I'm located in the US and recently purchased a new unlocked LG G7 thinQ from Walmart at a great price - $395. Have had it about a month and it's great. However, just realized I was sent a Canadian Version (AWM) instead of the US version (ULM). Some sites show the AWM version as a North American Variant. Am I okay? Should I be concerned? Should I try to do a return to Walmart?

I was wondering if its best to get the unlock UK LG G3 D855 or just wait for the ATT D850 version to use with my straight talk (I have a att sim)?
Also I live in Florida so will the Frequency of the UK Version work in the US? (example Like 4G, MMS, ETC)
Any drawbacks?

ok I'll check that.. I still need rto know if it will work in the US properly
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 :]

Ah okay cool, cheers man! If anyone else wants to say any more, feel free.
Hi all,
Living in the land 'Down Under' and can't wait for this phone.
Looked at Harvey Norman (store) and they are offering this phone as an unlocked phone (pre-order), the model number is: SM-N930FZDAXSA
Now GSMArena say the model numbers are: Versions: N930F (Europe); N930G (India); N930V (Verizon); N930A (AT&T); N930P (Sprint); N930T (T-Mobile), N930R4 (US Cellular); N930W8 (North America)
Would love the international version (I assume it is the: N930F (Europe))
My question is....
Is the phone being offered in Harvey Norman the Europe/international version or is it just an unlocked Aussie one?
Asking for the better support for ROMs etc on this web-site.
It all about which bands each phone version has and which bands your carrier uses.
check out http://willmyphonework.net/
they may not be updated yet for all of the note 7 versions but they will
be.
Being from USA the note 5 i c g etc were all international to me. The A V P & T are domestic.
hope this helps.
Sent from my SM-N920I on XDA-DEVELOPERS Mobile app.

I just canceled my pre-order with buymobile due to reading some really bad reviews on their company (possibly the old Mobicity, Yatango crew). The order was for an international version shipped out of Hong Kong (I would expect, same as my Note 4 was), it would have had no warranty here in Oz. I've gone the Harvey Norman route, rather have local phone with warranty and buymobile were not doing the free 256Gb MicroSD, whereas Harvey Norman are. Tried Samsung Oz but their black onyx version has sold out already. I think it's too early yet to find out about which version is best for ROMs, just going to take the chance.

The OZ one should be similar to the international variations. Also, if you can get discount gift card from harvey norman or jb hifi, then pre-order should be a good deal. I just ordered one from jb-hifi with 7.5% discounted e-gift card.
In the past the international versions were better supported (more variety) for the ROMs etc.
The international versions generally ended in F: N910F (for the Note 4)
I physically went to the store to ask, but the salesperson didn't have a clue.
I looked at their order screen and it listed the model number as SM-N930FZDAXSA
So because this model number is SM-N930F....ZDAXSA
Does this mean it will be supported by the ROMs created by and for the international versions?
The Model number on The UK Amazon site is SM-N930F...ZBADBT
Making me think the one from Harvey Norman is the base International model ?
Although I do like the Blue/Gold colouring

So I ordered mine online from Samsung Aus direct (unlocked of course coming from them) and the model number of mine is below:
SM-N930F....ZKAXSA
Just ordered USA unlocked (G710ULM) Platinum Grey. Why no news of bootloader unlock since 2 months of launch? What's the duration of LG's previous flagships which got bootloader unlock?
The purchase is from B&H, freebies like AVODA Case & Tempered Screen.
is there statistics where how many have purchased total LG G7s worldwide as per variants (G710ULM vs G710EU sales).
We know LG G7 sold more than LG G6 during launch, surprisingly the USA unlocked (US997) got bootloader unlocked around a month after launch.
Is LG busy with LG V40 launch? Also must be busy rolling out Android 9..0 Pie by Q4 of 2018.
Any chance at unlocking and rooting the b&h g7?

The main reason I bought the USA unlocked G710ULM is to wait for the official bootloader unlock from LG. Unlike the US997 LG G6 is enjoying root, I'm surprised and upset that the USA unlocked LG V30 (US998) and now the LG G7 (G710ULM) has no word from LG. They just want us to purchase the European unlocked, which is more expensive , they are out of my price range in buying my favorite LG flagship. The US variant is reasonably well priced where as the European variants aren't. 11th July was the launch of the G710ULM and 4 months nothing from LG.

Gonna be honest I don't think we're getting anything from LG. I think we're on our own for this one
