still an excellent phone, as new, everything working perfectly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it

just wondering how this turned out for you? thanks

arrived today, two weeks from ordering so their despatch date is wrong (said at the time despatch 23Dec). No duty charged, lovely looking phone includes protective skin, has Android 6 on it plus Play store etc

​They are all local sellers. All the things they sell is approved to sell in UK otherwise they have to recall it. What guarantees you get with foreign seller apart from Paypal etc. Also some of these phones come with viruses to steal your personal details.

K6000 pro is much better choice

Not so hot, not samsung

​are you on commission from poundshop, Bm, primark and local booze shop Sam.

Same here

ikr finding it hard to resist lol.
also looking at the xaiomi redmi note 3 pro kate version (kenzo kate confusion) as I know xaiomi are HUGE but all the various versions are confusing me. plus its just under 130 so around 40 quid more expensive.
i keep hearingt that even if its shipped with global rom could be one the seller has flashed & be dodgy. i dont want a phone i'll have to fiddle about with just want to get it out box and know it works properly no spyware/malware either.

such a tempting offer.....

so tempted to get this. wish yours wuld come sooner so you could give me feedback lol.
is this gonna come with the play market installed?
also worried about spyware :disappointed:

I know, I suppose we'll only know the truth if it arrives...

Strange says ships in Dec??

ordered yesterday, got an email saying despatched this morning. My experience with phones from Gearbest/Banggood is good over the years, normally takes around three weeks, never been asked to pay duty

No way - not an Iphone

will this phone be good just to surf the net ,emails and streaming videos , i dont take many photos so im not that bothered about the camera not being the best just as long as i can make phone calls look at my emails and watch a few films or video clips on youtube then i will be happy or is there better or cheaper phones out there for the things i want to do on the phone i like the finger print sensor as well not that i lock my other phones

No idea why the wait as ebay seller dispatching immediately

Source

Great price and tempting however a long wait for dispatch - why so long?

Also what was the price before promotion?

Questions:
1. Camera - bad / reasonable / good ?
2. can it be connected to tv via MHL ?
Thanks

whats a good phone for watching films ,streaming and just general use as im a light user and use the phone just for kodi so i can watch films , ring my friends and go on the odd site and use email now and again

No​ sorry you got me wrong. Not this phone but xiaomi with no B20. Apologies for any confusion caused.

not sure what the difference is between the U15 Pro and U15s tho?

​Cameras on the Redmi 3 phones are reasonable.

Did notice the and following the do thread but wondering why it doesn't have the same heat and no comments

You're like a broken record. Did you forget you had already commented on this thread 2 hrs ago, whilst you were looking for more phone threads to criticise? So to summarise you consider lack of B20 to be "no UK bands" and people who buy them are brainless and people who post them are looking for commission and being paid to post? Oh and you continue to ignore the fact there are people using networks that mightn't need B20 and also neglect the fact that there's plenty of people who use them perfectly fine in UK.

Funny thing is that this phone has B20 support. So are you gonna criticise warranty, retailer or software next?

Thanks Crossbow. Just thought this would be a good deal for some.

Many seem to like Chinese phones.

First world problems. :wink:

There are so many phones with proper UK bands. Why buy Chinese **** not made to work in UK. Just for commission people like you recommend rubbish here.

​Same way a Dacia Sandero is worth it.

Just too much for me.

Another phone to avoid if you want a good-excellent camera to rival the one in your LG G2.

I repeat, none of these Chinese-sourced phones (except for a small handful) are anything special in the camera department.

You seem to be ignoring my posts in response to your posts/queries in virtually all threads. If you don't want me to respond any more, just say & I'll stop.

Don't talk nonsense. Some don't work on a minority of UK bands.



Only person without a brain is you, because many have bought these phones & using them on UK networks & every one of them has more brains than you.

Same here. Got mine from a UK distributor. Chunky but cheap and it works.

I don't think I could go back to 720p on a 5.5 screen. But this is a LOT of phone for the money. Heat!

​Most xiaomi phones do not come with UK bands as they are made only for China . Only person without brain will buy phone with out UK bands.

others can comment tho. discussion is welcome

good question, so much choice.

Chinese phones (had a few still have one) get a make where you can get replaceable batteries and get 2 more they degrade very fast. cameras are never as good. mediatek always seem to suffer poor GPS although its a lot better than 3 years ago (still odd dropouts but 8/10 on point now) build quantity from Chinese manufacturing has come on lots

I doubt I'll get a mainstream UK phone again

or which has the best camera with budget around £100?:p

You don't really see NFC, and where you do I've read of issues with the manufacturer being unable to get certification and so it doesn't work anyway!
May have to just make do with a contactless sticker inside your phone case a la Barclaycard.

This processor is absolutely fine for general mobile phone use, it will probably be slower for intensive gaming, but will give it its best shot.

I have a phone with a snapdragon 820 processor and was underwhelmed at the improvement over the P8000 because the way people were talking down mediatek I was expecting the difference to be night and day.

If you're not a connoisseur/snob then go for this, it's a very good price for 3gb ram, 32gb rom/flash memory.

As always make sure it's meets your needs though, check that your network bands are supported. It has a 3000mah battery, which is okay but bear in mind that if you're moving up to this larger 5.5" screen it drains more battery quicker so you may get less screen on time than you think.

It has expandable storage which is a bonus too.

Sorry, any cheap (~£100) Chinese phones with decent cameras?

Xiaomi MI 5

​Check out the UMI Diamond deal I posted for a cheaper 3gb phone from a better known brand that usually has good build quality.

Why post it as a deal if you have no idea if these cheap brands are any good?

The Xiaomi MI 5 is has a good camera, but its just under £200

​best to stick to xiaomi

so much choice at low prices.

Which are the small handful of Chinese mobiles that have good-to-excellent camera? My daughter is looking for one. Thanks

decisions, decisions.....

what are these cheap makes like? is it best to stick to the well known Chinese brands like Xiaomi??

I think a lot of Chinese manufacturers elect to had Hotknot as opposed to NFC because its easier to install and considerably cheaper. I can't see it on this device though.

I'm not sure I would want to give my money to Gearbest now for a device which mostly likely won't be delivered until well after Christmas.

​Android 6.0 isn't Lollipop...
ahem, it's Marshmallow...

Dont have this particular phone , but ITS EASY TO INSTALL PLAY STORE, on phones I have had in the past that required installing it

Yet another Chinese phone with seemingly all the toys apart from NFC?

I took it from the same question asked on gearbest, LINKY HERE :

Question:
Good evening... where is the slot for the sd card??? or it uses one of the network chips slots??? please i am kinda confused abut that.
Reply:
Hello Yoshigo,
There are two slots for the SIM card, one slot can support the SD card. Please kindly view this link : prntscr.com/cx0js6

I think they just used it as an example

What's with the photo of a lenovo


Also why does it say "download ur apps from the playstore OR market installed" does that mean it won't come with play store installed?

I love my k6000 pro

There are two slots for the SIM card, one slot can support the SD card.

Woah... seriously cheap. 'Tyrant gold' - there's a colour description I've not heard of before!

Anyone know if this is the usual setup where you can only have one SIM and a microsd card, or can you get both SIMs and the SD card all in at the same time?

Cheapest I've seen a 3gb ram phone. Tempted.... Is it worth it

Hot, not apple

720poooooo

Superb spec for the money.

​Agreed. Mediatek phones definitely had problems a couple of years ago but their latest chips seem fine to me. In all likelihood the previous issues were more down to Chinese manufacturers getting to know how to make a bunch of components function as a coherent device. I've even found that GPS worked fine in the last few Mediatek phones I've tested. Albeit they were running 'Helio' chips.

Similar hardware to the K6000 Pro? (Android 6.0 (lollipop) with 1.3GHz MT6753 Octa Core processor and 3GB RAM +32GB ROM) which is great. I guess the MTK6753 of this phablet is the same?

OMG! Mediatek processor (I'm being sarcastic) Will get voted cold by the "Mediatek is still more clever than me" Snapdragon brigade.
Scorchio from me.
