the box to make sure the phones are ok ...
This worried me a bit because if they are saying its brand new then i would expect an unopened box
