USA G4 release date!

[MicroMod777]

Ok, I don't have any insider information regarding release dates for any of the US carriers. I tried to squeeze as much info out of the store reps, hounding them to check hard on their computers. They claimed they have limited security clearance on further insider information on release dates.

What are the rumors you guys have been hearing? May 25th, June 1st, or June 25th?

For Verizon, I'll be shocked if we see the phone before August.

Verizon always gets the hottest releases last.

They elude to June for USA, which is already 30 days past announcement which is poorly executed in my opinion and though I hope for June 1 I suspect late June.

Verizon will be releasing in june 2020 with android jellybean ahaha

The G3 came out the first week of July I believe, with the G2 coming out slightly later. Perhaps we'll see it the end of June.

Which is just really poor planning to have a product announcement 30-60 days out from actual release because by then the Z4, the new Note and maybe a new Moto and maybe even the new Nexus (Huawei) now could be announced and so it just steals possible sales, people have already waited so why not now go ahead and wait for the new announcements by other companies based on rumors, and people forget & lose interest and move on. When companies spend the time and effort to build up and announce, they need to release ASAP. The market & phone offerings are so quickly changing, you should not delay... put the product out ASAP.

Is this foreals? I've been waiting a long time since my contract expired thinking it would take maybe a week or 2 after official g4 release.
I could have a brand new phone right now but I'm waiting on the g4 for Verizon ?

I agree. LG has the worst timing. The S6 and M9 stole the sales from people waiting all winter, now people are waiting for Moto and the Note 5.

They did specifically say that they wanted to hit between Samsung's and Apple's releases.

The sooner the better...my LG G3 just suffered a cracked screen and I can only use the bottom half lol. I need a new phone ASAP.

Yeah however there is a group of us so thoroughly disgusted with HTC over the M9 that we've waited to see what the G4 does. I am seriously on board because of the camera but not certain I can wait six more weeks or longer so hopefully the US model comes soon.

Get a new screen/digitizer from Ebay (not much $) and VERY easy to replace:

You'll have better luck on Swappa without the nasty crack.

 

[Phurkus]

i literally check at least once a day just to see if there are any news or rumers about the release date. i just want this phone already. if i find a phone that has similar specs or better than the g4 already out. i might just hop out the g4 boat for that one.

I'd rather put the $60 towards the new phone.

Also, I looked on iFixIt and this looks like a PITA to replace. So, for now, I'm using this app called Mobizen which allows me to control the phone from my PC. So if I'm at work or home, that's how I use it. If I'm out and about, it works enough to be able to answer calls since the pickup or reject phone call buttons are on the bottom half of the screen.

Ha.. I just fixed yesterday, for the second time, an S4 with a cracked screen with a $4.80 screen off ebay that also came with a clear screen protector and the tools. People don't even know how much of a scam it is when you have a busted screen and try to use your insurance. Spend $5, watch a video on YouTube, spend 30 minutes, done.

VS986 and LS991 just passed FCC. The paperwork in the filings do not mention the G4 directly, but the model numbers are sequential to the LG G3 released on Verizon and Sprint, VS985 and LS990 respectively.

So on the 8th LG on twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/G4Preview Announced they are visiting select cities over 23 days with demo units. That means first week of June before they even done with their demo tour in USA.

I've heard that many screens on EBay are knockoffs and people end up with phones that are pitch black (no display). That's why I'm hesitant.

Anyway, sorry for the OT. Let's get back on track. I WANT MY G4!
