The LG G3 arrived in a rather old box but the contents were new. I like the quality of the camera and the sensitivity of the touchscreen. The interface is also sleek and user-friendly. There are users complaining about the battery drain and the heating up of the phone and those issues do exist. The battery drain is slightly more than other new phones. However, the heating issue is not a big problem to me. Also, this phone is lighter than my old Samsung Note 3, which is pleasantly surprising.
This is my first LG phone and I think I would continue to purchase LG phones after this because of this excellent product.

What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |

Buy from Good Guy
I bought this because of the great reviews. Everything was working great once I got the phone set up but despite multiple attempts I can not get it to recognize the SD card. I used one I had but no luck. Then I bought a new one from Amazon and tried formatting that two different ways but no luck. Mount SD is just greyed out. I looked online to get help and it looks like I am not alone. The SD card is a huge reason I bought this. My Nexus 5 had NO storage. SO this is a big deal to me.***UPDATE: I got another G3 from Good Guy Electronics and am VERY happy. SD card reader is working so it is clear to me that the first phone I got from Breed was defective. I am also starting to wonder if the Breed phone was used or refurbished but labeled new. Below is a picture of the two phone packaging next to each other. The one on the left is from Good Guys which also looks like packaging that I saw G3 comes in when I went to Best Buy. Overall I love Amazon because as soon as I told them the phone was defective I got a refund. Great customer service and the reason I am such a loyal customer.
