LG G2?
Ok, I'm looking for a new phone and when I come on here the advert at the top takes me to expansys.com for the lg g2..
Question is has anyone used expansys as I do fancy the lg phone and they are about the best price here in the UK without any Sissy things to worry
about.
And, anyone got a lg g2? What they like compared to a nexus 6 or HTC 816??
Cheers,
Steve

The HTC Desire 816 has just been superseded by the 820
Her indoors got an HTC Desire 62O last week and is over the moon with it from 3mobile on a 2 year contract less than she was paying for her Samsung
Ace 1 with zero up front cost. She is over the moon with it is a crackingly good bit of kit.
The 820 has a faster processor than the 620 and then camera is 13mp compared with 8mp in the 620.

I don't know about the G2, but I've just ditched my iPhone for a G3 and absolutely love it. I use my iphone as a coaster for my brew now!
I was concerned I would struggle switching from Apple to Android but found Android far more intuitive. My work iPhone feels so damn small too. LG have
made a very good phone, and for me, it's £15 a month less than the iPhone 6 on the same contract. A couple of my friends have made the same
change and love the phone.

Typing this on a g2. Also have a Sony z3 and had an iPhone 5 and galaxy note 2. G2 is the the best of all of them. To the extent where I am after
buying one for my wife too.
Right size, brilliant battery, fast, ultra configurable (never seem to find yourself thinking "why can't I change that" very
similar to nexus 5 but with bigger battery and screen.

G3 here too, best phone Ive ever had, that includes Samsungs (good but battery life crap), Iphone, apple got you by the balls unless you jailbreak.
Everything about the Phone is superb, overnight charge lasts nearly 4 days, display excellent, camera A1.

I have a lg g2 too, um and also considering getting one for the wife!
Agree with what has been said, fast, configurable, (rootable and many upgrade roms available) mega battery life(why I went for it over the nexus 5),
easily lasts a full day, if no more. (depending on your usage of course)
expansys, used them a long time ago and were fine. Still in business so must be doing something right I guess!
NB there is no sd card slot, so if you are a heavy media user, the 32gb one is useful, tho you can just plug in a OTG memory stick.. 20quid gets you a
64gb one.
mines curently running cynogenmod 12, so lollipop..

I used Expansys some years ago to buy an external GPS gadget for the wife (she's that kind of gal).
My colleague at work bought is last 2 or 3 HTC's from there too (last one, the HTC One M8, just before xmas).
So, I think you can trust the shop.
Regarding phones, I'm very happy with my OnePlus One. Half the price of an high-end but with the specs of an high-end. I read that if
you're unlucky and need support, it's a nightmare. But since in 15 years I have phones I never needed support... I decided to gamble.
Lucky so far! (knocks wood)

Unbelievable!
Just got my bonus, goes to xpansys and guess what? None left, only a white one...
DOH!
Do fancy the Oneplus One but do not trust China sellers....
I'm getting very wary of the amount of Chinese sellers disguising their websites to look like they are in the UK.

Oneplus are rapidly getting the reputation of a very poor aftersales company, there's not many failures but the hassle of getting a replacement
puts me off as well.
Having said that, my next phone will likely come from http://www.merimobiles.com/, they get consistently very good reviews. Most importantly although
they're a chinese company, they appear to have global return addresses (Ireland pops up occasionally), so much easier to return if faulty. Leave
Oneplus to make the phones, let someone else sell them!

My own one came from ebay but it turned out to be Korean and needs a complicated combination of buttons to press on it to enable 4G. Think I just got
unlucky with that and need to flash UK software on to it.

the international version didn't have 4g as an option, you had to go into the menus and enable it, frustrating. I've now moved to
cynogenmod 12 which has it all sorted.
