Hi guys.
I really don't like my Moto phone. Is anyone interested in that?
if you are wanting to sell, then go to swappa.com
Hey guys,
Just like all of us I want this phone, I haven´t got an invite yet but im patient and im sure we will all have recieved one by the end of the month.
The question I have though is if I should buy this phone now or wait for future flag ships?
I currently have the LG Optimus G, its not the newest phone but it doesnt lag and does most of the things I want it to, the main reason why I want to sell it is because I still get money for it now but in a year I wont. (Also the short battery life and bad camera - debatable)
My plan was to sell the Optimus G (on ebay they go for around 150-200€) and then buy the One with that money basically so I would have a brand new smartphone for "100€"
Is it worth it though? The One has killer specs and even though I prefer the LG3, the price blows it out of the water but with 4k screens coming etc, is it maybe worth it to stick with my Optimus G and wait until next year for some new releases?
I hope someone can help me make my decission.
Thanks guys!
Only you can make this decision, take time to read and research and form this opinion on your own as other do not know what you desire, as a similar thread already exists http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620179 - and as XDA is not a support site, this thread is closed.
Hi. My friend asked me for an advice for his next phone, since his HTC Evo 3D just broke. He would like a good (possibly Android) phone, but he cannot spend more then 250-300€ (let's say about 300$)... Keep in mind that I'm talking about unlocked phones only. I don't know which phones are both pretty good and such inexpensive. Any ideas? Thank you.

Moto G - $179, Nexus 5 - $350. I'd pay the extra $s and go for the N5 but the moto g is a very nice phone. Huge upgrade from the Evo.

Thank you for your answer, I'll tell him.
ONEPLUS is a good chioce for you, the hottest phone from china recently, 16G version goes for 284€ , fashionable appearacne and high specification can defenitely attract you,
There are 3 threads devoted to discussions about devices, please repost your question in one of these three threads: The what should I buy thread or the The Device Suggestion Thread or the The Device Comparison Thread.
Thanks!
I have a Oneplus One and I've recently started working (tomorrow) so I have money now (I'm 17), I've seen a G flex 2 for £260 grade A and that is sooooo cheap! Questions I have is how is speed, throttling and the heat of the 810? is there any tweaks for the 810 to run cooler? Hows the overall phone with signal, battery and such? My oneplus always has little bugs because of its buggy software and I'm starting to get fed up. Is the G FLEX 2 a phone i should upgrade to due to the price?

Hello.
I can not answer if that would be strict upgrade from ONE+1 as I do not have a phone yet. But for 260 for a grade (any kind) is a way too much. Especially when you can get new one cheaper. I Ordered mine yesterday with ebay 20% discount for about ~£160 delivered. Item number 351557561976. Even without discount you can have it for ~190£. That is german shop - but LG seems to have European warranty. Outside of the ebay, expansys has it for 220£. http://www.expansys.com/lg-g-flex2-16gb-black-272955/ . Not to mention Chinese sites ... but for me they are out of context.
Also remember that g flex 2 has a locked bootloader and LG is not willing to change that condition http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/bootloader-unlock-hope-t3125756 - until some miracle happens.
Thx
P
wow that was a good buy!! £160, holy moly!......i got the expansys deal at £220
op.. yeah the phone is good imo, on 5.1.1 it's very smooth. but as said above the modding scene is a bit bleak with the locked boot loader
Hehehe - yeah I know But at the same time you could buy LG G4 for about 230£ - which is imo better and more future proof device. Especially H815 model which LG blessed with unlock... Still ... I like the design of Flex... so what could I do
Hopefully I won't be disappointed.
HotUkDeals got crazy yesterday with that ebay deal - you could get up to 50£ off on single purchase.
£230? where?
got to be careful with fakes mate, plus i know im getting warranty with this phone

Hi! Thanks for the link! Did you buy from ejoker.de? I'm willing to buy this phone at the price of 250 euro, my only concern is about the store and the warranty (but I think the warranty is valid in whole europe.. Am I right?). Unfortunatly I don't speak german, so I don't know if this things are already written by the seller...
Sorry for my english and help me if you can ^_^
Cheap from Switzerland
Here in Switzerland you can get the flex for less than 250 €. http://www.mobilezone.ch/aktionen/14258-lg-g-flex-2-16gb-titan-silver?tab=outlet.
It's the LG-H955 model, free European Edition.

Thanks a lot! I'm italian... do you know if they sent items to italy?
OT/edit
there is a problem with the registration of an account... It doesn't take my telephone number, just says "wrong number"... so I cannot know if they sell in italy or not...
It should be possible. I myself am from Switzerland, but I know from people, who could order it from Germany. When you are on the page you should not hit the red button. That is for people with a contract. Hit the blue button, where it's written: "In den Warenkorb".

Hello
It was at the time of big eBay madness sale and it is not available any more I am afraid.
The cheapest I could buy G4 now with European warranty is 260£ with 10% eBay code from eBay (Italian Shop) - please search by item number 301675191176 . Check your eBay account - maybe you have some discounts available
BTW expansys took the price of g flex 2 down to 215£ now.
Mad! How do I get the discounts on the G4? is it legit or dodgy? And i seen the g flex 2 but im put off by what everyones saying about it being slow and bad battery and being the worst lg theyve had.. Id 100% go for the g4 at that price though!

Hello - Yes I bought if from ejoker.de. I was not sure about them as well - but their feedback looks rather good. You can always drop them an email to find out - they should speak english. I believe LG has european warranty - but might be mistaken. So contact LG and ejoker.de to find out.
With a Swiss shop things might get a bit more complicated. Switzerland is not part of the EU - they are only member of the European Free Trade Association . That means at first u might be forced to pay custom duties. Please google customs charges when buying from Switzerland to find out more. At second there might be a problem with warranty. So please do some googling before you spend any money.
Thx

Well that is discount I got from eBay itself - so it can not be dodgy by any means. Log in to eBay go to the "my eBay" section and scroll all the way down. There you should see if you have any discount available.
As I am a new member, my account is limited.... so no links no pictures - ugh.... anyway
thx

Yeah - I remember buying some objective 2 (amplifier) parts from Swiss shop, that there was a catch. Still contact LG and ejoker.de regarding warranty. As it is good to know those things.
Price of this phone is going down rapidly - as most likely they have a problem with pushing that phone out of the shelves. I am still confused why LG is making a fuss with boot loader. They should do whatever possible IMO to sell the old stock. It seems customers are not really interested in it - developers have their own reasons...

I think Lg should check better the Flex2 before the launch. It had a lot of problem, due to snapdragon 810 and also sw optimization.
90% of online review are bad about this smartphone and the price was too high = fail.
Then they launched the g4 with a lot better camera and that's it.
As for us, I already sent an email to ejoker.de, but I'm pretty confident that the warranty is European... even with the blocked bootloader I think that this is a good device for the price, and with a little tweaks we can bend the S810 and the battery life too
My only concern is about the 2gb of ram, but hey... 250euros!
For about 250$ it's a bargain. Most of the problems seem to have been solved with the updates (I got a new update 2 days ago!). In my country the phone never got popular. People here prefer mainstream phones. Most popular is the IPhone, followed by samsung devices. Something as exotic as the flex 2 doesn't sell well. And now, with all the new models arriving the flex 2 must leave the shells.
