I bought this phone in January and since then kept having problems with my signal. Most of the time I was never able to get 3G signal let alone 4G! I sent it back to LG as I wasn't able to return through Amazon.
LG returned it 2 weeks later, unable to fix it as it was rooted (original software tempered with!). This phone was supposed to be brand new but had obviously been used before...
In addition to this, it turns out the extra 4 pounds on my monthly bill came from the McAfee app installed on the phone (which can't be deleted or disabled) which is regularly sending texts to the main "centre" in the U.S.A!
I won't be buying from LG again...

This was a good phone until the screen became defective, just after the two year warranty expired - so it seems to have low quality manufacturing standards. Fading to black after a few seconds, my phone is now impossible to use - only two years and three months since I bought it. At nearly £250, this phone was sold as a premium quality device - which surely means it should last much longer than two years. This seller just referred me to LG, but LG's ‘customer service’ seems designed to damage any good relations. Instead of just dismissing my request for a repair with such a rigid application of their two year warranty limit, it would have generated more goodwill if LG simply offered to repair my phone. With this expensive but defective product and such uncaring customer service, I would not recommend these sellers or this phone.

This can be a really great phone, plenty of memory, slot of a mini SD card for more memory. The camera is great, the back camera can take amazing pictures, the front camera, whilst not quite as high res still pretty good.
Having such a large screen is actually really nice to use. there's lots of little things this phone does which are great. I really loved this phone.
After about a year of use I noticed that it started to slow down a lot. I deleted a lot of things I didn't need and moved all photos and vidoes to my computer and do so about once a week now. The phone still continued to be slow. Several months have passed, the phone over heats during general browsing. Has on one occasion deleted all my photos and videos without promoting. Often does not save images once a photo is taken. Occasionally restarts itself. Apps open slowly and often crash. Pretty sad that it is now becoming unusable.

I had this phone a while ago from the car phone warehouse. Couldn't fault it. I purchased one from this seller and iv had nothing but trouble. The phone overheats to the point that the power and volume buttons on the back are almost too hot to touch. Iv had to buy a second battery as with moderate use the one supplied doesn't last half a day. There is an extreme lag when typing / gaming. I know this product is appealing due to the price but don't bother buying it from amazon. When I contacted the seller I was instantly offered a £15 refund as this is their 'standard procedure for such complaints' which just says to me they know the phones are faulty. I rarely leave reviews but I don't want others to experience the same as this phone was a gift.

Perfect replacement for my ageing LG Nexus 4. Great value phone (£220) and will likely last me a good 2-3 years before I even consider an upgrade. The screen is crystal clear and great in the sunshine. Heavy battery use will still see you through a long day, and average useage will last for 2 days. The UI is smooth and functional, I've not needed to consider alternatives like Nova or Cyanogen as it offers a lot more than stock android. The camera produces sharp images and videos and has some neat additions like making a fist to take a selfie, or saying 'cheese' if you can't reach the volume button. I'd highly recommend a slim case like Ringke Fusion Slim as I imagine the large screen would crack if dropped on hard ground. Only minor issue so far, it makes an annoying vibrating pattern when fully charged which has woken me up once so put it on a soft surface overnight and you won't hear it! Great phone, 9/10.

A real bargain of a smartphone. Had an old Galaxy note the first model. It was getting very clunky had done a couple of factory resets but it soon slowed again. I read reviews on the latest Samsung models and was shocked to find they do not have removable batteries as I use three batteries for my note and a separate charger to save time that alone put them out of the running. I am a heavy user of my phone for all my finance;emails; texts; phone calls; searching the web plus all the apps I use. I was a bit sceptical about the reviews on the LG G3 as it was a fraction of the price of a new Samsung plus a bigger screen than my current note. Well this phone works very well takes decent pictures is snappier than my note does not have the same bloatware as Samsung and seems to do everything my note did. At first it seemed the screen was smaller but the phone is taller and narrower than the note so is easier to hold. It tethers by USB connection or by wireless to my laptop and tablet or other phones which I need a lot so as far as I can see I have saved hundreds of pounds just by changing my brand of phone. I have used this phone over the Christmas period and the only downside I can think of is simply that it is a slightly different operating system that you have to get used to but that is all part of the fun of having a new phone.

After 2 years the phones screen started flickering and then fading to black several times through the day until one day the screen just turned blue and the phone stopped working..I contacted LG and they just told me that I wasn't covered any more and things like that happens.
Luckily the phone was insured and my insurer will repair it but who knows if that wont happen again? I know that this is a common G3 problem but I don't understand why LG company doesn't do anything about it...
I don't recommend this phone.
