Purchase one myself for the same price from BestBuy
This is what has been reported about the update:
The LG G3 is going to sport Android 5.0 Lollipop by the end of the year, according to an LG representative for the Netherlands and Belgium cited by TechTastic. He didn't give a more specific time frame, as we suspect the company is going to make an official announcement regarding its update.

Anyone have any insider info that this beauty will be coming to Canada? In particular, Rogers? I will throw up if this becomes a Bell exclusive like the Sony Z5 did.
My Note 3 is about to retire.

FYI, I spoke to LG Canada about the V10 being released to Canada. The rep said:
"The V10 will be released here in Canada... However, there's no definite date yet and even the Canadian model number has not released yet."
If anyone has any more info, would love to hear it!
Sorry Canada, the LG V10 Ultimate phone isn't coming to you
According to Android Community, the phone isn't coming to Canada at all.
Someone spoke to a Lg Canada rep. and the reply he got was :
"Thanks, for your excitement and interest in LG and our products! Unfortunately, there aren't any plans to bring the V10 to Canada. We encourage you to check out some of other amazing phones, like our flagship LG G4".
Sadly it seems to me like LG won't bother making a model for Canada this time.
I have just spoken to customer services at LG UK asking for an update on the availability of the V10 here. What I was told amazed me. It seems that despite showing the V10 H960 on the website , the phone will definitely NOT be marketed here. The agent believes it only appears on there for "support" reasons. I told him that to me this was ridiculous, but he was adamant and said that he had only been given the news himself this morning!! He also said that if I bought one from elsewhere in Europe, it wouldn't be covered by their warranty as they couldn't be sure of obtaining any parts required. I find that equally disturbing.
I guess I'll have to wait for the G5 or risk a grey import.
so where can we get the greymarket version ie H960 ?
Spoke to two different people at LG Support UK team...both pretty much said same thing that the V10 not coming to UK, both said it was never confirmed for entry into UK market either! Display on Lg UK website is just for show
And also if buying any imported version, they wont provide any warranty for it... Disappointing move....Like Samsung did with Note 5. But think H960 variant can be imported/bought from czech rep/turkey/uae
This is a bad move by LG “ this phone would have smashed it here in the uk “ feels good to be in an exclusive club of LG V10 owners tho
I gave up hope, now that they will announce the G5 for release in April probably. I'll just wait for Samsung S7 or G5 now. My LG G3 is fine, I just wanted a finger print scanner.

Mixed signals from the LG uk support team??
http://m.gsmarena.com/newscomm-15326.php
The LG team seems more confused than the rest of us
Haven't seen any definitive confirmation of this? All I've seen is regarding the South Korean launch.
My guess is yes. In fact, I hear it will be released in the UK (exclusive to one carrier) and Germany. No sure about other countries. But since it was unveiled in Barcelona, I take that as a good sign that it will be released there.
No need to guess, there have been definite statements.
LG's UK site is showing that the UK will get the Blue and Silver colour options. Price and release date TBC.
Carphone Warehouse have confirmed to have it.

Oh, come on. OnePlus can't even figure how to get to 1440p AMOLED or Qi wireless charging.
When OnePlus decided to make a real top tier phone let me know. ZTE with their 2016 Axon 7 and upcoming 2017Axon 9 is what OnePlus pretends to be, a real contender.
Everyone knows 2017 is the Year of the Zero Bezel Phone. Even Apple knows that! And OnePlus released an iterative update when they needed something more radical. Something like the LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S 8/8+, LG V30, Samsung Note 8.
Even Apple is going zero bezel, more than 1080p with AMOLED, and adding Qi wireless charging!
ZTE will be announcing something similar in October, but with stereo speakers. And probably will be budget priced like the ZTE AXON 7.
The LG V30 will probably be my next phone, and I've already bought cases for it. But I am curious about the ZTE AXON 9...
OnePlus could have done the same thing, but they blew it. Same old same old. They easily could have released a zero bezel, 1440p AMOLED phone to beat Apple iPhone 8 or X, or whatever they're calling it. They easily could have added Qi wireless charging. Instead they released 5.5" 1080p slab with huge bezels that looks like last year's iPhone 7.

There will be several European models. Do you mean the "carrier unlocked" European model?

thank you, v30 h930 then. would really like to dissect system image of it but currently seems only system dump for sk model available.
Are there any news on Europe availability?
As I learned so far, lg is not quite up front with release updates...

Except the camera might not work as good as stock. At least this is the case with Samsung phones and LOS... And that would be a real shame because so far it looks like v30 has a superb camera for movie clips and that's the only reason I consider buying v30.

Yeah let's hope they release it soon, and that it'll be in offer for Christmas, for me is a battle between S8+ and V30, and maybe Op5T

yeah!
i was at IFA this year and i held it in my hands and it was f***ing awesome. i wanted to buy it since end of august.
in the meantime i smashed my sgs7e to pieces and i need a new phone even more. and i also wanted to wait for the new pixel to be presented and also looked at the op5/T also maybe the huawei mate 10
but in my opinion the v30 has the most complete package. in the pixel 2 you dont get dual cams no wireless charging and no headphone jack.
i think only dual front facing speakers and the pure vanilla android software do not justify the price.

For me the more important thing are dimension and fingerprint position, in v30 these are perfect, S8+ is way to big and the fingerprint is in a weird position, but it costs 250 Euros less :silly:
Hi,
Does anyone have any solid intel on a release date for Australia yet?
Cheers,
Good question. supposed to be early Nov. but who knows. I was in a Telstra store yesterday and they had no ideas (which is not uncommon )
I'm waiting for it (V30+ H930DS Dual Sim)in the Gulf region...Not a peep from them,they keep tweeting "in the coming weeks". Poor management on LG side.

I too live in the UAE, the sad thing is any dual flagship from LG never gets bootloader unlocked! Still rocking the dual sim LG G4 (LG H818P) will be a massive upgrade to LG V30! Instead of buying locally dual sim LG V30 (LG H930DS) I'll order online an LG H930 (single SIM international version) I'll enjoy root as well as an custom kernel

Well the release date has been up on LG website since 2/11/17 stating availability at JB Hi-Fi from November 16th onwards. I've contacted my local store several times and finally today they were able to tell me that I can preorder it as of yesterday, even though there's nothing yet on their website. Happy Ordering!
LG V30+ Australia
JB-HiFi
Placed my preorder at local JB-HiFi today for $1199AUD. They're still not sure if it comes with anything else like a Google Home Mini or the rumoured Beoplay H3 earphones.
After checking the press release it seems they earphones are obtained via redemption from LG after purchase.
http://www.lg.com/au/press-release/lg-gives-top-smartphone-contenders-a-run-for-their-money
still waiting too, I'll buy it at JB hi fi
Well it's been 7 days since I preordered it and 5 days since its release and I still don't have it yet. Has anyone else got one from JB hi-fi yet? My local store seem to be having a very difficult time getting it in stock.
out of stock in every jb hi fi in Gold Coast
Mine arrived Thursday. 4 days and loving it so far.

No ! Froyo is coming next week to G6
LG seems to have no love for the G6 in Europe, still being on the July Security patch clearly shows this.
Reason for this could possibly down to poor sales in Europe as the rapid drop in price since launch seems to reflect this somewhat.
Eitherway the G6 will get Oreo no doubt about that, the Asian Markets will get it first then other Market's with Europe more likely being last.
So don't be surprised if we don't see it until Spring next year at the earliest in Europe. :/

It' LGs fault that the phone is sold that bad in europe, because it's the worst version of G6 and not cheaper.
That the price is dropping that fast is a logical consequence...
If there would be better marketing (availability in stores) and support, the phone would sell much better!
Weird, I've got January 2018 security patch - much more recent than July. And, I'm in Europe too.

As far as I know January 2018 is the last security patch avaible for the H870 - I have that patch on my phone too.
Very disappointing.....we will update ....we will update....bla bla bla ....but when?
As a Canadian G6 user, I can tell LG could care less about the European market. I'm still waiting for Oreo on my device.
They keep saying they're gonna update the phone, yet they can't even give us a date for when the update is going to be released.
I know updating a phone is easier said than done, but why are they taking so goddamn long? I mean, they managed to get the V30 to Oreo within a year of its release. It can't be that difficult, can it?
I'd like to bring up the story of the forgotten LG G4 that only got Nougat in South Korea, because I think it's relevant to this. History tends to repeat itself.

When it comes to v30 there is only 2 weeks delay beetween Canada and Europe. And around 4 month between Canada and Korea. So if oreo for g6 hits Korea this month , maybe by the end of the year OTA will arive to Canada and Europe xD
