Hello I have a question when ordering a lg phone from ebay in the usa, it will work in eu and more specifically in germany? will they be charged with any additional costs such as customs or tax? Thank you for your response
j If you want to buy and use LG V60 from the USA or Korea in Europe, unfortunately it will not work, only the model will work LM-V600EA others do not support European frequencies I wonder if they are blocked by software or are physically removed ?

I'm planning to buy the LG G5 but I really want the H850 variant so I can have an unlocked bootloader. I understand it's only the European variants that have this, but I can't find any information about the model numbers of the Canadian carriers (specifically: Telus and/or Koodo). I suspect they'll be similar to the US models, but I'm holding onto hope that us Canucks might have H850's too!
My question: Are any of the Canadian carriers selling the LG G5 H850?
If that's not the case, is it possible to use an H850 on a Canadian network? (I'll probably have to do my own homework on this question).
The Canadian Model is H831
I hav not seen any other model for sale in Canada.
hey guys i am officially done with samsung after a complete circus ride of an s6. would like to buy a g5 but there are so many flippin variants i don't know what to buy. i'm currently on at&t, and i know they are all against unlocking the boot loader, so which do i get? i saw that the european g5 is the only one to get twrp? i found an H860n on ebay for $561. is this the same variant? thanks in advance.
European variant is H850.
I might get a European version myself. It costs the same if I were to buy it outright in Canada. The only thing I have to verify is the frequencies.

No IT Has to be a H850 from Europe.
H860 is a dualsim LG g5.

You have to be sure that the Phone Comes from a European country.
And like mohsinkhan35 mentioned you schuld check the frequencies
Edit: in a Lot of countrys tmobile is a Network Carrier.
I don think that Helps.
Maybe ask the selber.
Amazon just started selling the RS988 model that is supposedly fully unlocked and supports all the US carrier frequency bands. I just ordered one today - $649.99 + tax, free same day delivery (in some areas - I'm in LA).

When I get it, I'll let you know if it is actually fully unlocked.
BestBuy also has fully unlocked G5s.

Clove is where I bought mine... Very reputable seller out of the UK. Myself and some other people on the forums bought their H850 from clove. Got mine via DHL from the UK to Colorado in 2 days!
Verified H850 unlocked, unbranded, and made for UK but listed as EU open. Have had ZERO issues that others report.
Everytime I look at the lg g5 site listing the price goes down.
If u want guaranteed root and twrp go with H850 EU open variant. Do not buy from eBay! Go with Clove or AmazonUK.
Also H850 supports all the band's you'll need unless u decide to join CDMA network. DO not get RS988 , if history has shown us anything about LG, it tells us that variant will only ever be carrier unlocked.

Just a PSA if you get the rs988 do not change or update your imei. Att does not recognize the device in any way and you would be stuck with hspa+ just was on the phone with them had to use my old imei.
Thanks for the clove link. How long does shipping take? Kinda wanting to get one asap.
So how does one go about buying a V60 if you don't live in the UK? I'm based in the UK and they don't sell it here. Nearest country is Poland or Italy. Can you buy a V60 from LG Poland and get it delivered to the UK?
eBay is probably is your best chance to buy one.

Hello I found 256 GB LG v60's on aliexpress with excellent reviews from people using them around the world. They come in T-mobile and Verizon variant firmwares. I asked the seller to clarify and here is my message:
hello I know a lot about these phones and have a question. The v600n korean is the 256GB model. Your selling V600TM as a 256GB model. That is T-mobile firmware thats been crossflashed over the korean firmware? Is this correct or is the original T-mobile 256GB variant thats very rare? I just know there are officially only 3 variants that came with 256GB. The EA european worldwide international, the korean unreleased v600n, and the very rare T-mobile 256GB variant. So your 256GB models are most likely the v600n variant thats been crossflashed. Can you please confirm if this is accurate? I just want to know exactly what I'm buying since I will be bootloader unlocking and rooting it. Thank you so much. I'm happy with it being the korean v600n thats been crossflashed. I just want to understand better. Thank you very much.
Same thing is found on ebay for an extra $100 with good reviews:

I just have read that the korean v600n can have issues when crossflashed to the international EA firmware. So I'm curious if he used the v600n motherboards how exactly he crossflashed them to be working so well. Thanks for any input.

That is the link to the 256GB models on aliexpress. Im just so curious what they originally were but they must have been the korean v600n that was crossflashed. I'm debating buying just a motherboard and putting it into my mint condition at&t LG v60 while also repairing its charging port and seeing how that goes.
Hi guys, i am from Mexico and im gonna buy a lg v60 from Aliexpress, but there are a lot of versions of the same device: Tmobile, Verizon, ATT even japanese version. All of the phones are unlocked but i want to buy a the cleanest version of the phone and root it, if possible. Any suggestion or any model is okay?
Tmobile or ATT, do not buy JP variant, verison with some hardvare problems
