Haha, very true, I've a few orders on the go at the moment. Ordered one of the wee droids they have on their home page as a secret santa gift amongst other things. Still have folk slating me here for not having the latest iPhone before I sit down and explain the specs of the phone compared to theirs and the fact I paid £106 and they pay £45 a month 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll ever go back to the flagship brands on the UK market. Get far better bang for your buck if you do your research and order wisely from the Chinese market. Their phones are getting better and better, even the lesser known brands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good recommendation. Enjoyed watching all the tests they do to ensure the longevity of the phones; some of them are harsh as f**k! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, theres no point in it sitting in the box on my desk! I paid £190 something for it, including postage but theyre on gearbest for £181, so I guess I'd take £175 plus postage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulderdomb Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Is there a guide/checklist anywhere for being these phones and setting them up for optional performance on the uk network? I’m assuming a lot tweaking goes into these phones post-purchase to actually make them everyday usable? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generally come with the UK play store and, as long as you check the band compatibility before you buy, theres nothing special required to get them working 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
