Xiaomi Redmi Note, Meizu m1 note, Lenovo k3 note are also 3 decent 5.5" phones in that price range.

Anyone have any experience with the Ecoo E04 aurora plus?

Picking one up tomorrow and it looks decent for the price.

Thanks man, I almost bought the Lenovo k3 the other day but couldn't find much reviews on it which stalled me a bit.

Just Purchased the Gionee elife e7. Great specs and it was a flagship device, worth a punt at 175.

Has anyone else bought one of these? what is your opinion? thanks

Have you received the phone yet?

This guy reviews an insane amount of phones http://batista70phone.com/category/video-recensioni/

The videos are in Italian but worth a look just for the scoring comparisons.

I got an email from them this morning (4:30am) saying my phone had arrived into warehouse, (they said the same thing 2 days ago as well though) and would be shipped within 24 hours. Got another email 2 hours ago saying it had been shipped. They really don't seem to have much of a clue what their doing, not too impressed with the service!

Lads anyone hear of this seller ?

http://www.tinydeal.com/mstar-s700-55-ips-ogs-mtk6752-64-bit-android-50-4g-lte-phone-p-150384.html

Looking at this phone, specs look excellent and falls with price range, what do ye think?

Xiaomi are launching their offical EU store on Tuesday, they only have the newer devices, so we have an official retailer now.

There's a French, German, UK and US site, so at worst we will have to buy in sterling and use parcel motel.

http://www.mi.com/en/store/

savemejebus

Isn't that site going to be for accessories only?

Digital Solitude

It appears so after looking another bit. Dammit. I was excited there for a bit

I would be suprised if they destroyed one of them, what does the tracking info show ? Have you confirmed that it was destroyed by customs ?

Nope, just speculation/arse-covering from the post-office. Probably nicked it themselves.

Bizarrely, Joe Duffying the seller seems to have got me somewhere. After I sent them a cringey 'how dare you, the internet shall hear of this!' mail they backed down and said they'd resend for free.

Although it probably really will be a dead rodent in a box this time.

All seems very strange. The tracking should at least tell you how far it got, if it go to Ireland, it should then say 'sent to customs' or something.

I posted that phone earlier in the thread, looks good for the price, but note that they have it as 'PRE-SALE'.

Hi guys, some fantastic 5.5 inch phones out there at the moment but I'm really happy with my Redmi 1s (recommended on this thread!) so far even though it's old news now but I've Cyanogenmod on it and Lollipop.

My Mom is looking for a phone that's around 5 inches (4.5 to 5.5 or whatever is close) and is less than €70. She'd be stepping up from a tiny 2012 Samsung on Gingerbread so performance wouldn't be a big issue. Any tips?

fitzer1982

Can anyone give me a good recommendation for a 5.5, good community behind would be a big plus. Oh and a small price tag would be great. So basically i want it all and I want it cheap

I got a Cubot S208 for one of my friends a few months ago, think it was €85

He says it's grand, but at that budget you're just looking at varying degrees of crap

the 1s looks like its 4.7 screen?

There are so many phones out there now, I think it is hard to get a community behind many of them.

Tis but it's a great phone and well supported by a strong community.

Elephone p7000 looks good too.

Digital Solitude

Sorry I'm thinking of the Redmi Note, think its priced a little higher.

You can't look past Xiaomi when you're after a community though

fitzer1982

Any sites with EU stock? that elephone looks class
