htc store in nanjing or shanghai

hi all! a friend of me is on the way to nanjing and shanghai and want to buy a htc-phone. Does anybody have an idea where he can buy (probably cheaper ;-) a htc in nanjing or shanghai? On the htc page no store in china were displayed.
thanks! zear4fear

i mean no official htc store - just a store or smilar where he can buy a htc!
Does nobody have a clue? it's hard to search on the internet when you can not read chinese...

Hi,
As far as I know you can buy them from any high street mobile phone shops over there.

I used to live in Shanghai. China is a place where there are tons of cellphone resellers. Asia acually. I studied very far so our building is probably far from him. But there are tons of whole buildings just selling electronics so u cant miss just walk around. Shops just to sell cell phones. Yup no freaking plans needed . just bargain bargain bargain. and ask about warranty.

I know a good place that has a lot of phones in shanghai, the place call "sleepless city or ever-bright city" which you need to say it in chinese, because I don't know it's english name, it is near shanghai train station. that is six floors high and all saleing phones and very very cheap.

hey all, thanks for the replies!!! very helpful.
@keywong: do you know a street or the name of this building??
zear4fear

lol this is the place im talking about too! i was just walking. it's very visible. this place has more than phones! haha omg i bought a whole speaker system here for 100 kuai haha. i think i even got ripped and locals can get it cheaper.

Hey guy.Have you ever been there before?If not,welcome to Nanking,it's not as bad as you imagine.I don't wanna talk about the history and the politics.I just want you know that China was the victim,not the mob.
Ok,let's talk about the phone.I just find the shops in Shanghai on the website of the DOPOD.There are more than 30 shops.See follows:

OEM Battery for S4 in Washington DC?

Hello!
As Sammy accessories are very expensive in my country (80$ for battery) I am thinking to get an original battery from Washington DC as I stay there for a week.
What should be the price of the original battery 2600mah?
Where can I find it?

There are plenty of T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint stores in the area - just use the locator on their Web sites. There are Best Buys and Radio Shack stores as well. As always, give them a call to ensure they have the battery in stock before heading out.
A convenient alternative is ordering from Amazon and have it shipped to wherever you stay. If you have a relative who is an Amazon Prime member, he/she can add you for free and you get free Prime shipping.

Any info on the price?
I am afraid to get a fake battery on Amazon

Hi! Welcome to DC! Actually, I've got my back-up Samsung (proprietary) battery from Amazon and even my ZeroLemon's. They're both authentic AFAIK though YMMV... But i guess you may just have to look around to check the seller's feedbacks/ review at amazon.
But like Lost said those are pretty much the stores you can snag one during your stay here! And second on that about giving 'em a call first before going to their store just to make sure they've got 'em in-store.

Ask the hotel front desk if they will accept packages for you. Then just find the best deal online and have it delivered to the hotel while you're staying there?

I'm in the DC area, and I actually have a spare battery from having my phone replaced last week. It's only about a month or so old, and was working perfectly for me (the exchange was the result of a defect with the phone itself). I have no need for it, and I'll send it wherever you want. Let me know!
Edit: Oh god, this is my first actual post. I've been lurking for years...

Best place to buy in the UK?

Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?
Had a nightmare with oneplus and wont' buy chinese again until they have some local presence.
The Honor 8 in blue looks great, so hence the question of where to buy.
vmall.eu looks like its not UK based...
Thanks

There's cheaper but i picked mine up from Amazon just for the peace of mind of their returns.

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)

I got mine from a three store in the uk. No other stores stock these.
Can't go wrong mines blue looks gorgeous

vmall.eu's shipping seems from Expansys?

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!

Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.

Got my partners from three today a d on the phone there is like a customer service portal, typed in the imei and she has a two year warranty

Thanks, I have read those and they don’t specify who the repairer is and what country they reside, so it isn’t clear if its shipped abroad to get cover or done in the UK and are subject to UK laws?

Thats an option but left three many years ago as they don’t know what customer service is and we have no coverage from them.

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Its SIM only and unlocked. Use what ever carrier you want and get the phone with generic firmware for £339

The phone from three is unlocked so you can put what ever sim in you want.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

Where To Buy?

So, anyone know where I can pick this beast up?

I tried to find a Vivo nex in a shop in Belgium, then expanded to Europe... but no luck. Then I saw Ali express mentioned some shops doing pre-order. I contacted a few - I'm always afraid of fake devices when buying from China - and one shop cached my trust. Si that's where I ordered my nex. It should be deliverd in about 30 days. I'm so excited about this device. I will report my experiences once I got it.

Wow ,it is the moment I found Vivo showing its AD(LOGO) on the World Cup 2018 field that I realized Vivo NEX might be for first time Chinese Android phone actually became a shining superstar in the world.
Finally Chinsese phone manufacturing companiers Vivo and Oppo got Snapdragon flagship chipsets. OMG!!!!

Yea, please let us all know how you like it when youve had time to play with it for awhile. I know I wont pick up one for a few months, maybe Christmas time. I am very eager to see what developers start doing for this phone tho, I hope it has a huge following.

I will test my new device for sure. Especially those things that bother me most: is that fingerprint on display efficient? What about apps that use fingerprint for confirmation or login (bank apps, safeincloud,...) Will those still work? Will the device 'feel' the difference between tapping the screen and adding your fingerprint? Will apps need to be updated for this device? What's about that screen vibration that replaces the speaker? And will it still play music without earpeaces? Then what about Google play; will I be able to install my favorite apps and will they run as they do on my other devices? In a way, it's all part of the excitement of expecting an new device...

I prerecorded mine here:
aliexpress.com/item/VIVO-NEX-Screen-Fingerprint-Cellphone-8GB-128GB-Snapdragon-845-Smartphone-Octa-Core-6-59-OLED-Full/32884745578.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.20b14c4dFanTlv

I'm still trying to decide which phone to buy this year, so many have come out or are due to come out. This phone looks interesting, I like the size of the screen, the battery capacity, the rear camera specs and the fact it's an international phone that includes LTE bands for North America. I hope to see some reviews once new owners receive their phones and have a chance to use them. Thanks in advance.
