A local left wing phone shop, lefties get a discount, righties get their Twitter app deleted.

Directly from the manufactures website, either Samsung or Apple.

I bought my OnePlus Nord from John Lewis and the wife bought her Samsung A71 direct from Samsung

I bought my current phone from AliExpress,it was cheaper than buying direct from Xiaomi

Always import

Depends. Last one was off a seller on the auction site. I usually take a peek on hotUKd to see what's available when read up on it on GSMArena before deciding. Realme 6 was the result.

I'm looking to buy a new phone. But apart from buying it on the network site, Three, where else do people buy phones from?

I only know of the Carphone Warehouse and Amazon.

What other sites do you guys buy phones from?

Got my last one from eGlobal, based in Hong Kong. Bought loads of camera stuff off them over the years never a problem, often gets here 4-5 days. Exchange rate has made them less cheap than of old though.

I tend to buy direct from the manufacturer or Amazon.

Pointless buying from mobiles.co.uk or carphone warehouse these days as they only offer vodafone and some other company I've never heard of.

I bought my current phone , Samsung galaxy A01 Core , whatever the hell that means, from a local mobile phone shop, not one of the main players. But I've learned my lesson from other phones , Cex or second hand are not worth it, saving money is one thing but getting a replacement when it stops working is another.
I've just ordered a Huwaei phone from Wish.com online , anyone else bought phone, tablet etc from them and was it okay? Huwaei in general good?
