I got the X2. We also have a oneplus7 in the house, so I've had the chance to compare the two.

The oneplus7 is a better build no doubt but at 310 euro including postage the X2 was impossible to pass up.

Is the x2 better specs than the mi 9T

Eglobal are fine if you're not in a hurry. Prices are fine.

similar processor, build and cameras. Main difference 9T has a pop up selfie camera, X2 has SD card slot, 9T aluminium frame X2 glass and plastic, camera spec seems slightly better on X2. Both will be upgraded to android 10. Option of 8 GB ram with X2.

Very similar phones.

I've ordered 3 phones from Eglobal. First 2 arrived fine, just a little slow on delivery - around 2-3 weeks from order.

Ordered a phone on 28th November from them for Xmas and it still hasn't arrived. Their customer service are very unhelpful and will not send a refund or replacement until the shipping company confirm it is lost. I spoke to the shipping company direct 10 days ago and they've confirmed it is lost. Very frustrating, family members Xmas present too.

Just my experience but won't be using them ever again.

AFAIK, Paypal is particularly useful for these types of situations.

I paid through PayPal, I'll open a dispute with them today I think.

You'll get refunded

Seller will have to provide tracking/proof of delivery to counterclaim

Cheers. Any recommendations for a reliable company from where I should order? Just not to derail the thread totally! I had originally ordered a Mi A3

Sounds like you were rushing the whole thing up at xmas

I get refunded every second week off Amazon without issue

But why would they give date for
À receiving item and
B tracking number that never worked

Rushing or not that's shoddy
I have given myself enough time according to their timeline.orderdd 12th for 19th delivery.

Have you tried www.honorbuy.com ? I've used them a good bit and not had any issues touch wood.

Mishap I guess

I deal with them constantly and return , refund stuff all the time, their priority is the customer




..Now Jeff bezos didn't make 200 billion looking after his workers or affiliates but that's another matter

DonnieCorko

Have to say Amazon really are brilliant. Very good for refunding or resending stuff etc. particularly compared to other companies. The RealMe X2 has been reduced in price to 270 aswell on Amazon Spain at the moment. Great price IMO if you are looking for phone in this price range.

Anyone here buy or own the Mi Note 10 yet? Any feedback on how it runs , is the camera the business etc

Yeah I've had at least four orders from eglobal and never had an issue.... Maybe its part lucky?

Once you accept that it's gonna take up to four weeks for delivery then it can be seen as good value.

Have one , great phone so far, slippy though,decent sound/ wifi, camera superb in day time,not so great in night time
Big without being intrusive,but TBH coming from a mi max 2 it's a bit too skinny/ small for my big hands, might look for a wider,bigger one.
Amoled screen is beautiful

That's the problem I've had a bad experience with them,you're the opposite,so not steady like Amazon,once bitten for me,,,
