LG G3, the latest flagship Android-based handset from South Korean mobile phone maker LG Electronics, has already become available for purchase in the UK, one day earlier than the July 27 availability date that LG announced several days ago.

Those of you living in the UK and interested in the purchase of this phone will find it listed at £489 ($830/€611) contract-free via Unlocked Mobiles, which is a bit more than what other retailers are asking for it.

Only the Black version of LG G3 is available at the company at the moment, with the White and Gold variants expected to hit shelves very soon.

Amazon UK, for example, has added the phone to its offering at £479 ($813/€598), though it still has it only on pre-order. The retailer will make the device available in Black and Gold variants.

Those who are willing to purchase the phone on contract will find it available via Carphone Warehouse at £0 upfront on monthly plans starting at £38 ($64.5/€47.5) a month. The phone can be grabbed on the networks of EE, Vodafone, O2, Orange and T-Mobile.

Apparently, retailers such as Clove UK and MobileFun are also planning on making the phone available for their customers, the firmer starting today, while the later only tomorrow.

Those who will order the smartphone today should be able to receive it as soon as tomorrow, when it officially becomes available for purchase on other markets out there as well.

LG G3 was made official about a month ago with a 5.5-inch touchscreen display capable of delivering a Quad HD resolution, which makes it one of the most appealing flagship devices out there at the moment.

The smartphone also arrives on the market with a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor inside, paired with 2GB or 3GB of RAM (depending on whether the phone has 16GB or 32GB of internal memory).

Moreover, LG G3 was released with a 13-megapixel camera on the back with laser focus features, capable of recording videos in 4K resolution, as well as with a front camera for making video calls while on the go.

The handset also packs all of the usual connectivity capabilities, such as 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a built-in GPS receiver, along with the entire range of common sensors.

LG G3 was released with the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system loaded on top, but also sports a variety of applications and exclusive features coming from the mobile phone maker.
