[Q] LG G3 Dual Sim Variants

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)

Galaxy S9 LTE support

Hey guys, currently live in the UK and am looking to purchase the S9, the model that catches my eye is the SM-G965FD*(Asian Model) as I've read the dual sum variant supports dual sim LTE/4G (Both sims can connect to 4G) and hopefully this is simultaneous like the Mate 10 Pro is.
Now I have a question, I know the phone will work on 4G here as I've checked the bands, but I'll be visiting Argentina soon for a month or so and I am wondering if it works there. As I've read that North and South America uses a type of LTE called AWS, I don't believe this is used in the UK or Europe.
Just wondering so I don't arrive there with a local SIM and be dissapointed. Also can someone confirm this variant does support Dual SIM 4G/LTE as the global variant is 4G/LTE in SIM slot 1 and only 3G-2G in SIM 2.
Cheers!

Not sure where to put this.

I'm in the UK. I have a Galaxy Note 10 plus that I bought recently. Unfortunately, I hadn't bothered to check if it's a dual SIM phone. Turns out, is isn't. :-/
However, I'm now seeing quite a few galaxy Note 10 plus for sale on eBay that are being advertised as dual SIM. I messaged a few of the sellers and they confirmed that it's dual SIM.
Does anyone know if this phone is being produced as a dual SIM phone in markets outside the UK? If so, would it be possible to use those phones in the UK network?

It will work if it's a gsm model or exynos processor.

only the 4G version is dual SIM, in the UK if you purchased/wanted 5G it is only ever a single SIM due to the 5G modem. so really it was a choice between dual SIM but 4G or having 5G.
I was in a way disappointed by the single SIM but it was only because after I got it I was transfering networks, but in the end I would rather 5G than the second SIM slot.

LG wing no 5G in Switzerland

Hi guys , is anyone experience no 5G network on LG wing ? I mean , even if the carrier and sim support 5G and the area is well covered , setting are not showing 5G /4G/3G ..the phone can only select 4G/3/GSM ...is there any trick or hodden feature to activate 5G bands on the phone ?

I am in China and I have spent a lot of money to get a mobile phone from abroad. ￥9000+= $1400! I can't turn on 5G, there's only 4G in the Settings, damn it! Maybe Verizon and LG won't offer any features for Chinese users, such as Volte calls. After all, I paid $1400. I'm sad.

I'm in China, I paid a high price to buy a mobile phone, but I can't turn on 5g, the Settings are only 4g, ****!

Question Gsm Bands for Europe

Hi
I bought a 11x from India and I trying to use it in the UK. The coverage is very poor due to the bands being use by India rom. Do you think there is a way to improve it.
Thank

The bands are picked by your sim card not the phone. If I stick in my AT&t sim it always uses band 4 for LTE. I have the Poco F3 global edition working in America and I have the international Samsung S10 lite working same thing band 4.

Then using the same sim .. in s21 and m11x why do I get two different data speed. My understanding was Mi11 was using a different band to s21.
