I really feel let down here, in the UK/EU we won't get the additional hardware features like wireless charging and DAC yet we are still having to wait to learn when we get a release. Surely it's quicker and easier to manufacture kit with less hardware in it !?!
Double whammy, if i am going to have to wait then S8 here i come.
It will be interesting to see the price in the UK, might be why we have the most basic model.
If they charge a stupid price, then it will be a much harder sell.
S8 looks like it will be a stupid price, with current £/$

Agreed it will be a hard sell if they don't get the pricing right too, but they have the perfect opportunity to steal a march on Samsung and it looks like they might miss out completely with the S8 available for pre-order 29th March in an EU region according to the source in this article...

It's an easy decision for me, because I don't like AMOLED. Although if it is priced crazily I still won't get the G6.
The P10 Plus even has my attention and I'm not a fan of Huawei. (Despite the fact most of our internet infrastructure seems to run on their kit, lol).
I think the UK version is going to be £699 I have however imported the Korean version to the UK which cost me £680 and it has the 64gb storage and the 32bit dac
@ramheer
Im curious where'd you bought it ? Searching for a solution like that for weeks now but was not able to find a retailer
I am using the UK version in blue and i love it. Couldn't care less about wireless charging or the DAC. I use Bluetooth headphones for everything

Does it have all the 4g bands for the UK?
Seriously? I was monitoring the g6 to replace my g2. But no wireless charging or dac in Europe? Too bad for LG, because I won't buy it then.
I was considering importing the Korean version but have read that LG haven't honoured warranties in the past when people have done this. Not dropping £600 on a device with that type of risk (particularly with recent LG issues)

So as per my original post thread, no thanks LG !
I cannot believe Samsung have beaten LG to it for UK release, what a missed opportunity. I have just ordered an S8 as it's shipping on 20th April (free Samsung bluetooth speaker via Carphone Warehouse). Still no sign of a LG G6 UK release date, they might as well forget it surely ??

Place I ordered it from says "then you don't have a TP2".

he responds: "It shouldn't matter" (with some hesitation).

the tmo version has a different shaped bottom than the htc unbranded one. the verdict is still out on the att&t, sprint, and verizon versions since they haen't been officially released. thats the reason this thread was created, we need to share what docks, if any, will either
a) work with our version
or
b) made specifically for our version

Hmm yeah, looks like nothing fits the T-Mobile version yet.
ckinwing, which one is that? Looks like it might not be fitted around the bottom-front, and so might potentially fit the T-Mo version?
I'm looking for something light and compact, like the iPhone cradle...
like i mentioned earlier, two mandatory requirements for me are the ability to charge a spare battery and an audio out so i can listen to my music at work while charging it. Hopefully something comes out soon or someone discovers a version that is compatible

I am in Canada and am looking for the LG quick circle case that enables PMA charging (necessary for both the AT&T model and the Canadian model to enable any kind of wireless charging). Does anyone know where I can get one? The case that Rogers sells does not have any kind of wireless charging support and just slips onto the back of the phone. I have tried looking through all of the major carriers websites and some other websites and none of them seem to support wireless charging of any form.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: A battery cover that enables PMA charging may also work since I already have a case and may be easier to find.
Amazon may have them. At any rate it can't hurt to check. EBay would also probably have them.

It snaps/hugs to the back of the battery door instead of replacing it (unlike the other variants). Model number is CCF-345N
yeah, we get screwed.. I hear there may not be *any* wireless charging accessories. I picked up a GelCase today from Robbers and gave them feedback that they NEED to get LG to bring in accessories.
If PMA gets installed on the iPhone 6 we're going to be okay as the market will follow and and accessories will be available. If iPhone 6 comes with Qi, then we're screwed.. even more.
Hopefully the Canadian owners of the G3 aren't forgotten. I'm just disappointed that we got shafted and ended up with the AT&T standard for wireless charging with no capabilities out of the box. Talk about a money grab

Oh, as Canadians… we're always forgotten; and we should expect to be disappointed, and shafted.
I know this is from a different phone and tablets, but the contents we get from Sony Z2/Z2 tablet we get in Canada is just about the worst in the world. Other countries get fancier bundles. The same goes with the G3, other countries received better G3 package (even though they could be promotional items).
But hey, we have great health-care!

Keep an eye in the model number as all lg g4 quick circle cases are numbered a certain way

I have an non offical case but it still works and i sold my g3 they are very reliable
So, whats the chances that Asus will update the Padfone X so Lollipop?
Considering the... delicate nature of the system of the device and the fact that at don't even have the latest version of KitKat, I regret to speculate little to no chance. However, most manufacturers have been working on getting the Lollipop update to their devices faster than usual, so I'd love to be proved wrong.
Asus announced that the padfone s will be upgraded to lollipop in april or March of 2015. Im sure padfone X will likely follow.
That wold be awesome if it got the lollipop upgrade... I have been dreading an even further decline in development for this device since its been pulled from most AT&T stores in the US.

That's normal. All phones have gone through that. Be glad it's AT&T and not Verizon, who takes even longer at their certification process.
And if you don't believe me, try looking at common phones such as the S4, and see how long it took between international versions and the US version for an update to release.

I have seen the "Xiaomi Mi Store" which currently has 20% off. At the moment it's just under £600 for the global version.
Currently they only have the the mi 10 global version, so I'm waiting for the Pro edition. I want to compare the price of both before committing to either.

Here is the Aliexpress link
The discount brings the phone down to $ 719.00 - 744.99 which while high, is better than the recent announcements that this phone was going to cost $999 or more!
Seriously, who would by a Xiaomi phone at that price? Especially when Xiaomi phones are always missing a lot of bands, and we already know that this one is missing bands. If Xiaomi expects premium prices then they should offer 100% of the same bands offered by Samsung, One Plus, iPhone, and Google. Because at those prices there is no excuse to short change customers on anything. Including IP ratings, HD streaming and locally available, and solid customer service. Since we know those things are not yet available, this phone will fail horribly at selling units, that is unless they drop the price.
It's disappointing to see Xiaomi, who have always been about building quality phones at a low price follow in the footsteps of Huawei and others by substantially marking up the prices.
I had planned on buying this unit but now will wait and see what happens. Keep in mind that a Snapdragon 865 is only 25 % more powerful that a Snapdragon 855. While the Snapdragon 855 is 45% more powerful than the Snapdragon 845.
Finally, there is no doubt that this is a fantastic phone. Congrats to Xiaomi for building their best phone yet. But as I mentioned it is missing the things needed to be eligible for top shelf status.
Something else to consider: The phones are definitely cheaper if ordering from China, here is the issue with that : Miui 12 will be released sooner rather than later, and the Global version of Miui has been rumored to be evolving into a very different experience from the traditional Miui.

Here is the Aliexpress link Especially when Xiaomi phones are always missing a lot of bands, and we already know that this one is missing bands. If Xiaomi expects premium prices then they should offer 100% of the same bands offered by Samsung, One Plus, iPhone, and Google.

Huge thanks for your reply, it has really helped me.
I didn't realise the global version would miss any bands (I thought that was just the Chinese version.)
I've now checked the official Xiaomi page and the global version of the mi 10 is missing 3400MHz (Band 42)
Band 42 is used by all the UK network for 5g. (Including my network 3uk)
I'm not going to spend extra money getting a 5g phone if it's got a 5g band missing.
I need to look for another phone now, shame because I loved the phone and especially the camera [emoji3525]

Are you sure, I've read good things about "Xiaomi Mi Store" and that they do ship genuine global versions.
It is listed as a global version and the global version has just been released for sale (or pre-order in Italy and Germany) on the same day.
After a little more research it appears even the Galaxy s20 ultra doesn't have 3400MHz (Band 42) either. I must be missing something here. I obviously need to do further research

In the description it's missing b20 band. If it's accurate description, that's not the global version.
I'm waiting for it to drop on Amazon Italy, Spain or Germany. Amazon Itália promised pré sales for yesterday, but it's still not available
thats a common scam from chinese sellers. they announce a phone as global, when actually its the chinese version with a global rom flashed

you will get taxed if ordering from giztop. the price will become higher than ordering it from amazon

I don't see any mention of band 42 on any network in UK, just see n78 which it has, other people in Europe have 5g working.

You are wrong. When you setup the phone you can put the language to English. How is it impossible to order?

Do it through the website and use Chrome to translate everything. After that it's a breeze

I bought it, last month, unfortunately from Japan. Didn't get a charger, no headphone, was a docomo model So-51B,missed out big time on Dual Sim and some bands. Fortunately Airtel and jio wifi calling works. Badly want the dual Sim feature, if anyone could help anyhow to achieve it would be awesome. BTW beautiful phone.
does any one who lives in india, know if any sites sent international.
Before you buy check if volte and WiFi calling work

If you have any friends or relatives at UAE, try getting it through them. I requested One of my friend at Fujairah, UAE to order a Sony Xperia 1 iii (Dual SIM, SIM Free, 12 GB RAM, 256 GB Storage, Black) from Amazon UAE (amazon ae) website for me. Even though it is not available in UAE, we got an Amazon Prime Product Listing in which Amazon UK Seller was providing International Shipping to UAE. Total Amount came up to around ₹ 92 K (Phone ₹ 85 K, Shipping and Handling ₹ 827, Import Fees Deposit ₹ 6 K). Ordered on 13 March 22 and got it delivered on 17 March 22. Genuine Product from Sony UK, came in a sealed pack, unscathed. Unboxed and confirmed that everything is fine. He will be back by this month end. Eagerly waiting to take over the dream machine.

Hopefully Volte works for you. Not many people are having success with Volte unless the phone is sold locally

Hi Hazzay ...
Am using Airtel & Jio SIMs, the major 4G players in India. VoLTE and WiFi Calling is working fluently in mY Sony Xperia 1 III (XQ-BC52).
VoLTE in Action
Initially i searched for VoLTE option in the settings but could not find it. I was like OMG. 4G Calling came to my rescue.
Jio 4G LTE with VoLTE enabled, in Action.
Airtel 4G LTE with VoLTE enabled, in Action.
WiFi Calling.
Took over the Phone from my friend on the 1st week of April. Sorry for the much delayed reply, was busy with my professional commitments.
Ohh wooow.
Did you have to do anything to get it working?
