Irish Bricks & Mortar Stores: Apple has 2 reseller chains, Equivalent for Android?

    Some will say Carphone warehouse.

    Is there a Nationwide Alternative though?

    I bought a smartphone lens accessory set in a bricks & mortar store recently.
    It's quite good, but was impressed on the outlet's blank stare when I told them I was looking high and low for this kit (not the cheap ones for 12 euro)

    Apple is a h/w brand, Android is an OS which comes on most non-Apple smartphones and tablets but the transaction involves you purchasing a Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, Motorola or other device i.e. you don't 'buy' Android as a separate product.

    I'm not sure what you're looking for.

    There can't be an Android alternative. None of manufacturers that use Android as their operating system have stores though if that's what you mean

    That's a specialist accessory which you'll likely have to either travel elsewhere for or buy online. It's unlikely you'll find something like that in a phone shop. Possiblity of getting it through a camera shop though.

    Just do your own research and buy online. I avoid bricks and mortar stores because you have sales staff bending over backwards telling me what they think I want to hear trying to sell me sh1te
