**** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

Makes no odds. If you have paid the vat, you have paid the vat. They can't change you when you have already paid, that's the point.

Yeah but when you check out with AliExpress, tax isn't always applied, when it's applied yes it's already paid

When you buy higher value item you get no tax at the checkout , and if the package has the higher value declared customs are gonna charge you or you can ask them to declare it lower

Go on AliExpress checkout with something £50 or lower you'll see tax added , than checkout with something £150+ you'll get no tax added

Doogee S200 with its Infrared camera

 

[Varys]

Been looking at the Honor Magic 6 Lite as my Galaxy S20 Ultra is dying, if anyone knows what they are like.

They were £179 last week. Thought I might as well wait for Black Friday. They are now being advertised in the "Black Friday Week Sale" at £199 apparently reduced from £349

Have you got one?

 

[mrk]

Yes it's my video.

Damn. That's some insane tech on a phone.

 

[Grim5]

Damn. That's some insane tech on a phone.

Yeah stalkers will love it

 

[mrk]

Gonna try video a TR3B in the night sky as only IR cameras can see them going by videos online

 

[Varys]

Yes it's my video.

Sorry. Video didn't load yesterday. That looks cool AF

Doogee S200 with its Infrared camera

That's amazing, the fact it's a phone!

 

[Earth[Tera].bin]

You can find similar on most £20 security cameras .Can't comment if the rest of the phone is worth $190 , but at least you'll get the mobility, the IR range is of course limited.

 

[mrk]

The IR range actually seems as good as IR CCTV cameras and Ring doorbells etc. I can see the sky fully with it for example and clearer than any CCTV camera or doorbell at 4K.

Anybody have any experience with Trading Shenzhen?

I just went to purchase a OnePlus 13, they have 4 showing as in stock. I input my address, which is in England and then at the next step it says there are no couriers available for my country, so I can't get through the checkout

Mine might be up for sale 16/512GB complete with Blue Magnetic case, good as new and a lot cheaper than £750.

recently picked up another Zenfone 10 and it's a joy to use, a perfect size for one handed usage. If only the camera was a bit better.

16gb / 512gb is going for £684.16 . I'll wait till oxygen rom can be flashed before deciding to buy one , also slightly regretting not going for 11/11 AliExpress sale coupon making the 16/512 for £574

Also I want the black one

899 Euros on Trading Shenzen. ColorOS is actually really good, the usual bloat but once removed it's pretty featured packed. There's also the possibility/guarantee of 20% tax on top of the Aliexpress models , pushing it towards £700

Lovely phone either way.

£684.16 is from trading Shenzhen , yeah I know the risk with AliExpress but yet to get charged after requesting the seller what to note down

I also need android auto colorOS doesn't have it that's another reason why I'm waiting for oxygen and prefer oxygen not dealing with getting rid of the Chinese stuff

 

[jrwagh333]

Hmm TradingShenzen says you can use Klarna to pay but I can't find the option during checkout.
