delighted finally have a new decent phone(coming from a 2gb redmi 4a)

Its a nice piece of kit. I think the Mi9T is the exact same phone by different name and its class. Screen is nice and big and video plays brilliant on it and the camera is quality too.

Like the spec of phone like this for a fraction of the price you would pay for a samsung / sony or apple. Even Huawai have become priced over the top. I just dont know why people do it.

Different specs, screens etc, but still decent for the price.

Safety in brands I suppose. Huawei has gone dear for what used to be great value for money. It was a gamble with the standalone brands a few years back, I recall ditching an oukitel as the specs didn't deliver the experience but its difficult being a standalone company in such a big market. At least realme etc has the backing and expertise to be good.

needed something cheap for my 15 yr old after my old previously trusty old samsung galaxy note 4 he had handed down to him finally died.
anyway...grabbed a umidigi a5 pro for 100 sterling on amazon today...seemed to have decent enough reviews for its price.....anyone here familiar with it ?

Good luck with it,no need to blow hundreds at all,,,,,,you will though in a few years

I have had a few Umidigi decent enough phone, I haven't had the A5 Pro though.
My friends daughter has the last one I bought, it would be just under a year now and it's still going strong (as would be expected) and she loves it.

I ordered a phone from Honorbuy on Saturday, I thought it would get shipped today but it's still saying processing. Do Honorbuy send you an email when it has shipped? I've never bought from them before.

Hi All,

Whats good with Xiaomi lately. Friend looking for an iphone 11 but fancies a Xiaomi.

HOWEVER also only wants to spend about 250 quid.

To be fair they are upgrading from an iphone 6 so anything will be magnificent.

(I'm aware nothing will come close to that spec but what is as good as can be got?)

Could do worse than this

Just got my shipping email in the last couple of hours.

Anyone seen the Mi Watch Color on sale to outside China yet? Fossil died and it looks like a great WearOS option.

I have a realme x2 and its a serious phone. Got it from Amazon Spain. 310 including delivery.

Realme5 Pro is circa 250 I believe and from what ive read is a serious phone too. Ordered one for mother, brother, and sister in law lol. The RealmeX2 really impressed me. Good camera, crazy quick charging. Battery lasts the full day with heavy usage. great screen, decent speakers. I even quite like colourOS even though people rag on it. Some great features IMO
