The LG G3 is still sitting at the top of the pile for one the best smartphones this year. It’s a great handset with some truly class leading hardware and LG has done a pretty great job with the software, now LG has teamed up with retailers around Australia to tempt you into buying a handset in time for Christmas.
The G3 is of course now available in additional colours – Burgundy Red or Moon Violet – as well as the Titan Black, Silk White and Shine Gold colours originally launched. The bonuses seem to mainly focus on free accessories, but why not grab a bargain if they’re on offer.
Offers:
Optus: Take home a bonus wireless charger valued at $59 when you buy your G3 from Optus (This is also available to Virgin Mobile customers)
Vodafone: Purchase an LG G3 from Vodafone and receive a bonus Quick Window flip case valued at $29
Harvey Norman: Receive a bonus accessory pack of a white portable charger and spare battery valued at $69 when you buy either of the two new exclusive G3 colours – Burgundy Red or Moon Violet.
Hardware wise, the G3 is a killer. It was the first phone released in the mainstream with a 2K (2560×1440) resolution display and it’s a gorgeous display. The phone also has a laser guided 13MP camera, with dual-LED flash and of course it just looks killer.

No wonder the staff at HN could not find info on the desktop battery charging stand, and the battery for the LG G3, when I was at HN Mt Gravatt, Brisbane, back on Tuesday. LG Australia do not list the desktop battery charging stand (BC4300), or the battery itself (BL-53YH) on their site at all.

Just been to Harvey Norman at Mt Garavatt, Brisbane.
HN has no record of the bonus stuff on their system.
Their system doesn’t even have the items stand alone.
Where did Ausdroid get the HN info from, because that source is wrong.
Poor battery, no L850 for Vodafone, only 2GB of RAM, and it’s stuck on Android 4.4.2. The Sony Z2 or Z3 are better choices.
I’ve got the D855, 3GB ram and got updated to Lollipop.
Where did you get yours from? When did you receive the Lollipop update?
Import versions, i got lollipop update too.
hi, i just got unlocked D858HK dual LTE for xmas.
its on Android 4.4.2. How do i update to lollipop?
Love this phone but the battery is awful
Haha just be happy it’s user replaceable. My mate upgraded to this from an iPhone 4S and anything is better than that.
