The LG G3 was unveiled in London Tuesday, and the new flagship Android phone is coming to the major UK networks on 1 July. The price? Early indications suggest £490.
After it goes on sale in South Korea tomorrow, the G3 crosses to these shores where O2, Three and Carphone Warehouse have confirmed they will sell the phone. The £490 price comes from online retailer Unlocked-mobiles, which will also sell the G3.

O2 will sell the phone on its Refresh tariffs, which let you pay for your phone and your usage separately, allowing you to swap to a new phone without having to buy your way out of your old contract.
You can sign up for updates on the G3 from Carphone Warehouse from tomorrow, and place an order in “early June” before the phone hits shop shelves in just over a month.
