Which Xiaomi is £50? So first you insult someone on a £100 Xiaomi thread, by suggesting they're unable to afford any better. Now instead of justifying your comments, you make a snide remark towards Xiaomi on a different thread. What baffles me is that here is a comment from you on a Xiaomi Redmi 4A thread, which seems like you were looking for advice on getting it as a replacement to your Z3 Compact with broken screen. The Redmi 4A is the cheapest of all current Xiaomi phones, but on the Redmi 4X thread you said "Just because you can only afford poverty spec chinese rubbish.. no need to take it out on other people" even though it's higher up and more expensive than the phone you were enquiring about.

Good price for a specc'd phone but the 1 month delivery estimate is a big big put off. I've had bad experiences with the date usually being toward the end of the estimate....

It shows EUR 589.90 + delivery charge ?

Good price compared to rip off Samsung!

SHOULD I SAY MY PAYMENT METHOD IS GBP AS THE TOTAL AT END OF CHECKOUT COMES TO GBP 518.54.
caps. oops. should i pay saying my card is euros or pounds

Thats what I've done

The price is adjusted at the checkout, see my screenshot.

Not so much about the money. It's not knowing which of the 30+ days it will arrive on and making sure that you are home or arrangements with delivery....

What's it's selling point over the G5? Specs look quite similar.

or you could wait two months and the price would probably go down closer to £400. This is an incremental upgrade to the v20..

Is it as good as an LG 4+ ?

love the look of the camera on this phone but I've had 2 LG phones both have boot looped ,not had great service off LG either.

Why have this phone when you can have a chinese xiaomi for £50 :smile:

Oh my god, that the best price possible for the G6 by far in the next few months. It is not going to go to £400 for dreamers. Even the LG G5 didnt go there until this year. So you can forget that happening. :smiley:

Very HOT.

Don't forget import tax...

oh wait that's after Brexit

Who is the seller? Its not amazon

LG tend to decrease in price quicker than the competition - I'd wait two months.

i opted for a brand new s7edge from famous auction site for £370 and couldn't be happier after my G3 went dead.

Who said Samsung are better phones???

And S7 edge is no way comparable to this phone. They are way different from each other released as flagships in different years. Obviously will be cheaper. So cant really compare.

got an email. ''Gentile Cliente, Siamo lieti di comunicarti che il seguente articolo verrà spedito prima del previsto:''
tldr its coming between may 5th and 9th

How are they not comparable lol, qhd, 4gb ram, 32gb rom, similar speed cpu, only real difference seems to be is s7 has better camera and screen.

Oh yes and s7 edge also has wireless charging, bigger battery and gorilla glass 4

Sorry I forgot g6 was only just released so must be best thing since slice bread :roll eyes:

not true. i bought a Samsung few years back and was a network upgrade, went to Samsung after few months for repair and they honoured it.

Looks like they will ship next week as showing order within ex hours... should this work in UK ?

Take a risk and buy the superior dual-SIM 64 Gb Quad DAC Hong Kong/Russian version for £469....
Just need to find out if LG have a global warranty....

NB some people prefer the bass response from the V20 v the LG G6 QDac.

I admit I am not sure about the reviewer HiFi cred...

how does ordering a phone from an EU amazon work? do phones sometimes have differences between UK and EU countries? Presume you need to buy a UK plug?

Thanks. interested in the Huawei Nova so was asking for that reason but hoping to find it less than 250 as it's expensive otherwise

Have a look which of the Amazon EU sites are cheapest. It just takes a bit of time to go through DE, ES, FR and IT and then run the lowest price (which you have to get at the checkout as the prices sometimes change and you need to see what delivery costs) through XE.com and compare it to the lowest UK price you can find.

Bear in mind, you'll need to price in a UK charger any fees your bank/CC company may charge you if you're going to buy from another EU country. You'll only get the straight exchange rate price if you have something like a Halifax Clarity CC which doesn't charge fees.

As a starting point for you, the Nova is £280 SIM free in both Black and Gold from Carphone Warehouse in the UK.

thanks for that, great help.

last question- should I only use amazon or is it okay to use third party sellers on amazon?

That's entirely down to your own appetite for risk.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a £250-300 phone from a 3rd party seller on Amazon, even highly rated seller on Amazon UK. However, I have bought low value stuff from 3rd party sellers on Amazon countless times and it almost always goes without a hitch.

has anyone actually pulled the trigger on this deal, or is it just been posted and no one has used it ?

wait for one plus 5. don't waste your money on scrap

Your statement is simply not true 'my friend'. Samsung will honour the two year warranty for a Samsung phone originally intended for the UK market (perhaps even the european market but I cannot confirm). I have sourced almost new Samsung refurb phones for my family and I for well over five years now. Purchased from Amazon warehouse, curry's fleabay, smartfone warehouse etc. Twice, phones have needed repair and on both occasions Samsung did not ask for proof of purchase. They even couriered them back and forth because I live 60 miles from a Samsung service centre. Excellent service. They calculate a guarantee expiry date from info contained the device serial number.

As contrast, the fleet has included two LG phones. The LG3 is still going strong after two years and Mrs topazz loves it but the LG4 got the boot loop after four months and LG's customer service was appalling. Non existent in fact. Got a refund and bought an open box S7 instead. Ace phone. That 'my friend' is why I am prepared to pay a little bit extra for a Samsung. I advise you get your facts right next time.

Incidentally, curry's fleabay have refurb/open box Samsung s7's for £334 and s7 edges for £384 last time I looked a few days ago. Come with their own 12 month gtee plus of course the remaining balance of Samsung's own 2 year gtee.

Thank you for your reply.

I have based my response based on what Samsung clearly specifies on the warranty terms and conditions and what they have confirmed for me on Samsung Support.

Yes, they are based on serial number and it is quite possible that someone selling a s7 on ebay may have a serial number corresponding to something that was manufactured a year back and hence you get only 1 year warranty based on serial number.

And in addition to that ebay as a platform is not secure like retailers such as Amazon or brick and mortar stores. You can find loads of phones that are stolen and eventually buyers report that the phone was blocked but they cant do anything about it after a few months.

So, even if you had a good experience from the items you purchased it still does not change the fact that Samsung wont provide 2 years warranty unless you have got a UK phone and with a VAT proof of purchase and preferably from a good retailer to avoid phone scams. Its as simple a fact as it is :smiley:

I am simply stating that on both the occasions I have needed Samsung service, they have not asked for proof of purchase and I have not provided it. Lets just leave it there.

Isn't this for the stunted version? I'd rather get the enhanced, Korean version with dual-SIM, 64Gb, quad-DAC & also has 4G B20 support. They are £430 on eBay from a French-based seller. Not sure it's a risk worth taking though?

Seems like your stuck between a rock and a hard place, you want a Korean version but you don't trust the people who sell it....

LG did not honour fixing my bootlooped G4 thanks to eGlobal. Genuinely appalled with how they dealt with this. I've lost faith in their CS and their products.
