I just realised that I can get the Redmi Note 9 Pro for just 20 bucks more than I got the Note 9S for and that's practically the same phone!

Thanks for all the help and info guys, ordered poco f2 pro via Ali express, dispatching from Poland, and via Topcashback

I reckon it cost me about 315 +/- when cash back is taken into consideration. €€€€€

Yes it's free shipping, and you don't need a plug adaptor, not if it's an EU plug.

The F2 is available from a lot of sellers on Ali for @€;320, and there's @7% cashback via TCB too.

An example

I will add though, mine has shipped this morning, but I think shipped from China, so I assume it goes from China - Poland to Ireland?

Is it for watching youtube, general browsing etc? Plenty of cheap/mid range phones that would do. If its for gaming as well might need to be towards mid spec. What sort of budget?

YouTube really maybe a small bit of gaming but basic games not the like of Fortnite on mobile..

Check out the F2 Pro that was linked a few posts back. Below your budget.

I received the Oppo Reno 2 yesterday. It's still very early days, and I have to figure out how to properly use it but so far it is a lot more faster and clearer than the S8. Included in the box is a fitted screen protector (I'm almost certain) and a rear decent quality cover. Other manufacturers should take note !

I've been using this for a few days now. Little different to Samsung (been using them for the past 10 odd years). I have to say I am hugely impressed. Brilliant battery,screen, storage is phenomenal and the speed of outstanding. I know it's very early days but with the savings since I moved to gomo and bought this phone outright if it goes band after 12 months I'm still saving money..

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the realme x50 pro. But I'm a bit concerned about the escalations between the US and China, what does it mean for access to Google Play etc? I've tried to look it up but it's a bit unclear. Does it mean that existing phones will have access but phones that are in development may not have access??

Edit: I guess really what I'm asking is how has this effected anyone with a Huawei phone?

dedaw · 04-09-2020 1:03pm

Looking to spend around 200 for a new phone. The Redmi note 9 pro is the ideal with good camera and big battery.
The 64gb is coming in just under that with Tecobuy.co.uk
Anyone any experience with them?
Seem to be based in Hong Kong, mixed reviews on Trust pilot.
Thanks.

I guess Germany or UK would be better bet, I had just edited above when I saw your post.
France and Spain have virtual addresses but they are mad money.

UK if they deliver to those addresses is extra €4 the 128GB being the better price.

Or Germany would be probably maximum of €15 extra, but I would guess less.

Are Mail box de reliable enough? Don't know if I should hold off till honor buy are selling it. They seem to be expensive these days
