Hello,
i would like to get myself the G6.
But i'm not sure wether to get the H870 (European model) or the DS model?
You could count the Pros and Cons, but its more a decision of wether to root and use custom ROMs or not?
What about updates/upgrades?
Just share your opinions to help me decide! :fingers-crossed:
PS:
I don't use/need VoLTE.

It depends on what you need...
Spoiler
H870 pros:
- Updates
- Bootloader Unlock: Possible
H870DS pros:
- Quad Dac
- 64GB of internal memory
- Dual Sim
So, if you need root or like modding in general go for an European H870, if not, go for the H870DS, if you have no interests in both pros go for the one which cost less.
My vote is for H870, don't need 32GB since i don't use heavy apps and have tons of storage on my pc and use a 64GB Microsd, also don't need QuadDac or the second sim.

It's better not, the possibility of bricking are very high, also what's the point of doing this? It wouldn't allow the bootloader unlock if that was your thinking, that is an IMEI limited thing
Thank you for your answer
To answer your question I would like to have the EU version because it seems to have more update than version TWN.

In any case I wouldn't advise that, after all the H870 has 32GB only, no dual SIM and no quad dac, so even if you don't brick the phone you would have a software limited phone.
I concur. I think it's a very bad idea, not sure you could even flash it anyways. You'll get your own updates in time, why bother about that?
I got the H870, because of the unlocked bootloader
There is no reason at all to get the European version unless you really need to unlock your bootloader. The DS version is superior. I've had both. Sold the European version and got the DS and could not be happier about it. This also send signals to LG for their region crap.
The main reason to buy a h870 instead of h870ds, if you're living in Europe, is the guarantee or a lack of it on h870ds. Spending £300 or more without any guarantee is gambling.
The sellers are putting in various forms of warranties on the H870DS, most of them offering a year of "seller's warranty". Considering the price of purchase, I'd say it's pretty good. You'll probably run into less problem returning it to a seller on eBay, who wouldn't want to risk getting negative feedback, than talking to LG customer support, which in some cases seem that they couldn't care less about your faulty phone.
The Ebay sellers are located in HKG, e.g. in guarantee case you or he have/has to send it for repair to HKG. 2-4 weeks without smartphone. EBay 12 months, EU 24 months guarantee, etc...

The sellers are shipping from Ireland or the UK, and if I were ever to return it over warranty issues, that's where I'd send it.
Gr8 idea, you send to Irland, UK, France or wherever. Your dealer ships it to HKG for repair = 2-4 weeks without your phone.

Yes, I got it from ebay, because I didn't trust the shady cheap websites. Others have successfully ordered from the shady websites, so you can give it a try if you're brave enough: eglobalcentral. Although I don't see the H870 model at them right now.

Well, if you send your faulty phone to LG, you can rest assure that it'll take some time to get it back as well, since LG doesn't do any repairs themselves. Depending on the issue, the eBay seller might send you a new phone instead of shipping it to Hong Kong. As I've said before, the eBay sellers are far more sensitive to negative feedback than LG, and more commonly known to try to satisfy their buyers.
As much as I'd love to have 64 gigs and dual sim, I spent €40 extra to get the 32 gig single sim, just to be able to unlock the bootloader.
I wouldn't hesitate a second to order with eglobal to get the DS if I felt I didn't need root access.
IMO the price difference compensates for not having warranty so the extra storage and dual sim make it a no brainer.
But yeah, bought the EU version anyway.
Hi Fam,
I've just purchased an LG G6+ from Kogan if you look at the specifications it comes with 6GB of RAM, but I am wondering if this version also comes with wireless charging?
It's so difficult to find any information on this phone due to all the slightly different regional releases!
Any help would be appreciated, cheers!
G6+ has 4 GB of RAM only. It's typo on Kogan hp.
Korean version only has wireless charging.
Thank you, yeah I've managed to find a few articles that had been edited to correct the 6GB to 4GB.
Hello I'm interested in buying the LG v20 but I want the bang and Olufsen certified one, that comes with the earphones, from what I've seen in amazon it seems that the one that comes with them is the H990ds, can some of you explain to me the difference between the different models? Or which one should I get, the other one that they offer is the h910a but I've heard it comes with a lot of at&t crap, and without de b&o logo on the back
Im not 100% positive about this but The v20 comes with a DAC built in and im assuming the bang and olufsen are just the headphones that come with that particular one. All of the v20's produce amazing sound.
Hope this helps if no one else gives you an answere.

I might get a LG V20 as well. Found the H990DS from Newegg.ca, pics are showing the B&O logo, but I e-mailed the store and they told me that it doesn't come with the B&O earbuds... So don't let pics fool you...
Hi , i bought a second hand lg g6 and now i dont know where is it from... Its a dual sim 64 gb with quad dac , ice platinum , bought on eglobal
I dont know if its asian , european ( estern europe) ...
Is there some way to figure out where is it come from? In options , android veraion , security pach or someting ?
Due to your Quad DAC I guess it's an asian h870ds or something like that.
Check in your settings app, go down to About phone and check hardware info for model
Nothing about that there
Most likely H870DS

...from TWN (Taiwan), like mine. You can check the software phone settings.
V10m-TWN-XX
THANKS
When the update comes this would be one of the first to update , right ?
I wonder if it's possible to replace the stock dac of my h870 and install a quad dac and upgrade the software accordingly. When I bought it I didn't know about quad dac and I know such an operation would void the warranty. I'd like that if it's possible. Any info is good, thank you.
The best and the only way is to buy portable DAC or if you really want it to be build in then replace the phone for the US model.
