4G 16GB LG G2 €299 Groupon

kn · 08-06-2014 1:05pm #1

Very good reviews and very good price for a relatively new phone. I have been looking at it vis-a-vis the 16GB Moto G and it looks like value. Of course being 4G future proofs it and the overall specs look really good. Its £284 on Amazon or circa €370 all in when they add the extra VAT for Ireland.

I'm seriously looking at buying this.

Engadget review is fairly positive.

Seems very good value alright.
I would defo buy this before any sort of Samsung shi*e, if I didn't already have a Nexus 5

Have this phone and it's unbelievably good. Great camera, screen and the battery last for ages.

Great bargain.

galway008 · 08-06-2014 8:22pm

I agree its a great phone, only issue I have is can't get 4g on Three yet. Three haven't released/approved the upgrade for it on their network in Ireland.

very good price,anyone dealt with this seller before?will a vat receipt be issued normally?

AlanS181824 · 08-06-2014 8:43pm

Amazing price for anyone interested!

Molzer2 · 08-06-2014 8:49pm

Does anyone know how this phone compares with the refurbished I-phone 4 (€299) and I-phone4S (€329) being offered on grabone today?

mik_da_man · 08-06-2014 9:06pm

Streets ahead of both.
The 4 and 4 s are years behind it.

The LG is a great phone for the money

Not even in the same league, G2 way ahead.

Anyone with this phone find there is a long delay from taking the phone away from you ear to the screen becoming active again? Seems like the proximity sensor is very slow.

Three have rolled out 4G, including in Galway which is where you are I'm guessing.

I had an LG G2 which I sold in February and had the same issue with it. The problem is the version of the firmware on the phone has LTE disabled. The only way you are going to get it to work is to put a different ROM on it that has LTE enabled. People who have a G2 that originated outside of Europe will most likely have firmware that does have LTE enabled. It's not clear whether version of the firmware from this groupon will have LTE enabled or not?

Where do you go to or how do you buy it? The website is terrible.

r27 · 13-06-2014 9:56pm

I had visited the deal a few days ago so the page was in my history, couldn't find it when I went to look for it on the website directly first. Seens gone now and the page in my history just takes me to the groupon homepage, despite te deal saying there was 6 days left
Confusing to say the least

it's still there, click on the 'Goods' section along the top and its in there

ChriisM · 13-06-2014 11:24pm

Pity they don't have the 32gb version, the Spanish Groupon did. I'll hold out for the g3 such a beautiful phone.

It is but I could argue with you that including the price the G2 could possibly be a better phone.

Anybody receive there phone from this offer yet? Was everything ok with it?
Ordered mine last weekend but haven't got any tracking info or anything for delivery

gyro71 · 20-06-2014 7:16pm

Yeah I got mine on Tuesday, Its a great phone!! huge improvement from my iphone 4.

nedcoon · 29-07-2014 2:23pm

I got this phone recently. The charger isn't working though. It's supplied with an LG branded European power charger and a non-LG branded 3 pin adapter. The cable works but thats all. I've been tring to contact the company who supplied it through Groupon and so far they haven't been too helpful. I think it's worth buying from a bigger company you know. At least then , if there are any problems it's a lot easier to get it resolved.

ThePhilip · 29-07-2014 4:11pm

Is this offer still on? Trying to find it on Groupon

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 29-07-2014 5:40pm

I had a similar problem recently. Contact LG via the website contact form and they should send you a new charger. They will require your IMEI and S/N from the back of the phone.

Took a few days to get the charger.

Thanks ProjectMoose! I actually sent them an email about it this morning, so I'm just waiting to hear back now. Fingers crossed!

nedcoon · 29-07-2014 5:44pm

ThePhilip I'm afraid not. The last I saw about a week ago, Groupon had a deal for the Samsung Galaxy S4. Also a good buy I hear.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp · 29-07-2014 5:45pm

Yep, LG support were very good. I know your contract is with Groupon etc etc...but possibly the best and quickest option to go straight to LG as I did. Only costs them penny's to make I'm sure!

Amazon.de is having 32GB version for less than E360 including shipping and Irish VAT rate
