Sites in Italian but they deliver to Ireland for around €256.
Just checked there and if you order now and pick quick delivery it'll be here by Friday all for €256.

My V20 was scanned this morning in Belgium. Ordered 9 days (7 working days) ago.

Some go to Paris, some to Belgium?

EDIT: It arrived in the UK from Hong Kong 3 days ago - pity it wasn't sent directly here, but I suppose that's logistics for ya...

Mine went to belgium after uk, delivered two days after it appeared in Belgium

Read the thread. Has been discussed many many times. It's one of the most popular phones bought here.

Well, my V20 didn't arrive today...

The tracking stopped when it left Belgium 3 days ago. Was anyone else able to track theirs once it arrived in Ireland? I tried both barcodes on the An Post tracking page, but neither one was recognised by the system.

EDIT: Tracking was updated today. It arrived in Portlaoise this afternoon, and the tracking number is indeed recognised by the An Post tracking system. I'm pretty confident I'll have it on Monday!

Sorry folks, clueless when it comes to phones. From reading, the Moto G5+ and LG v20 seem popular and decent phones. Is there much between them quality wise? And finally, where is the best place to be looking price wise

So, I'm using a Nexus 6p this past year or so, great phone but it's not mine and it's going back to the owner shortly.
So, that leaves me with a new phone to choose and don't know what handset to go with.
That Doogee Mix looks lovely but the screen is too low res.
The G5 Plus is super, but I'd miss USB-C.
I'm budget conscious, so a bigger screened, 1080p minimum phone, with USB C, and as clean a Android as possible.
Suggestions?

If your looking for USB c, 5.5 inch 1080p screen with almost stock android how about the moto z play? Retails for about €300, all reviews say it also has a great battery and allows moto mods if your into that kind if thing.

I'm in the same boat as the OP.
I am looking at buying an LG G6 from eglobal.
Anyone go for one of those?
Seem yo be a decent phone.

Put this in the wrong thread!

Currently have a Galaxy S5 which is almost 3 ears old and getting a little slow. I was looking st the V20 and a possible stretch to the new G6 but not sure if an upgrade is worth my while yet. Anyone upgraded from an S5 to either of the LG's?

Ordered LG V20 from Eglobal on 4th July. Phone arrived today with battery 1/2 full and the box seal broken. Everything else looks intact. Did anyone else who ordered from them notice if seal was broken? Have not had chance to power up phone yet.

I'm looking for a recommendation for a V20 / P2 equivalent available in a smaller form factor, say 4in screen. Any pointers?

4" sorry but I started laughing hysterically when I read that.

Maybe 5"? The V20 is almost 6" with the secondary display

Yeah 5 even would be an improvement. Apple still sell plenty of the smaller iPhones, there is demand for non phablets.

5 inch difficult to find this day and age. Moto g5 plus is 5.2. Xiaomi mi5 is 5.1. Nexus 5x 5.2

I agree with you I'm not a fan of the big screens always found 4.6 inch perfect size phone. I'd stretch to 5 or 5.2 max

I don't see any demand for phones below 5 inch anymore. In a tiny, niche market, if one exists.

Maybe , maybe not. I know I don't like large phones - they won't fit easily in your pocket. Some smaller phones still available eg. Xperia compact / iPhone SE.
For me portability is important - for serious usage laptop/PC will win out.
