    Can definitely vouch for the Xiaomi phones. On my second one and are great value. I have the Remi Note 5 which I bought direct from 3 ireland. The 4000mAh battery is definitely a plus. 3 also sell the 7, so you could check out a physical unit in store before buying.

    I wouldnt buy a used phone. Id spend on a new phone - even if its not up to S8 standard. Still good value to be had.
