There's modified apks on xda that allow HD playback if you worry about said things.

A rich moron can still be a moron.

I still can't understand why anyone would be watching Netflix on their phone anyway.

I see people do it every single day on trains and buses. I do it the odd time myself on flights. It's hardly the most outlandish use of a smartphone!

Fair enough, I just would have thought 10 inch tablets are too cheap now to be watching stuff on a 5-6" screen.

Why are eglobal so slow with delivery?

What I've found in the past is that they always advertise stock when they don't actually have stock. Only issue I'd have with them though.

I dunno, I like to carry as little stuff around with me as I can get away with. That said, I'm very much in the market for a tablet!

When I'm immersed in something the screen size makes very little difference. I have no intention to ever whip out a tablet on the tube/train/bus, my 4-5 inch phone will do perfectly - and also fits in my pocket with no effort. I'd probably also be a bit self conscious about displaying my viewing habits to everyone else on the train e.g. there's a quite a bit of boobage/riding going on in Power, the 12 year old beside me doesn't need to be seeing that :eek:

I'd say the 12 year old beside you has probably been watching hardcore midget porn and beheadings for the past few years anyway

Folks this is 1/3 price of a flagship and almost 1/2 price of flagship killer...you can live with minor issues, inferior build quality, etc....not sure what all the hue and cry is all about...

I think it's something to do with it being brought from the other side of the world for a pittance. Just a hunch though.
Delivery may not be next day, but I'm pretty impressed with their shipping updates - it might all be a fiction but it at least appears that my phone's making daily progress toward my clammy mitts.

Re: Patww79's midget porn, I've always thought, given the high global profiles (in relation to their size) of both Ireland and midget porn, that there's a lucrative niche for some shameless entreporneur, LepraPorn (not to be confused with LeproPorn, which would just be a bit too unpleasant and frankly distracting, with bits dropping off and all that). This is a family thread so I won't go into detail, but suffice to say a little basic colour manipulation of existing oeuvres could yield startling outcomes.

@Roberto_gas You're spot on. It's a roccoculous deal. I really hope this model (producing budget devices with great specs) catches on.

When you consider what €300 will get you in Vodafone or the likes, it's a fantastic deal.

The screen is over 6" on the Pocophone

I meant phones in general. Though if someone is happy to do it, then grand. Means the complaint about resolution on Netflix is redundant at least.

A review by David Lee after using it for a week or so.

Red Lightning · 10-09-2018 10:42AM

Was considering getting a One Plus 6 but was unsure of the price. This phone seems to be perfect at the price for what I would be using it for. Where is the best place to order this from? Thanks

although they don't have the red one in stock at the mo which (aside from the more expensive kevlar backed one) is the best colour imo

delivery in a week to 10 days. no customs or delivery charges

My wife's Pocophone has just been delivered....
I really really want to open and play! But she'll bloody kill me if I do!

ouxbbkqtswdfaw · 10-09-2018 03:08PM

Eglobal? I'm waiting since 22 August. Eglobal might be cheap but if its not in stock, which you don't know, you'll wait. Never again.

Have you checked the tracking information?
Seems pretty informative. Mine's making steady progress toward its new home (assuming it's not all lies!)

EDIT - just checked again - it's arrived in Ireland already! Placed the order 6 days ago and it's already in country! Way quicker than I feared ðŸ˜€

Nice, 15 days isn't bad for a newly released handset.

Let us know how you get on!

Don't know much about dual sim? Is it a positive or a negative?
