Hi Folks!!!
I wanted to start a thread for potential aspirants from India interested in purchasing this amazing device!! Let us discuss prices and local availability, also if you can give a reason to move over to this device, would be a interesting to read
The product as of now is listed in SAHOLIC for 40,499 and will be available on 30th September! Anyone going for it? I myself wanted to but it through Flipkart!
Now let us fill this thread up, with the colors of India :good:
Congratulations. Lucky, you have white too unlike AT&T.
Now this is just a suggestion, you will find AT&T phones in ebay for around $575.If you do the currency conversion it is relatively cheaper. AT&T phones work 100% in India. You can sim unlock for a little price in ebay(around $2) too. All of this only if you don't care about warranty.
I will be moving from the US to India for a couple years (Delhi) this next month and plan on taking my att g2 with me, just need to find a carrier and get Sim unlock.
thinking of buying this...looks good :good:
I am anxiously waiting for the release. Flpikart has posted 42,490 for 32 GB model, and 40,490 for 16 GB. Other websites are quoting 40,390 for 32 GB model.... I don't understand why the escalated price on flipkart!!!
Flipkart is always expensive as compared to other website

Hmmm Looks like not many are interested to buy this AMAZING device from India, it is majorly due to poor advertisement by LG.
Its getting launched tomorrow, i want the 32gb version because i dont want to later regret not having enough space. Price is 43k, i think we should wait a month to see if they reduce price.

Most people go by brand rather than actually check out specs and features, i on the other hand dont give a crap about brand as long as the phone delivers.
But yeah the advertisement has been poor...i dont think ive seen its ad on tv yet
Im quiet interested in this phone. But 40k for a LG phone seems a heavy price to pay considering how many issues i have had with my previous LG phone (nexus 4).. Though i had it shipped from the Uk and had no warranty what so ever the screen cracked twice and the charging port malfunctioned once.. I ended up paying a lot for a 'cheap' Nexus phone. WIll wait for the early adopters to post reviews and will wait for a price drop as well.. And with the nexus 5 around the corner i would advice to wait and watch till you drop your money on this speck heavy phone.

Even I had Nexus 4, and i guess was lucky, i dropped the phone couple of times, and there were no cracks or anything as such. But now I sold my Nexus 4 and anxiously waiting for lg g2.
Nexus 5 has a 5" screen and 2300 mah battery.. so i think would be going with G2.
Its out in India.. Prices in showrooms for 32 Gigs is Rs40490.
Amazing Device.

It Will get KITKAT but not by stock rom. Bet Even 100 if you want. Get it " G2 Will Not get any KitKat in next one Year of Launch". After that even update won't matter to G2 buyers.
I have Experience: My G Pro haven't got a single update in last 3 monthsas its still at 4.1. Even when there is 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3 & Kitkat in waiting. ( Would Have never bought LG but couldn't reject the gift )
About invest lot of software engineer at korea : They all are *u**ing LG big time. CM with few great people can hold for great no. of devices but OEM suc*s big time.
After This You want to invest in LG junk """" Most Welcome, its Your Money """""
Guys what do you think, do you think it is better to buy LG optimus G pro than G2, what are your thoughts on this?

LGOG's big brother is coming out really soon! Anyone plan on getting?
I was tempted, but 5.5 inches is just too large for me, even if I needed a new tablet-like device. Then again, I thought the OG was large for a phone when I got it.
That huge battery though...
I like my OG like I like my beer: Liquid Smooth!
I got the Optimus only because of its similarity with nexus 4. I'll pass on the lgog pro.
Sent from my Optimexus.
Damn thing seems so good.
But I am afraid it might lack in its popularity in terms of development.
I am a Korean and OG Pro has been a great success. A lot of people actually prefer buying OG Pro over waiting for SG4!
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
I am waiting for it to drop next Friday so I can check it out in person then decide which phone I am getting. Leaning towards to OG Pro for the size, internal storage and overall features. The S4 is nice, but no 32GB yet, and reports of lag due to TW UX. I like Samsung and have not used an LG Android phone yet so I have no experience with updates.
Now I see the OG shipped in November 2012, and got JB 4.1.2 in March so that is promising, and does that mean the OG Pro would see 4.2.x in say September or such time frame? Before the GN3 arrive for another "push" in sales.

I am interested in seeing the Pro hardware.. If it gets CM10.1 I will probably Swappa it out with my Optimus G..
The only reason we got bootloader unlocked so quickly is because of similarity to n4. Don't get all excited about aosp near release of og pro

so tempting...550 outright...must resist...other than the no AOSP arguement...please try to discourage me
While I love this device, I will not jump ship to the Optimus G Pro. I do love the 5.5 inch display and just waiting to see what the Note 3 has to offer, i'd like to give a Samsung device a chance.
im on the htc one right now, had a nexus 4,
i like the skin on the pro, very nice compared to sense and touchwiz.

Well I paid retail so if in 5-6 months GN3 looks hot I can use my upgrade and get it, but for now the OG Pro will do for me. The GN3 would have to be really better in all respects, RAM, storage (usable STORAGE) and come with 32GB or more of usable storage.
I like Samsung but given how much stuff they are loading into their devices and the way the internal storage is being used up I have concerns, BUT, I still like their hardware. I hope the GN3 is a Snap Dragon 800 processor.

Gonna stick with the LGOG. The OGP is a little too big, it won't fit in a pocket. I feel like id drop too easily, I'm also suspicious about support for the device, like the post above me says. The OG is perfect. I can't wait till A new version of android so I can get my hands on a ROM
Sent from my Optimus G using xda premium
As mentioned by someone else, it never hit me that we only have ROMs because LGOG is so similar to Nexus4. We shall see what the Note 3 has to offer i guess. Thanks for your feedback guys
decided to never own a samsung device again.
lgogp seems like a solid device. cant wait to get the shipping email tomorrow!
I'm thinking about getting the pro as well, but am concerned at the amount of devs to support it. I might hold out to see if it picks up any traction

I really don't understand this move by LG (if correct). They are just killing the G2.
According to a believable source, the Nexus 5 is going to have two variants, while the more expensive one ($399) will have 32GB, and, get this, a 3000mah battery !!
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57606477-94/nexus-5-16gb-version-reportedly-will-sell-for-$299/
Why, on earth, should anyone prefer the G2 under these circumstances ?
We still have several days to ditch our G2, before it loses its value...
My only question is then, why did LG made such a big issue out of the G2, if two months later they are giving almost same hardware for 60% the price...
I doubt that the 32GB version will have a 3000mAh battery.
The N5 16GB was listed for 350$ earlier today in the PlayStore.

It's a subsidized price from Google, not LG. Google will take hit on every hardware sold and make up for it in the long term from play store purchases. This is how the Console industry has been working, PS3 and Xbox were sold at loss, but profit was made out of software.
32 GB G2 will settle for a price around 500$, price of Nexus 5 will stay the same for the life cycle. Also G2 has a better camera, IR blaster, 3000 mAh Battery is still not confirmed for 32 GB model, it is a rumour.
I would still buy G2 over Nexus 5, because stock android sucks.
If the Nexus 5 is going to have a 3000mah varient, the G2 will never have a developer community. In that case I think we should all switch to the Nexus 5, we'll earn money (if we sell the G2 soon), have normal volume/power buttons, and the best developer community one could imagine. What will we be sacrificing ? 0.2 inch in screen size, and several megapixels in camera ? that really doesn't cut it.

Don't get you.... An old article as a proof to rumors?
As someone above posted the Cheaper one will go for 349 dollars. That means for me 349 euro. (even though our retailers will make 549 from it like they always do....)
Here you can get the LG G2 460 euro. If the more expensive of the N5 will be for min 400 more like 449 euro it will be just few Euro difference.
And we still don't know how it will be. If the USB OTG function will not be working again. Lesser camera. Battery. No radio, too many unknowns.
No matter how much you compare it. Maximum the N5 value will match the G2 at least in my country.
For sure not kill it.

The question is why on earth are you still here and trolling? You only post threads to bash the G2. It's like a G2 murdered your family and now you are all pissed at it. Not every country have the low Google prices, not every carrier will get nexus 5. Please just sell your G2 so we can stop having to deal with your whining.
So what if it has 3k battery and 32gb? So does my G2. Really don't understand why that is a game changer even if it is true.

I would take the G2 instead of the Nexus 5 just for the Knock On feature (and the larger screen comes second). I can't believe how useful that feature is to me. I also use the FM Radio and IR remote every day. I also don't want to wait again for months until the Nexus 5 is in stock, etc. I barely got the Nexus 4 three months after release, first waiting for it to be in stock, then finding a reasonably fast and secure way to import it to my country. No thanks.
As for the software, I won't go back to the stock Android limitations like not being able to set different sound volumes for calls and notifications.
Kit Kat 4.4 will be available for the G2 very soon, probably a few weeks from the Nexus 5 launch. But I just don't care anymore what Android version my phone has. The last few versions have been sufficiently good as to not care which one I am running.
I'm wondering if the Nexus 5 has anything to do with the Sprint G2 being delayed a little? Maybe Google told them to kick the Nexus 5 production into high gear, so they don't have the same shortages as every other device launch in the past?

Seriously?
I have now owned the G2 for only 2 weeks and it has been out for nearly 7 months. I have never been more excited about a phone since owning a Note 2...
I have owned 5 devices (Note 2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Moto G, Optimus G, Galaxy Nexus - in no particular order.) in the past year and none of them have ever gave me the wow factor that the G2 has given. I believe I will own the G2 until it be breaks...
With this year's release of new flagship devices, do you find yourself wanting to upgrade?
The point of this thread is to ask you guys, "do you always upgrade to the next best thing, or do you use your device til it breaks.?"
This is the first time I have felt that a device will suffice for the next few years...

I really haven't been this amazed by a phone that's for sure...Just like you I have owed many phones this one has impressed me in every category.I believe I will keep or try to at least for 2 years.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I usually keep my smartphone for at least 2 years because that's the time you're usually bound to your carriers contract over here in germany, after that you can get discounts on new phones if you prolong your contract
I wouldn't exactly say i'm a smartphone nerd although i like to play with custom roms and stuff but i was really excited to get the G2.
I had the old galaxy S Plus before the G2 and of course that's a huge difference. But the only thing i really needed the G2 for was the better camera and gaming performance, for everything else the S Plus with CM 10.2 was good enough for me and my wife is still using it.
I guess i'll keep the G2 for at least 2 years because i can hardly find anything i don't like about it except no sd slot and no changeable battery but i don't really need that since i got the 32 GB version and the battery life is good (if you don't play game a lot that is).
Looking forward to the G3, should qualify for a Jump upgrade by the time T-Mobile gets it

Sent from the LG G2
I'm satisfied with G2 too. Maybe the 1st device I didn't try to root & install custom rom the moment I bought it. I used to be attached to Samsung phones so G2 is the 1st break for me. Well, I'm glad I made the break!
About not changing the phone, well that depends on how LG rolls out updates in future. I might just get fed up & change to other brand if support for update is scarce like now.
Sent from my LG-D802
Tbh the G2 is still the best phone on the market, including the HTC M8 and SGS5. There really is no reason to change unless you simply want to. Nothing that has come out this year is worth any out of pocket expense. Perhaps when the Note 4 is released this fall, then maybe.. if you like Samsung. Even then, I think we have reached a temporary lull in smartphones where anything new is a very, very slight improvement. I wouldn't switch until something blows me away, and nothing so far has.
As crazy as this may sound to some I honestly dont know how anyone can
A) have only one device at a time
B) hang onto to it without at least upgrading to something else after some time.
I bought 5 devices in 2013 all of them outright...still have 3 of them (G2, Note 3, S4)..and so far this year these have my attention:
G3
G flex (if it had sd card support id have it already)
G pro 2
Z2
and thats so far and its not even april yet lol..probably end up with 3 or more new ones this year even though I had wanted to slow down a bit...but whats a guy to do lol?
Theres guys who go through alot more devices than me around here though...u know who you are!

Second one yes...I get that part...everyone has different levels of what they can afford, absolutely.
I am very fortunate that i am able to support my hobbies..I dont ever lose sight of that.

I don't regret selling my note 2 xD I just miss the 9300Mah battery I had, that thing could last for days even with my heavy usage.

Oooh, so Mother Nature needs a favor?! Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys! Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she’s losing. Well I say ‘hard cheese.’

I also go through phones very quickly but I have never owned more than one at a time. I just enjoy a change every now and then, sold my note 2 for the LG G2 and now I'm looking at selling the LG G2 for a HTC one M8 or just buying the device to use alongside my LG G2 since I'm not sure if i could let this phone go xD.

I hope so because I am not sure my wallet could take me buying the M8 but temptation always get the better of me >.<
Just got a G2 today. Since I immediately installed SlimKat on it, it's pretty much identical to the Nexus 4 its replacing but with a bigger screen and better camera. Progress marches on. Before that I had a One X running AOKP and before that a Motorola Atrix running CM10. As Android gets better, the hardware it's running on seems to matter less and less with each new phone for me... The G2 is nice though. Battery life and the contrastier LCD really swung it for me vs. the Nexus 5. The only thing I don't like is that it looks sorta Samsung-ish... And I have an irrational hatred of Samsung.

I got the G2 a few weeks ago because I dropped my S4 and the screen shattered. I used my son's upgrade, so I can still get the G3 in a few months I'll give him the G2 when it does.
Neither S5 nor M8 is attractive enough for me to upgrade from my G2. The only regret I have, since I just bought it 3 weeks ago is how I missed the buzz of One Plus One. Had I known it earlier, I might will wait for its release before buying this monster. LG did well with this phone and I wonder why the demand for G2 is quite low. It's a well rounded device and cost me less than an S4 here in my country (we don't have carrier contracts here and purchase the phone outright).

This looks cool if it's going to be available to current G3 owners as well.. I tried the Samsung one and that was surprisingly good on the Note 4s screen.. Would like to see how this compares to our G3 freebie.. *allegedly* anyways lol
Sounds interesting. Thanks for the heads-up. Now we just wait to find out "select markets" means 'not me' lol.
I'll just be happy to get lollipop lol
Interesting... Does it mean that VR will be released for free only for new owners (means, for those who will buy new device???)
I would hope not, quite a lot of people who just bought one, mine was only bought 5 months ago tops. Whats nice is that this is a cheap headset. Just saw a video about Mattel releasing a new Viewmaster that uses this Google Cardboard tech, its only going to run $30 at retail when it hits this fall and uses whatever phone you throw in there pretty much. So I'm hoping LG just lets us apply to get one

It can probably be pulled off. We got retro'd for the extra battery when it came available. Pretty sure someone will post on it.
I was just wondering what are all of your stories with the desire 610? was it recommended by a friend?
Personally I spent an hour on the phone with an AT&T Rep. I first asked for advice on what android phone to buy, the Rep said "buy the S6 Edge+. its the best android phone period." after four different *EXPENSIVE* recommendations (LG G4, S6, iPhone 6, HTC one M9) the rep was like "ok you want a cheap phone? get the Desire 610." after about a day of reading/watching reviews I bought the phone. every review i saw failed to mention that the MOTO E is also at a low price and is better than this phone (a friend has the MOTO E). so what convinced you to buy this phone?
Why I chose the Desire 610
I originally thought it would be a great idea, like those times you write a really important paper and it sounds good, but the next day you present it in front of many people and as you read it, you wonder what you were thinking and if you were even completely sane at the time. I was at an AT&T store in Oregon and thought "oh great, no tax, ill just get a new phone!!". Buuuuut unlike you, I didnt talk with a representative, I just thought "ohh it looks nice, and stuff so desire 610, i choose you". When I took it home, I realized why it wasnt on demo mode... It couldnt handle it... with about 1gig of ram, less than 4gb of free space, and a bootloader thats a pain in the rear to unlock plus, I had to port a custom rom (as there wasnt one at all), i decided to promptly do research... on the perfect phone for me. I was happy with my sony xperia tl lt30at, more so than with the quad core 610... and it was a dual core!!! I finally decided to settle with the oneplus one, and that is what I am rockin right now . LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Highly recommended!
I was a total phone noob. Like TOTALLY! I came from a BlackBerry Bold 9780. I wanted to upgrade. I bought the 610 from best buy and they activated it on att. When I saw the desire 610 on ATT's website, I was like "ooooohhhh". So at best buy, they said the 610 was not there yet. They offered me the new one m8!!!!!!! Like I said, I did not know anything about it, and thinking the 610 was top of the line, I refused. That was the dumbest decision of my life. Haha. The phone seemed snappy, but soon, it was absolute ****. Low space, lag, etc. I rooted and waited for a ROM. Around a year later (I think) slimkat came out and I installed it. Was loving it, but it was buggy. Then MiniBlu's cm11 came out and I was saved. I still wanna upgrade terribly though. Im looking at the G3. Around $190 eBay new. I'm considering using my sisters s3. It outperforms this phone is every way(maybe not battery life. Hah).

yup that bootloader is a pain. thats why i kept the Unlock_code.bin file. The oneplus one is nice, but sadly its an unlocked phone. and paying $23 per month for 30 months is a better option than paying 400 upfront. at least thats my preference. plus AT&T Next upgrade options do discount a fair bit of the price. My next upgrade is probably going to be either the LG V10 or the Galaxy S6 Edge. they are both really nice and speedy phones, but they lack ROMs. sadly as unlocked/switching carriers is not an option for me, I have to go with one of those. but the V10 does look nice.

Naw, at&t still thinks I'm on my a3ul, so I'm paying just for the regular plan of 10 gigs a month plus unlimited text and call + text internationally. Every time I show up at the at&t store, I just put the sim I'm my desire and have the opo in my back pocket ?.
I choose it because the moto g is not available in my country and i dont lke samsung or blu other brand u get easily and was not gonna send a couple months pay on an iphone.
BTW bootoader is very easy to unlock using windriod.. Using my 610 with cm 11

instead of the LG G3 wait for the G5 release where the G4 will have a price reduction. anyways I preffer the V10 over both. but given those choices I would say the G4 is good. nearly the same specs as the V10

Im going to upgrade this summer. I'm waiting for the G5 release so I can compare my options by price/features. and looks. If the G5 is anything like the rumors I think it will look terrible. Hope that LG will use the design of the V10 on the G5. that would look so much better in my opinion.

Ohh man those are worse than the s6... how do phone manufacturers not realise that if u put ur phone down its either on the screen ( nobody wants that ) or on the back, and when the cam and everything is sticking out it gets killed by the table... I understand hat hose are rumor pics, but the fact that people would consider that is just sad...
I bought it because the moto E and moto G had been sold out. I don't regret getting this phone since it only cost me a dollar, I mainly use it for playing music now since the internal DAC is actually pretty stable for a low end device.
I found mine on a shelf at walmart with no passcode. I had been on a flip phone since my iphone 4 broke in 2012. The 610 was a nice upgrade. Not sure why people would have a smart phone with no passcode. Logged into their facebook an' evrthang. Then leave it on a shelf in walmart.
$54 with LTE, AptX, 128GB microSD
best option under my contract
It was the best option under the contract I had with EE UK and I don't regret. It cost me £10 and two years contract; got it one and a half year ago. Now, after rooting and trying several custom roms, I found an HTC stock rom that give me a few extra possibilities. Quality of music player and camera is very good, and I minimized the issue of the low memory with link2sd and external sd.
Good money value
I had a HTC One S and it served my very well for 4 years, i didnt really want to replace it, but battery started getting weak. So i started looking. I didnt have the money to buy a high end phone again, but i got used to htc Sense.
So i stumbled upon the Desire 610 on ebay for just 49€. I just had to buy it.
Until now i am quite happy about it. The screen is a bit dissapointing, when you are used to the AMOLED from the One S.
But everything is now fresh and snappy.
Another Advantage of the plastic made 610 is the low SAR-Value of 0,3.
The Aluminum Unibody of the One S gives you high quality but also high radiaton.
I originally bought this phone becuase it had decent specs for what i could afford and its media ability was far above the others in my price range. though i hadnt done my research when i first purchased it and was sad to find no support for a while. though i can say it was a good phone. and now that it has some support i still have fun trying to brick it now and again!(though my daily is now a nexus)
