The LG G4 is supposed to come with 2 years free 100GB google drive storage. Where is it for Verizon customers? Sprint, T-Mo, AT

At the LG G4 presser, along with numerous other features that are not included in the VZW variant of the G4, it was stated that the phone would come with 2 years of free 100GB google drive storage. To date no VZW user has access to this 100GB. Sure LGs giving us a free SD card, but Google Drive is far more useful than an SD card and 100gb > 32gb.

In my opinion by failing to disclose features and specs that have been

removed, Verizon is selling me a phone that is not what I ordered. I can

understand the game, but it seems deceptive.

Yes it is deceptive if LG offers the same model number with differing features, if this is the case.

Unfortunately, LG DOES sell these devices as different model #'s which you can see at the following website.

LG G4 - Full phone specifications

Listed on this page would be the following model #'s.

Available versions: H815 (EMEA), H815TR (Turkey), H815T (Hong Kong), H815P (LATAM, South Africa), H812 (Canada), H810 (AT&T), H811 (T-Mobile), LS991 (Sprint), VS986 (Verizon), US991 (US Cellular)

It was a feature removed by Verizon. Verizon didn't advertise the cloud space as an available offer. A lot of LG.com add-ons were available that Verizon did not offer or include.

This would appear to be false advertising by LG unless they stated that some features may be carrier dependent. You should bring this up with LG, not Verizon.:smileyhappy:

I think a problem with all carriers and manufacturers is not in what they advertise, but in what they fail to mention is not an available option in one particular model number or carrier variant. LG should list what their stock model is capable of and should show a list of carriers and the features included and omitted for comparison purposes. Verizon should advertise their model the same way. I know it brings light to the limited functionality one might expect a phone to have after having visited LGs site to read up on the G4, but it's more straight forward. This goes for all manufacturers and carriers.

I am sure that is EXACTLY what Verizon does. I doubt you will find on Verizon's website ANY of the features on the G4 which are not actually available on the Verizon model, i.e. 100 GB Google Drive storage, etc... Of course Verizon is going to have the items listed which you can use on their model. I am fairly certain they will not list the features which are NOT available, not is it their responsibility to do so.

Buying a cellphone is like buying a car...different packages available from different dealers. But, even then, you get a list of standard features and each model highlights its differences.

I remember when VZW's website would give us the info, both software and hardware, on all the phones VZW was selling.

Yeah, the tech specs are lacking in detail now. It's almost like, "You don't really need to know the specifics, just know it's probably fast enough, has enough RAM, plays games, receives data." No mention of CPU and GPU models or capabilities or even links to the manufacturer of the parts. With all the differences out there, a comprehensive list would be nice, but then, if the manufacturer won't list it all, can't expect Verizon to offer more info than one might find on the products homepage. I guess I can understand most of that, but at least give the differences between yours, stock, and what makes your variant more appealing than another carrier's.

I would like to believe that Verizon/VZW knows that there's a difference between profit and greed. l would like to believe that when Verizon/VZW orders a phone without certain features and/or functions it's because they'll literally lose money.

If no money is lost. If it's a wash. Then i say. Shame on you Verizon/VZW!

May cause drowsiness, slurred speech, loose stools, death, etc.
