Awesome news from HTC !!!
EVO 3D european version confirmed from HTC france ! even with its same name , no release date yet.
this got me very excited, how about you guys ?
check this out , the original article with HTC france twitter link
http://phandroid.com/2011/03/28/htc-france-confirms-evo-3d-will-come-to-europe/
What 3g bands do the euro phones normally work on, 850/1900?
they added it to gsmarena , here is a comparision btween the gsm and the cdma version
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3901&idPhone2=3895
900/2100 is the standard for phones for Europe/Asia.
Apparently when the GSM version of the phone was first posted on the HTC website it had the 900/AWS/2100 bands listed but that information was removed a couple of days before all the specs were taken down. Probably because of the AT&T/T-Mobile acquisition, which looks like it will end in AWS going away in the USA.

Good news!!!
I found in the european version only 1 GB of internal storage... why in the hell such a lame amount of memory instead 4GB of usa version????
I can't understand this policy of htc, and why on 2011 only 1GB of storage, I think al teast 4Gb of rom is the minimum requirement....
I don't want to experience again the lack of space for installing apps like my actual htc desire with only 120 Mb of space...
Yes, the specs for the European/Asian version listed only 1GB of storage BUT I am hoping that that may change before release since HTC have now pulled all the specifications from their worldwide website and not just the 3G frequency bands, which they pulled before.

Maybe the Sprint version has 3 GB worth of bloatware.

I don't know what's that, i tried google translate with no results.
Anyway for me 1Gb of space is a shame in2011 for a high end phone
I hope there is a simple mistake into the specs.
It's quite illogical to have same phones with different ram size.
I like that there will be a gsm version, this way the community will expand.

This is storage, not RAM and we do often see US versions of the phones with different storage, different batteries and sometimes different designs. It depends on what the carrier asks for.
Also in some phones the built in storage is actually a microSD card, which is perfect for different configurations for different markets.

Gsm version Prolly gets a fat 32gb SD card...and ours does have a hefty chunk of boosts lol
Bussin Caps from my 3D shooter
For the first time I'm concerned.
I should be getting my Rogers Optimus G tomorrow, but all the recent specification information leads me to understand that the Rogers unit and the AT&T units are not the same device ... when they are usually identical (with the exception of some minor issues).
The Rogers device appears to be far more similar with the Sprint (and Korean) designs. It DOES NOT have an SDCard slot, but the camera is only 8MB, and the Rogers device is the first in North America (perhaps the world) that will utilize the superior LTE signal (2600MHz), which should result in download speeds approaching 75+ Mbps. Yes, it also has the 700MHz spectrum, but not the somewhat slower 1700MHz frequency.
My concern, though, is with ROM development. If it's not an AT&T unit, per se, and not a Sprint unit, what can we do?
Any ideas from the experts?

Peter
If you need LTE for work maybe hold out for the HTC One X+
Edit: I guess that's not LTE actually, will I'll tell you aside from a couple issues only software so far this phone is a beast fast as hell and the build quality sends fantastic. The volume buttons rattle a little if you tap the screen hard but I think it's just cause the device is so solid.

As of now, there doesn't seem to be much going on in the dev section for the AT&T unit either. Even if the bootloader was unlocked, then what? Without devs?
I just made a similar post in the "who's got this phone" thread. The N4 comes out today, all we can do is wait and see what happens. Since it shares almost identical hardware, it shouldn't take much to port ROMs/kernels back and forth.

Porting between the two should actually be easy, I am pretty sure I have done enough cooking of my own to take up that. But with locked bootloaders there is nothing we can do for now.

I currently have the AT&T Optimus G, but am considering returning it for the Nexus 4 as I dislike the wideness and rounded sides of the AT&T variant.

I got my Optimus G this morning, and here's the model number:
LG-E971 RGS (I'm sure the RGS means Rogers)
What is the model number of the AT&T variant?

Android: 4.0.4
Baseband: APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Kernel: 3.0.21
Build: IMM76L
Software: E97110d
All appear to be the same as the AT&T version, with the exception of the Software version.

Hi Peter,
not sure if it was using the 2600MHz band at the time, but I DID have a speedtest run reaching just over 100Mb/s. Although the speed was a bit higher than my SGS3 (used the same SIM and got around 70Mb/s), a higher frequency means shorter wavelength which also means less penetrating power through walls and any other physical medium. Based on that, I'm wondering if it is truly superior.
---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------
i think Rogers, Bell, and Telus all have the same version, i.e. the E971. Unless I'm mistaken, seems the breakdown is as follows:
E973 - 32GB storage, 13MP camera
E971 - 32GB storage, 8MP camera
E970 - 16GB storage, 8MP camera, microSD slot (expandable memory)
imo, the E970 looks the best and i would also prefer the expandable storage over better camera. it is indeed a shame that rogers didn't get the AT&T variant; we, Rogers folk, seem to have gotten the worst of the bunch. I wonder if, perhaps, the E972 would be/is a 16GB version with 13MP camera.
Seriously considering getting this phone myself on Rogers.
Especially after the Nexus 4 debacle.
But the locked bootloader would mean no CM10 and that is the only thing holding me back from buying this phone.
I wonder why LG would do this.
Is there a chance that some genius developer will be able to figure out a way to unlock the bootloader without LG's blessing?

it's definitely a nice phone; i prefer the hardware over my SGS3, but HATE that the E971's storage is limited to 32GB, not even all of which is usable.

I have the TELUS version and it is E973 with 32GB storage but 8 MP rear camera.
Peter-
I'm curious how you got your phone so quickly? I reserved an E971 over a month ago, was supposedly #3 on the Reservation waitlist (Rogers PR BS, of course) and yet only received the shipping notice yesterday which means it probably won't show up in the wild west here until late next week. And yet still I've already received my E970 from Amazon Wireless in the US in TWO DAYS, and SIM-unlocked it for use on my Rogers account.
Anyways - regarding the versions and hardware revisions - YES. These are the two reasons I decided to order the E970. Because the domestic Canadian versions have no SD-card support at all, and second will have far less aftermarket support for ROMs and software. I believe GSMArena claimed the Rogers model would be E971, and Bell and Telus would be the stock 'international' E973 model which might fare slightly better.
But having talked to a Qualcomm engineer I know, he suggested that the S4 Pro is entirely software-driven for LTE configuration. So as I asked in another thread, does this mean the baseband software could be rewritten or substituted from another model to edit the LTE bands the radio operates on? ie E971->E970 or L-01E->E970?
Hmm, I simply reserved as usual ...

I did nothing special. I simply reserved the unit as usual. I was #5 on the list and it arrived at my local Rogers Plus store exactly on the day of release.
I'm in Mississauga, and I know that Rogers' warehouse is also in the GTA, so when something ships, I always get it the next day.

@amrando
Curious - does the AT&T version work with LTE on Rogers? I know it is lacking the 2600 band, but it still has the 2100. I'm considering getting the AT&T version for the exact same reason as you - expandable storage and better community support, but don't want a crippled LTE phone. Also, how/where did you get it unlocked?
Cheers
The Att version uses 700/AWS for LTE. As long as you're in a 700mHz area, you should be ok
I've been looking at a few spec lists and a few have listed a dual SIM option but can't confirm. Will the version available in the US have dual-SIM?
Small feature but really convenient when traveling abroad.

None of the U.S. carriers that I know of will be selling a dual-SIM variant. If you want that you will probably have to order online from another country. And only two models will have the official LG bootloader unlock, that's the "unlocked carrier" U.S. and European models. So, you will probably give forgo that bootloader unlock option if you get dual SIM variant.
According to the page below, there's a european model with Dual SIM. Not sure if it will be unlocked though (unsure if all european models will be):

V30 H930 will be the European carrier unlocked model, as far as I know. Any letters after the "H930" mean a country or carrier variant, not the "carrier unlocked".
Id be interested to know if it is Dual Sim + Dedicated SD card, or is another very annoying Hybrid sim system. (GSM Arena seems to say its a dedicated SD but no review i have read so far mention this).
Happy to look to the India/SE Asia models if they are offering such a spec?
Spoke to carphone warehouse today, who are exclusive provider in UK. The rep said they will have the h930 variety, which will be unlocked for all carriers either on contract or sim free. He said that h930 version doesn't have dual sim. Judging by that tech walls post only the 128gb plus variety will have a dual sim h930ds.
Shame I really wanted a dual sim phone that isnt a Samsung or op5

The closest option to the V30 with dual-SIM, I would say is the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2. It isn't IP68, doesn't have a quad-DAC, but it does have more RAM, is dual-SIM, and is about the same size. The screen on the Mi Mix 2 though is full HD instead of QHD though but that will mean longer battery life for the Mi Mix 2 each day.

Close as in, similar size, but both have their positives and negatives. Better battery life with a lower resolution and vice versa. There is nothing wrong with a 1080 X 2160 screen on a 6" screen phone when using a decent screen.

It's about the same size. As are a lot of phones. That's the only similarity.
QHD (1440p) vs 1080p is a HUGE difference to have a premium (top tier) phone. I've had QHD since 2014 with my 5.2" 1440p AMOLED Moto XT1225, and I've had Qi wireless charging since 2013 (with LG Nexus 5 and then the Moto XT1225). I'm NEVER downgrading specs, I'm going to keep the same or upgrade. If a phone doesn't have at least 1440p (especially on a 6" display) or Qi wireless charging I'm not buying it.
Since 2014, all major OEMs (Samsung, LG, Motorola, Sony, HTC) have gone to 1440p (or higher with Sony) for their flagship phones. Even ZTE with the excellent ZTE Axon 7 last year had 1440p AMOLED. If you can't go past 1080p, I don't consider you a major manufacturer. That's why I say OnePlus is a pretender.
As for battery, OEMs just need to put in a BIGGER battery. My 5.2" 1440p Moto XT1225 has a 3900 mAh battery. There's no limit on battery size they can put into a phone. Especially spread out over a 6" frame! So what if it's 1mm thicker! No one is begging for credit card thin phones anyway.

Although I am not 100% sure, I think Xiaomi does have 1440p screens in some of their phones. I am glad you mentioned ZTE's Axon 7 though. That is a perfect example of a 1440p screen phone where the rest of the hardware and software was an absolute disaster. Speaker issues, charging port issues, and many software issues, just to mention a few. Thankfully they went with physical buttons under the screen that ensured I wouldn't buy it. I would have been so mad if I had wasted my money buying two of them!
My last three phones are the Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, and Nexus 5. I have not used a 1080p screen on a newer phone but I wouldn't think there is a massive difference on panel sizes so small. I guess seeing is believing though.

So, for example, my G4 had dual sim + a dedicated SD slot. so i can have 2 sims and my SD card all working at the same time.
Manufacturers these days (for some reason I cant understand) have decided to make it a 'one or the other' scenario. The Dual sim/SD card uses the same tray, so you can only have one of either dual sim, OR 1 sim + 1 SD. this is known as a hybrid sim system. I hate it.

I don't believe any of them officially support all three. Even the ZTE Axon 7 didn't officially support all three but it did work. Removing the SIM from the plastic shell without damaging it and sticking it to the MicroSD card looks easier than it is.

There are tutorials on YouTube showing how to do it. Melting the glue holding the SIM to the plastic without cooking it as well as not bending the SIM too much while removing it are the parts I would say isn't easy. If you are going to try though, I would suggest having a few SIM's on hand just in case one or two get damaged.

I haven't seen any. If you find any, let me know. I lump them in with all the other budget OEMs who can't really make a high spec phone, but have lots of hype.

The Mi Note Pro from way back in 2015 had a QHD display. It just seems the ones that do have a QHD display don't really catch my interest because they are basically clones of phones I wouldn't buy anyway.
Still no sign of the dual sim version? Anyone have any info on expected release date?
Can anyone tell me if the dual SIM models have a dedicated SD slot? I have found conflicting information on this so far?
I'm currently driving a V20 dual SIM and have 2 Sims and an SD card installed simultaneously.
Will there be a dual SIM version with an unlocked bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

Think all of them are dual SIM and the SD card actually sits where the other SIM would go just sideways. So you can run dual SIM but no SD card
I would love it if this phone did come out with a dual sim variant (not hybrid sim).
Korea never gets Dual Sim models. They are typically for countries such as China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.
Also there seems to be select models that have 6GB of RAM instead of the 4GB that is standard.
The dual SIM V30+ is available now for pre-order in some Middle East countries. Pre-ordered mime on Eglobalcentral, will report as soon as it arrives.

Please do let us know when you receive it - I think there are quite a few of us holding out for this one!

Please show a recent legitimate link showing that? There were false rumors that the V30+ would have more RAM but it does not, it just has more internal storage. No recent news article or review I have read mentions any models with more RAM than 4GB.
Even on August 31, some outlets were falsely saying "select" markets would get 6GB RAM, because even then they were thinking the V30+ had more RAM. Show me a news article or link from October or even better show me something from LG?
For what it's worth, I just checked nearly all localizations of LG's websites that list the V30 specs, no one of them states 6Gb of RAM. Only 4.

Yeah many of the sites that I had checked no longer have the information. It looks like a bunch of third-party online retailers had made product pages for the phone using rumors and unconfirmed "facts", then smaller-scale blogs started reporting that false data as factual.
Hey Guys,
I just had to buy another v60 because I had purchased an AT&T version while using T-Mobile. The phone works until July when Tmo phases outs some legacy bands. So I bought a proper T-Mobile LG V60. I went all out and bought a genuine new one and its great but I noticed it weighs A LOT LESS than my previous AT&T. Its weighs 7.6oz, which matches specs, so I'm not worried, but its my older AT&T I'm wondering about, it weighs 8.2oz! I always thought it was heavy and just attributed it to the 5000mah batt. Can anyone with an AT&T confirm that theirs is also that heavy(8.2oz)??
It's possible that the difference in weight is due to the modem (i. e. CDMA vs. GSM, if that applies). Other than that, I don't know what else could be the cause.

Ok thanks for the input. It's like a brick compared to my new phone. It even stays cooler longer because of the extra mass when charging. I've searched the forums, reddit and Google and can't find any reference to the extra weight. I guess you wouldn't notice unless you had bought two different versions of the phone though.
