LG G3 Pre-release/Rumor/Speculation Thread

[whitehat]

{Cue background music- "X-Files Theme"}

<conspiracy theory>

Initially, the rumors had Samsung releasing two phones on the same day - the S5 and the F6. LG had recently released the G2. What should LG do? They usually release models in the fall which means the other flagships impact their sales.

The solution - announce the G2P in the spring calling it the G3. It would not have all the features that the released rumors stated would be on the G3 because some things would not be available yet. This would not be a problem since they would not give an availability date to the carriers. Meanwhile their rumors would force HTC and Samsung to release upgraded versions of their flagships or risk being called behind the times.

In May, LG announces the G3 with some specs missing. Along comes summer and LG now gives carriers an availability date and the missing specifications - SoC 805, new modem and so on.

Was this a dream or a nightmare? It fits the pattern of what is happening though.

So europe will only be getting the 2gb Ram? or will they be release the 3gb Ram later on,
like how they did with g2 (16gb, but 32gb came out later).

If they are only bringing the 2Ram out, thats putting me off

EM: Keep the receipt. You might be experiencing the "placebo" effect. And if you were on Verizon, I'd ask you if you can hear me now! Enjoy

Perhaps.

Or I might know what works and I'm already happy.

Don't know why you cats want to torture yourselves over letting me know that I might have made a mistake.

I was quite clear about my reasons

No torture, just FUD. For you

Blame LG and the modern day of tech, EM. It wasn't too long ago we had to wait a few years for something new.

But I know ur not tortured, EM. The M8 speakers can't be beat and that is something that HTC can hold onto that sets their phones apart.

We continue to make our own news to cover no news from carriers. I am sticking with 2/16 for VZW and maybe others not known as Tmobile.

More sales of devices means more attach rates for accessories. Pure sweet margin. Especially them there wireless chargers

G3 fans that want a 3/32 might want to hope carriers offer both!

Especially since it sounds like Samsung is coming out with something that has 32gb

 

[rushmore]

Since not likely I would get the G3 anyway due to display concerns, I am not as concerned if it is a 2/16, but would feel for folks that do want a 3/32.

Just picked up 2 tickets, for my son and me, for this Sunday's Old Timer's Day at Yankee Stadium. Goose Gossage (Hall of fame closer) is getting a plaque in monument park. The ladies will be away at Firefly Festival, so it's just my son and me. This'll be my second OT day. It's a great. The Yankees get amazing OT's. I hope Yogi is well enough to be there. Whitey Ford, Yogi, Reggie Jackson, Maybe Mariano. A fun time will be had by all.

It's one of those things where you have to be a fan.

On the left, Ryuk, a shinigami (death god, death demon in Japanese) is subtitled in a fancy script while speaking with Lighto, who as you may also notice is Japanese. His subtitles in the movie are normal.

Any similarities to this thread are purely coincidental.

Hey, just curious. What keyboard are y'all using? I'm a Swiftkey guy.

Anyone mess with non-rooted launchers? I know this is OT, but news is slow, and I feel like we're all in this together anyway.

The adjustable LG keyboard looks interesting but I haven't tried it. I usually use SwiftKey but sometimes Flex T9 (no longer available) and Hacker's Keyboard. I have Graffiti (remember?) just because but don't use it.

I'm on the Nova launcher, need to see what Apex has done lately. For an up and comer, check out "Solo Launcher"

It's pretty cool.
