    Are the Samsung A70 phones on Adverts for €330-€350 genuine or just some kind of Chinese replica?

    I've no idea but if you want to buy from somewhere with a good returns policy you can get them for that price on Amazon.co.uk

    If you read other posts on here then you will see that many people say that many of the phones on Adverts have been bought on a contract in another country and then the contract is not paid and the phones are sold here. As a consequence many of these phones are barred from networks in other countries so you will have problems if you try to roam with that phone in that country.

    On a moral level in such a situation you are effectively handling stolen goods.

    Amazon .de .it .fr .es all have the A70 available in the price range of €330-350. Buying directly from Amazon rather than a marketplace seller will give you the best in terms of guarantee and customer service.

    Yes I just looked at Amazon.de and they are sold by Amazon as a German phone? Are they locked to Germany?

    The UK version by the same seller (Amazon.de) is like €450+

    What's the difference between Italian German and French models?

    I wouldn't be put off buying from adverts to be honest. Just go with a buyer with lots of good feedback and no negative. I've bought many phones from there over the years and haven't got a dud yet. You just need to go in with your eyes open and you won't get scammed.

    Same here. I've bought and sold loads of phones on adverts with no issues. I have lots of good rep and would only buy from someone with the same. I'd never buy a phone off Donedeal..

    Just got the July update. I've had the phone about 3 weeks now. Its unbelievable value and not too big at all. I've had an A50 too. Both solid phones. Amazing battery life and snappy.
