I wanted to buy a oppo find7a but the lack of cases really puts me off, and i cant wait a month for a case from china.

Is the lg g3 a good phone or is the overheating a real problem?

Is there any other mid range price £300 phones, with strong futureproof specs and 4g coverage in the uk, preferably a 5.5inch screen

Or is there somewhere i can get a find7a case shipped from the uk so here quickly?

Thanks

OnePlus One. You can get one every Tuesday.

Poor 4g coverage in uk, only on three and ee but three is patchy

Gigabit · 12-04-2015, 15:21

EE has the biggest 4G network?

Ee have poor prices, im on three sim only which is good value but the 1+1 only supports one of the bands so 4g signal is likely to be poor.

That is simply the biggest load of nonsense ever posted on this site.

Both Vodafone and O2 have superior 4G coverage to Three.

If you're on about the OnePlus LTE on Three being "patchy", I have absolutely no problems what-so-ever with LTE being "patchy" at all. And even if it were, H+ is perfectly fine to use web surfing, email and streaming.

Well no. Three are currently only using the band which the OnePlus One supports so the signal on 4G on it won't be any better (or worse) than any other phone.

When 800MHz is launched, yes you won't be able to use that but the OnePlus Two will likely support that (the OnePlus One is over a year old now).

It seems OK to me.

Lollipop is meant to be rolling out in the next few days. UK is one of the few countries which has not been rolled out yet....

Seems to be better built than the original Z. Battery life is great too

Those two networks heavily use the 800Mhz band for their 4G coverage.
The OnePlus One does not support that band.

Does one plus one cover all h+ speeds, and is the h plus to 4g difference even noticeable?

My G3 has over heated once... I was using Satnav and listening to a podcast at the same time in the car and it told me it was stopping charging due to excess heat.

Hmm does it not always reduce screen brightness etc to reduce heating though? What about playing games or recording video?
