    No customs €150 in total. In terms of customs charges your mileage may vary...

    The 4x and the z2 can be got for 100 and 160

    If you got them through PM without incurring customs they'd be a good bargain

    No but I have a xiaomi and they're good

    The z2 is the cheapest S820 phone
    for about 200 all-in

    The 4x has a good battery and specs for the price

    The other bargain brand is Leeco

    Go onto kimovil and look at the 25 bestsellers ranked 1-25
