umm .. not sure what to say about this.
Grey import / No Band 20 / 1080p screen (not that its an issue just for the spec). I mean yes nice spec CPU etc but the negatives here don't really add up to me for the money. Maybe i'm missing something?

Your not, its the ceramic construction that is the major selling point here, and its a lot of cash for a lot of unknowns

Im an owner of a oneplus X with no B20 from a few years back. So yeh i can see the value in grey exports when it works. but then i paid £170 which for the spec was fantastic. £340 just seems a lot for the trade offs. each to their own though.

I think it would be fair to say tho that the OPX was an upper mid range phone and the Mi 6 is definitely flagship grade.
I do totally understand people would be reluctant to part with such a lot of cash for a device from China but the savings are there if you're prepared to 'risk' it. And not really sure how much of a risk it actually is these days. I've had at least 10 phones from China in the past 3 years and only once, in the very early days, did I have any cause for complaint.
Admittedly there are HUKD members who have horror stories to share but I can't help think that they are a tiny minority of members who haven't had any problems.

Just wondering did you get your oneplus x direct from oneplus as I am currently using a oneplus x bought direct from oneplus just after release it has band 20 and was only £199 at the time
Sagacity to malky39
25 Sep 17#22
No I got it from eglobal. It's the e1001 model. No band 20. At the time it was fair bit more than £199 direct. You got a good deal :smile:

So much complaining about no B20 on every single Chinese phone deal. Don't buy the phone if your network relies on B20, stop whining.

I do think the OP or at least fellow HUKDer should mention the lack of band 20, so I actually appreciate it when someone mentions it. I want the phone to have the basics. Should I go abroad I want the phone to be able to roam onto any network bands it can get ahold of. it's always worth mentioning.

25 Sep 17#10
I hope you're not suggesting that the lack of Band 20 for the UK market is a deciding factor on you roaming in foreign coutnries...
Niz to Sc0tchland
25 Sep 17#16
Yes I am suggesting it. Band 20 is the most important even in the UK so its a easy argument right there. However the reason why its worth mentioning for roaming is that you can roam on any network, the last thing you want is to be stuck somewhere with a phone that doesn't support a band so your phone refuses to pull any data. It's really not worth it IMO and I rarely travel.
noirnaranja to Niz
25 Sep 17#17
Not looking to get into a slanging match here but I think your comment is bizarre. Unless I've misunderstood things massively, band 20 is only a 4g band. And I'm not an expert but I don't think anywhere is 4g-only? Maybe somewhere like South Korea perhaps. So it's unlikely/not going to happen that you'd be stuck without data wherever you travel?
To me the chance to own a flagship grade phone for £200 less than a similarly specced UK device more than makes up for the (at most) minor inconvenience of occasionally having to wait an extra 2 seconds for a website to load :joy:

I kid you not went to germany last week. I was manually selecting between networks, some only showed 4G, I admit I did not get a situation of that being the only signal BUT I did have situations where the 4G worked but the 3G did not (for data). I would get signal where as the people I were with had nothing (referring to data), to be fair it was down to my manual intervention.
That said I get your point, its a trade up. Glad we could argue without getting dirty :imp:

£ 339 down the drain on phone which will not work properly in this country. No shortage of similar phones with B20 . Even Xiaomi makes some of them like Mi Mix 2

Hi Sam, thanks for your input. I've not been posting deals for long but have been lurking for a while and can see that this seems to be a particular bugbear of yours.
While I understand your concerns about a lack of Band 20, and wish that all phones would have 800MHz, having owned many non-band 20 phones myself I can honestly say that it's never made a discernible difference to me.
Please bear in mind that for most people the phone is their personal Swiss army knife. Phone, mobile Internet terminal, media player, camera etc. The fact that O2 customers won't be able to get 4g data isn't the be all and end all. Annoying, but not much more. Even then, it's not like they cannot use mobile Internet, just not at 4g speeds.

Unfortunately you're wasting your effort speaking about your own experience with non B20 phones since Sam will continue to disregard these kinds of comments in favour of his subjective opinion:
He has lied to other members many times in the past by saying lack of B20 means it will be a mini tablet and won't work as a phone in UK. He cannot fathom the idea that other people may not require B20 or find no issue lacking it: hotukdeals.com/com…363 hotukdeals.com/com…426

My view on this would be that you are not choosing particularly good phones if having to change every couple of months, so the Mi 6 being the best one you have ever had isn't that big an accolade?
