    They are bulletproof phones.
    Bought one for my mother in law last week and it was 230 euro.

    I have the note 7 for the last 2 1/2 years. Sorely tempted to buy this, but the 7 just keeps on going, fantastic phone and a great alternative to Samsung.

    I've a Note 5 I smashed the screen on and made a bit of a mess of the replacement. Excellent phones and if it wasn't for my clumsiness it's still great in terms of performance and battery. My one concern was the battery longevity but 18 months in and having been very much put through its paces it's still I'd estimate 90%.

    Great price for sure but dig deep enough and you’ll find feedback on that seller is 20%, a tiny number of overall feedbacks - including one complaining some goods were sent from China.

    For anyone on Vodafone PAYG plans, are there any issues with tethering and editing APNs?

    There were problems in the past with Xiaomi phones and APNs, just wondering if this is still the case.

    Seriously don't know, didn't even look. I presume covered by European warranty at worse.

    Dang, I ordered one of these the day it was put up in the thread... is it that nothing is going to come at all, or that it will come from China on the slow boat? Should I be worried about my card details?!

    I picked one up yesterday in store and it was €99 although they force you to buy €20 credit

    Do Vodafone PAYG phones always come unlocked? I bought a Pixel 3a earlier in the year that was so I'm hopeful but it's an Xmas present so can't check myself
