      No NFC? No Android pay. No buy.

      Android Pay would be fairly low down on my list of wants on a phone...good phone for that price and Def worth the money

      Don't care about Android pay but I use NFC for topping up my Leap card all the time. Looks like a great spec otherwise though.

      Don't see why, you're buying it from Spain which is inside the EU.

      Is it like gearbest EU warehouse though where you must send it back to china it it develops an issue?
      You can get the blackview P2 or Ulefone power 2 with similar specs from amazon (fulfilled by) for not a lot more.

      The website is a Spanish domain, but the company's home is China. It's in the "about us" "Sobre nosotros" section.

      Lads, I'd be wary about these high spec very cheap devices. Look at this thread about a similar phone from not too long ago:

      http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=103653979

      At least wait a little while for people to review it.

      On the Vernee range - It is noted on XDA that their devices (Apollo/Thor) are somewhat inferior to older model phones (different brands).

      As above - id wait and see what the general consensus is before jumping. Bear it in mind that reviews in the open already are generally paid and quite biased - as with a lot of new phones. Real world reviews is where you want to look out for.

      Right so have this a month or so. No major issues as of yet. Takes a while to set up to your liking but once done holds charge well. Extremely quick on 4g..lightning on wifi . Multiple heavy usage apps not a bother. Excellent for gaming. Great screen for videos. Sound is good but calls a little metallic. Camera not as good as samsungs equivalent but perfectly acceptable. its well worth the money. I paid €160. Did get stung for €48 customs tho.

      Still not at lot of reviews but stacks up well for price point

      I have this phone and Googled the dimensions and saw that it's very close to two of the Samsung J7's (I think it was the 2016 and 2017 versions but I could be mistaken).

      However, of you're just looking for one of those wallet cases I got one that fits perfectly from eBay. I just choose the biggest size - http://m.ebay.ie/itm/Universal-Wallet-Card-Slot-Leather-Stand-Case-Cover-3-0-quot-to-6-0-quot-Mobile-Phones-/291293427877

      My husband got one for a different phone (Uni Plus E) which would have fit fine too, he got the one for the Lenovo ZUK Z1. http://m.ebay.ie/itm/Leather-Wallet-Card-Flip-Stand-Case-Cover-For-Lenovo-ZUK-Z1-Smartphone-Strap-/272198731731

      With the above two cases your phone just attached too them using a sticky pad so they would probably fit every phone, the one annoyance would be lining up the camera with the hole in the back.
