If you choose the 32gb model in black - you can use the code JBUY599 to knock £5.99 off (for orders over £200) to bring the price down to: £207

Vastly uglier software

Buy the lg g4 instead, same chipset but with 1gb more ram, vastly better camera and the option for removable storage and battery.

Stay far, far away of eglobalcentral guys. They're based in Hong Kong and the goods are imported. They do all sorts of shady things to avoid customs charges and when you get the package it doesn't even have any labels related to eglobalcentral or even a receipt. It took 3 months to get my last order from them and their customer support is literally non-existent. They lie about stock levels and do not contact you even if they know that dispatchments will be delayed.

Funilly enough they don't have the time to respond to customer queries through their ticket system but they have time to reply to almost every negative review on Trustpilot. Just scroll down and you'll see a **** of 1 star reviews from people who were either unable to contact eglobalcentral or didn't even receive their order.

The batch they were waiting for over Easter came through. My 5x 16gb arrived today. All good.:sunglasses:

Cant believe it got so much heat tbh

Time to expire this deal to save others a headache

I also have a claim in against them with Paypal for my purchase of a Nexus 6P..... nto hopeful though, Paypal are bound to side with the rip-off merchants!

So want to pull the trigger on this one but don't like the reviews, anyone know the next best price from a decent retailer?

Just asked them about my order (16gb, ordered Saturday), and have been told that they're out of stock and the resupply won't be until after the Easter holidays 29th (and then another 6-8 days until delivery).

Ah. To cancel, or not to cancel...

I've no idea tbh about the spec differences if any. Warranty is from LG iirc.

Anyone recommend a decent case for this?

Are there any differences in terms of hardware in UK and non UK models? (Like Samsung have the SD802 in their S7 in the Asian markets but Exynos in everywhere else).

What about warranty?

Mine was delivered today. Obvs not UK sourced but that's fine. 7.50pm for 2 gig of 4g data with calls and texts from ID mobile, £5 quidco. Cex offering 50 odd quid for my iphone4, and I was paying virgin 8 quid for my old sim only.

Happy chappy. Cheers OP.

Mine just turned up. All seems good so far. Its not a model for the UK, but I dont think thats an issue. They supply a adapter plug for the charger, but I would suggest getting a new plug or USB A to C cable.

My 16gig black is out with the courier and should be delivered tomorrow.

Ordered a 32gb black 9 days ago - just had order cancelled ; no availability they say. Still have it available on their website though. Think perhaps it's for the best and i'm better off out of it!

What's the warranty situation with these then if they're imports? Also, will they work on all frequencies?

So it came earleir than expected! Here are some pics: Album

Some things to note; it came packaged officially with the LG US 2-pin travel plug, and a UK 3-pin adapter was packaged separately beside the box inside the package. So if you do order from eglobalcentral, it's probably best to order yourself a standalone UK USB C plug or compatible cable.

5X delivered this morning with DPD to Northern Ireland. Won't have my hands on it until Monday as I'm using a forwarding service to have it delivered in the Republic.

No it was the 16gb white

Ordered 12th March, dispatch notification 16th March and delivery arrived today so 5 days from order, but 1 day from receipt of dispatch notification. Courier was DPD.

For anyone worried, I just had a Nexus 6P delivered from them. It came from an address in Lancashire and there was no mention of VAT or duty, why would there be for a parcel travelling within UK?

The phone is obviously not UK spec (two prong plug and adapter supplied).

Anyone know the situation to Google with warranty on these non-Eu phones?

You brave souls, thank you for being the guinea pigs. Keep us updated

Is this the 32gb black?

It's still showing as in stock but they tell me different?? https://www.eglobalcentral.co.uk/lg-google-nexus-5x-32gb-4g-lte-sim-free-unlocked-black.html

I got the same and just checked on the website and the status has changed from processing to "Packing & Delivering soon"

Overnight

Just checked their website again, yesterday the 32gb/black model said 'Limited Stock'.

Today it's on their front page as 'deal of the week' and it says 'in stock'? Bloody shysters.

I suspect they've had more orders than anticipated (thanks to HUKD) and they're waiting new stock, I wish they just say that.

Did you have to make contact to get that out of them? I started a 'chat' :

Me
54****2, The website says I will get a tracking number within 48 hours, it's been 3 days now and I still haven't seen one?
Chat started
Please wait for an agent. There are currently 1 visitor(s) waiting to be served.

Me
Hello?
eGlobal - Ephraim
Hi there
One moment
Ur item is expected to be sourced on Monday next week I am afraid
Me
It was advertised as in stock?
eGlobal - Ephraim
Yes, I am sorry that we are currently experiencing some difficulties with our supplier

Ordered on Sunday at 9, just shipped last night or early this morning. Courier is "CTN-DPD" so I imagine it might have shipped from the UK.

Nothing showing for tracking yet but I'm sure that will take a bit to update.

Email:

​I cancelled my order for a nexus 6p and they told me the refund would take 2 to 3 weeks.

Just had an email confirming the order is being disputed. Automated and no mention of refund etc..

Thanks for the info. I will leave it a few days and see what happens. Im in no rush either and bought through paypal for extra insurance.

I'm in no rush, but an email would've been nice.

Or a cake.

Well it's been 48 hours and still no tracking number, why am I not surprised. :neutral_face:

I've heard nowt since the order confirmation about 3 days ago.

Great.

Oneplus X or Oneplus Two is a similar price but much better specs.

Wonder if this retailer should be banned from hukd, considering all the warnings so far

tempting but not worth the risk IMHO.I just purchased 32GB version from Amazon for £276

I'm looking to upgrade from a Samsung S4. I've been hoping to get the LG G4 but I haven't gotten hold of one just yet. Is this a better phone?

Thanks OP, just ordered a 16GB White 5X for £192 including insured delivery to NI - so about €245 for me here in Ireland. Fantastic price!

Yes, I believe so. Check the return policy for the website where you bought it from.

What's the best SIM only around for about £5, would then make this a better deal than the new MPD 12.50pm offer

Ive went for this 185 with the code, through paypal. Had my fingers burnt with the talkmobile 8.50pm deal last week which didn't go through so fingers crossed.

Hotted.

​I assume that is only for items they have sold you

I'm tempted to buy, but may just buy direct from Google as they have £35 off for celebration of their birthday and that way there is no risk

​
Ordered the old Nexus 5 with them and my wife ordered the old Nexus 6 with them. Both times no items arrived, a lot of issues with customer service. It was only for our credit card companies that we got our money back. I have had friends who have been OK with them, I would just be cautious and protect yourself using a credit card is all.

That's not what the law says and many manufacturers will just tell you to contact the retailer you bought from.
It's only after 6 months that things can become a little problematic as you can be asked for proof you didn't cause the problem.
Even with a manufacturers warranty I usually deal with the retailer as they can replace the device straight away without me having to send it to some foreign address and then having to wait for the manufacturer to inspect/repair it or send me a refurbished device.
As someone has mentioned these are probably grey imports so the manufacturer may well refuse you any warranty.

That's useful, even though it's been used?

Is it my round?? Urrrrm, anyone know where the restrooms are?? Back shortly..

not if I've used it already

I can vouch for them, last month purchased a huawei W1 smart watch and it arrived as promised by DHL. Then ordered the nexus 6p which also arrived as promised, kept up to date on delivery tracking. Cant complain in my recent experience.

Although the items are foreign and they send you a uk adaptor charging plug with the item.

Worth upgrading from the N5?

Nuts, paid 280 for the 32gb last week.

Are you buying?

Problem is I do understand but it's a comment where you are telling someone their opinion is wrong.

I have an LG washing machine purchased from Curry's warranty registered with LG directly.
I have a phone originally purchased from EE but I've had an issue and I contacted HTC directly and they fixed it.

How many people walk into Apple or Samsung stores when they bought the item elsewhere and get it fixed under warranty?

Are you honestly saying you would rather go via a middle man to have something repaired replaced? And any additional hassles associated?

Nice adult response please.

Can anyone the stock levels of the phone? Been looking at the 32gb version but I wonder if it's available?

And maybe after a couple of beers..

Try reading it again, a little more slowly this time, and hopefully then you'll be able to understand.

Buyer beware. Purchases of devices outside the EU are not covered by Google's/LG global warranty but are instead covered by eGlobal Central's own One Year Limited Warranty. Always read your T's & C's.

This deal smells a bit fishy to me..

Your post makes no sense...

Well you think wrong as the responsibility for faulty items rests with the retailer, not the manufacturer.

The latest March update is meant to significantly improve performance, too
http://9to5google.com/2016/03/08/google-ota-update-fix-nexus-5x-performance-issues/

How does this compare with the iPhone 6 in terms of spec and reliability?? Sometimes it's worth paying for quality..

I'll get my coat..

Ok thanks I understand, based on your experience you received the item but the customer service was poor. And i assumed it was a Nexus device regarding the warranty with Google.

I personally think if a fault happens in the first 30 days it should be replaced by the reseller anything outside of this goes to the manufacturer.

​lol g4.

Would I notice much difference upgrading from a HTC One M7 to this?

Buy the lg g4 instead, same chipset but with 1gb more ram, vastly better camera and the option for removable storage and battery.

You should have use PayPal, you would have got your refund quicker.

Who bashed?
But ok, as you asked so nicely...
The phone arrived (Zenphone 2) and all seemed fine, then I noticed the memory card kept ejecting itself, tried another card and had the same problem, clearly an issue with the device. Then one morning noticed I had missed a call but hadn't heard it ring.
All sounds had stopped working, not just ringtones. Several reboots later and return to factory settings were all to no avail.
Contacted E-Global and it went on and on, backwards and forwards without any real solution. So I contacted the CC company to ask them to start proceedings for a full refund. As soon as that happened E-Global contacted me with the details to send it back, which I did and they said they were going to repair it. But eventually agreed to a refund. Without the back up of the CC company I think they would have just repaired it.
Why would my warranty have been with Google BTW?

great, been looking for a good price on this phone. hopefully ordering from this company will be stress free!!! :smiley:

Retailer is responsible for all warranty issues.

Great price. Looking for a new phone. 5X looks like a great device and will most likely be my next choice.

Be way faster with a fantastic camera

Might be worth considering an open box one from Currys for a little more but a stress free purchase. I've no experience of Eglobal but I've heard bad stories on here before.

tempting

Huh? Paint the whole picture before bashing please. Did it arrive faulty? Or went faulty after a period of use? As if it's the latter you send the phone to google no? As they hold the warranty.

If you choose the 32gb model in black - you can use the code JBUY599 to knock £5.99 off (for orders over £200) to bring the price down to: £207

please ensure you buy from them with a credit card to cover yourself. I personally won't trust them again

£15 more for 32gb version

Very tempting

have the 32gb currently on its way to me with DPD

bought a fuji x-t1 from them a few weeks back. Was delivered from uk by dpd

is this shipped from the UK or am I likely to get billed for import and VAT?

use code TWISP3 to take out down by another £3.
