    I'm in the market for a cheap Chinese phone but would prefer to buy from an EU supplier to avoid customs, faster shipping, and ease of return, if necessary. I've found a couple that interest me so far.

    Both similar in spec. Same processor, but the eachine is clocked slightly higher. The eachine also has a slightly better battery and better camera. THL is a better known brand and is fulfilled by amazon, which are some points in it's favour.

    Are these decent deals? Anything else interesting sub ~€150 that ships from the EU?
