There's no release date for the International version yet

Thanks I'll keep an eye out. It looks really good and if the battery is good I'll be a happy man

Use the ESCrow method on aliexpress

I got as far as the screen that has the “Place Order” button, is there an escrow option further on? I’ve never used escrow, is it a sub-option within a visa payment?

Just thinking about the other issue which is that the page for entering personal details is not a secure page regardless of the payment options. I had a look at merimobiles, they use paypal and have the Jiayu S3. Price a little higher by the looks of it but might be worth it.

I'm looking at the ZUK Z1, 4100mah battery, released sometime in September

I also take a look for that phone recently, it has released in China last week, the appearance of phone is similar to iPhone I think.

Anyone used this phone? The battery life is very appealing. 6000mah:eek:


yes, really appealing, but the 6000mAh battery is divided into two parts, one for 2480mAh, another for 3520mAh, I don't think it is convenient

The Zuk z1 looks like an option so.

About $299 and no invite system. Will have to wait a few weeks for details though I suppose. September is always a big tech release month normally, no?

2nd umi iron arrived the other day. Gonna stick it up on adverts. If anyone is interested let me know.

no invite system is good, the details of ZUK Z1 I found are 5.5-inch full HD display, 4100 mAh capacity battery, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB RAM, 64 GB storage, 13-megapixel main camera, 8-megapixel selfie shooter, a reversible Type-C port and fingerprint sensor. Really attractive.

Interested too Daytob. Am sure you'll sell it no problem.

I've come full circle with deciding on what phone. In other words I have no clue.

F*ck it.. I'll get the new iPhone. :pac:

I know.. that sort of talk is a kin to blasphemy.

I like the look of the Jiayu S3.. but want Android 5. But I think I've seen that an official flash package of Lollipop will be available soon.
Also like Redmi Note 2 but want it in blue and don't know how long I'll be waiting for it. And all this talk of a new processor is annoying.

I'd say you might be in danger of being banned for back-seat modding!! :eek:

new oppo r5s is €199 for a few days on https://europe.oppostyle.com/r5s-grey - good deal I reckon though this phone won't be for everyone.

Received my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 today. Came installed with Google Play Store and no Chinese bloatware. Just charging it now and it will be lunchtime before I play around with it. The screen is gorgeous.

Possibly interested in this too. How much are you looking for?

yes

it'd take a right shill to re-reg with a similar username and start his game back up!

anyway, my post stands, someone made a thread in the same forum - good deal for all you Chinese Android Phone hunters - ships from Europe too I think

Tis a good phone for the price but it's the 4G thing that stops me buying certain phones. I can live without 4G if I wasn't paying for it on my contract.

it is 4g just limited to the specific 1800mhz band which we use (I am reliably told in the other thread)

it's a good alternative to the UMI Iron given it's Amoled screen and form factor in particular.

Yeah, IIRC he was on here shilling for a while.

Oppo r5s only has a 2000mAh battery, though, bit light for a screen that size. Nice looking phone, though.
