I have used All Samsung Galaxies including S4 and using HTC one currently(AT&T Model). I really liked the G2. I am very desperate to buy this phone. So this thread is mainly to share the places where you can buy this phone, coupons if any. I am looking for AT&T compatible version only since i want to take advantage of the LTE. We can share places for International Version also.
Hopefully this an Unlocked AT&T Version Pre-order($619 only):

International Version Unlocked- available right now($900).. Removable battery and Slot for Microsd card, Not compatible with AT&T LTE, works on 3G though:

Good post
Thanks for these information.
Mediamarkt in Germany lists it for 499€ http://www.mediamarkt.de/mcs/product/LG-G2-weiß,48353,464028,900020.html?langId=-3
It's the 16 gb version though. Compared to galaxy s4 which costs 519€ I'd say we are in for a very nice price like the optimus g when it came.
Where buy NY
Hello,
My girlfriend goes to NY in november, so where i can buy LG G2 cheaper?
I saw in bestbuy but, is very expensive. Here in Brasil is much more, i know, but, in amazon i found about 200 dollar less...and i want a physically store...Some Help?
I got mine on Sunday for $49 from Best Buy. First they price-matched the Amazon.com price of $99 (down from their price of $199). Then they had a promotion going with the G2 where if you traded in any old working smartphone they'd give you a $50 gift card to use towards the purchase. Couldn't pass up that deal.
So, LG opened pre-orders for the G5 in Indonesia earlier this week. First big mistake: taking too long to release the phone. The S7's been out since March 25.
Second mistake: The G5 here is the SE variant, model number H845. The SD652 has smooth CPU performance, but reportedly struggles with graphics-intensive tasks, and is a high-tier, but not flagship chip, AT best.
Third mistake: the G5 is launching here merely 300,000 IDR (~21USD) cheaper than the S7 at off-contract prices (~586 USD), which is just expensive for an LG flagship. I know plenty of people who've bought LGs in the past because of their affordable pricesm, but that ain't happening this time around. As points to compare, the G4 launched at ~623 USD, but had so many pre-order discounts, bonuses and rebates that a friend of mine secured one at ~490 USD at launch, while my dad bought the G2 at ~500 USD a week after it launched. Both of these people have told me they bought an LG over Samsung simply because the price was cheaper. Not because the LG was a better phone (which was arguably true back during the G2 days).
Last year, LG also had the unique advantage of shipping the first dual SIM flagship on the market (Indonesians go nuts over dual SIM phones because no single provider has great coverage: one comes close; it's the one I use; but they all have plenty of room for improvement), and the benefit of shipping with microSD support when Samsung had just dropped it. Samsung now has both on its S7 (not both at the same time though, not sure about LG)
Now, the general consensus is that the S7 is far and away the better phone. The G5 (SE) is shipping two months late with an inferior chipset and none of the advantages the G4 had, which already didn't do that well. All LG has is a slightly better camera, removable battery and a minor price advantage to back it up, while Samsung has name recognition, better battery life, IP68 water resistance, the most powerful mobile chip on the market, much wider availability than LG does, the support of the nation's largest carrier, a huge advertising budget and not to mention trade-up events that rack up huge lines and press coverage every so often, keeping people locked into its ecosystem. LG also had the advantage of getting Marshmallow out the door earlier than Samsung, but that's likely not gonna happen this year with it being the less widely-released SE model. Had LG at least come out with the SD820 model at the same price, my tune may have been different, but not so.
It's not that I'm hating on LG. I love the company - my first Android phone and tablet were BOTH LG-made, and I think the V10 was the best Android smartphone you could buy last year. I'm also looking forward to that phone's successor. But LG's Indonesian arm better prepare for a disappointment.
Sorry to hear that but maybe don't pull the trigger yet. LG included freebies with LG G5 in various regions, such as Cam Plus module, extra battery / cradle kit, etc. You've waited this long already. I upgraded all my family phones to LG G5, I probably would have gone with a LG G5 SE, if there was some good reasonable cost savings.

Oh I didnt wait. I pulled the trigger on the S7 in March, (correctly) assuming the G5 would cost less and that if it was the better phone, I could sell the S7 and get the G5 for only a minor extra price. That price, while a little higher than I expected, would've been OK had it shipped with the 820.

Is that the final story though, you only get the H845 ?
Wait some, they may release the H860 after which is what you want.
Samsung now has both on its S7 (not both at the same time though, not sure about LG)

The indian one is a hybrid slot, meaning either dual sim or one sim +microsd. Not as good as the G4.
This hybrid business seems to be the new trend these days. Hate how they minus things
Since my Xperia ZR got broke a while ago. I don't have any enough money to buy a good brand new smartphone. There's a shop at my place where G2s are being sold (F320 model). And that's the best one I can afford (costs around $80). Is it still worth buying G2? I don't play games on a phone. I'll only use it to check emails, listen to music, and for social media purposes. This is the best one I can afford right now and that prices of smartphones here in my country (Philippines) are inflated. All your opinions are much appreciated. Thanks you.
In my opinion it's still a great phone to have, I still have one as my daily driver (D802) and it works like a charm, even for today's standards
I would go for it
f320. Great phone. Also you can buy a second battery.
I love it.

go for D800 or D802 so you can install dorimanx kernel
I think yes. I own it from 6 months, used phone
I have used these phones in chronology

Redmi 3(bought this 2 times)
LG G2
,
it basically has the performance of a SD800, its really smooth, compared to all of my previous phones , its definitely an all rounder
-performance
-battery life
-camera( dont expect much like in its phone reviews and youll be happy)
-community ROM support(one of the best I ever had)
In my country (malaysia) , secondhand LG G2 are sold at quite a low price, around that price (80USD), the first time I researched a good phone was this and I was just shocked it having a really low price point, it really shows that people(including casuals) dont see this phone because its from the 2013 and its LG(to casuals they only know LG as appliance company lol). I was skeptic as thinking it might be a bad phone and for as little as 80usd you can get this performance im sold.
been using it for about 2 month now
I used a G2 D802 and a G2 VS980. Great phones, with a good choice of custom ROMs

Keep in mind that a 3 years old phone could have lost a third of its battery capacity. Mine did.
Definitely a good buy

Wow, they are pretty cheap there ,here in Serbia I bought mine d802 16GB for around 150$ and its beaten pretty much

I would recommend this phone. Best phone for me.
It performs like a new mid ranged device. Even better than some of them. It also has 1080p and 3000mAh so I would say it is still a good phone. I bought one for 100e used it even had foil on the side like it's new.
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.

On the edge of buying? Thinking that this is a lot of performance for $300? So what is anybody thinking ? would this be a good deal coming from a V 20 that the screen is starting to come off. so I have to start looking for something to replace it.
It does appear that the development has just about stalled out because of the locked bootloaders.

All LG V30 in the world have bootloader unlock, root and TWRP. You can buy mint on eBay for $165 - $170 right now:

If you don't need T-Mobile variant specifically (you are not a T-Mobile customer), then the LS998 V30+ or US998 V30+ are the two best choices for North America users.

Hi, I've had my V20 for a couple of years and wondering if the V30 would be a worthwhile upgrade from it? I have been looking at prices and they are relatively cheap compared to a new 2019 phone.
I would only use it with an AOSP rom as I don't like the LG software. Some of the things I don't like about the V20:
-Crappy battery life , never had more than 2-3 sot
-Speaker output is very low
-Gets hotter than hell
-Slow and sluggish even with h custom ROMs
I would get the H932 version as I have T-Mobile. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

It was worth coming to when released in 2017. But even more in 2019 now that DTS 3D stereo framework has been added. If you specifically need the T-mobile branded variant, look for the T-mobile H932 V30+ (128GB). There are a few out there. T-mobile sold them for a limited time before only selling the H932 V30 (64GB).
LG V30/V30+
* 1440P OLED (537 ppi)
* Qi wireless charging
* 3.5mm headset jack
* Quad DAC
* DTS 3D stereo (need root)
* IP68 dust/water resistance
* rear camera OIS on normal lens - plus 120 degree wide angle lens
* superfast fingerprint sensor
* 64GB (V30) or 128GB (V30+) internal storage
* microSD port for additional storage
* bootloader unlock and root
* no notch
* fantastic battery
Be sure to ready this sticky first about rooting. your V30/V30+/V30S. It also covers some information about AOSP/Lineage custom ROMs.
Thanks for all that info.
I was following the v35 thread to see how it was progressing and I'd like the ram and the newer processor but it looks like the V 30 to be able to perform brain surgery on it is way more desirable a h?
I put two offers in yesterday on two different sites for the v35 unlocked new gray and they had him listed at 3:45 and I offered 299 and both of them maybe fortunately were rejected?
So I better dig deeper into the V 30.
Thanks again for your input.

Sure. Read the XDA forum links above.
I've used this seller a few times:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-US998-128GB-Titan-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-9-10-/183795406681
Thanks for the link, I was also looking have a supplier that had new unlocked with the 128 storage 4 248.
I was wanting to make a couple comments back to you but got reading a couple links and I feel like you were holding out on us I'm really excited to see what I read. And you were commenting on that thread also it's on the the v30 thread and it's from page 157 on the high possibility of Brian/ running naked being able to unlock the bootloader !
So I'll give this link and I'm wondering for other people with the v35 I would think that this information would give them some pretty big hope?
For those that want to take a look go to the end of the thread and it's page 156+157 and read those pages for some promising news!

Now I have V30 Verizon version, and I'm waiting for V35 to compare it. V30 is great phone, only small issue which I found, that V30 has small freezes on my videos from gopro hero 6 black 4k/50fps 80mbps. And, as I read, cameras on V30 and V35 are different.
So I was on the fence but as I am seeing a little action with this phone I am now waiting to find a deal on a new v 35 unlocked I've got one location that it's right at 33999 and I waited the other day there was a eBay bucks at 13% and I was still on the fence but I'm ready to purchase it now but I'm hoping for some kind of deal? Anybody know where there's a nice gray one new unlocked 4 a good number?
I'm going to add a link to a post I just made that shows Pie is being distributed for the v35 AT&t.

2 months ago I made an offer on one of the eBay sellers to purchase new unlocked AT&t v35 4 $300.
I also made an offer to another seller of the same phone for the purchase price of 27999 and both of them rejected the offer said the price they have is what they're sticking with. So here we are two months later as prices were coming down a little bit the one that I had offered 27999 had dropped his price down to 27999 so I went ahead and bit. Screen protector case all toll I'm in for 291.

Ouch I knew the discount was coming but I didn't think the inventory would last, it was showing down to the last phone so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.
That's a good discount that would have put icing on the cake.
I have to go back and check cuz I thought I checked all the sites and now I feel better cuz I did see that deal the seller I was dealing with wasn't on the list.

Honestly i bought this phone 4 months ago for 290$.
yes price wise sounds like a great deal but camera is bad.
My Wifes HTC U11 and my Sisters Pixel 1 takes much better photos. I don't take many photos but when i needed to take one this camera was an embarrassment. I felt like i was using my old HTC M9.
pixel 2 are selling so cheap these days i would rather get that even though it has 835 and less ram.
Seller Cell2Go on amazon is selling unlocked V35 for $299. It comes in an original but open box, packed in all wraps that it is supposed to be packed, looks new to me. The only thing - there are no headphones (by design as there is no place for them in a box). Mine has manufacture date Sept 2018. Pretty cool phone, no regrets so far.
