Phones/tablets on Asian websites

    I came across a few Chinese/Singaporean website which, to the naked eye, have unbelievable deals on tablets and network unlocked phones. Just wondering if anybody has had any dealings with such websites and while I accept that they may be very reliable as far as delivery of product goes, how reliable are the products once they land.

    I only ask because I met a guy in Cork while I was working down there a few yrs ago who bought knock off iPhones from a guy on the street (or so the story goes) but they weren't as described. I just wonder how likely this is to happen if I bring em in from a retailer who seems to have a good reputation (I found the site here on another forum, can't remember where).

    there's a long thread on Chinese android phones here which includes reviews of various Chinese websites supplying them.

    In summary - a few years ago most Chinese phones were poor-quality iPhone knockoffs, but you can now get good quality, high-spec Android phones for very good prices. Read the thread, there's loads of useful information in there.

    Thanks for that. I was on the mobile when I posted that and never even checked for a similar thread. First rule of threads.... check if someone got there first.

    Mods... feel free to merge or delete as you see fit.
