Isn't everything better value than an iphone? If a iphone was £2000 isheep would still vote them "hot"!
Just consider Apple profit margins, this gives a clue to their value.

Samsung will see profits collapse with the Chinese Android phones.
Apple will try and maintain margins from ifools :wink:

I prefer to call them iDiots, sounds more fun :smiley:
And yes Chinease phones will kill those apples in 3-4 years from now !

You have been judged. Case closed

I'm not judging you on the basis of your phone choice, I am judging you on the basis of your spelling.

Sorry, I will edit it now

You lot will end up with a draw full of this garbage before you work out these phones are tat

like to see the resale value of this after a year

love the android fanboys for the incessannt isheep comments and they think other ppl are sheep priceless


they are just phones they are not football teams i dont care what phone what you choose to buy/use so why care about others

Personally I prefer the look of the octa-core Doogee F5 (£99 from Gearbest). I've had several Chinese phones and had no problems whatsoever. They're cheap, they work well and I can update/upgrade at my leisure and just use a simple SIM only plan. What's not to like?

Traying ? yes its very hard to sale an iphone they have no resale value at all :smiley:

I bought a doogee x5 for about 35 pound for a spare sim I have with free minutes. I have to say the phone is really good. It's fast with a clear hd screen. Battery lasts for days and takes an sd card. I could easily use it as my daily driver. I'm actually thinking of moving to a Chinese phone at some point.

yes that idiotic company called apple....oh wait, the most profitable company in the world, what utter idiots. geez can't any phone deal not just become apple vs everything else!?!

Apple are very good at marketing to idiots, hence how much cash they make cos they know the sheep just keep on buying at top prices. See their first 1984 advert and the "brainwashed" people, ironically they now perfectly resemble Apple fans. :stuck_out_tongue:

I remember that advert first time around, yes there is irony for sure but I think calling apple customers idiots is a completey unfair thing to say, we all love having choice of products and apple is one of those choices that we can all freely decide to buy or not.

Hot imo, and must admit I'm sorely tempted. Looking for a phone to change from Windows back to Android. Is this the one...?

You'd think with all the money they spent on that advert that they could at least have bought her a bra.

Games? I just want a few basic apps that actually work - three have gone off my phone in the last month!

O/T, but has anyone a good idea for a reasonable 4.5" phone not costing the earth with, say 2GB RAM and 16GB storage (min), 1280*720 screen resolution, 4G and perhaps a bit faster than a stock 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410? A small screen variant of the 16GB Moto G would fit the bill if it existed. Alternatively an S5 Mini but it is quite expensive and the processor is not brilliant (although nominally 1.5GHz).

The iPhone starts out with Apple engineers in the U.S., is sourced with components from different parts of the world, mainly southeast Asia, and is only assembled at Foxconn in Taiwan
So what's the argument you can't judge every product on where it was built.

So nothing whatever to do with providing superb products for nearly four decades which satisfy customers so much they just keep coming back? It's the brand people want because it delivers, time after time. If it didn't they couldn't charge a premium.

Since when was learning what stuff works and keeps on working 'brainwashing'?

Merchant in the title, noob! :stuck_out_tongue:

As the ducumentary on the making of iphones exposed, they only cost around 5 Dollars in parts to make. The rest is wages , middlemen , marketing and excessive profit.

Most electrical products have low profit margins , less than 10%. Iphones have 40% upwards markup in the stores.

They say that 2g phones connect better than smartphones.
Be interesting when the new battery technology gets into the shops - charging in half hour.

Well I think for a lot of people they ultimately don't deliver due being constrained to the Apple eco system, whereas others like android give you far more freedom to use your device how you want.

So if Apple works for you fine, but I would rather not pay a premium for a device that does not do what I want it to when I have access to products which I find both superior and cheaper.

Heat!

You can get the Doogee X5 from the usual Chinese web sites (Focalprice, Gearbest etc.) or Amazon if willing to pay a bit extra. The Pro version is worth the extra as it has 4G and more RAM.

However, this phone looks far nicer and has fingerprint recognition and what looks to be a half decent camera. Video review at https://youtu.be/5BanSxNgdVI

Nope, just someone who understand that this is a pile of tat. Never owned an Apple device in my life xx

Did you actually read what he posted?

If you decide to lecture people on spelling, ensure that *you* can spell. Revising your grammar may also help (I am; you are; it is = it's; etc.)

People need to really get a life about the android v iOS argument. Gets boring in every phone thread on here

What ever you like.... Go n enjoy it!

I came to see if the phone was any good, I stayed for the iPhone vs android banter.

£61 @www.coolicool.com
£84 @www.debenhamsplus.com

Apple is loosing the market.
Chinese phones are very good.
If you can afford an extra £40 better get the XIAOMI RedMi Note 2 32GB 4G (I own one and its very good phone, cheaper than iphone 6).

Don't see how this is a good deal, nearly £80 for an awful spec.

​I repaired an iPad with a broken screen that was given to me for free. total cost was around £20 all in. It's nicely made and perfect for multimedia duties and the is game. compared to android you really need to jump through an awful lot of hoops to do what you want with it and that's exactly what's wrong with apple products in my estimation. I'd take android over apple any day of the week as a result. apple seems to be about paying more to be able to pay more and do less, wrapped up in a nice package with some slick marketing to make you feel that you have a better product. Of course, the vast majority don't fall for this....

I can honestly say that I have seen the light! I was an avid Samsung user for years, paying stupid sums of money on their products. Now I buy the much cheaper Chines phones, Huawei at the moment, and have found that they are just as good as far as I am concerned for less than a quarter of the price. Presently I have a Huawei P8 Lite and it beats an iphone 5s in a comparison test. Just type this in google: huawei p8 lite vs iphone5s
I lkove my chenese phone and its fast enough for me for my use.

If you are going to correct someone's grammar or spelling, please make sure that yours is correct to. Its sell not "sale".

Sorry but 1gb ram doesn't cut it for moderate use anymore

NIckJH is looking for a 4.5" phone (as am I). Oppo Find 7 is 5.5".
