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.

Thanks, yes, I've had it in my basket for a few days now, but think I might wait a little longer to see how developement goes.
I thought it was supplied by others on Amazon, but I did see direct from Amazon too.
Thanks.
£339 from three which is also unlocked.

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
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I found only three mobile selling it for me and like mentioned i phoned up three and told them i had no need for a sim card and just wanted the phone to which the lady was more then helpful, mine arrives tomorrow as i ordered Sunday ...

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?

Likely just me, but won’t ever buy from these people again, so they are off the list. Poor excuse for a company.

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.

Skip the Extended Warranty and Save the Money Instead

Hey everyone.
So I was out looking for phones and I found a guy in delhi selling refurbished phones. They have a website, three branches as per say.
So I got myself a deal for one plus 6 in around 18k.
6gb,128gb version.
I am currently on Rei Note 5 Pro and thinking of making the change.
All I need is a little reponse if I should go ahead ?
I have paid 500 as booking fees, site seems legit. The guy seems legit so far.
He will give me the tracking Id tomorrow and the rest amount is COD.
What do you guys think of it ?
The device comes with 1 year warranty and 1 week replacement/ return.
Feels sketchy , seeking a 34 k mobile for 18 k May be the screen or some other internals may have been replaced. Also what type of warranty is he providing seller or company warranty and in India we have had enough tube getting warranty service from known brands it is risky to trust seller warranties
Looks like scam to me
Why would anyone sell a phone for 18k when it can easily fetch 30-35k INR?
Remember, If something seems too go to be true. It is most likely a scam of some kind. Don't waste your hard earned money on something fishy as this!

Hey just to see my luck I too placed an order in the website you mentioned. It didn't even ask me for the deposit of 500. By default it takes COD. I'm very very sure it's a scam as it didn't even ask me for any verification or confirmation

I dunno man. It seems good by the name of it.
My product is already been shipped.
I totally bonged the guy, asking him several questions.
He said these are custom duty free refurbished handsets. Sometimes unboxed.
People return or replace them frequently it seems.
Anyways, he is assuring me, he said i can live video call him while unboxing. I mean that counts for something I guess.
I will make a video of unboxing though.
Well lets hope for the best then.

So after my repeated attempts to get an ID from the guy made me cancel the order.
The guy , Mithlesh Sharma, employee of the website company or so he told me.
He sent me an Adhaar Card of some person he said was his boss.
I mean he couldn't send his own but apparently all employees have the boss's adhaar card.
plus it was all sketchy from the start..and with all the frauds goin on..i backed out.
as soon as I told him I will not be receiving the parcel as he failed to present a proof. He blocked me and did not respond on call.
moreover if you check olx, now i see these fake ads more than actual ones.
i mean a guy has posted ads in chandigarh, lucknow and delhi at the same time. Cash on delivery..buff..
I mean what if the box had just glass or bricks or soap inside. I choose to believe nobody would;ve listened then.
17k is a good amount.
might as well but the pocof1..lol
So all three players that used to provide bootloader unlock codes are providing them again after having no availability for months.
FunkyHuawei (price: $124 ) https://funkyhuawei.club/bootloader
Ministry of Solutions (price: $45) https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-service-all-new-models-new-firmwares
Global Unlocking Solutions (price: $45-50) https://global-unlocking-solutions.miiduu.com/bootloader-unlock-codes-choose-model-below
Get them while you can, seems as though availability may drop off at any point.
Anyone had any luck with these yet?

I'm in the exact same boat. Also with a P20 Pro. Waiting to hear back now.
Any updates I get I'll post here.
Do these guys all work together to submit the requests or how does this work?
Seems like Ministry of Solutions is only accepting "family and friends" payment through paypal. This is a well known tactic for scammers as buyers are unable to reverse the transaction.
Anyone have any past experience with this person?
It seems that these places have some contacts who either work for/contract for or something similar for Huawei, at minimum have access to the algorithm that provides the codes.
The fact that they all seem to come online/available at the same time then go offline/unavailable at the same time indicates that either a previous or new contact is willing to provide codes for money for some period of time.
We can be pretty certain they haven't cracked the algorithm as otherwise why would they ever go offline and why do they all come available at the same time with uncertainty about how long it's available for. We can only assume the contact is willing to sell codes again but eventually gets cold feet or caught leading to uncertainty of how long they will be available for.

Perfect logic. Agreed.
Huawei really needs to pull their finger out.
Perhaps whilst companies are offering the codes it was make logical sense to now ask Huawei if or when they may provide them again? Seeing as there is obvious demand for them.
Or perhaps Huawei are fully aware and is doing this as a test to see if it's a viable demand from their users.
So they allow 1000 unlocks and then they time it, to see how quickly they get consumed. That way they can project if it's something they should return to.
Tbh though those numbers can tell a very different tale Vs reality, kind of like failure rates with software roll outs in companies / firms, they base roll backs based on failure percentages and those thresholds are rarely hit but the problems are obvious and usually widespread. I think it's going to be similar with Huawei and their bootloader policy.
Can't see them going back, hopefully I'm wrong, seem to remember HTC doing the same thing when they blocked the One X. Great phone flawed with bootloader unlocks, eventually they reversed their decision and it hit them hard.
The price from funkyhuawei is a joke. ? I ordered from global unlocking solutions
You don't get even that price when you trade-in your Huawei P20 pro after Huawei ****ed up by Trump, Trade in value is around £50, Lol

Some places around me (Ontario Canada) will still give you about 375$ if they are in mint condition. But that will change soon....unless things change. Although Google has stepped up and said that Huawei would cause a bigger security risk by using their own OS, so who knows. A man can hope lol .

Sure i copied it.
I have 2 Lenovo tablets one bought last month that don't require a code to unlock bootloader.
Not sure if Lenovo phones require code or not tho.
Also i have a Blackview phone, bought last year, that didn't require a code also.
So there are manufacturers that don't require code to unlock bootloader.
I always check this before i buy something.
That's why i am asking so i don't have to look into every phone every time i wanna buy something.

Ye i was thinking of buying because i figured prices would go down because of the ban, but not anymore.
Trump was right banning them after all.
But they sell on internet codes to unlock Huawei for around 50$. Just out of curiosity do you know how they get those codes or why they cost so much ?
Do you think I'll get better luck with Xiaomi ?

Definitely, codes on sale for 50$ are a scam (at least that's what I think).

Don't and do is a very expansive and at times subjective question.. seeing as the likes of Huawei / Honor tend to change their mind like the wind..
To put things into context, what is your preference? Id assume without a code right?
At this point in time there is one device I would recommend which had the essence of Android at its heart and that is OnePlus.
It doesn't have the best of everything but it has the best of what matters and they appear to care about what Android users want as they continue to provide us with things that make us tick..albeit now with a swollen price tag.
There are others but not in the same calibre or price /performance ball park.. I think the pixel series is along the same lines but pixels (camera aside) are ridiculously priced, even though their original party trick was to be cost effective devices for their price range.
Ones to avoid, anything niche, Huawei, and anything with an efuse chip with a company that will adhere to it's alteration ie: Samsung.
Just my opinion but hope this helps..
Perhaps there's a list, may take some doing to collaborate though and to maintain..
:good:
@dladz It would make more sense to me to throw 2000$ more in a gaming PC than 200$ more in a phone that will give you stats that i cannot imagine what use someone would have for them.
In that sense OnePlus is probably not for me.
As for efuse, first time i read about this, does it just voids the warranty or there's more to it ?

Sorry pal I've not seen this til now lol.
Efuse isn't just Samsung AFAIK, but they do use it.
Who's spending 2000$ btw?
The oneplus is less than most phones, certainly less than Huawei, plus it's faster, a LOT faster. And the camera has caught up too.
$499 for the base model, a device which will never slow down, ever.
PS: my pc overall was around £5,000 in total plus upgrades so I tend to aim high, reason being is it's hard to accept less when you've had the best.
Hi All,

its been a while but yes. It can be done with a mail forwarding service if you live outside of the delivery area. I did it with the P30 pro. Then found out that amazon.de or amazon.es would deliver the the US. Also clove.uk delivers to the US. I guess it just depends on your level of patience and where you live. IMO i would try to hold out for Amazon since they have the easiest return policy for me. I went through the green screen thing with the Mate 20 pro.
They are also available on jd.com
Still the 4G model

seems like a good deal. I'm however waiting for the 5G version. They are only listing the 4G version.

It was a pre order. They were launching in China on the 26th which was yesterday.. So they should be available to ship.

I'm going to wait for Amazon. Aliexpress wanted a picture of my license and picture of the card when i tried to buy 1 yesterday. Needless to say the purchase didn't go through.

Dodgy or what! I'm sure there are good sellers on aliexpress but it's a lottery.
I've just bought from liaow.com and got it gets here in under a week. I'll give my impression. I got the green pro. If not I told him any colour will do

I told them to keep that box sealed and unopened. If they dropped it accidentally you know they'd still send it to you lol
And I can install Google myself
almost pulled the trigger with that website listed. The guy Mike has good feedback on another forum. Then i saw this. International release may be cheaper than what was announced.

I'm going to TRY and hold off for a little bit to see how things go but I like that unopened and sealed approach.

I couldn't be patient. Price won't drop much, look at the mate 20x 5, old phone, just cause it is 5g so what, expensive as hell.
With all their Google woes they're still coming out with high price phones. Ridiculous

I'm on att and as far as I know only developers and business class get access to 5g so there's no point in that aspect for me. Maybe once there's something worthy of upgrading to after this one
