Seems too good to be true so I'm sure it is.

6gb/128gb, 6.3'' screen, good CPU/GPU. Very high specs, better than a galaxy s9 but for less than £60.

I know there's something up, I'm guessing it's really 2gb/16gb and lesser other specs yet the seller has sold thousands of items and has good ratings.

The other thing is it may not work on EU networks.

Have you ever heard of this phone, thought?

for £60 it is what it is a cheap phone. Only 3G support though too so not great. No idea if it will even work in EU. If you can afford to lose £60 on a gamble then go for it.

I noticed 3G also but found similar phone on Amazon saying it was 4G. Have you ever come across anything like this?

I can always return it the basis of false advertising if it turns out to have crapppy specs.

The picture of the device on Amazon (where it's currently unavailable) is completely different to the one on eBay. On Amazon it looks like a cheap phone. On eBay, the image is probably altered to make it look better.

You're trying to convince yourself that the phone isn't a pig in a poke.

I found a thread on XDA. It's fake, it's 2gb/16gb with an old chipset. Apparently a few people falling into the same trap. They've hard coded the about page to look like high specs.

Just a reminder that there's no free lunches.
