Looking into a non-brand Android phone...

    I'm looking at getting a non-brand Android, something like this:

    Mobistel Cynus T5

    Anyone know of any others? I probably wouldn't go the China route as wouldn't be pushed about working with bootloaders/ROMS etc.

    Are there any other non-brands available in Europe?

    Can I ask why you would want that over a Nexus 4?

    Is Nexus 4 easily available here? Or do you have to use Flubit?

    Every phone has a brand, the one you linked to is Mobistel :confused:

    Ok, not a Samsung Galaxy, or HTC One - just something a bit cheaper e.g. that Mobistel seems to be a vanilla brand, its the same as a Micromax something or other in India.

    Posting from one now, the flubit and Parcel Motel is the way to go for a Nexus, failing that Adverts.ie is your only man, a lot of people received 2 of them by mistake and put the spares on Adverts, might be worth looking into before spending your cash on a Chinese phone that you have little or no comeback with!

    Thanks, will look into the Flubit process. Mobistel seems to be a German company, thought there might be a bit more comeback that way.

    This one looks very nice.

    Some nice comparisons on YouTube comparing it to phones like the S4.
