The biggest UK mobile network and a major retailer have confirmed they aren't selling the LG G3, which one expert says "overshoots the needs of the market".

The LG G3 popped out of the LG cake last night with a dazzling screen, laser-sighting camera and all the high-end features you could ever need -- but as industry experts brand the G3 a "tough sell", it's been hit with a vote of no confidence from two major UK outlets.
The UK's largest phone network, EE, and Phones 4u, a high street phone retailer with over 600 stores, have confirmed to CNET they are not selling the new phone. Analyst Ben Wood of CCS Insightsuggests a crowded market is to blame: "The LG G3 goes head-to-head with other flagship devices such as HTC's One M8, Samsung's Galaxy S5 and Sony's Xperia Z2, which most retailers have already ranged.
"So it's no great surprise that the G3 is not currently selected by EE and Phones 4u, particularly as there is growing evidence that smartphone demand is weakening."
