I know both are the same Android platform, however, I’d like to know which HTC model phone is as “exactly” the same as the “G2” with the CDMA radio. (Not GSM)
Exact same hi-cap batteries and battery covers, holsters, cases etc. Is there such a thing?
My reason? …moving from TMO to Sprint after 14 years. A CDMA version of the Desire Z/G2 would be nice, if HTC makes one that is a mirror image in CDMA radio format.
Thanks for any input,

I'm looking into picking up a G3, and I'd like to use it on GSM networks in the US. T-Mobile, maybe AT&T at some point. I'm unfamiliar with G3 hardware, so I'm wondering if either the T-Mobile or AT&T variant have more compatibility than the other, so I know which one is generally preferred to get.
Thanks!
Nobody?
Get D855. It is international. It will work with GSM network.
Hi guys!
So I've had my G3 for 4 months now and I love it. I want to start flashing some new ROMs on it but I have a few questions.
I own a Verizon LG, so the VS985. However, I use it in Canada on FIdo (Rogers) Network.
Now my question is, what ROMs are safe for me to flash outside of the VS985 base ROMs?
The reason I ask is because I noticed one of the main reasons VZW users don't flash D855 ROMs is because of the connectivity issues with the CDMA radio.
So I guess my question is, if I've got no use for the CDMA radio anyway, is it safe for me to flash international ROMs on a VS985? I'm hoping someone experienced with developing on these devices can answer this (i.e what's the difference when a ROM is made specifically for VS985, like how Cloudy uploads patches specifically for the CDMA versions for VZW and Sprint).
Thanks guys!
Bump anyone ??

Hi Guys,
I am willing to buy a mid-range smartphone. I have some options like Moto G, Honor 5X, One Plus X etc. But, I want to go with the LG G3 to try my luck., as It'll be upgraded to Marshmallow. I am not sure if I am doing the right thing or not. I need your experienced advice on that.
But, I also can see there are several models of LG G3 here in US:
LG G3 D855 - International Version
LG G3 D851 - T-mobile, US
LG G3 D850 - AT&T, US
LG G3 LS990 - Sprint, US
LG G3 VS985 - Verizon, US
I would like to use it both inside and outside of US. So, if I buy the International version, will I get the 4G LTE support in US? Can I root it and install Custom ROMS in it? Because, I googled it, and I saw, Only, T-mobile version comes with Unlocked Boot-loader. Is it true?
Please, let me know, And, it would be great, if you suggest me some better place to buy this phone online. Thanks in advance.

Check gsm lte bands are listed there for each model. Although the international model has the most custom rom support and has an fm radio. And nop there are no bootloader issues with the g3.

Thanks I think I'll go with the International version.
beware of fake D855s and you will not get LTE coverage, at least with AT&T. For these reasons I went with the 851. Good luck
No LTE on the d855 in the USA. Although it really is the best version to go with, be aware of that. In the USA at least, you'll mostly run on HDSAP+ which really is fast enough for a mobile in my opinion. (Usually from 7 to 21 Mb/s)
hi am thinking of getting a G4 . i already have G2. so in g2 some variants have less support for roms.. is it the same for G4.?
