I agree with you on getting it via EU, however I have to correct you here
We in the UK do NOT get the minimum EU warranty as the Sales of Goods Act UK covers us, not the EU policy
Also the 2 year warranty was an EU directive not an actual law, and so we could effectively choose to use it or not and we didn't
There is a case that in the UK, with UK bought goods, you can argue that it should stay fixed/working beyond any given manufacturer warranty, but we do NOT get an insta- 2 year deal on anything we buy.
Whether you buy it via China or the EU it does not have a warranty, unless the exact website/seller promises one, simple as that
Its a myth
However still buy from the EU if you can to save time on delivery and also cut out any possibility of getting charged tax for customs ^^
EDIT: For all those pointing out the Consumer Rights Act 2015, I know of it, used it today against my mobile provider EE in fact, it just isn't relevant because SOGA is so comprehensive and the CRA also does not guarantee warranties sooo.... :/

These look like a nice phone for the money, but I would step up to the redmi NOTE 3 pro, at around £115 (cheaper at banggood).
The Note has a slightly bigger 1080p 5.5 inch screen, a MUCH better CPU (according to Antutu scores of around 70000 vs 37000 for the redmi pro) and a better camera, plus the fingerprint sensor and stuff like this phone.
Key disadvantage is the bigger overall size, which may not suit some people and not quite as long screen on time for pokemon GO (due to faster processor and bigger / higher res screen).
I plan to buy the redmi note 3 pro in a couple of weeks, but I am just waiting to see what the new iphone camera does, incase it is totally awesome and I am tempted to pay 6 times the price...not expecting it??

No way am I going to 5.5inch. I already think 5 is oversized. I always laugh when people pull out their ridiculously sized phones. I am not quite sure how it has become the norm, they are so cumbersome. My currently phone is 4.5 inch and I think that is the perfect size for a mobile

I do like the look of this phone, don't get me wrong but no NFC? Surely all handset's at this stage should come with it :disappointed:
Heat OP, I'd have no hesitation buying from them...

When you try to use the 5% discount voucher the price shoots way up. Still very tempted. Serious phone for that price.

Do these come from China? How long does that take? Any feedback on Gearbest as a company to deal with? Thanks

Yeah this is shipped from Chinese warehouse. They are perfectly fine for ordering stuff from. You will get what you buy. The problem is if something goes wrong it all becomes a bit of a nightmare. Gearbest themselves may be the best in the world to deal with you know yourself just the logistics of sending stuff back to China is a nightmare. This phone on reviews seems incredibly robust so fingers crossed none of that ever needs to happen as I am about to take the plunge myself! Battery on this thing is just so good for the price and that is the main winner for myself.

if its from outside EU, then it is not worth the trouble. better pay more and get 2 years warranty from within EU.

What is the story will Aliexpress? I see a few people on the other thread for this phone saying they have paid more to buy it through them as they get a warranty?

well also aware note 3 pro comes with 2 version. 2GB ram 16GB storage or 3GB ram 32GB storage. The £115 one is the 2G ram version and 16Gb storage. Redmi 3 pro has 3Gb ram 32Gb storage. Redmi 3 has 2Gb ram 16Gb storage.

Why is the camera better on the note? I'd be slightly tempted since its actually only 6mm bigger than my current 5 inch phone, though a bit heavier as well hmm..

can vouch for the note 3. only issue is 4g isn't up to much. it seems that the missing band is the one that Vodafone tend to use more.

£118 here from an EU seller with 2 year warranty so worth the extra, it's the 3s model but apparently they are basically the same
