Personally I prefer the G2 over the G3. But if ur in PHC, G3 ain't expensive anymore. U can get it at 38k London used. Holla me for directions.

Its a good phone, bt once the screen breaks, you are in trouble. I currently have one wit a broken screen, bought the screen here on nl for 16k but came faulty, half d soft touch works while d other half doesn't respond. I checked aliexpress d average price is USD 45 but d quality is questionable. So guy, fink twice

it's a good buy this period it's worth it. but the screen flickering is a big issue.
Re: Is The LG G3 Still A Good Buy by henrixx(m): 4:16pm On Jul 11, 2017
which one be all this screen flickering here and there... I used g3 for up to a year and never experienced any flickering or whatever. g3 one of the best phones Ive used
Re: Is The LG G3 Still A Good Buy by sheriffman(m): 6:52pm On Jul 11, 2017
I have used about 4 different variants of that phone and my conclusion is that yes that fone is hot. I still have one on me now. Though it's stuck on KitKat but I rooted mine and it's running on Marshmallow now. Any fone can give issues depending on how you handle it. But to be straight with you, the battery is poor you may need to get an extra one. And last warning do not buy the Verizon variant.

The phone is very good especially at that price, there is no phone without cons and the major problem with the Lg G3 is the poor battery life and that's because of the QHD display and in some cases with motherboard and screen issue(especially the Lg g2) ...since the Lg g3 is a little old you might not see the original version, you will get mostly refined version and you may be lucky to get the one which is refined very well but you might be stock on kitkat

The phone is just too good for the price.

I might be getting one soon .

@op..The phone is a good if you are lucky not to get 1 with a flickering screen. Since it's used, it would most likely not have that issue or any issue would have been resolved. but hey..cavaet..

I and a cousin of mine got the phones new around the sametime. She used hers all through for over 2years without any issue. Mine had the flickering screen about 1month after purchase, but the screen was replaced under warranty and never had that issue till date.

Suprised yours got stuck on kitkat. I dont know of any other phone manufacturer that pushes update faster than LG with the exception of nexus or google phones.

G3 is ONLY ideal if/when bought brand new. London used is a no-no cuz there's a high probability that you'll be buying a refurbished or fake device. Then there's this issue of screen flickering, battery issues, laggy UI, charging issues and faulty motherboards.

Believe me, with all this problems, it's not worth it. Just invest your money on better alternatives like HTC M8 or Samsung S5. They are much better than G3 in terms of durability and practicality.

just let me know your experience and opinion when you get the phone.
Re: Is The LG G3 Still A Good Buy by HarveyDeven: 3:20pm On Jul 13, 2017
Yes it is! I don't know about that battery life, though, considering the fact that it has a QHD resolution on a 5.5" panel and the battery has a capacity of just 3000 mAh.

Good choice! Well I've got an HTC One M8 (32GB of course) available. Very neat and has a screen guard. No issues whatsoever.
Just in case your interest is game wink

Personally, I loathe LG phones because of their wahala. Too much! I used an LG G2 for a while then that began my journey into researching LG phones. They're great but quick to run into issues like overheating, bootloop or screen ish.

G3 is one of d best phones I hv used. It actually has same resolution wit samsung S6 n S7 cool.
