Chinese Android Phones 3 - Read First Post!

Any recommendations on something max 450 euro?

Decent battery, smaller (!) screen the better (don't want something 6. 7 inch or so eg Samsung A70 ) something not bulky or hefty, must have NFC for card payments, don't care about 5G, an IP rating would be a plus.

Edit: Mi Note 10 for 410 euro on eGlobal maybe?

Thanks for all suggestions. I'm on GSMArena daily to see what's out there, I'm always changing phones (Buy, sell, trade on adverts!!) In the last month I've had the iPhone 11, Galaxy Note 10+ and Pixel 3A. Using my work phone (P30 - its actually a great phone) now temporarily.

I think I'm going to check out new iPhone SE and Pixel 4A before making any decisions.

Does anyone have experience with Redmi Note 9s?
Seems like good value for money
(apart from the size / weight for me but looks great nonetheless)

Anybody else having trouble after updating the mi max 3 ..to 11.0.1 I think. Battery performance down by 33% service dropping out generally just running poor

I had a look at a few there
The mi note 10 looks good alright. Im also interested in the realme x2 Pro

If anyone has any other suggestions they would be welcome

Thanks

Lads do you think it's better to buy an older flagship (possibly a Galaxy S8 or Note) or buy a cheap Redmi Note 8 as a second phone? Only thing with the older phones is of course the possibility of OLED screen burn in.

My Mi Max 3 is still kicking ass 18 months later, cant fault this kind of battery performance:



Thats light enough usage due to being busy at work, its still usually 3 days.

How do you find the camera software? Reviews online saying it's slow after taking a pic due to the 110mp being processed. Are you seeing that? It out me off buying it. I'd pretty much settled on it until I read that

What's the pic quality like?

this was the review that put me off: https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/reviews/xiaomi-mi-note-10-review

Has anyone ordered and received from Honorbuy.com recently. They usually deliver in a couple of days but they now have a notice on their website saying to be patient, expect delays due to the virus.

Just wondering if the delay is likely days or weeks? Anyone order in last week?

It's universal at the moment. Ordered a phone from amazon.de and other stuff from amazon.co.uk and they're all taking at least a week to be delivered.

I ordered a phone from them on 10th April got it on the 16th. Between Easter and the lockdown I was expecting much longer.

I have an X2. Just use an adapter, 2 pin to 3 pin, it will work just fine.

Or use the USB cable with an Irish plug "head". I have a Samsung USB plug that I got in a charity shop for the princely sum of 3 for €1 (or thereabouts) and the fast charging function works perfectly with it. The USB (USB-C, not Micro-USB) cable was only a metre long, so I got a 2-metres one in Penneys (before the restrictions!) for less than a fiver. Works perfectly with the Samsung plug.
