Who with?
The freezer aisle? :confused:

No thit. :neutral_face:

what does it mean by powerful quad core processor, is it 1.2 Ghz or less?

I would not buy it, but maybe that is interesting for someone. Some heat added.

does seem a decent basic smartphone with dual sim, could be good for holidays in UK

Only one gb ram in Android phone

Mine was fine until I fell off a chair and sat on it.
I, on the other hand, would never have a Samsung or iPhone.
I've never had one of them but would just like to join the "I've never had one so cannot judge them but they're rubbish" Looney club. :stuck_out_tongue:

in all reality how much extra would it cost manufacturers these days to put 2gb ram instead of 1gb? im sure for only a few quid more it would make these cheap phones much more pleasurable to use. get with the programme phone manufacturers!

Prospective buyers will want to know if it's sim-free or whether they are tied to an (expensive) deal!

Is it simfree? Or are you tied to a deal?
Can you have Pay as you go?

The phone is SIM free and unlocked, so should be able to use pretty much any SIM card on contract or payg.

Do people actually think they'll be tied down to a 2 year contract with 'Aldi Mobile?!? :smile:

may as well splurge a few quid extra for a chinese smart phone, some of them are pretty decent and come with upto 13mp camera's

Elephone p9000, Xiaomi Mi 5 or if your looking a bit cheaper maybe the bluboo X9 or maybe the honor 6. Some need tinkering installation of google play like the Xiaomi and blu boo so if your used to androids is easy enough

Will It download the app required to use a fitbit

You can take it for granted if you are buying from Aldi you are getting a good quality product at a very good price. I have bought various products under this brand name and all were top class

Have bought one of these today. Having problems loading Facebook, rebooted the phone 5 times still not working, screen freezes so can't use icons. Reboot takes forever. DON'T bother buying one, mine going back tomorrow for a refund

Thinking about buying this phone as a sort of spare to my iPhone 5. Wouldn't be a huge tech genius, so would someone explain what is it that's bad about 1GB RAM, thanks. Also, can you get snapchat on it (sounds stupid but I need to make sure)

We have two of these phone and as yet do everything that we need from a smart phone if you not want to spend to much money does everything a Samsung can do .just nit as fast but that does not matter to us

l have a lispth also...

Processor and RAM aren't adequate for a decent user experience on this device in my opinion. I'd avoid. Sorry OP :disappointed:

Not funny, I have a speech impediment and underwent therapy for my stutter and lisp for years as a kid.

I'm reporting you to the modths. :wink:

Like too many Aldi specials there'll be 10 at each store and once sold out, end of.

Pity because on paper, not a bad deal for something unlocked, dual SIM, available in-store and easy to return if faulty. The 1GB RAM is fair enough at this price.

No thit. :neutral_face:

Seems a good deal although I'm no expert, I went for the BLU phone that was posted. Similar specs I think but an extra 1GB of ram.

Screen resolution is only 854×480 sadly.

Mediatek and 1gb ram, and for the hat trick of crapness, it has circa 1996 screen resolution ... At least it ain't from gearbest.

1 GB ram are you for real? I'm sure there is better options out there which comes with a dual sim surely..

Much better phones out there for the money.... Good warranty on a phone though...

awful price for a 1gb phone

For the money you can get better dual sim phones on amazon, Aliexpress, gearbest, geekbuying, coolicool.

No-one seems to have any perspective or context whatsoever on this phone. Its for £69 for God's sake not £269
Actually couple months back I got a BLU Windows Phone which I upgraded to Windows 10 dual sim etc etc as a back up phone for £29.....(off Amazon)

Moto e 2nd gen is often under £50, often £39 from Vodafone, much better value than this.

You miss the point. Of course there may be slightly better deals - and it IS "slightly" - but that doesn't mean the phone here isn't a good deal

Not sure if you directed your reply at the wrong thread (Lenovo?) but as per reply #2, this phone has a MediaTek MT6735M (1.0 GHz) processor. I'm interested to know are MTK processors really that bad? I haven't used a phone with one, but I have read that it's difficult to install CyanogenMod on MTKs (a chief consideration in my eyes).

Mediatek havent released sources, against terms of the GPL. Considering how buggy their drivers are, it would be a good thing, but they're just another money grabbing company releasing sub quality parts. The GPS is still awful even now. Benchmark well (whoopty doo) bit don't expect much in the way of battery life with mediatek based devices. Some code for the jiayu s3 was leaked last month which may help - I had that phone for 2 weeks, it was utter crap like every other mediatek device I've tried, sent it back partly because of issues but mainly because of all the spyware built in.

Right thread m8.
I just didn't know why Mediatek was being mentioned when the phone is made by Lenovo.
As is the laptop I'm using now.
Not bad an all.
ps. I had an Medion/Lenovo phone which was fine......until I fell off a chair and my 4rse broke it. :neutral_face:

It's actually one of the best MVNOs on Australia using the best network (Telstra)

They are in a few other markets too.

Lol.

Read my lips: 'unlocked'.

I've just bought one. I dropped my Samsung not long after buying it and cracked the screen. Everyone I know who has a Sammy has the statutory cracked screen. It died on me last week, just out of warranty, so when I saw one of these at Aldi for £70 I couldn't see how I could go wrong at that price.
Been using it for a few days now and I'm well pleased with it.
Got a couple of giffgaff sims in it on pay as you go. I don't make phone calls (I'm deaf) so paying out a tenner every month on my old Sammy with an O2 package seemed a bit daft for a few texts and a few meg of data.
Win Win as far as I am concerned.

Unlock code is just over a quid for the moto e.

​What? Its a real thing?

Does this phone have a built in fm radio player. Thanks Paul

I've just bought the Medion E5005 from Aldi. Does anyone know how to access the call log?

I bought one of these 3 weeks ago to replace my old iphone. I'm very happy with it for the money except that the manual is useless. Nearly all of the problems I have had with it relate to it being Android, which I'm not used to and having to fiddle for ages to work out how to do anything.
plusses, sim free, unlocked and dual sim, cheap and easily returnable if faulty (remember that unlocking may be cheap but can invalidate warranties)
minuses, takes ages to charge, screen not a patch even on the iphone4.

I bought the Medion E5005 from Aldi.
I was having difficulty in accessing the call log.
When I contacted Median their advisor was unable to help and said he would get someone to phone me back within 48 hours. That was a week ago and I'm still waiting.
Meanwhile I have played around with the phone and found how to access the call log.
The manual is silent on this and the Median customer services worthless.

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to connect to the internet with E5005? I keep getting a network error or when I try to connect via my home broadband there is an authentication error message. I am sure it is something simple. I have a pay as you go Vodaphone sim card and the home internet service is by Orange and I have a Brightbox router. Hope one of you tech people can assist. My children have smartphones and connect to broadband when home but they are abroad!

Mine is great.
However.
Does anyone know how to transfer my phone contacts from a Windows phone ( Nokia 1020 ) over to it please?

quad core is x 4 so if it is even only a.1.2 that makes it a 4.8 processor . anything quad is times 4

Marked down to £39.99 now

​Claycliffe Road, Barnsley.

​I've listed under fsft if anyone wants one.

I bought one of these a few days ago.. I submitted an honest review on the Aldi review page saying it was ok as a phone but it doesnt like doing more than one thing at once, and even that was at snails pace. Press an icon and literally nothing happens for a good 5 seconds. Videos are jerky or just freezes the phone. I only paid £35 for it from Aldi and said its not worth anymore than that. They moderated my review and said they couldnt publish it which annoyed me somewhat.

I've switched phone on out of box and it is asking for a pin, can anyone please help? Have tried 0000 and 1111, thanks in advance.

I do not have anything against Medion, just think 1 GB RAM, 16 ROM and 5 MP camera is not enough to move from my actual smartphone, I assume it's a good deal and value for money. It could be a good option, but depending on what you want to get from it. For this money I would buy any old cheap Motorola.

Well, experts, the fluctuating reviews would have put me off, so I am glad I bought on my own personal view of it in store. I checked the spec and weighed it up with the price and I'm chuffed.
The phone gives a more 'airy' feeling when I use it, same number of apps as on my previous HTC 626, yet nowhere near as sluggish. The spiel states 16gb internal memory, upgradable to 32gb with additional 16gb card. I put my 64gb data card, with 42gb of MP3's and files, in and the phones has no issues reading it all, so mega-chuffed. I use Power Amp audio app, have done on 4 previous phones, and this phone has the best output of them all (using AKG 451 headphones each time) with the lowest volume level (and therefore lowest battery usage too) of any of them.
Reember when phone would save battery power by being able to be switched off when you're asleep and still wake you up with an alarm? Guess what - it's here. A pretty snazzy leather feel rear cover is a very nice touch. The only issue I have found is the keyboard is a little basic for my usual needs, but there are so many nice keyboards available from the App store, it won't be hard to find one that suits, if if indeed you feel the need.

So, am I convert - yep, but I cannot say that everyone needs one, my reason for having a mobile is not the next person's, necessarily, but for less than half the price of others I have had with as good performance, I must say it's better value for the bucks (£69.99 actually).
