New phone. Chinese?

tiffanys · 11 Sep 2017 at 09:55

So i am looking for a new phone. on the moto g the screen broke (the outer glass, not the screen itself) and either looking to replace the outer glass or buy a brand new chinese phone sub 100 if the repair cost is too high.
any suggestions as to which chinese phone will be good for everyday use (running android).

I had been at the umi crystal and Leagoo T5

It's likely the Xiaomi Mi A1 is becoming the defacto meme phone. I think a couple of guys in the Chinese phone thread have ordered one so when they report back we'll find out what they're like as a UK person.

Avoid Umi and Leagoo, poor software support. Only worth going for is Xioami phones.

Some pretty good deals around at the moment on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (Global Edition) listed on hotukdeals from the usual online resellers. They were around the OPs budget unlike the A1 which is quite a bit more.

You might be able to get the Google Camera apk on your phone.
Photos looked better to my eyes with it on my Xiaomi Mi5s.
