Man of Honour
Tim Schofield's review:
This phone looks nice but after my G4 suffering from the boot loop issue I could never recommend buying an LG phone. They're customer service was absolutely woeful, they kept on fobbing me off every time I called. I don't have the time to repeatedly chase them up and still get nowhere. I get that they were probably a bit overwhelmed with the issue but still... Luckily I had bought the phone through amazon who thankfully gave me a refund 10 months since purchase.
£650 for this knowing that I will have to put up with that if something goes wrong, no thank you. Maybe I got unlucky with which customer service reps I got put with, did anyone else have the boot loop issue and went through a similar ordeal?
The official price for this is £699. £10 MORE than the S8. Looks like LG want this to fail.
I just don't understand the pricing on this at all. Yes it looks a nice phone, but to sell in any quantity it has to be a fair whack cheaper than the s8.
LG really have no clue. A real shame.
For such a nice device it's going to be an utter utter flop. It should have been released a month before the S8 and at the very highest point an RRP of £549. Also the mystifying variation of models between regions is just shocking. Europe pay so much and get the worst deal out of all.
I had the same Boot loop problem with my G4 but managed to avoid LG's support on this one: I originally got my contract from Carphone Warehouse so I popped back to them, gave them my phone and they had it fixed and back to me after about a week. Sounds like you got unlucky having to do it directly through LG
Europe pay so much and get the worst deal out of all.
Knowing LG this phone will probably cost £360 sim free in 3/4 months time, if any of you do fancy it...
...in the end it was the wide angle camera, ...
Yeah I did see that in this thread as I skimmed through all the previous posts.Interesting. Was it this thread or another, that someone was adamant that no-one cared about the wide angle camera?
**EDIT** It was Mikeyaj in this thread, took me some time to find as he's set on my ignore list now.
The signal on the G6 is awful compared to my iPhone. It constantly drops signal and has trouble getting anything indoors.
Tbh this is a bit of a deal breaker for me as I need to do everything from the phone whereas with the iPhone I could leave it on windowsill and use iPad.
Shame as it's a great phone apart from this.
Looks like an iPhone 7 will be ordered......
