    Any phone is nearly better than the iphone 4s :D

    Usually there's a catch with any stock Groupon have, any catch here?
    Eg. it being a US model where 4g won't work?

    Can't find anything in the description about bands - nothing on the company's website about the phone either.

    another option is the nexus 5 . Very similar spec to lg l2.
    €305 from Amazon(spain). If there was a problem with the phone i'd rather deal with amazon than groupon.

    They are very similar phones except with the LG having a much better battery and camera.

    I'd be interested to know the bands available on this exact model? Does anyone know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭Skud


    Sent an email... waiting for a response.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭ct5amr2ig1nfhp


    48-72 hours response via email. No telephone number... hmmm. Think I'll pass.

    I bought the LG G2 last time it was up from these guys. Took about 4 working days to arrive.

    Great phone, works in Ireland. Battery lasts ages, camera is solid, 4G ready. I love it. From my own experience and reviews, it's easily in the top 2 or 3 smartphones out now. 299 is an absolute bargain.

    Couldn't tell you the bands.

    Ya I agree got it last time on Groupon. .serious phone and massive bargain at that price I think and I've had a few smartphones including Apple..only thing is I'm not sure if 4G ready I don't see lte option in network? Maybe there's a work around for this not sure

    Someone here had issues with 4G on it:

    Got a response just now:

    We are sorry. We confess we dont know.
    Maybe you should ask LG?

    Similar response. "Technology WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM Band WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900."

    The post on Groupon has been updated it now states its 4G.

    Hot deal even with the g3 out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭ct5amr2ig1nfhp


    I must say it's a terrific phone. Against the S5, I have to admit I would have gone the G2. Really lovely in the hand and rocker at the back is a really nice touch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,255 ✭✭✭Sappy404


    Seems to be gone off Groupon. I'm hoping a similarly discounted 32gb version appears.

    Its still available from here http://www.groupon.ie/deals/national-deals/gg-innovations-international-9-279/40949720

    Be quick though, it seems Groupon's website is balls and it doesn't show everything for sale.
