LG Vu 3 F300L - User Reviews

  • Super phone! İ so much love this phone! İ like this model! New modern version coming? 4:3 ratio screen very nice!

  • please is there no newer versions of this LG VU F300L, like 2016 to 2018? i so much love this phone. pls inform me

  • my lg f300l is no signal first i reset it but after i reset it thers no signal now how to reapair it pleas help me

  • LG F300L sported 4g lte any network in pakistan 100% working

  • Your set not supported 4g in pakistan and battery you should buy new. Its seem ur battery is going out of order

  • Wer can i get a cover for it

  • Hi my phone has a hand gesture on the home screen and its annoying me its also stuffing up my phone can you please help me with any suggestion

  • I am from Pakistan, Lahore. I own this phone too. I dont know which model of lg vu3 i have, but the thing i know is it wont support warid LTE as i have confirmed it from warid's franchise. This phone suffers alot from some sort of battery disease XD. It shuts down whenever it wants and then keeps on rebooting until it dies with zero battery.

  • Has any body purchased from digitalswholesaler of China, are they original or fake

  • not supported Radio

  • yes, It has SD card slot

  • This beautiful device is hard to find. It was never launched in india. LG should reboot this device with better hardware.

  • Where did you purchase yours from?? I live in the U.S and can't find it here. Thanks

  • Hello, I own this phone and is great. Just the battery is bad (like most of other big smartphone). Is there an evolution of it?

  • All Vu 3 models from Korea have LTE Bands 1, 3, 5, and 7. Type 5457#*300# on the dial pad. Go into LTE MULTI BAND Test Mode. You should be able to select appropriate LTE Band once you are in that menu.

  • Kingo Root works on Vu 3.

  • LG does provide official update by connecting to PC via USB.

  • All 3 versions of LG Vu3 from Korea have the same LTE bands built in. 5457#*300# will get you into the programming screen. "LTE MULTI BAND Test Mode" You can choose appropriate LTE band once in that mode. LTE 1800 is LTE Band 3. LTE Band 2600 is LTE Band 7. Or you can always set to LTE Band All. You should be able to connect to 4G after you select the right frequency.

  • Can anyone confirm that the Vu line is dead...I have a teeny tiny hope that its not...Someone plz confirm I need to move on

  • Where cn i buy this phone

  • Great phone...

  • Hi Hecks! Thanks for the info! Highly appreciated!

  • I have the Korean Specification VU3 and it does have the card slot, it also came with two batteries and a TV ariel (not usable outside korea) There is an international variant which does not have the card slot or extras that the Korean one does, so check the version before you buy

  • Anybody have any news on the Vu 4? It was supposed to be launched a year ago ...plz don't let it be dead...

  • Hi.. I'm planning to buy LG VU F300. Can anyone confirm to me if the unit has SD card slot? I'm from Phils. Thanks and happy browsing!

  • I bought this phone in China, is the best phone I ever had. Powerful and fast. I have the dark blue version but I bought the white for my wife and the green for my mom... The battery is the only issue. I had traveled across the globe and if the local simcard has 4G , it connects like a charm... Waiting for the VU 4 and the official lollipop upgrade

  • so guys! its the best telephone in the world

  • Hi all. I just bought a used lg VU f300 in pakistan. My problem is that 4G is not working on it. People say my phone has different 4g band frequency than available 4g band in my country which is 1800 MHz (FDD-LTE Bands 3). Now how would i know on which 4GLTE band my handset can connect to 4g? As there is only one (800Mhz) frequency is mentioned on gsmarena. As all korean handsets have three different varients i.e. S, L, K. Like f180S,f180L,f180k. How can i find out about my device, whether it is f300S, f300L or f300k? As my phone is showing no information about its varient.

  • I have one and actually using it while typing this message. The fone itself is great ... but the only flaw was the battery itself, even thou it has a spare one when I bought it the battery runs dry fast when I'm using it for surfing the net or just watching news from any sports app. Wish i could replace it with a higher capacity battery it can last one day tops when your just using SMS and making calls only.

  • Hello! Where is FM radio? I installied Spirit FM, but don't work it. In stock Kitkat 4.4.2 FM radio not included.

  • Hi,does it have built-in radio? Im trying to find it on my vu3but it seems it doesn't have radio.

  • If it has to be via usb and computer,that means is not the official update...the official update is that update who comes to you straight to your phone like a new update for your software.This is the update that I want for LG Vu 3, otherwise no other

  • If it does come to you, it will be over USB connection to computer, and likely not over-the-air. My LG GPro2 was that way.

  • Yes

  • Hey LG why don't you make the LOLLIPOP official update for LG VU 3 ??? you make LG Vu 3 just for your homeland but we've got it in every corner of the earth! so PLEASE, I BEG YOU make that update to Lollipop. We are waiting for LG Vu 4 too!

  • I want to update my LG Vu3 F300K to official Lollipop 5.0.2 When it would be out? This phone is great!!! very fast

  • Awsm phone with awsm speed

  • awesome, very good and fast phone. :)

  • I don't think it's possible here in France...le Vu3 is not distributed, I bought it on Ebay in Korea

  • Ummmm To Root This Phone Couldn't One Actually Root It With StumpRoot???

  • Go to LG service center.. You can buy an extra stylus..

  • How about games? Such as: heroes charge or clash of clans. are they compatible with its ratio? it keeps full screen or another. Because I want to hand it ^^

  • how can I update

  • yes

  • its superb i have update it through wifi its working so smooth and good now am using kitkat 4.4.2 its really good and so fast after updaiting .no tns ty hrough wifi update you can also update and enjoy kitkat version.

  • Everbody can upgrade lg vu 3 from any version to kit kat by auto update

  • Hi im jeff i just wanna know if this device supports video calling? Pls reply. Ty.

  • Hi Jam, you check in software update if it has updatable version of Kitkat already then be sure you have a strong WiFi connection and be sure it is fully loaded battery. If you already have the above mention basic connection then start it update via OTA. It automatically detect and continue updating your software version it takes long to finish. If in case you lose connection do not continue cancel it and resume back to zero after a couple of hours. It will restart by own until everything has been in good state. Good luck no worries mine was successful just sharing.

  • I have same question...does it work here in India?? Can Ebay be trusted??

  • Hi all, I am planning to buy this for use in India from ebay. Can anyone guide me whether this (LG VU 3 F300L) will work in India or not?

PLEASE HELP!! I saw on wikipedia the list of 4GLTE frequency in Asia and Europe, and there is the same in korea, like is in my country: 1800 / 2600 TDD...what is the meaning of this? will LTE work here in europe?

  • hi i hv Lg vu 3 f300l im in dubai

  • thanks but problem was already solved. In fact I already rooted my vu3 by following instructions from lgviet.com site. Now I'm very happy after I discovered the software called Xposed Framework.

  • Its a software problem..... You cannot do anything.... Try to fix it by showing your nearby LG service centre... Else.... Email them

  • Hi vu3 users, Can anybody share the steps on how to factory reset? I already managed to get to the portion where i can see a lying robot with open tummy door with exclamation mark. How to proceed? Thanx for the help

  • Hi vu3 users, Can anybody share the steps on how to factory reset? I already managed to get to the portion where i can see a lying robot with open tummy door with exclamation mark. How to proceed? Thanx for the help

  • I am Blackberry user and never attracted to any touch android phone but this lg model is out of the world I think it is better then samsung,htc or any other good lg

  • I love this phone because it seem like a mini version of iPad mini.

  • Hopefully LG Vu 3 will be launched in Indonesia soon. i want this phone badly.....pleaseee

  • I hope LG will send it worldwide.We are waiting for LG VU 3 in romania.Thanks!

  • My phone lG vu 3f300k from koria 16g with micro sd yesterday i have updte to kitkat its agood phone 13mega camera 2.1 front camera,answer me system

  • I really curious about this phone. It can be another choice for the phablet trend, but hopefully with more affordable price. Really hope this phone will be available worldwide (especially asean country)

  • i have vu iwas waiting for vu 2 but lg didnot send it to iran. so i'm expecting lg to send vu 3 to iran i wanna buy .... hard to keep in pocket but perfect and specific in hand. iranian peaple are waiting for this lg. donot forget. ( Iran )

  • LG should release their phones worldwide. I wanted the lg optimus vu 2, but it was not available in the U.S.

  • If this is so ugly, then the iPad is so ugly!! 4:3...

  • It's so ugly!

  • come on LG I agree with other opinion this phone shoue be released on the European market !!!

  • Only 16GB and no MicroSD slot on a flagship ! since everything is in Full HD, every smartphone must offer a minimum of either 32GB w/o memory card slot or 16Gb with memory card slot, considering that this phone is capable of 1080P at 60FPS, with an expected available memory of 11GB out of 16GB plus music and a bunch of apps installed , if you get 15min to 30min of video recording you're a boss ;-)

  • Why can't south korea release this beautiful phone internationally... I mean you can obviously order this on online stores like amazon but the pre-installed korean applications are just there and cant be uninstalled unless you root your phone which I have no plans to do it.

  • Look it up on Amazon. Should be no less than 800 euros!

  • Does that available in egypt ? If so where to buy?

  • Can i have the price details please...

  • 16\32GB No Expand... Just like G2.

  • Guys, I think that the specification is down below... MODEL: LG F300. CPU & GPU: Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon800 Quad-core 2.26GHz Krait400, Adreno330. MEMORY: RAM 2GB, ROM 16GB/32GB. MICRO SD: NO EXPAND. SCREEN: 5.2 inches(~308 ppi)1280x960 pixels. CAMERA: 13 MP Auto Focus, LED flash. ANDROID VERSION: v4.2.2(Jelly Bean). BATTERY: 2610 mAh(Li-Po).

  • I want one! 4:3 ratio for the win! only... can't find it for a reasonable price in the US

  • I don't think LG is going to release this gsm version phone. I'm still waiting for the LG vu 2 gsm version. It was supposed to be released this year.

  • Who is aware? when this phone is releasable at list? I am expected for that eagerly! Who is aware?

  • 32gb internal memory ,2 gb ram

  • Lg Vu 4 hot if: Pin: 3000 mAh Ram: 3gb TouchID: yes Camera: Stabilization Dust proof and water resistant

  • No one seems to notice this. this phone will CRUSH every phone in benchmarking.. can't even image the fps in games .. iphone will seem slow the 960x1280 is a very smart screen resolution .. ofers retina level ppi , but at almost half the pixels for the adreno 330 of the snapdragon 800 to push .. that means DOUBLE the grafical power of a note 3 ..

  • Lg Vu 4 hot if: Card slot: yes Pin: 3000 mAh Ram: 3gb TouchID: yes camera: Stabilization

  • The orginal LG Vu came with a gsm version. The LG Vu 2 was never released with a gsm version. The Lg Vu 3 will most likely never be released with a gsm version. Unfortunately. I have the original vu and love it. I wanted the Lg vu 2 gsm version, but they never came out with it. Lg is missing out. There is a market out there for the gsm versions of these phones.

  • The details for the internal memory aren't available because this smartphone is yet to be released in the near future. Get it? Thanks.

  • read. says nothing about memory. Just RAM 2 GB.

  • 2 gb of RAM...not internal memory

  • 2GB internat without Card slot. waste of money

  • Not bad this lenght/width ratio...You can see more in same lenght. I would try it.

  • Is the phone like that. :D

  • ipad mini supports the same 4:3 aspect ratio. so y this fuss over the aspect ratio. its great

  • I think the design is nearly the same with Galaxy S series~ Since the cut the edges smoothly~ Anyway when will be the rumored date of release for this phablet?

  • This is the perfect Phablet not too awkward to hold like taller ones and it won't look too big if you hold it to you ear. Honestly the taller phabs offer no advantages to this one. The styling of this beast is too good for other phabs in the competition. Will definitely buy this when it hits the market. Hopefully sooner here in Philippines.

  • I have the 1st Lg Vu F100s so instead of getting the Vu 2 I'll just wait for the release of Vu 3.

  • my VU2 doesn't hav fm radio..dis one much better..but for the design I still go for my VU2

  • LG better releases this beauty, including the mad flipcover, in Europe asap. At least this phone stands out from the crowd.

  • NO slot card... For REAL!?!

  • wonder if this one will be for sale in UK:/

  • I want one soooo bad!

  • If the previous Vu phones were flops then why on earth did LG decided to continue the Vu series with a third Vu phone?!

  • So LG didn�t cancel its Vu series. Maybe there is still a market after all for phones with screens that has 4:3 aspect ratio. It maybe short & stout but the 4:3 aspect ratio is actually better for reading ebooks and web browsing.

  • very poor memory,

  • poor memory,

  • Whatever happened to LG? This device looks like an s4, an ugly compressed s4 (to me!). They should have derived the design to the Optimus G.

  • this phone will be a benchmark king beause of snapdragon 800 and a lower resolution screen :))

  • In terms of design, it is gs4 s fat little adopted brother..

  • Interesting design.

  • Lol.. are u sure guys like the same engineer isnt working with both Samsung and LG to me it looks like that except he did something dumb he switched the back and menu (touch) buttons and took a 150 ton press and used it on let say maybe the note 3 or some phone (samsung) that's very tick... Anw I have nothing else to say...

  • Superb specs. I hope LG launches it soon.count me in as a prospective buyer.

  • ugly compressed note 3 !!

  • Wow ! A small "Card Board" designed. Latest floppy innovative idea of LG.

  • Umm is something wrong with the pic or is the phone like that ?

  • Lol. it looks like a premium chopping board.

  • Badly designed. Too wide to handle as an usual phablet

  • is it going to be a phone or a tv? i will think about g2 but this phone is not my choice, lg will not update vu android os as they showed on vu and vu2

  • this phone is also gonna be flop like previously vu1 and vu2..i think lg has lost their mind

  • This thing has no chance against note 3
