    Yeh theres a option to mark it cheaper.

    Lovely.
    Now I want this phone to be Rooted with just G Play store and no Chinese bloatware.

    Can anybody tell me if 'Etotalk Mod ROM' will do the job?

    Ha dying to see a review of them, I'd say etotalk were just being scabby and wouldnt drop the prices. I def would recommend a Xiaomi as well, lovely little things.

    I thought they did all the customs stuff in Portlaoise then sent out to the various mall depots. Either way it's a good sign and hopefully will have it by the weekend.

    If its in the mail centre it has already passed customs m8,

    Probably get it tomorrow,unless status has changed by now :)

    Package was in Germany last night and now it's in a courier that will be here at 3! Finally getting my phone after almost 5 weeks. One thing i can't believe at the end of all this is that I managed to avoid customs with DHL :D:D Finally a bit of luck. Will post a quick review of the phone later in case any one is thinking of buying a Nubia Z5s mini. --Price drop coming in them soon apparently. Got mine for 188euro inc delivery

    Why do you think you avoided customs ? DHL will just ask for it when they make delivery if they are looking for it.

    I rang the Dublin number for DHL and gave the tracking no. just so I could check what time it would be here and I asked will there be any customs and they said no.

    Just home, have it! Got stung for 9 euro customs of all things?!!? Aliexpress lied also saying they sent it on 18th March. It wasn't sent until 7th April so the chinese customs story was bull****. Battery is totally flat, charging it now. My sim is just too big to fit in though? It's a normal sized sim. the slot looks too big to be a microsim though :/

    Great start...... Go to any phone shop they will chop the sim down, I would be worried as to why the battery isnt charged :confused:

    it's a built in battery too..... The red ring (home button) on this is glowing on and off charging. I've pressed in the button on top to turn it on a few times and nothing has happened. Ah lads, not off to a great start haha will it ever end


    Update. The Red Ring has stopped glowing and has now allowed me to turn it on. Let the rooting begin!

    Charge it up a bit first before you go flashing or rooting, losing power during either can be nasty.

    Just ordered the Jiayu G5S with a 3000mAh battery from Etotalk.

    This is my first smart phone and the first time I've ordered anything from China so hope all goes well :)

    Really nice phone, has great reviews.

    The 3000mAh battery add-on is a really nice feature of this phone too.

    How much was it in total?

    Only messed around with my Meizu MX3 for about an hour now but I'm in love. Stunning phone in every way so definitely gets my recommendation if you're in the market for another phone.

    It really is, bigger battery would be nice but the rom makes up for it.

    Yeah but if its not set right in the first place you can get random issues like that. Has he factory reset it?
