    They already did for Asia region, phone called "Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A Cat 6"
    It has new LTA Qualcomm chip to support mega fast Asin LTE networks up to 300mb/sec
    For this purpose CPU was also replaced from Snapdragon 801 to 805 (the latest)
    RAM updated from 2GB to 3GB and also screen was replaced on UHD like in LG G3

    They planning to bring this phone to the Europe in September to compete better with LG G3 and new (unannounced yet) iPhone 6

    The price more likly will be also like G3 ~600€

    yup think il wait a month or two to see whats what (normally wouldnt as everything advances so quickly its pointless) but 500-600 is a lot to spend on a phone and if i get the best of the best id hope for it to last 2-3 years.
    problem is this new s5 will probably not get an irish release similar to the g3
    out of interest what specs is the iphone 6 coming out with?

    have no idea about iPhone 6, im not apple fan :)
    I was using iPhone, but onc switched to Android and realise how much i was in jail with Apple products I will never go back to Apple :)

    From the Developer perspective - Apple is amazing platform to develop to, as even there are less apple products in the world comparing to Android it generate twice more revenue that Android. So it is very rewardable to develop for Apple
    But from User perspective - you have to pay and pay a lot for each single step, each single move and god help you if you want to pirat something. if in Android you just set tick in settings to allow install external *.apk files, wiht Apple u have to go trough all the pain of Jailbreak, which is not single task to complete, but require repeat on each update.
    Been there, seen that! no F. way im going back there

    Hi,
    I just got the G3, im with Meteor and 4g not on monthly package, options showing for me are GSM / WCDMA and WCDMA only - there is no lte option so is this down to my provider i.e. if i had 4g on my meteor package then would it be added to the above 3 connection options??

    The connection options on mine are GSM / WCDMA and WCDMA only. To turn on LTE you have to dial 3845#*855# and you have more options there. Yours might be different.

    Its not that big a deal. The phone is perfect other than that. Its better than having bits of the UI hang around when theyre not supposed to (right 1+1 users? :P)

    Hard to say. I have 4G on three and its not in my options list. If you add 4G to your package and it isn't added to the list you can probably still use 4G by dialing *#*#4636#*#*

    It would be worth dialing that before just to see if you can sneak it on! I really doubt it but you'd never konw. The option is in Phone information after you dial that

    as far as i know that dosent stick in the settings on the phone and the only way to gedt 4g all time is using the 4g switcher app and that resets every reboot of the phone


    also its not carrier problem i dont think as i had 4g on the G Flex with out any of this ****ing nonsence its just LG's one and only flaw that i can see

    searched for any s/w updates on Fri, took one and it mentioned one of its purposes was battery performance upgrade - SAVAGE performance since. Unplugged from wall friday evening at 4pm, now 00:01 Sunday morning and its 74%!
    In fairness I did mild surfing, couple of clips on facebook, alarm clock overnight and set screen brightness to 41% .

    This is deliberate testing just to see how much "average wear and usage" gets the battery by - Excellent so far.

    Before s/w upgrade it was pretty poor i.e. <1 day charge

    I managed to get LTE in my preferred network options. I had to change ro.telephony.default_network parameter in build.prop from 9 to 13. Had to root the phone to do it :D

    it in a nut shell brings you in to the hidden menu of the phone to toggle the network variants for 4g capability's....now in saying that you HAVE to do this everytime you reboot the phone :)
