What's more, the LG 360 virtual reality headset - one of G5's friends - will also not be available in the region.

      Herodroid, 27 Feb 2016Who the hell makes these decisions once again... Why no sam... moreI believe the reason is to maximise profits for the company. That's why there are many versions of a product. Removing or swapping some features (bands, chipsets, ram, etc.) are all part of price discrimination. Apple doesn't do this because they have very high profit margin on each iphone so it matters less to apple than companies such as Samsung

            " Latin America will get a Snapdragon 652 + 3GB RAM variant of the LG G5, no VR 360 headset "

            What a Cheap Cheat from LG.

                considering that the LG G5 itself already was made very cheap! (cheapo body and display build) and now they make it even more worse for some markets? PATHETIC!

                  LG should have been fair and name that latin America G5 with another name lilke "G5L" or something. It's not fair to the people to market all that processing power and then deliver them a half-powered phone.

                    They should have used a different name such as LG G5 lite or something which will not confuse consumers.

                            [deleted post]Who the hell makes these decisions once again... Why no same version for all regions? why Samsung logo only on the back for Korea and Japan and clean front? why Sony removes fingerprint in USA? Why No sd820 in Europe for s7? I can name more and more examples... But why not offering same or many offers in all regions? not restricting? shit
