Guys DO NOT ORDER from Gearbest, you will either receive a broken item or not receive your order at all. I ordered a tablet that arrived with the screen smashed up due to poor packaging. The item was sent from EU warehouse but they gave me a China return address which was almost the same price as the tablet. I lost my money and now in possession of a broken tablet that never worked. PayPal didn't help either. They should ban Gearbest in the interest of their customers. I know it dead cheap but save yourself the hassle. Chances of getting these preorders are slim.

I will continue warning people to avoid Gearbest.

hot good specs for 35 quid, nothing similar is cheaper so any nonsense moaning about 1gb , certain bands, etc etc is just silly

It's a good price, but the 1GB RAM does kill it because Android, especially the later versions run much better with more. Apart from that it's great.

ive ordered from gearbest in the past and never had a problem - had 1 item lost in transit but no problem getting a refund. £35 for this phone seems a good deal - yes its from china and could involve additional customs charges ( possible £20 x 20% vat and £8 postoffice fee so might involve a £ 12 charge - if so then would cost £47 which is still a good price)

Do let us know if Alice and Gearest customer service are indeed able to help in any way at all, ngangekrubally. I've also got my doubts Gearbest based on similar bad experience and it will be interesting to know if Alice is truly trying to help aggrieved customers or simply saying so in public for damage limitation purposes.

Agreed, 1GB RAM is pointless for a new phone. It is already painful, and will be unbearable soon.

Very strange spec. Slow CPU/GPU, small RAM and storage, 5.5" screen yet only 720p.

It is cheap but I'd say the Ulephone in the other thread offers better bang per buck:

I too had awful customer service from Gearbest. Mobile phone was dead after 24 hrs. I was offered a partial refund or I could return but would need to pay return postage to China. Absolute joke!

Ye do not order from Gearbest, I ordered 3times and all 3 times the things got delivered to me.

I am mightily upset by this 100% delivery record. I will right to my mp.

Can anyone tell me if there's a good Chinese Android phone out there which is not huge (i.e. not a phablet) but which has an octa-core processor, 3GB RAM and 128GB-expandable storage, please?

never buy any android phone with 1 GB ... and 8 GB ROM if you plan to use any sensible set of apps

4 Jun 16 #47

the amount I have saved buying from them (4 tablets, this will be my 5th phone 3 android boxes 4 ecigs and a pipo x8. if I got 1 duff product or done by customs I don't think I would complain too much

I have a wileyfox swift - 2GB and 16GB.
My wife has a Moto e 2015 - 1GB and 8GB.
They both run absolutely fine. The 8GB is more of an issue than the RAM - unless you root, which I always do.
Obviously if you're a heavy user more RAM is better, but it's not an issue for everyone. What do you expect for £35?

missleading

4 Jun 16 #52

Can't believe the complaints about 1GB RAM and 8GB storage not being enough in a £35 phone. :laughing: It's more than enough for a basic user wanting a phone for calls, messages, an occasional web browser and perhaps sat-nav. Would make a good alternative to the very popular Doogee X5.
