So I found a new LG G3 (T-Mobile unlocked) on ebay and am strongly considering purchasing it. I just had my Idol 3 drown in a swamp. I loved that phone.. Anyway, I'm looking for a replacement. I'm kind of torn between the Moto G4 and the LG G3 (that I would root and install a custom ROM). What do you guys think? I would like some feedback from G3 owners. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Moto G's are nice but for the money get the G3...you won't regret
I love playing around with the IR blaster That's something that the moto (even the latest flagships except LG's) doesn't offer.
Also you might want to know that Li-Ion batteries degrade over time. Like in 2 years of use you will have only 50-70% of it when it was fresh. The G3's got removable battery so you can just buy another battery and replace it. Otherwise you'll have to pay to a service for the replacement and the battery itself (in a small country like mine you might get robbed by lets say 60$ for both). I think that you get free replacement once if the phone's got warranty (depending on the policy of the service).

Will there be a sudden price drop for lg g3 as g flex 2 with new features has already released galaxy s6 will soon get released which will make G3 look like an older phone??
I am planning to buy G3 by april.
I want to know if it is worth it to buy g3 at that time as g4 would get released soon.

check on sites like swappa and craiglist you might find a bargain .i got mine for 300 canadian new in the box.
the g4 is gonna be about double the price when it comes out unless you get it on contract
That was too cheap.
You were lucky
I saw in a local Fry's Electronics newspaper ad a couple weeks ago the G3 was $349 off-contract/unlocked. It can be found pretty cheap brand new at this point.

I hope it drops. Prices on amazon aren't too bad right now though.
Check out Expansys, most definitely UK, they usually have the g3 at cracking prices. (Where I got mine)
got mine on Saturday from ebuyer for £289 GBP. brilliant phone!

You can buy them for like £280~ brand new these days which is an absolute bargain for this phone, doubt it'll go much lower for a 1440p phone with such hardware inside.
i got mine for £300 2 months back on Ebuyer, bargain i think for a phone like this.
I'm selling my G2 guys. I bought a G4 and am awaiting it's arrival this week. I know the G4 isn't as high end as it really should have been, but I really want to try that camera out. Also, the unlocked bootloader sounds awesome.MOD EDIT: No selling/trading/buying on XDA. Use swappa.com and you may have a discreet link to sale in signature only
$229..? No offense but that's way out there. Mint condition Sprint G2's are going for less than $150 on CList. Actually got my current G2 for $100 (not the norm, but lucky me). Even brand new GSM (unlocked) models are on eBay for $189, and we all know the CDMA models usually go for less.
Good luck.
ROFL ...$229 OP.. Seriously!??! Yeah good luck with that. Greed kicking in too much here OP.
I know its more than I'll get for it. It's just a buy it now price. The reserve price is wayyyyy lower. I always throw a rather high buy it now on auctions. It has an Otterbox and ZAGG shield as well. You're right tho, I will lower the BIN to $200.
Edit: eBay wont let you adjust the buy it now

When U purchased my moto 360 I bought the two year warranty for it. Recently its been randomly turning off and the device gets extreme hot. Seeing as how the original is no longer being sold by bestbuy if I took it to be exchanged how would that work?
I'm not sure what category that would fall under on here [http://www.geeksquad.com/protection-plans/geek-squad-protection], but if you bring it into your local store, they will be able to get the process started. You can also call them at 1800 Geeksquad (1-800-433-5778) and they will be able to fully answer that for you. More than likely, they will be able to replace it with a working refurbished one.
Wish I'd seen this earlier, but this was exactly my situation. Essentially what they did was allow me use the amount I spent on the original Moto 360 (minus the warranty) towards the new Moto 360. I did have to buy a new 2 year warranty, which is more expensive, because the watch is more expensive. I paid around $130 total, and took advantage of a $50 gift card offer they were running at the time.
Bought a second had H815 w/ country code CZ & already unlocked bootloader about 3 months ago off an ebay seller. Have really fallen in love with the phone but it started the bootlooping last week. With the disappearance of any real subsidies, I like to stay MVNO (Cricket) & mid price-point on my phones after several years of premium pricing w/ Apple / AT&T.
Post-bootlooping I initially bought a hot air station & was gonna try the repair but decided against and selling for parts / repair instead. I've been reviewing phone options and just like when I opted for the G4 initially, it still appears there's no competitor overall (for the money) given requirements of awesome camera and removable SD.
In seeking the best shot at carrying me for a couple of years, my question is, if I'm moving forward with another G4, should I opt for another euro H815 from Handtec or find a late serial AT&T. I'm holding out for G5 release to see what that does to AT&T G4 prices which right now are at $462 with the H815 at Handtec around $400+ whatever shipping.. I'd like to see $300 at AT&T but then again Handtec option has 2 year warranty. With the Handtec option, is one pretty well assured of getting a very late serial (and, btw, what ARE the latest batch numbers).
Thoughts? I _REALLY_ love this phone and there doesn't seem to be another great option. Or maybe G5 but unknown performer..
Has anyone USED the EU warranty through Handtec ? Will unlocking the bootloader void it if dealing with Handtec? Flashing is less and less important to me these days..
Thanks!
I have found an almost new Moto Z Play on eBay for £238, is this still a good buy? I have a Nexus 6P and the battery is beyond bad, I wand decent performance, screen and headphone audio, plus amazing battery life. I can't find it brand new anywhere in the UK (apart from for £338 on Amazon). So would I be stupid to buy it for £238 from eBay? I've heard that the performance is deceptively good for a mid-ranger!
Thanks.

I'd say its still a good buy as a phone yes. Try looking on swappa too and see if you can get a lower price
I was in John Lewis MK and they were selling it for £260 sealed last month.
I've had a look online and no retailers have it now I think last month was pretty much the last month it was sold.
Just checked, they sell almost every moto phone but the Z play!
Let me know if you see one anywhere?
I bought mine from here and it was boxed not sealed but in excellent condition dual sim version.

I am so glad you sent that, that is the one I saw for £238. So you can vouch for them being legit? They describe it was 'like new'.
How were they to deal with?
They only have 1 left, so if you say they were fine to deal with, I'll buy it straight away!
Bro seriously buy it. Iff it is anything like the condition mine was in its a bargain mine is like brand new all youll need is a Uk shaving adapter. The company is legit.

I'm on 3 too. Thanks for your help, I'll order it now!
good luck mate let me know how you get on. I really like motorola phones because of the long battery life and amount of development they get. I previously had a lenovo p2 which is sold because of the lack of development.
Ordered. Should arrive early next week!
Should be a good replacement for my dying Nexus 6P
