Great phone and amazing specs for the price. Lowest ever (and no it isn't the latest Samsung)

Your mentality is an electronics manufacturer's dream. You post about SD835 and say how you wouldn't be buying a SD820 phone now because it's last year's processor. You post on any 1080p TVs/media players stating how it's obsolete and everyone should be buying 4K devices. You post on non B20 phones saying how people not getting the fastest available speeds are living in the stone age. All the while, ignoring the fact that your opinions or preferences towards electronics don't apply to everyone else. But by all means, throw your money at the latest offerings and try to convince others to do the same. Then next year when manufacturers announce new tech, state to everyone how last years tech is obsolete and that we should be buying the current latest. Manufacturer's are able to keep hiking up the prices of newer models because people like you will still pay in order to have what they believe is the "best". I feel bad for you because it doesn't seem you'd be content with anything below that and will be constantly paying more. Just take a look at the range in prices in the phone market. Manufacturer's know people have varying needs and preferences, including how much they wish to spend. Yet you seem unable to grasp this notion and constantly comment as if people need to have the same preferences as you.

If you think you can get a "flagship" phone for £128 then this probably isn't the phone for you.

Band 20 is one of the 4G bands (800mhz) used in the UK. It's the lowest frequency 4G band, which means it travels the furthest and is the best at getting into buildings, but doesn't have as much capacity as the higher frequency bands.
Basically, no Band 20 support means your 4G might not be as good as it could be, especially indoors or outside of towns/cities. The vast majority of UK networks that offer 4G data use Band 20 to some degree, there may be some MNVOs which don't use Band 20 at all.

Plus the "handling fees" charged by the courrier/post office which can be higher than the tax itself. Been there and suffered myself. That said, stuff usually seems to get through....seems to be pot luck.

I can confirm it. I'm quite regular buyer. Using default seller standard delivery and value $20 stated on a label, you have very little chance to pay UK VAT (there is no custom fee AFAIK).
And bay the way, I think any mobile from Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 serie is a better choice. Best affordable phones on the planet :wink:

Does this support sd card with dual SIM

There is no SD slot, so no, but it has 64GB storage so I don't find the lack of SD slot to be an issue. This is an incredible phone for the money, I've had mine for a few months now.
