Do these still have the awful black border around the screens? One of things that has put me off buying one of these and software.

Great price!. Will get a new phone for my younger brother for April but not sure whether to buy this now or wait... Other than the Zuk Z2 I don't think there are any other snapdragon 820 phones for around the £160 mark or below.

I am however quite wary eUI - I bought the LeEco X800 and there were quite a few bugs which, along with the terrible battery life, made me keep my Xiaomi Mi Note (although I upgraded to a OP3 now).

I find that Xiaomi, Meizu and ZTE Nubia seems to have the better OS out of the Chinese UIs. I've had Lenovo ZUK, IUNI and the LeEco and they are more buggy and whilst they all looked clean and nice, they were a step down when it came to software features and had more bugs.

The current crop of Xiaomi, Meizu and ZTE Nubia phones don't really appeal to me though, especially at their respective price points and design hence I'm really tempted to get this Le Max 2 for my brother as he's using an ageing Meixu MX4 which is coming to a crawl with the MediaTek MT6595 and 2GB RAM. I need to get my sister a phone too as the Zuk Z2 I got her suddenly died and doesn't charge anymore. :disappointed: She was happy with how fast it was but now she's back to her Xperia Z3 Compact with the dated Snapdragon 801 and 2GB RAM. Other than the ugly Xiaomi Mi5 I don't think there is any other compact 5.2" or smaller phone with a Snapdragon 820, 4GB RAM and 64GB storage for £200 or less. Not even sure what will happen to this dead Zuk Z2 as the seller that I bought it from (aliexpress) is just ignoring me now.

How are geekbuying when it comes to honouring warranties? I've found buying from aliexpress hit and miss (like eBay) - some buyers are nice and willing to help you out but this time I've been unlucky with a seller that's ignoring my faulty Zuk Z2.

Don't know about geekbuying warranty, I assume no warranty support when buying directly from China.

Hot from me, but you do have to bear in mind that Three do use a lot of band 20 (800mhz) now for their SuperVoice/rural and building penitration for their 4G.

Usually you can post it back to them at your cost and then cross your fingers and wait a month to get your phone back.

Tempted to go DHL (3-5 Business Days) for USD 5.91 vs registered airmail. Is there more chance of getting stung with import duty using DHL?

I would expect VAT of 20% plus a handling charge. What does the DHL invoice say?
