How to validate a Genuine or Fake G3

Hi All, Is there any app to validate a fake/clone LG G3 ?
I will get a hands on before I buy it so whats the most fool proof way to check it's originality?
Thanks!

I would say the resolution and the dpi.
Also ask the seller if the unit has a custom rom, recovery, rooted, or whatnot. Test reboot, shutdown, calls, sms, 4g, etc

Hey! Thanks for your reply. I am assuming i should be able to tell the difference between a QHD vs the 720p's on the Clones.
But is there any app i can use ? or some more effective way to confirm ?
Thanks again!

Thanks, The storage is 8gb but emulated to show 32. so Im wondering if the DPI will be spoofed too ?
@twisted_twice - The video is good but i need some key indicators to test the phone.
The laser focus and IR blaster are always fake.. what is the best way i can test them ?

if you are allowed install this apk :CPU-Z , by the way how much is the phone?

Cool, thanks for the APK.
It's being sold by an individual.. For 20000 Rupees(USD 340)

you could also run a benchmark... Antutu will give you details and the benchmark should be between 36000-40000.

Im telling you, they can clone everything except the screen. If you see jagged or blurry icons on the screen, there is a big chance that it is fake. Walk away.

Thanks, I'm assuming it should be easy to tell a 720 vs a QHD
screen. But i doubt they will be blurry or jagged. Right? Sometimes this can be tricky if you're not comparing a device side by side. But perhaps i can test side by side my Nexus 5. Text should be equally or sharper.

are there 16gb fakes?
some one offert me a exchange for my oneplus one
for a 16gb lg g3. i wanted a 32gb, but at the end a g3 is way better than a oneplus one.
just want to be sure it can't be a fake

im planning to swap my LG g2 32gb to a Lg g3 3gb also.
does the clone/fake LG g3 runs Lollipop or Kitkat only?
sorry for my bad english.

It is reasonably easy to replicate exterior of the phone, but to make fake camera and display that would be closely similar to the original is something else.
Also, replica would have to be equipped with appropriate CPU and RAM, sensors, storage, dual flash...
Regarding software, fake G3 would have to be equipped with a a fake ROM that is almost identical to official LG ROM... Also, fake LG would not be able to get OTA updates.. Fake G3 would also have to have a knock on / off feature which is not so easy to implement..
So, it is not realistic to have fake G3 that would be hard to recognize.. If someone produce it, it would be very easy to see that it is not an original, and i there any counterfeiters that are capable to produce fake premium smartphone with all the components, usability and performance of the original, than they can made their own brand

Christ just tell us what it says under the build number in system software
You cant fake system software versions. The fake ones always have some obscure build number that immediately shows up as fake if you type it into google
Its so simple and all of you make it so complicated

i just swapped my g2 to a g3 32gb.
i think the fake ones runs Kitkat 4.4.2 (not sure)
what i did is i look at first the display panel and compared it to my xiaomi redmi 1s with 720x1920 resolution.
and i perform also some antutu benchmarks and CPU-Z.

I've investigated a little bit about those clones, and after seeing review at Youtube I am quite impressed with the quality of build (both hardware and software wise) and and also with efforts those guys actually put into making fake G3 even in small details.
So, after watching G3 clone review, some conclusions:
1. If you buying G3 online:
- It is virtually impossible to tell the difference between real and fake G3 only by looking pictures on-line
- So, if it is advertised as a genuine G3, and the price is suspiciously low, this is cause for alarm. Maybe that's not a fraud but...
2. If you can test a phone before you buy it, you can quickly determine are there some reasons for suspicion:
- Look for a IR laser range finder at the back. It is there in both cases, but with clone G3 it is not working. With original G3, blinking red light is visible while back camera is activated.
- Take a screenshot of the screen(volume down+power), and then from the gallery look for the details of captured image. LG clone has HD resolution (720x1280), while original G3 has qHD (1440x2560). Resolution of captured image matches the resolution of the screen.
Apart from this, accessories (charger, headset, usb cables) are so badly made, that is is clearly visible that they are fake.

How can I check lg g3 is original or fake? Please help me

[stock][rom][v10t][KDZ] LG G3 F400s

Hi guys.
Today i flashed my G3 with v19c lollipop and it was kind of disappointing. The performance and battery life both had a drastic fall. I went through google and many other forums on XDA and couldn't come accross v10t kitkat KDZ for F400s. Could someone direct me towards it?
Also, should i flash v20e/f (only if battery life and performance are on par with kitkat)?
Thank you.
Regards,
Ishaan

Not sure about that, but you can try installing CloudyG3 2.2 ROM. Its more stable than any of the ROMs available for this. I hope our phones are brand new phones from Korea though and not refurbished!
Mine has a LTE A at the back though seller told he was going to send F400K (which has a olleh TV branding)

New Rom or jump ship ?

hey guys, my LG g3 was just replaced under waranty and i just got a new unit.
Now i am undecided whether to just sell it and jump straight away to the G5 or s7 or whether it´s smarter to stick with it for a little longer.
Also i am wondering what the best custom Rom with ( 6.x) currently is , i have noticed there are a great many available already !

if you can get the new G5 then why not I still have my G3 because I still find it fast and have a pretty sick set up. Plus, with Fulmics ROM and G3 tweaksbox you can change anything! For it being an "old" phone the G3 still holds its ground. But then again you can't beat the new camera and better specs of the G5,hmmmm......
BTW the S7 sucks in my opinion

like what Still_living714 said, if you can get it then definitely go for it. I just jumped from Fulmics to G Plus 2.4 ROM (you should check it out if you're interested in stock lg rom with aosp look). The devs here at xda keeps me satisfied with my G3 and I'm not jumping ship anytime soon

Hmm yeah , i am kind of disapointed in the g5 because they ended the rear mounted audio buttons and i am not 100% convinced of the "modular" nature of the device.
that´s why i was concidering the s7.
but i think i´ll go with the Fulmics rom ^^

Fulmics made my g3 like a new device, really fast and stable. Only reason I switched to a nexus 6p was because the screen was so much brighter, the g3 is awesome in low light situations but poor in any kind of daylight compared to more modern displays.

LG LM-T600L - msm8996 soc, 8000mAh battery, android pie OS, dual screen

https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-v60-lmt600l-gets-certified-by-rra-in-korea.html
LG today posted the kernel source code for LM-T600L
I just noticed that there are two battery files in the folder, LMT600L_Kernel_Pie.tar\kernel\msm-4.4\arch\arm64\boot\dts\lge
one is 8000mAh battery, and another is 6000mAh battery
is it mean that LM-T600 is an upcoming tablet?
@

I heard something recently as there may be a third G8 smartphone after the arrival of G8 and G8s.
Something related with LGs idea of fold display (let's say "Dual Screen" or "Triple Screen" possibility) even though it will lack some of the futures G8 and G8s has.
Anyway, for the "LM-T600" reference, you actually have 3 : the T600, T600L and T600US and as I assume, it's well a tablet : http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=T600

lm-t600us
these devices do not have a dedicated post yet, how do i ask for one?
i picked up a NEW , but broken , ( easy fix to me ) tablet, and now i need to root it, VERIZION put TONS of crapware on these things..
-note- i will gladly switch the KDZ as i NEVER plan on using this for cellular, if it helps. (plus it seems ALL HARDWARE is the same across the mobile versions except the frequencies.
PS: if you ever take one apart, message me, as its not hard, but there is a few tips to share.

does anyone know , can i flash another KDZ to my LM600 ? (i have a VS version, but would like to flash the WIFI only KDZ )
the chipset seems to be the same across the 600's ?

LG G8s

Hello LG friends
glad to find you here.
I'm a loyal LG mobile user; once I started using them abt 10 years ago, I've never looked for another brand (except from BB for my work emails).
So, I bought the LG G8s, it's a great phone, runs smoothly, haven't had any problems whatsoever up to now (over 2 months).
3 things I don't like though, which I think I may have not found out how to have them - not sure if it's posible, but I would really love to have:
(i) in the Menu of contacts and settings, it only seems that you can see it as a 'list' ... I absolutely loved the 'tabs' my previous LG G3 had... really the 'tabs' is not available in this phone?
(ii) No LED notifications... is it really something this phone lacks?
(iii) the 2nd SIM slot can be used either as a second sim slot OR as a memory card - I really hate that (the LG G3 could use both sim slots AND a memory card)... why they keep on doing this thing?
I'm still so in love with my LG G3 dual sim (D858HK - had bought it from Singapore and a friend sent it over for me). I have had it since 2014 and NEVER-EVER run into any problems whatsoever... screen went bad though... bought another one, installed it, worked OK for a couple of months, and went bad too... then the second sim started having issues, etc... so I decided it was abt time to upgrade...
I'm quite satisfied with the G8s, but these 3 points above (especially the first 2, coz I bought the 128Gb model, so space-wise I'm ok) annoy me...
Is there a solution to the above 2 points? Maybe some software upgrade or something? I really like the 'tabs' view thing...
Thank you

I think there some DIY videos on youtube , which you can use both sims and mmc , but require some handy work , just search for "use 2 sim and memory card on g8s " on youtube and you are good to go
BTW , are you satisfied with the screen of the g8s ? and how are the cameras , are they any good?
