Hey all. Just started this thread for all the uk people to congregate Getting ever closer to the release date.
Unfortunately I've only just got a G2 on contract a couple of months ago. So unless the G3 is competitively priced I will be staying with my G2. I'm very happy with it I just get jealous and want the newest when I see there's an upgrade ha ha.

My contract ended a couple of months ago and nearly got the m8 but heard to many good things about the g3. What do you reckon to your g2? My last few phones have been HTC so looking forward to trying something different.

I am in a similar situation. I'm still using my Nexus 4 (great device) but looking to upgrade once it's nearing 2 years old. The price is a huge factor in what device I'll upgrade to. I'm sold if it's <£350 but my hopes aren't that high to be honest.

I have the M8 and I am going to get either the G3 or the OnePlus ONE. The M8 is a good phone but it hasn't really wowed me. I prefer the design of the original HTC One, I would rather have 32GB internal instead of 16GB+MicroSD, the camera isn't particularly good and the build quality has been a bit dodgy. It picks up small scratches and nicks really easily. Whilst HTC Sense is one of the nicer UI's the new LG Optimus UI is looks great based on the leaks. The only real positive I can say about the M8 was the battery life which was solid.
hoping for SD 805 (slim chance)
but minimum must be waterproof, have an SD card, good camera and a 3000mah battery....
due my upgrade today from my s3 but still not 100% on the LG g3 till the launch announcement.

I'll stick with LG from now just because of the battery on the G2. I've had a LOT of android devices in the past few years and never seen one like it that just keeps going and going. I double the screen on time i got out of my N4.

What do you reckon to the size of the m8? My biggest concern about the g3 is size at the mo. Will have to hold it in my hand and see. It looks about the same size as the m8 but wider, that's why I ask.

I just don't know what to do at the moment. Still have my Galaxy S3 and love it but been thinking of upgrading and passing it on to my wife.
Been looking at pre owned handsets on eBay like the HTC One M7 & LG G2, then started looking at the new HTC One M8 and now the LG G3 has caught my interest along with the OnePlus One. Only thing that's putting me off slightly is the SIZE!
Need to buy Sim free as don't want to be tied in to a contract. Will wait and see on expected price of the G3. Does look nice with the metal body.... :good:

The M8 size isn't too bad to be honest. So I assume the G3 will be fine for me.

I do love my M8 but my new-phone-a-holic tendencies might have me looking at this, especially if the £450 SIM-free price I've seen bandied about it true...either that or get a OnePlus One when they're more readily available (or the next Nexus, etc...)

that £450 price is most likely for a 2GB/16GB version. I had an M8 for a week and returned it because I couldn't get over how big the phone was for the screen size.. just too much wasted space and the stereo speakers aren't worth the sacrifice to me.
According to rumors, the next Nexus, which is going to be called Silver, is slated for February. And the OnePlus probably won't be readily available for another month or two outside of China. Hopefully the G3 has an availability soon.
If I was to go back to Android I would most likely pick the G3 at the moment, but I am a bit suspect about its size.

For me, the reason is simple. I wanted something really practical, not over the top, with descent screen and performance.
Before that I was thinking about purchasing Xperia Z, but after seeing it in person, I was left with bad taste (and definite symptoms of buyer's remorse) , especially all this power under the hood, that cannot be managed properly and creates some heating issues. This is ridiculous, since I view it as a flaw that is plaguing all of them new and powerful phones. I came to realize I don't need their power or gigantic and unpractical, comically (by phone standards) big screens. And then there's the price they are asking for it. Thanks, but no thanks.
I bought the Moto G LTE and I really like the phone so far. Descent hardware, useful as a phone and nothing over the top.
This phone means serious business, and his looks and price show it.
a friend of mine gave me Motorola Razr (xt910) for 140€. Screen was excellent, the look and how it was made was excellent, camera was excellent, but there was terrible battery.. and in that time, I was student that travels 2 hours every day so I needed new motorola, with good battery, but I haven't any money. Then, 22.12.2013, I was with friends in a bar and I saw article about new budget motorola. Impressed me so much. I started to looking for that phone (still in the bar). I found one guy 20km away from me, he was selling new Moto G from Germany with charger and leather cover for 240€. I wrote him e-mail, if he will change phones, he replied yes if my Razr have microSIM. It had, so very next day (23.12.2013) I changed my 140€ razr for 240€ Moto G. The phone was really new and only problem was (and still is) stuck red pixel, but only visible on dark background... anyways, it was double win for me + I had best christmas ever. And I must say, this phone is truly awesome. I will always be with motorola/google/lenovo.That's my story

I have nothing better to do so I'll tell you my story. I allways wanted a Nexus device.. But where I live there is no chance to get one of these. And everything is overprized here.. So I was dissapointed with my situation. Also I always bought Sony phones.. Xperia X8, and Xperia tipo were my two last Android powered Sony smartphones.. But Sony really sucks when you see the update policy they have. My tipo was cappable of run Jellybean 4.1 but Sony never updated it.. And CM10 for it is so buggy... To sum up, Sony sucks.
After a while having that Xperia tipo I knew Moto G in an article in a blog, a guy was saying that some companies were selling Moto G overprized.. But what impressed me after searching some info was that now Motorola was using a pure Android experience and, in addition, they now were using on-screen buttons! That was something I allways wanted! And when I saw an IPS HD display, quad core CPU, I said I HAVE TO GOT ONE. But I didnt have any money so far... So I search for a mid time job and finally bought it.. I fell in love with this device.. Its great when it comes to performance and updates. Also I have the 16gb version and it is the color edition wich comes with Moto Shells of other collors. So, its great to see a good company that cares about people and delivers such a great Android experience.. I still have that Xperia and its a great phone but I will never again fall into Sony's trap. My next phone will obviously be from Motorola!!!!
I came from an xperia mini pro sk17i. I loved that phone for its hardware keyboard but as with most sony phones support was really bad and I'd decided to get a better phone that had better support + larger screen because the small screened xperia really started to show its age because more and more apps moved to catering for larger screened phones, and one phone came into mind and that being the moto g. I googled, made some effort to confirm that support was indeed good on this phone and next thing I knew the screen on my sk17i broke. I had the xperia since 2012
It was 2014 and all of that meant go time for a new moto g. Got mine and so far ive been happy; the moto g has a good build, a screen fit for one hand handling, and amazing battery life. The one thing thats been bothering me though is its not so great camera. It does good in daylight but not so well in the dark. I'm still getting used to using on screen keyboards. I guess i have no choice because there arent phones with HW keyboard at this price point AND good support.
Excellent device!
Excellent value ($66.31 + tax) (Quad Core, IPS display, solid construction, good reviews)
Good Development: Official Support on many Custom ROMS ( Kernel and ROM source available ) very important to me!
Will get Official Lollipop ( according to Motorola ): Didn't know this for sure when I bought it, but I suspected it would.
I always wanted cheap, but powerful phone with high durability, battery life and awesome performance. I thought it was just one of my wild dreams, but one day I found MOTO G, when I was looking for replacement of my old iPhone 4S. Today, I'm using it over 1 month, and it is the best phone I ever had
Best value and with extraordinary performance
Great value for a great price
I bought my moto G because it is extreme value for an affordable price
My S3 mini's battery died, and I found the incredible quality/price on the moto G, so I got the xt1033 3 days later, never regretted.
2 months later, I jumped in the sea with it in my pocket... Still a brick on my drawer now...
Well, I died without it, and 2 weeks later, I cracked, bought the 4G model (cheaper than xt1032 in Romania) and my happiness is there.
Here's my short and simple story :
There's 2 things I love -
- Always having the latest Android version
- GAMING!
But unfortunately I can never get my hands on expensive, overpriced devices that run like a dream; and even the Nexus phones seem are quite expensive frankly speaking.
Behold Motorola! Moto g was an angel descended to earth!
A dream come true! A (relatively speaking) behemoth of a device for 14k INR (~$229) filled the above criteria perfectly!
Haven't looked back ever since. And now I'm feeling ever so stoked knowing that Lollipop is around the corner

My S3 was glicthing up so I decided to get a phone for the amount of money I had at the time. I saw Android Authority's review for the phone.
Can't say I miss the S3 at all and the second generation G is 5 inches so if I ever feel the need to go back to big screens I can just sell this and get that. Amazing budget phone and I hope other companies follow suit.
Durable (for me anyway)
Nicely built, it doesn't feel like a cheap phone
Insane display for a phone it's price
In my case i wished to buy a budget phone with quality specs. I saw about moto g in an add in internet , i live in a village which far away from the city so i contacted my friend who lives in city for getting this device. At last i came to know that its 13999 INR in flipkart so i decided to buy it , started saving money for it little by little and at last i get this device in my hands and was happy till now . Now we get moved on to city side for continuing my studies, still i hope its the best best device . Thanks motorola and thank you friends for making me to share my thoughts here
I needed a new phone and it was $60. Best decision ever.

Priceerformace
Because of price to performace ratio that is enough for my daily usage. Plus the size that's just right for my small hands.
I used to have the Xperia U and Sony didn't update it past 4.0, i was having GPS issues with the phone and tried to use it to play ingress, but it met an unfortunate end when it met the wall in my living room, so i looked for a decent cheep android phone and for the spec the Moto G was a good deal so i ended up getting one, 6/7 month's down the time i sold that and got the Moto G 4G
Moto G is like my dream phone. A device that good specs,screen, and development but still budget friendly!
I had come from a carrier branded (MetroPCS) LG with a locked down, tighter than a submarine's hatch, boot loader phone (LG Motion). I wanted a developer friendly, inexpensive phone.

I bought my Moto G 'cause it's incredible! In Brazil (and in the rest of the world), the price is very small and with my Moto G I can do a lot of things (more than when I had my Galaxy Y)!
My little cousin is looking for something in the range of 300, I'm pushing them toward swappa and telling him to research some things that he has enough money for but can you guys find something you would recommend for that price range? I'm leaning towards a Nexus 6 because I loved that phone. He brought up HTC m9

I would be really wary of buying a used Nexus 6P. There were obviously quality control issues with this phone. Too many people with boot loop and battery issues who need to RMA. Without a warranty you could end up with a paperweight.

Moto G4 Plus looks really good for a $279 price tag. The one major drawback is no NFC. But he can get a brand new phone with decent specs and a warranty.

I had a g4 plus (moto) before i bought a nexus 6p. All i can say is it is one kf the best phones that i used.
No issues at all. Running great up to now.
go for moto x pure edition 64 gb with great dual speaker at $260 best buy on sale
Depends what carrier you're on.
The Google Phones get updates faster than the moto phones of course. I would recommend the Moto Phones if he either a) knows how to unlock bootloader and flash custom roms, or b) doesn't care about stock updates. Moto is generally notorious for lack of updates.
If you're on GSM, could always get a OnePlus device.

Nexus 6p is great and in many peoples opinions one of the best phones currently out. It is very customisable and easy to use with good battery. Also if your cousin is into nodding then this is one of the best phones for stuff like custom roms etc. I would highly recommend this phone because last I checked it was around 300. I bought mine from the google store almost a year ago for 300-320. Can't remember exactly. Good luck searching.
yes go for moto x pure edition with 64gb great camera and best dual fron speaker better than the nexus 6p.. saw iit a week ago at $260 at best buy.. thats a steal

I wanted to ask if it's worth buying another Note 4 within this year and 2018. I currently have the SM-N910H variant (Exynos), but I want to get one that's SM-N910F variant (Snapdragon). I found one that's about $480 but it's refurbished. Should I consider getting it or should I go for something else? Also forgot to mention that I have a spare ZeroLemon extended battery, since I have a TQTHL extended battery. So that's also why I want to get another Note 4 so I could put it to good use. Thanks In Advance.
Edit: Okay, so I wanted to revive this thread after a couple of months for any new insights on what smartphone to get. So far this year has been somewhat promising, with some disappointments about no headphone jacks and notches. But overall, I'm not sure if it's a good time to consider buying one or holding off till next year. I plan to get the Oneplus 5T during this summer, since the phone does seem like a worthy buy for about 400-500 dollars. I was also thinking about the note 8 or 9, but I don't want to sacrifice an arm and a leg for it. And I've lost faith in Huawei after their announcement about no more unlocked bootloaders. I know that there are plenty more to come, especially during the fall, but will it be worth the wait, since many new smartphones seem to follow the design of notches and no headphone jacks.

Note 4 is still good device but its kind of old now if your budget is 500$ i highly recommend you (one+5) its super fast device 8gb ram+snapdragon 835 dual rear camera etc or my second recommendation will be (s7 edge EXYNOS) excellent device all around.

I did find one for about $268 dollars, however it has been used though. Also I'm mainly looking for a Snapdragon one since I have the Exynos one already. But I might consider browsing a bit on eBay instead of Amazon.
Personally I would rather get a N910C as the N910F isn't very stable and has a tendency to overheat.
Keeping in mind the eMMC issue that so many on the forums have faced, the refurbished or used Note 4 could be a ticking time bomb. Perhaps better to put your money towards a new phone or at least a phone which doesn't have a history of hardware failures.
i found a N910T on ebay new for 238.00 hopefully it is new. how can you tell if its been referbished? Im switching back from the I 6Splus and cant wait.

I don't know about the C version, but my F version, after a little more than 2.5 years, it overheats for sure. When this happens, it is impossible to use it until it cools down.

I can personally vouch for the N910C. As it runs on the more stable Exynos 5433 SOC.
I just keep rebuilding my note 4 once you get good at seperating the bezel without craking the screen . U can repair any internal issues without haveing to buy a new screen every time. All the new notes have stripped down features. I need my ir blaster and removable battery I don't want to dismantle the phone just to replace the battery each year.
I think this note 4 will be my last phone, simply of the battery removal, and can tack on a 10000mah battery on longer trips, not to mention if you compare the specs between NOTE 4 and the new Iphone X, Note 4 Wins in many categories especially the screen and camera areas, also compare the note 4 to the note 8. Specs are comparable for this 3 year old phone. Works very well. But to @[OP] $480 is bit much. I paid $100 for mine, and they are about 180ish or so around my area.
I'd avoid any Snapdragon-based Note 4s if I were you. Apart from the overheat issue, the Snapdragon variants also suffer from the infamous EMMC issue, which is a deal-breaker.
to me, exynos is the best choice

Well that is true that Snapdragon does have a fully working port for nougat. But there is currently a developer who's working on porting nougat onto our Exynos devices. Many devs have given up on it but I feel like he might be the one to get it to work.
I'm still using using my 2.5+ years old n910c with a slightly newer battery and it never disappointed me so far .
Till today I haven't found any phone to be strictly better . All new phones have over note 4 are better SoC and Camera . But the new designs I don't like so much , not to mention luck of removable battery, SD cards, infrared , a proper load speaker etc.
The best upgrade for a note 4 would probably be note 8, but that's insanely priced so...
If you have the money you could get a Mate 9 and that would be a nice moderate upgrade too .

Hello there. Totally worth it. Mine N910F is the best so far. Even G935F and G928F was my ex-phones and the only one pros was the 1h sot over my note 4 snapdragon.
Hello guys, I am overall happy with my G3, but I want a newer phone. I read som good reviews about this phone.
I also read about some customers that had issue with Your device is corrupt etc. <-- What is this all about and is there a fix for this?
I will root and put custom rom on this phone. My Lg g3 has gotten a little bit hot sometimes when working hard or charging wireless. How is this phone, anny heat issues?
Is there any other issues I should read about before I buy?
Thanks,
regards Morten
I upgraded from lg g3 to g6 and love it!
Unlocking boitloader and rooting was easy.
Sooo much better than g3.

Hey, I see you're Norwegian, so you're probably going to buy the h870 model. Just keep in mind that only the h870, us997 and h872 models can be bootloader unlockable.
i dont know if you gonna update your G3 for G6 because your are on the budget, but if you dont have limitations is rather better buying V35 or V30S (even V30), the reason is: more features, OLED display and so on...
G6 is good dont get me wrong, i have it and love it, but if i know today, i rather put more 150 and go by V30 just because the camera and hifi DAC, is a major updates from G6 to V30.
Trust me, when you go for V series you never want to go back to G series, since V is more complete, have a lot of better features for people who like to have them is a must go and i am sure you will enjoy it more.
If on a budget...go for G6....huge improvement over G3.
If not on a budget then don't buy V30 or V35...wait for V40.

Even thinking this way, remember LG phones price drop so quickly so, when V40 came out V30 will be under 450 if not under 400, and this is some value for money phone, not like V40 because that will be at 799/699 at the launch and people dont need to wait for a little improvement phone and overpay for a minimum upgraded phone.
Here is easy, if they like G6 and can grab it for good money then is a go, if the difference between G6 and V30 is little then go for V30.
V40 is at least a month or two away, for what? a bump from SD835 to SD845, little better display, little better camera?! At the time they release them isnt worth that much money.
I think people buy LG phones because price is good, and of course is on a budget side...if people arent on the budget and have money to spend is easy to see what they gonna buy: shamesh*t, crapple or one of the more advanced phones out (NEX S, Find X)...but that is people who like to overpay for something who dont have the value they are paying for.
* im not saying bad or good from anything, is just my opinion and my thoughts.
Hello guys, thanks for all your answears. yes I am on budget. I can afford to buy new flagship, but I think its waste of money. And new phones doesnt have much android development support either. Lg G6 is cheap on used marked, and I have been happy with my G3 for the years I have had it.
I have also been looking on Xiaomi mi mix 2 that has 6 gb ram compared to 4 gb ram same price used. Seems like a decent phone also. But its missing wireless charging.
My G3 never had good Wireless charging. There was allot of heat made when charging, so If I used it at the same time it would crash/get to hot sometimes. So I stopped using it. Is it still the same with G6? If it is, I do not care to much about wireless charging.
Yes I am from Norway. Is H870 the norweigan model or european model? For me it is a must to open bootloader.

WAIT! European LG G6 didnt have wireless charging, if you want wireless charging you need to buy a US variant, thats only one who have it so...be cautious when buying something you didnt know about.
