    OK, sound. Did you notice anything wrong or does it seem to work fine?

    My z9 mini will be here tomorrow. Heading stateside for the summer on Monday so I've thrown my thl 5000 on adverts if any one is interested. I didn't link it here as I feel that's probably against the rules but sure just search thl 5000 anyway and I'm there with the screenshots! Cheers :)

    I'll post a review of the z9 mini too

    Only issue that happened twice since Friday was a screen issue that made it flicker

    I think it's from getting warm so just turned screen off or closed apps.

    What day did you order? You swayed me towards the Z9 Mini so I ordered on Thursday! Pretty sure from the same seller too

    I think I ordered it last Tuesday and then on Wednesday the dhl tracking came online and it was in Gatwick. It hadn't moved until today when I emailed the seller telling her I was leaving the country so she emailed the supplier and now it will be delivered tomorrow it says! :)

    I went for the 32gb micro sd add on , still ended up being a brilliant price with the uk warehouse!

    My gf has a Galaxy S4 with a broken screen. She wants to upgrade to a refurb - I suggested something from China. What would you recommend as a replacement with similar or better specs in around €180-200 ?

    When you say in Gatwick, did it say "Shipment information received"? Mine says that with Gatwick next to it since Friday. Hopefully I get it by Friday :)

    someone should have warned you off buying SD cards from China, complete waste of money.

    The ones you buy on separately are nearly guaranteed to be duds. Especially that one I think everybody sees which say "The brand of quality"... even though there's no brand on it!
    The ones that come bundled with phones are usually OK though.

    SD cards are cheap enough here, buying them with the phone just adds to the value for customs too.

    Well according to XE.com it is I've also seen a price somewhere for 125$ great spec for the price.


    7,000.00 INR = 98.3584 EUR
    Indian Rupee ↔ Euro
    1 INR = 0.0140512 EUR 1 EUR = 71.1683 INR

    Cant go wrong with Jiayu

    http://www.etotalk.com/jiayu-s3-316gb-black_p7956.html

    Though if she wants similar size to the S4

    http://www.etotalk.com/xiaomi-m3-16g_p3805.html

    Im only using Etotalk as an example, check merimobiles, aliexpress, coolicool, etc for cheaper prices.

    Get the 64gb Mi3 if she opts for it. Its a wonderful phone, my favourite ever, but 16gb is not enough storage

    Good god the battery is draining like mad on this too!

    Wasn't this the P3000s

    The battery on mine struggled to last a day,but I uninstalled Divide and just used the stock email instead and its up to 1day 9hrs and still got 23%

    That's the best it has ever performed

    When I came to Dubin for Punchestown, it struggled to last the day, so hopefully its turned the corner by removing the one app

    Strange :(

    I don't have any experience with Chinese Androids so far, but this one looks almost too good for the price. Cyanogen is looking awesome on it too! Anyone any idea where you could pick one up?
