Hello,
I been looking for the perfect LG G3 Dual Sim model in terms of Specs..
and since i found more than one model.. D856 , D857, D858 and D859
can anyone help me figure out what is are the differences among them ?
thank u
Hi
I've just ordered the D856 which for me (being based in the UK) is the better option considering that includes the LTE 800 band. I know the D858 does not include this band but I'm not entirely sure about the other two variants.

Hi c1181427,
I'm interested in getting a dual sim LG G3, also based in the UK. I'm currently on Vodafone so the D856 would be the ideal version. Can I ask where you ordered your D856 from?
Thanks in advance,

D858HK would work fine on Vodafone as well as it has band 2600 which is LTE+ used by Vodafone UK
Hi.I got mine from a website called from.ae they are based in UAE and the phone was delivered in five days.
Tbh I still haven't worked out the difference between the d856 and d858
One thing I noticed is that on mine there's barely any LG app installed (I think 2) which is surprising coming from a Samsung s4...Not sure if this is standard on LG phones or it's just this version

Hi c1181427,
Thanks for the info, I'll look into it now. Did you have to pay any customs on the phone?
Samsul,
Thanks but I live in Aberdeen, and work just outside the city. The 800mhz frequency already has poor coverage and so I don't even want to think about how little I will see 4G speeds if I am restricted to only the 2600mhz frequency. I'm not actually sure the 2600mhz frequency is in operation here anyway.

hi guys, my D856 has no LG apps pre-installed and it came with Google Play already installed. is this the case with the other dual sim variants too?
how much free RAM do you get on your G3's?

Hi guys, I bought a 858HK and it does not have the 800Mhz for 4G in UK
I also got slapped on import duty by £80
so the phone cost me £460
I am willing to sell if anyone wants it
Its a beautiful phone, very fast, the DUAL SIM is essential for work and personal and it comes with some LG apps that are much better than all my previous HTC phones
I've also had to pay £80 import duty but luckily the phone cost me a bit less
I was also hoping to get LTE 800 with my D856 (as advertized in the official LG spec sheet) but nothing...luckily LTE still works with my 3 UK SIM

Not sure if that's the case...
Got one 858HK yesterday, and so far it doesn't want to do 4G on my Vodafone UK SIM even though it does 2600MHz.
Spoken to Vodafone support and the lady who did not have much clue about the subject, could not confirm if vodafone uses both 800 and 2600, she was saying that in the UK it is only 800Mhz for LTE which is a bit odd and doesn't tie up with information provided here:
Code:
http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_UK
On the wikipedia it says "LTE Advance" any body has an idea what that is?
The other thing is that the phone could be faulty as well. Need to try the EE SIM somewhere as that should be on 1800 and 2600Mhz.......
Edit: Apparently Voda UK does 2.6GHz in big agglomerations such as London, Birmingham, Manchester.... (this is not officially confirmed)

I want to buy LG optimus G E970 from USA ebay site (my friend can get it to India)
--> cgi(dot)ebay(dot)com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350976364795#shpCntId
Will unlocked LG optimus G E970 work in India, on GSM career ? Is it dual sim, dual standby ?
Please suggest as I need to decide in 1-2 days. Also does anyone have any ebay.com coupons ?
That phone is not dual sim, it is single sim only. It works with the gsm bands 850, 900, 1800 and 1900. For hsdpa it works with 850,1900 and 2100. If any carrier in your country works with those bands then you can use it. I use it in honduras with the850 band for both gsm and hsdpa, phone is working fine.

Thanks for the reply .. I see that bandwidths supported in India are GSM - 900/1800 and HSPA - 2100, which is supported by this cell. I am ok with one sim. What does unlocked mean here ? Also can you please tell if anyone has an ebay.com or some other site coupon (USA) ?
Thanks for your help.

Unlocked means sim unlocked to use with any carrier(which is what you should get), if the phone is sim locked you would have to pay to have it unlocked(the unlock code costs about $5 on ebay. Can't help you with the coupon thing since im not in the US.
Edit: There are some good deals on ebay right now for this phone, yuo can get a used but in god condition fro $150-$190, and new one go from $200 up (plus shipping) which is an awesome deal. This phone gives great bang for buck.
I'm wondering if anyone here has a D855 variant of the G3 in Canada yet? In theory it looks like it supports the 2600 band for LTE - can anyone confirm?

LG G3 D855 LTE Does Not Work For Virgin Mobile
I bought a LG G3 D855 for use in Southern Ontario Canada with Virgin Mobile and the LTE here does not work on it if anyone has a way to make it work with LTE here that would be great
I'Ve done the *#*#4636#*#* and tryng to put the "GSM/LTE auto'" to " LTE/GSM/CDMA auto" but it doesn't work....any ideas ?
Hey everyone, as always i like to buy my phones direct from the manufacture if possible. I do this to avoid all the trivial crap like locked bootloaders, bloat etc. Im looking to buy a G4 that is "clean" without the garbage but can also support LTE in USA. Which model should we shoot for? I bought my Galaxy S6 from Samsung (SM-G920i) which i love since its "clean". Im going to be using it on AT&T in the US btw. Thank you.

Good question - I'd like to know the answer, too.
Me three? Anybody know?
Did anyone figure this out? Or at least which supports tmobile/att 3g/4g bands? Like if there is no unlocked version does the tmobile version have all att bands?

Good question. I've read that with the G4 international versions, LTE won't work on US GSM carriers, even if the LTE band is available.
But I can't say I've seen a reasonable explanation why.
The one I got from PCMag in their contest was listed in the rules as LG G4 Global Version the model # is LG-H815.
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=7996&view=1&c=lg_g4_h815_lte-a_lg_p1 lists the frequencies and its a LOT.
For comparison here it is side by side with the T-mobile G3 my wife uses http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=6272&id2=7996&id3=8045&del_id=8045
I am using mine on T-Mobile with zero issue on 4g.
As for price and availability of this model, its anyone's guess. According to the rules on the contest I entered this phone was valued at $1000 and I had to give PCMag a W9 to claim my prize so they could report the device as income.
It came with very few pre-installed apps from LG.
If anyone has any questions, fire away!

Depending on the area of the US you live the H815 will give you LTE on quite a few bands in the AT&T market. In my area OC, CA band 17 is used for LTE quite a bit and I have a Korean version of the G3 which has no issues getting LTE. I have ordered the H815 which should work fine for me, here is a list of the LTE bands it supports
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 17(700), 20(800), 28(700)

As stated from @alwayslearning my H815 from LG G4 TRIAL 4G LTE work on TMO. And no W9 requires xD and they claimed that it's cost $329 what a deal. Maybe that the Cost to LG USA MOBILE and retailed @ $1000.

Did you ordered a leather back cover color? Not a bad price for $700.
I already enjoying this phone so much absolutely no lagging UX 4.0 is awesome, the camera will blow your mind away. The Quantum HD screen really fantastic only require min. brightness when watching video at dark compare with my G3. Simply love this phone.

ordered the covers from Ebay, just search LG G4 covers, they come from South Korea and take about a week to get here. I am hoping once the phones is released in US in the next two weeks BB would have them or the LG website and you might save on shipping

Hmm...this seems like a good deal since it includes the leather back and has world wide LTE bands. I preordered the dual sim version here in the Philippines but may cancel now and pick this one up instead. More LTE bands and slightly less expensive then my preorder. One perk ordering from LG here is it includes 32gb sd card, second battery and stand alone charger but I can always buy those separately. Most important are the multiple LTE bands since I travel to states twice a year.

Yes....LG did it right this time. When I received the H815 I thought it's H+ data connection in US as expected for International version but LTE is working. So [emoji106] Lucky Goldstar.

That is way I got the 815 so I could go to Europe and still have LTE at home and the phone is unlocked
Hi all,
Thinking about picking up the G4. I do some occasional travel to Europe for work, about once a quarter. As such, I am looking at the G4 variant that will work on both sides of the Atlantic. It looks like I can pick up the International H815 that should do just fine. But being here in the States, I'd probably have to special order one.
I took a look at the specs for the AT&T H810 variant, and it says that it has the LTE bands 1, 3, 7 for Roaming. Incidentally, the band I need for my carrier in Europe is band 3.
So my question is does included hardware support band 3? Would I be able to use my Europe SIM in the phone and connect to band 3? Or does the roaming imply I can only access band 3 with my USA SIM when I am roaming in Europe?
Any insight would be helpful! Thanks!

I just ordered a brown leather 815 on eBay for 700. By the time you figure taxes and getting leather option and not having to deal with ATT sounded like a decent deal. I hope I can get the free goodies from Lg. Plus it should be here by the June 1st or so.

Provided AT&T allows you with Unlock code to use Europe SIM. I doubt.

Hi all,
I need to know the availability of the Xperia M5 Dual SiM in France (Model E5633), because in France 4G LTE use currently 800 Mhz / 1800 Mhz / 2600 Mhz bands. As i can seee, only the model E5633 hold 800 Mhz 4G band.
Others model use 850 Mhz band instead 800. It depend of the country area.
Thanks for your reply.
Available here in Finland. And while I'm somehow interested about this phone, I'd like to know if we already know if those serious problems which almost
all M5-users seem to have are only software-based(so they can be cured with updates) or from hardware, and that would mean that M5 is doomed.

I got my dual sim variant in January and havent experienced the auto shutdown problem. There has been one big update since I got it, so I reckon its been fixed.
I have a dual sim version bought in France. For the moment, I also never experienced the auto shut down problem.
