I know Verizon has confirmed a release date of online orders on 7/10 for the LG G3, but what variant will they be selling?
I've been looking for this info, too, but no one seems to know yet. I've even spoken to Customer service on the phone, and they're like, "The iPhone6 is coming...durr."
This is the big question for me. I will be very disappointed if they go with the 2gb version and only 16gb, it won't be the end of the world because I am really impressed with the design of the phone overall. But if another carrier like Sprint or T-Mobile will carry the higher spec version, then I would seriously consider switching . . . I loved LG back when they made flip phones and this phone is drawing me back to them.
Also waiting with bated breath for this phone and hoping for the 3GB model. And also was a big fan of the LG flip phones, not to mention having a kitchen full of new LG appliances and my wife's old but sturdy Optimus L9. I will finally allow my Blackberry to be torn from my hand....
I am not sure why this information is being held so tightly to the chest. Specs/Pricing, etc. should be released so that people who truly want the device can maybe prepare a little bit for the rollout. Also hoping that Verizon releases more than the standard Black and White versions of this phone. At the very least, maybe add the gray/silver. And if they are, tell us when so I don't go and buy a phone that I want having to settle for a particluar color. Same with the specs, don't release a 16gb/2g version and a month later drop the 32gb/3g on us. Tell us if you are.
I don't think that verizon will be offering the 2GB variant, as they would not let such an obvious spec be lacking. Big red is, after all, if nothing else competitive as Sh*t. Though even if they do, I hear it doesn't make that big of a difference. The real issue would be only having 16GB memory.
More than likely it'll be the higher end model.
Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T are all selling that model only.
I'm certainly hoping for the 3Gb RAM/32Gb ROM version too, but how would only 16Gb ROM be a "real issue?"...it has an SD slot with up to 128Gb capacity.
I prefer not using apps2sd. There's a lot of things that it causes problems for(One of the reasons why Google themselves removed their code for it). Right now my apps I install take up 19.2GB, and with the way Google changed how the OS interacts with the SD card it's not as good as it used to be. You have to modify the OS to make it like it was before.
You make a good point (particularly for Kit Kat users). I too am disappointed with how Google changed the interaction with the SD card...security was a factor as well.
It sounds like you've got quite a high amount of apps (or games with significant file sizes) installed. I have at least 72 downloaded apps (which excludes OS and preinstalled apps) which takes up less than 7GB.
Let's keep our fingers crossed for the hi-end version...the suspense is killing me.
It will be the upper end one. I think Verizon knows that all their competitors are offering ONLY the higher end one.
6 days before launch date, and no information. T-Mobile at least publicly stated they would be carrying the 32GB variant. This is really pathetic customer service and awareness.
Verizon Wirleess will offer the LG G3 with 3GB RAM / 32GB Storage. http://www.mylgphones.com/verizon-wireless-lg-g3-to-feature-3gb-ram-confirmed.html
Good find! Thanks for sharing!
AT&T is selling it right now. Online purchase only.
The LG G3 - Metallic Black
I saw that. You can even order from Best Buy (AT&T). Still, not a peep from Verizon.
Maybe VZW is in the process of loading it with crapware, excuse me, is loading it with bloatware.
Of the latest phones out there, this one piqued my interest. The 3gb ram/32gb one i should say. Along with the 3gb of ram, which in my opinion every new smartphone coming out after today is supposed to have. It also has an easily removable battery and an expansion slot.
My last phone was the LG Env Touch. I really liked that phone. Nice voice/call quality on that phone. And the removable battery and the expansion slot helped too. Too bad it didn't have wifi or i'd still be using it.
I'll see. My contract expires Dec. '14 so i have time to decide.
It appears Best Buy is selling only the 16GB version because their website advertises 2 G3's for $199 unless both variants are the same price. Where are you Verizon?!?!
The G2s were priced cheaper than the other flagships. I could see LG doing the same thing with the G3.
Spec-wise I am with you. Size-wise I am not sure. I definitely won't pre order. I will have to get my hands on it to see how the size is. I don't really want a phablet-range phone. I know they created a big screen with the slim bezels, but it is still a tall device. Continuing with the double tap on/off will help. I like some of the new features, but wished they would have added water resistance to it.
It's slightly smaller but thicker than the Note 3. Reason being is the bezels. If you have a problem with the Note 3 then you'll have a problem with the G3. With the G3 being rounded it isn't as bad as the Note 3.
I live in South Korea. I have an LG G Pro2 (F350) and I'm very familiar with the G3. I almost bought it but opted for the less expensive model because the specs are so close and the benchmarks are nearly identical. Because the G3 is pushing a quad HD screen the small bump in processing speed from the 2.26Ghz to the 2.6 is all lost in running that screen. The screen is smaller than the G Pro 2 as well. But, the whole reason these phones, both the G Pro 2 and the G3 scream is because of the 3 gigs of RAM. Storage space is not important since there is an SD expansion slot, but to keep this phone running at optimal speeds with all the memory resident programs, 3 gigs of RAM are essential. If Verizon reduces the memory to two gigs they are robbing you of the maximum performance this phone can deliver, because RAM is just as essential to speed as the number of Ghz in the processor. If you can order the international version from a reseller on Amazon and own your phone outright. Register it with T-mobile since they have begun a Bring Your Own Device pricing system. You'll get a faster phone and a lower monthly bill by doing so.
