Hi,
Does anyone have any solid intel on a release date for Australia yet?
Cheers,
Good question. supposed to be early Nov. but who knows. I was in a Telstra store yesterday and they had no ideas (which is not uncommon )
I'm waiting for it (V30+ H930DS Dual Sim)in the Gulf region...Not a peep from them,they keep tweeting "in the coming weeks". Poor management on LG side.

I too live in the UAE, the sad thing is any dual flagship from LG never gets bootloader unlocked! Still rocking the dual sim LG G4 (LG H818P) will be a massive upgrade to LG V30! Instead of buying locally dual sim LG V30 (LG H930DS) I'll order online an LG H930 (single SIM international version) I'll enjoy root as well as an custom kernel

Yesterday went to various shops, one of them said that it'll be arriving around 10th or 15th of November to Dubai! Why is LG so slow in releasing the best phone in the world!
Still no news in Europe either

Well the release date has been up on LG website since 2/11/17 stating availability at JB Hi-Fi from November 16th onwards. I've contacted my local store several times and finally today they were able to tell me that I can preorder it as of yesterday, even though there's nothing yet on their website. Happy Ordering!
LG V30+ Australia
JB-HiFi
Placed my preorder at local JB-HiFi today for $1199AUD. They're still not sure if it comes with anything else like a Google Home Mini or the rumoured Beoplay H3 earphones.
After checking the press release it seems they earphones are obtained via redemption from LG after purchase.

still waiting too, I'll buy it at JB hi fi
Well it's been 7 days since I preordered it and 5 days since its release and I still don't have it yet. Has anyone else got one from JB hi-fi yet? My local store seem to be having a very difficult time getting it in stock.
out of stock in every jb hi fi in Gold Coast
Mine arrived Thursday. 4 days and loving it so far.

Purchase one myself for the same price from BestBuy
This is what has been reported about the update:
The LG G3 is going to sport Android 5.0 Lollipop by the end of the year, according to an LG representative for the Netherlands and Belgium cited by TechTastic. He didn't give a more specific time frame, as we suspect the company is going to make an official announcement regarding its update.

I went through bestbuy too i upgraded from an s4 lol.
I have just spoken to customer services at LG UK asking for an update on the availability of the V10 here. What I was told amazed me. It seems that despite showing the V10 H960 on the website , the phone will definitely NOT be marketed here. The agent believes it only appears on there for "support" reasons. I told him that to me this was ridiculous, but he was adamant and said that he had only been given the news himself this morning!! He also said that if I bought one from elsewhere in Europe, it wouldn't be covered by their warranty as they couldn't be sure of obtaining any parts required. I find that equally disturbing.
I guess I'll have to wait for the G5 or risk a grey import.
so where can we get the greymarket version ie H960 ?
Spoke to two different people at LG Support UK team...both pretty much said same thing that the V10 not coming to UK, both said it was never confirmed for entry into UK market either! Display on Lg UK website is just for show
And also if buying any imported version, they wont provide any warranty for it... Disappointing move....Like Samsung did with Note 5. But think H960 variant can be imported/bought from czech rep/turkey/uae
This is a bad move by LG “ this phone would have smashed it here in the uk “ feels good to be in an exclusive club of LG V10 owners tho
I gave up hope, now that they will announce the G5 for release in April probably. I'll just wait for Samsung S7 or G5 now. My LG G3 is fine, I just wanted a finger print scanner.

Mixed signals from the LG uk support team??
http://m.gsmarena.com/newscomm-15326.php
The LG team seems more confused than the rest of us
I'm planning to buy my new phone since my Lg g4 occurred a boot loop issue recently. I purchased a Huawei honor 5x and I'm not satisfied, (LG g4 is far more superior than honor 5x sorry) and planning to upgrade to G5. I saw a deal on B&H, LG G5 Rs988(North american variant unlocked) with charging cradle, extra battery and $50 B&H gift certificate for only $399. Then last night, I saw a new deal from B&H which is LG G5 H820 (At&t variant unlocked) for only $339. What should i get, The h820 or the rs988? Do these variants received a nougnat update with no issues? Just disregard the bundle i really don't care with the bundle. I just want to have a phone no problem at all (in terms of LTE and gps since image retention can be fix). And I'm planning to use T-Mobile sim card for my new phone and I'm hearing some issues that their LTE doesn't work. Please help me on choosing between H820 (At&t variant unlocked) and Rs988 (north american variant unlocked). And i'm from California if this is needed. Thank you so much!
...
I have owned the RS988 first then swapped to the H820 as LTE was a nightmare to get working on AT&T using the RS988, plus the H820 has Wifi calling and one other thing I forgot that made the jump worth it for me. H820 does have AT&T bloatware on it, but it's manageable. Neither model has root or Android Nougat yet. Neither work with the B&O Hi-Fi DAC module, nor have FM radio. I can't talk about T-Mobile working or not. Those are my experiences for you!

thanks for the reply! i already bought the rs988 from b&h since they have a deal $449 with free battery cradle, extra battery, lg cam plus, lg 360 vr and free expedited shipping. so i grabbed it. i dont really use the wifi cqlling but that is a big plus. but i saw that all frequency of tmobile is supported by rs988 so i hope there will be no problem in Lte haha. i hope LG provide a nougnat update for both h820 and rs988. thanks a lot!

Haven't seen any definitive confirmation of this? All I've seen is regarding the South Korean launch.
My guess is yes. In fact, I hear it will be released in the UK (exclusive to one carrier) and Germany. No sure about other countries. But since it was unveiled in Barcelona, I take that as a good sign that it will be released there.
No need to guess, there have been definite statements.
LG's UK site is showing that the UK will get the Blue and Silver colour options. Price and release date TBC.
Carphone Warehouse have confirmed to have it.

It will be released in Germany and will cost 899 €.

Oh, come on. OnePlus can't even figure how to get to 1440p AMOLED or Qi wireless charging.
When OnePlus decided to make a real top tier phone let me know. ZTE with their 2016 Axon 7 and upcoming 2017Axon 9 is what OnePlus pretends to be, a real contender.
Everyone knows 2017 is the Year of the Zero Bezel Phone. Even Apple knows that! And OnePlus released an iterative update when they needed something more radical. Something like the LG G6, Samsung Galaxy S 8/8+, LG V30, Samsung Note 8.
Even Apple is going zero bezel, more than 1080p with AMOLED, and adding Qi wireless charging!
ZTE will be announcing something similar in October, but with stereo speakers. And probably will be budget priced like the ZTE AXON 7.
The LG V30 will probably be my next phone, and I've already bought cases for it. But I am curious about the ZTE AXON 9...
OnePlus could have done the same thing, but they blew it. Same old same old. They easily could have released a zero bezel, 1440p AMOLED phone to beat Apple iPhone 8 or X, or whatever they're calling it. They easily could have added Qi wireless charging. Instead they released 5.5" 1080p slab with huge bezels that looks like last year's iPhone 7.
What is the model number for the European version?

There will be several European models. Do you mean the "carrier unlocked" European model?

thank you, v30 h930 then. would really like to dissect system image of it but currently seems only system dump for sk model available.
Are there any news on Europe availability?
As I learned so far, lg is not quite up front with release updates...

Except the camera might not work as good as stock. At least this is the case with Samsung phones and LOS... And that would be a real shame because so far it looks like v30 has a superb camera for movie clips and that's the only reason I consider buying v30.

You can pre order it for 899 euros on staturn in Germany: https://www.saturn.de/de/product/_lg-v30-2353162.html
And there is an eBay insertion that offers the H930 for 899 with shipping starting the 31th October: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv30/comments/76i2ky/h930_preorder_on_an_ebay_shop_899/

Yeah let's hope they release it soon, and that it'll be in offer for Christmas, for me is a battle between S8+ and V30, and maybe Op5T

yeah!
i was at IFA this year and i held it in my hands and it was f***ing awesome. i wanted to buy it since end of august.
in the meantime i smashed my sgs7e to pieces and i need a new phone even more. and i also wanted to wait for the new pixel to be presented and also looked at the op5/T also maybe the huawei mate 10
but in my opinion the v30 has the most complete package. in the pixel 2 you dont get dual cams no wireless charging and no headphone jack.
i think only dual front facing speakers and the pure vanilla android software do not justify the price.

For me the more important thing are dimension and fingerprint position, in v30 these are perfect, S8+ is way to big and the fingerprint is in a weird position, but it costs 250 Euros less :silly:
I know the S9 and LG7 are just rumors and there's little news, but I'm looking for some insight into what's likely to happen based on previous releases and time frames.
The problem I'm currently having with buying the unlocked V30 now (after waiting a couple months for the actual release) is the Snapdragon 845 chipset in early 2018 as well as rumors of the S9 and LG7 releasing in January. While I'd rather not wait, I certainly can wait.
I want an unlocked phone with root (and a headphone jack) that's 100% compatible with Verizon. Based on the history of Samsung S8 (and previous) and LG G6 (and previous) how likely is it we'll get this in an S9 or LG7 at all (vs before February)?
I've had high hopes for the Razer Phone, Google Pixel 2 XL, S8 Active, One Plus 5T, etc, etc, etc.... all failed for various reasons like incomplete Verizon support, no headphone jacks, etc. It shouldn't be this complicated, ha.
So, any thoughts on the unlocked V30 now... or holding off (painfully, but maybe smartly) for an unlocked G7???
thank you.

You'll be waiting a long time. G6 unlocked finally was released in May, but not placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list until well into June for the European unlocked version. Was June 29 (practically JULY) for the North American US997.
Oh, LG will ANNOUNCE G7 in January or February. For CARRIERS. But to get an unlocked open market version in your hands and get it on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list? Mid-June to July.
Look at the V30. ANNOUNCED August 31. North America carrier unlocked V30 version (not even V30+ yet) shipped December 1, and hopefully placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list by end of the year.
For some reason, LG S-T-RE-T-C-H-E-S it out. They can't just announce a phone and release it.

Thank you... that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I don't follow phone hardware unless I'm looking to buy and since I only buy every 2-3 years I suck on following the trends and history of what actually happens.
I suspected that would be the case, oh well. V30 it most likely is then.
EDIT... since I have you online... the unlocked V30 from B&H supports every Verizon band for LTE and CDMA yes? Just double checking if you happen to know.

Why did 5T failed for you?
I kinda have a similar internal struggle right now xD
My current OnePlus 2 still works fine, especially with all those Oreo ROMs now, but... I kinda wanna have something new, yet I should safe more money (poor student problems lol).
And i dont wanna "waste" my money on a phone thats completly locked down, or has barely any support (had that with the G Pro, was kinda.... meh, even though it was a really great phone actually, but barely any devs there), and we dont know that for sure yet about the V30...
It also doesnt kinda "fullfill" all of the things i have on my wishlist for my next phone (like a metal back, USB 3.0/3.1 Gen 1 or Gen 2).
And then... with the rumors of the Galaxy S9 and LG G7 maybe be announced in January with the Snapdragon 845... feels a bit like i would buy an outdated phone (by the time the US version also gets its unlocked bootloader, and the community starts to build ROMs and so xD)
Edit: And with my "new" carrier here for mobile internet, my phones missing LTE Band 20 (have the chinese oneplus 2, which doesnt support that, and unlocking didnt work :/)
And dont forget Project Treble... which would also be nice xD

It's said that LG7 with 845 may come in June at earliest due that Samsung not gonna give anybody first batches of 845 chip. So, if want 845 you'll end up buying S9 or wait for almost a year LOL
