Hello,
Well I don't know much about phones and these things but I'm thinking on buying a new cell phone (no contract).
I've seen two models which I thing that are good: Huawei ascend g300 (which is about 206$) and ZTE v906 (which is about 200$)
My budget is 200-240$ I would like to get the best phone I can with this budget (without contract). So hich phone would you reccommend me one of the ones I said above or another one?
Thank you ^^
as for your budget I would suggest latest Iphone!
Sir, there is a thread for this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
Thank You and Thread Closed
I am now going to buy one of these phones.
I want the galaxy for the water resistance but the xiaomi for the performence.
what do you think I should buy?
Quality of xiaomi is very bad， and if you dont explode of galaxy, then buy it. But I recommend you buy a rugged smartphone such as NOMU

BTW，I bought xiaomi in 2013，it left me a very bad impression， so I didn't bought xiaomi since that，so I don't know how the quality of xiaomi now， but I wont buy xiaomi smartphone anymore. But other products are pretty nice
Hi guys,
I'm finally in the process of changing to OP6 and am currently looking at options to obtain the device in Europe. I'd appreciate any input on where best (cheapest) to buy the device, especially looking at the 128 gb versions (color not that important). I'd prefer to keep the European warranty, but if Chinese import is the very best option then that's fine too.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Yes I've been checking a broad variety of direct and indirect resellers, I was merely posting here in hopes of someone on here recently having luck in purchasing a particularly cheap OP6 who could point me in the right direction. As such, I value every input - so thank you

My pleasure ...
I bought mine from belsimpel.nl
Cheep you can buy from sites from China. Price is in Us dollars, but you may or may not pay vat and taxes in youre country.
For example in the days of op5T i found in a shop in China OP5T with 364 us dollars. On OnePlus site 499 euro. HUGE difference.
On OnePlus site is 669 us dollars (8gb/128gb variant) but the VAT and custom taxes are payd by OnePlus.
I both mine from a dude that was visiting his family and works in UK. I paid about 435 euro. i both it in the at the beginning of june. So the phone was really new. Full box.
Really looking to get a new phone pronto!!! The ones I am considering are:
mi max 2
mi A2
oldriver S10MAX
maze alpha x
ZenFone 5
Vivo V9 4GB 64GB 6.3"
UMIDIGI Z2 Special Edition 6.2" x
Lenovo Z5 Smartphone
The old river s10max really sticks out to me but I really can't find much on it. I would love to hear any and all feedback from everyone about any and all the phones. XDA is my goto for anything android! By the way I use pre-paid ATT and I live in St. Louis Missouri. Thanks in advance!
Outside of the Asus, I'm not sure I would want to risk going with any other ones there. Support, OS updates and general quality are my main concerns with those. Hell, even BLU is better I think. If you want low budget devices, BLU, located in Miami, has these white label devices that run fine. Great prices on Amazon, fast shipping and good return policy. Either that, or Sams Club/Costco. There's usually 2 unlocked devices there are an affordable price. Usually Samsung branded. Much better support and return policy.
My 2 cents.

by default, today xiaomi's miui is so full of ads and bloatware!
just sharing my experience
Launch day today - has anyone found the pre order link for UK / Europe?
Their customer service opens shortly so I'll enquire there too and post here if/when I find it...
Edit: can anyone find any other EU pre order links?
https://m.alza.co.uk/asus-zenfone-7-pro-black-d6122969.htm?o=1
They have the white one available too
These aren't a UK based company though so may hold off and await one
So I emailed asus about this:
"Hi there,
It has been stated that the zenfone 7 pro is due to launch in Europe today (01/09/2020).
Could you tell me where I can find a link to buy the phone in the UK?"
I got this in response:
"Dear {redacted},
Thank you for contacting ASUS Support and for your interest in our products.
Unfortunately, ASUS and ROG mobile handsets are currently no longer on sale in the UK.
For any further enquiry, please contact the UK PR team at: [email protected]
If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. "
So I'm not sure what is going on...

Thanks for that.
I reckon I may order it from the Alza website, exciting times!
Just perhaps holding off just in case a better price/sooner available option becomes available... Though can't seem to find any at all!
I'm interested in this phone too and only link I have found is the Alza one. I'm tempted by it but currently on a OnePlus, I'm not sure how big the development community will be in comparison. I'd also like to see if anyone comes up with a decent GCam port first.
Keep us updated on whether you decide to order from Alza and your experience with that site.
will it come out from Wondamobile?

I'm in communications with Arnova8G2, a developer of Gcam and they said "I have the zenfone 6 and it is very good with gcam, zenfone 7 pro already works with gcam 7.3 and more" - so based of this response I'm definitely gonna pre order the Zenfone 7 Pro! I think gcam on it will make it the perfect phone!
As for development, I've reached out on zenfone 6 thread and HavocOS. Which is inspiring that there's some good roms available for that device at least. Though worst case scenario, I'd be happy with rooted stock and gravitybox - which is my current setup for Xperia 1 ii.
Alza says "expected 14th September" but that would also mean shipping from Prague to UK for me. Could be earlier therefore, or later. I'll be preordering soon I reckon.

Hmm unsure. So far I've only seen Alza sell it, nowhere else!
I've ended up just buying a mint condition oneplus 7t pro on ebay for around the same price of this phone. It does what I want and was easy to find.

To be fair, that's a very good shout.
I had the oneplus 7 Pro prior to my current xperia 1 ii. It was a great phone, active rom development, loved the pop up camera and the gcam port made it a pleasure to take snaps with. My only slight gripe with it was the curved screen, I just wasn't a fan of it, but all in all a great phone.
As much as I love the Xperia there's just something not quite right for me about it. I know it's camera possibilities is one of its main features, but I miss the gcam and apparently (after speaking with the dev) hard to get working.
I love the flip camera on the Zenfone and do miss a 90hz display, plus with a likely more active rom community I'm gonna sell this and basically switch at no/little cost.
Hey guys, I'm presuming Alza only ships to the UK?

Ahhh cheers. Does VAT apply to all countries it ships to? Sorry I'm from Australia and don't know how it works over there. I'm thinking of having it shipped to a friend in either UK or Germany and have them ship it to me.

Hmm I presume so, it certainly showed in my pre order invoice.
Perhaps best check with them to confirm.
Good luck!

Any reason why you went with this site over Alza?
It's my girlfriend's birthday next weekend and she wanted a new iPhone. Now I've ordered here that (albeit a bad time as iPhone 12 will be out soon) I feel like I need to upgrade my 3 year old handset! ?
Think I'm settled on getting the ZenFone now, it ticks all the boxes for me.
Also, as no official UK release, I presume it will be shipped with EU charger?

I wished to use PayPal on this occasion and they accepted it.
They mention that they'll include an UK adapter, hopefully they actually will but no biggy if not!
