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

Really liking my new Nubia M2 so far. Great screen, great battery life, smart looks. Can't comment too much on the UI as I always immediately install Nova.

Only little niggle so far is that only the pre-installed official backgrounds can be used on the lockscreen, unless I'm missing something.

Great alternative to Xiaomi I reckon and only £109.

I really can't decide which phone to get next. My Nubia M2 has been great but I've cracked the screen, the call speaker volume is failing and I'd like something a little more up to date.

Pocophone at £230?
Mi Mix 2 at £215?
Honor View 10/Play at £240?
Redmi Note 6 Pro at £170?

Lots of good choices but all with their pros and cons and no standout ultra bargains.
 
I've gone for the Mix 2. Just looks lovely, hope the battery isn't too bad. If I don't like it I can probably sell it on and get most of my money back, was only £212.

Almost went for a Max 3 at £190 but not sure if it's just too big.

Got my Poco F1 128Gb today, Says Global international version but came with a sticker with 2 pins on the box and an adaptor(2 pin to 3 pin UK) :(
Did anyone else get a 3 pin charger in the box?

I'm not 100% up to speed on the Poco but I'd be amazed if they came with a 3 pin in the box. Every Chinese phone I've ever had (all international versions) have been 2 pin with a separate adapter.
 
Just pulled the trigger on a Mi 9t 128gb in red for £232. Looking forward to having a play with the camera. Very nearly went with the 9 Lite for £188 instead but, if I'm honest, just though the 9t looked cooler.

My current Honor 8x has been fine but it needs to go in for repair to the charger port soon so figured I'd just sell it when it comes back.

Rumours that there is a Note 8T coming with a Snapdragon rather than Mediatek. Not sure I can wait that long and tempted to pay the difference and just go the Mi 9T as my Mi 5 is struggling to make ends meet these days.

@King4aDay where from? Closest I can find on eglobal is £250.

Was an ebay seller in Switzerland for £258 less 10% with the ebay code which has now expired.

I managed to get an F3 at £209 and have text to ay it will be delivered today so looking forward to that. I now wish I bought another for wife who has old phone but price looks back to £350.

Can you suggest another low cost phone for her - no games, just some social media like facebook and some photos.

Under 200 if possible

cheers

Poco F3 will be on offer again tomorrow apparently

Or the M4 Pro might be sufficient if she doesn't need 5g?

Also still on my Poco F3. Think I paid £185 for it a couple of years ago and haven't seen anything that looks like a better deal since really. Battery just starting to weaken a little bit I feel but might just get a cheap Pixel 7/a contract next time there's a good deal.
