Can you provide an example of such a phone with a Snapdragon and 6gb of memory + 64gb storage?

Very good spec, but who knows how good is it in reality..??..is it so difficult to find a proper name for their phones, I think Im going for a moto g this time, I had enough bullying from my colleagues last year, when I show them my new "great value" chinese phone...

Your friends are probably apples target market. Think a Moto G is equally as s**t in their eyes probably....

A working link?
All I get when I search Google is MEIZU M1.

The link to Gearbest from HUKD works fine, if you have an issue with Google best to email Sundar Pichai.

Even Kimovil don't list this phone. And I'm getting the same result as the earlier poster when googling it. Bizarre.
Looks a great phone for the price, dual cameras, Amoled screen, Metal body, Gorilla Glass and the better P25 processor, however, for whatever reason, they chose to only go with a 720P screen which is about as much use as a chocolate tea pot! Very strange decision by the manufacturer.

I would be more tempted by the UMI P20 phone, on pre sale at bang good for about £141. I have had my UMI phone over 2 years now and have really liked it. Might be time to upgrade with this: UMI Z1

SORRY - Both the link and GOOGLE search are now working on my laptop (ODD?)

There are a couple of "review" videos on yt (more like unboxing tbh) and looks quite decent, smooth experience. At least not any worse than similar named phones...if I didn't want a good camera this time, I would probably have taken the punt...

Never in a million years would I buy this at this price, may as well flush your money down the toilet!

Plus 20% VAT.
Plus import/delivery charges.
This is going to come out north of £200 for most people. Of course it might get through for some, but customs are pretty hot on Gearbest stuff at the mo.

After my bad experience with Chuwi tablet, I will never spend significant money for unknown or not very well known Chinese brands.
The big players like Lenovo, Xiaomi,Huawei,ZTE or OPPO fine, otherwise NOPE unless I can afford a total loss with a smile.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Global Edition. Much better choice - you can get it from anywhere between £120 and £140.
