if you can wait 10 to 12 days delivery (no customs as comes through eu) this Mi 9T is pretty much the best phone in that price range

Xiaomi make excellent phones with great price/value ratio

strong cpu - snapdragon 730
128gb
very good triple cameras - main, wide angle, zoom
AMOLED screen with in-screen fingerprint reader
no notch or bezels on front screen as has pop-up selfie camera
big 4000mah battery

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaomi-Mi-9T-Smartphone-Review-A-midranger-with-record-battery-life.428018.0.html

has 3 gps services built in

The Mi 9T uses BeiDou, Galileo, GLONASS and GPS for locations services. Our review unit achieves a satellite fix with up to four metres accuracy wherever we tested it, a feat that not all midrange smartphones can achieve.

big difference between the p20 and the p20 pro in terms of the camera.

they don't have the best rep laptopsdirect

sharp practice if there is any issue and seems pretty risky buying anything refurbished from them

the p20 is not worth 350 euro anymore. maybe the p20 pro new.

the mi 9t is better for less

that's correct. it's new. but in general laptopsdirect is not well regarded - do a search on boards for experiences.

but the attraction of the p20 line was the pro model, not the non-pro one.

the pro had 3 rear camera lenses and better quality ones than the p20 which had only 2.

the pro also has a bigger battery.

also the pro has an oled screen over lcd in the p20.

cheaper

the mi 9t has compared to the p20

better oled screen
more powerful cpu
wide angle, zoom and main rear cameras as opposed to just main on p20
no notch on screen
bigger battery
newer phone overall - p20 is 2017 vs 2019 (mid)

I got the Moto One Vision from Amazon Italy for 260 delivered.

I wanted Android one coming from a A2 lite. I loved it but just wanted a change.
