At about 50 percent off the typical going rate, the 32GB variant of LG's G3 is on offer for $250 on eBay for T-Mobile customers. Shipping is free for those willing to wait a few days for the handset.
The 8GB version of the G3 is going for $208 on Amazon, but the extra $42 for the 32GB model is certainly worth it considering just how much space the phone's Android OS consumes.
eBay merchant MobilePros1 is offering a cache of 32GB LG G3 handsets. Right now, the seller has sold over 4,600 of the smartphones, and that figure is more than 53 percent of the G3 handsets set aside for this offer.
The G3 handsets are unlocked and ready to run on T-Mobile or any company that has signed a lease with the wireless carrier. The phones are new and in their original packaging, although the seals on their boxes have been broken in order for the smartphones to be unlocked.
The G3 runs on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which is about to be bumped two releases down the run shortly when Google replaces its current Lollipop OS with Marshmallow any day now. However, LG has taken care of its one-time flagship and has made Lollipop available for the G3.
The phablet bears a 5.5-inch display that has a pixel count of 2560 x 1440. That's 538 pixels per inch and better than the iPhone 6s, though its vibrancy isn't on par with the latest from Apple.
The G3 runs on a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processing unit, which is clocked at 2.5 GHz. The phone supports removable storage, up to 128GB, and it has a user-swappable battery that has a capacity of 3,000mAh.
On the back of the G3, there's a 13MP camera and, on its face, there's a 2.1MP selfie cam.
One of the reasons the G3 is on sale for such a great price is the arrival of its replacement, the V10, which has two front cameras and two screens as well.
"We heard from many customers that until the G4, they weren't comfortable going on vacation or outings without a separate camera," said Juno Cho, president and CEO of the LG Mobile. "With the V10, we hope to do for video what the G4 did for photographs."
