AliExpress slow / unhelpful customer service who favors the sellers. Sellers who often don't have stock ready. And any refunds are often given at lower rates of exchange, so you can end up losing a couple of quid. Broken refund system where your seller must agree to the reason, for instance (in my case) if they tell others they don't have the stock, you chase them up, they confirm they have no stock, you put in a case for a refund citing the reason as no stock, they can and will deny the request until you change it to something that won't impact them such as "i no longer want the item", then it's a 14 day wait to see your money minus the exchange rate change. All along Customer Service won't and on the face of it, can't, help at all until you agree to the fictitious demands, even when informed and showed the messages on their own messaging system admitting to no stock and demands for fictitious cancellation reasons so as to not impact the seller.

Don't spend real money on businesses that don't have a capable customer service or a broken system and fraudulent system. Avoid.

Of course nothing made by Apple is manufactured in cheap chinese factories either is it....:smile:

Here's a review article for the phone: http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2016/05/20/vernee-thor-review/

WOW!, this looks really cool!. :-)

Meh

Will look even cooler when it sets on fire when on charge. Cheap for a reason.

Here's a review article for the phone: http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2016/05/20/vernee-thor-review/

Looks great specs-wise for the price, but why does it seem to be running Android Honeycomb style OS in that review? Looks so dated.

Can't agree with you. Bought multiple items. Those I had an issue with I got the refund I wanted - full in some cases. Delivery in 7-10 days from CN

:smile: lol

Ironically people posted above about Apple phones setting on fire, let me guess they bought a 99p charger (delivered of course) from China and it set their phone on fire.

See that CE stamp it means an awful lot when electricity is involved BUT no lets charge my 600 quid phone with something a four year old made and IF you're lucky it will have been at the start of his 14 hour shift. :confused:

Of course nothing made by Apple is manufactured in cheap chinese factories either is it....:smile:

CE means nothing. It is self-certified and not really checked to my knowledge. You can buy large rolls of CE stickers in China and put them on any product.

Why should the phone catch fire if the charger is cheap? If the charger supplies too many volts then the phone should simply cut it off.

80% screen-to-body ratio :confused: That seriously got my attention. Not true though, it's actually 69.26% which is not bad at all full specs. No gyro sensor though, and no mention of NFC. Other than that this looks really nice! IPS 5" display, good build quality. Also according to that review both SIM slots are 4G which would be nice :smiley: And the microSD slot is seperate. Thumbs up from me

Ships from China in 60 days?? Maybe choose Spain for 7days.

This one's started getting hotter - look, it's 'Thor'ed' :confused:

temptingb at this price :smiley:

WTH has this got to do with 'Thor'? plus, I wonder if they have actually paid anything to Marvel for using their copyrighted material...

Have this phone. Had it for a week. Can report. Excellent build, excellent camera, great ROM, great battery life.

So you can pay a bit more and get it delivered from Spain and there's no chance of customs problems right?

£9 dearer but you have the safety of ebay.

expandable storage?

Here you go :stuck_out_tongue:https://youtu.be/cPST-rhas1k

Yes, it takes upto 128GB microSD

1, 3, 7, 20 - - not quite full UK 4G, it's missing band 8 (800)

I believe band 20 is 800Mhz for Europe.. So it does have all the bands

Oops, band 8 is 900, and it's a 3G band and is included - so FULL UK 3G /4G

Did you order it at aliexpress? From China? Did you pay vat, how long did it take?

Just ordered one - Price now down to 99 USD (Sweden shipping option)

Yes £69 now but only in gray

Excellent phone. Had one for over a week now. Ordered it from dealsmachine.com who delivered within 10 days (my neighbour got it quicker than that). I got it as I need a smaller phone (previously had Elephone P8000-also excellent). It can be compared with other phones at http://www.devicespecifications.com/ to com.

Does this support encryption, as I know a lot of these cheap phones don't? Can both SIMs run at 4G simultaneously, or at least one 4G and the other 3G, or even 3G+3G, unlike my Moto G 2nd Gen which only runs the 2nd SIM at 2G? No GLONASS is a shame, as I've found that really speeds up getting a lock.

cheers - just bought - went through at £70 - worth a punt.

Mine turned up today - A black one, although I did order the cheaper gray one at £69.
Setup when fine. There was no auto setup, but once I added my Gmail account all was fine.
Both sims fit with a memory card fitted.
Seems quite speedy compared to my Doogee X5 pro, which itself was no slouch.
Nice feel in the hand, with rounded corners and a high screen to body size.

Can anyone who's got this confirm whether or not it has the encryption feature available,whether it's 4G+4G or 4G+3G and if it has a compass?

does anyone suffer with the mobile signal dropping to nil and then coming back after a few minutes?
I initially thought it was when I was using two sims. But it seems to do it with a single sim as well.
It may be due to my Life mobile sim perhaps?

Cool, thanks.
