My old first gen Nexus 7 has the dodgyist usb socket ever. So I'd like to replace it with a Nexus 7 (2013 model) because it has QI charging. Has anyone had any luck lately buying a new UK or EU model Nexus 7 32gb in the UK? Or does anyone know of any legit online shops selling them? And yes I know this is a long shot & yes I have used google.
BT shop. Looks like it's the last one.

In the last 3 months I've bought 3 from Cash Converters and 1 from Computer Exchange.
All of them have been around £100 and in practically mint condition. All four are going strong with no issues. If you want that piece of mind, buy from Computer Exchange as they give you a 1 year warranty. :angel:
I cant see any reason in buying this tablet for £238 new on the BT website. If it was 2013, £238 wouldn't be a bad deal. 2015 on the other hand, hell no.
I got mine from Asda in the black friday sales, they still have them in the two big Asda stores near me. The sale price was £140 but they usually sell them for £200

Not bad. How long is your warranty

Sadly it was only the 16gb model they had.
Pretty sure argos still have them, that's where I got mine from last year, I don't really recommend buying from there if your the kind of person who breaks stuff a lot tho, since you can't take it back unless it's faulty
Hi,
I was wondering you anyone has order from Any sellers from Aliexpress, thinking primarily of Top-One, Goldway to europe. I know some sellers have relay services to get it toll free into EU (although it's a moot point for me since I live in Norway).
What are your experiences especially shipping with DHL? Did it go painlessly?
How are your experiences with DHL and customs?
Do chinese sellers declare low value? If so, does it get stopped in customs?
Should I explicitly ask to declare normal value in order to not have customs problems?

Hi,
I live in Germany and received my Mi Max today. It was sealed and everything went fine.
I ordered exactly one week ago from Top-One via DHL.
I have no idea how the handle / pay / go around customs but it works.
I can recommend this seller. :good:
I want recommended Top One as well fast delivery with DHL to UK.

Hello i live in germany too, i order always from top one.. Its a great seller and ships very fast. If you live in germany.. Smartphones and tablets are duty free.. I ordered mine today on xiaomi device website.. Mi max 128gb 4gb ram for 390 dollar.. Next week will it arrive.. I will make a video review and post it here.. The reason why I didn't ordered it from ali express is that there is no 128gb 4gb ram bundle

Toll charges comes about a week later in a letter from DHL.
DHL always charge you for the tax. Their policy prohibits the sellers from under-marking the item value and they calculate it in advance rather than waiting for the UK, Germany, France etc to review the shipment and apply any charges.
The seller could technically get around it by creating a second invoice with a lower value and using that for the customs paperwork but then can complicate matters when it comes to returns and other things.

Ordering from TopOne has no problems with VAT or anything else. They send the phone from HK to UK, and sign for it. Then they package it and send it to an address inside EU. Confirmed with 3 phones so far.

Yeah unfortunately their prices are a little expensive for my taste though. Including shipping the phone costs around $30-40 more from them than it does from any other seller.

My mi Max was $303 for 64gb version so I think this was a good price considering every other store was around 340-370 when I was getting it and shipping around 50.
Shipping on TopOne was 26 every time.
So all in all it was a good deal.

No problems. 220€ + 24€ for dhl shipping, fast and smooth from Aliexpress to Finland.

I ordered my Mi Max from xiaomidevice on a Monday and got it the following Monday using DHL..came a day earlier as Tuesday was suppose to be the delivery date..glad I was home to pick it up
My buddys family goes back and forth to China and they picked me up a 128GB Helium for $313 USD.
I ordered from Carry-it electronics with DHL. Major error!
They didnt declare anything so i had to pay 46 euros to dutch customs first to even get my phone.
Afther 7 weeks now the phone went completely black.... Dead. It still was stock..... On directions of Carry it i took it to local phone store...15 euros to check it. Mainboard defect! Not repairable by them. Carry it doesnt believe me so they avoid any responsibility. I should sent it back and make more costs... No way. First make more costs to customs because of their error.... Then 15 euros to check the phone... And then ship it anyway......
Folks.... Don't do business with Carri-it
I ordered from my Mi Max from Top One, price I think was 272 dollars total, to Czech Republic. 64GB version. Very smooth transaction, received it one week later via DHL, no customs, no hassle, they even put Google Play on it. Would gladly deal with them again.
Issue right now is that out of the box I know they don't support all the LTE bands in Europe and I am trying to find if someone has a patch that will unlock them. I am getting about 12Mb/sec, which while not as bad as my first test which as a horrible 1MB, still far from what LTE can be. Outside of that, what a great phone, easy on the eyes, fast, and great battery.
Phone came with 7.32 or something MIUI. Unless the MIUI that is out there includes more LTE bands, I am not going to chance updating right now, just my preference.
Officially MI max 128gb GB is not available.. Can anyone recommend be a website in Hong Kong where I can buy MI max 128gb? Plus some accessories
Hello, I want to change my actual smartphone and I'm really interested in buying the Oneplus 3 but I have some little questions. For now I'm in Italy, why the price is 399 euro here https://oneplus.net/it/3 and on ebay is more than 420 euro ? Is good to get it from that site ( https://oneplus.net/it/3 ) ? How I will pay for it and how long it take to get it ? Is good to get it or should i search other smartphones ?
Its better if you buy through an official channel. I'd say wait till 14th when Oneplus announces the new device with snapdragon 821. If its indeed a phone better go for that. In this price range, Oneplus is definitely the best phone and it has one of the best developers community.
Because the sellers on ebay want to make money of you back the only legit place to buy is oneplus.net.
Payment is via PayPal, you can see expected delivery just before you place the order.
Is it the best phone? For me it is, especially in this price range. A new phone by OnePlus is expected next week. You can order and cancel if you like the new one better.

Is the Oneplus.net their official site ? I mean, I can pay and not get the phone ? And if I order the phone, how much does it take to get delivered? Btw, I'm going to wait first to see the price of Oneplus 3t.
Yep, only delivery. I think they have some shops in India
you should probably wait for the oneplus 3T
O2 shop sells them in the UK? Maybe there is a local retailer in italy that sells them.
It was quicker for me to buy from O2 as its in stock rather than wait 5 weeks for Oneplus to get stock out!
It is safe to buy from oneplus.net site - I purchased my from there and everything's OK. They have excellent service too - my screen was malfunctioning and they arranged repair here in Germany. Apart from OnePlus you can check Xiaomi Max too - it seems is less expensive and with better hardware (and the screen is 6.44"). However OnePlus 3 is very good phone so You'll be excited how fast and stable is with CM13 based ROM
I am Italian too and I can guarantee that if you buy on their official site you won't have any problems
I've bought the phone for me and my partner and there isn't a better phone!
Also, if you love modding this phone is perfect for you! :good:
In particular, anywhere in London? Three stores do not have that in stock in any store (I've called most of them). Is it possible there isn't an actual shop where you can purchase it from?
And what would be the right price to pay? On Amazon UK you can buy it at /Lenovo-P2-Smartphone-Battery-Dual-SIM/dp/B01MFBOXXT (can't post full url unfortunately) for £320, and that is the 32gb version apparently (by looking at the 1 star reviews).
Any advice please?
Thanks
Can't you just order it online from Three? I got mine for £200 from them.
Three sell the 32GB storage 4GB RAM version for £199 unlocked with a £10 pay as you go SIM.

Out of stock in the three online store, for the past week... Am I looking in the wrong direction?
It's also showing as out of stock online too:

Its been out of stock at all 3 stores for over a couple of months ive tried at lots of places to buy a second one for a friend. the 3gb variant they are selling on amazon and ebay are a different model version and they are ripping people off selling it for £300 or even more.. And today at a 3 shop locally the manager told me they have now discontinued the p2.
Hard to find now. The price was too good at £200. It's been out of stock for ages. I ended buying up buying it on ebay. Got the 64 GB (p2c72) variant for £270.

Ok, so I need a Phone before the 15th since I'm going to holiday. Looks like this phone is literally a ghost. My main requisite is a non-ridiculous battery life. I can see that the Moto Z Play could be a candidate then? And if that the case, again, where can I find it in London? Any suggestions please?

Three have stopped selling the Lenovo P2 and have no plans to restock now that the Honor 9 has been released.
.......
Confirmed that Three have discontinued it: https://twitter.com/ThreeUKSupport/status/884442227703001088
Mine died recently and looking to replace, you can buy it from Amazon Germany, France and Italy - but it's around £270 for a p2a42. At £200 it was a no brainer, but thinking now I may wait for snapdragon 630/660 phones.
Three back in stock today.

Great, I waited 3 weeks for it to be back in stock and then Three support told me it was discontinued, so I ordered one with a broken screen (the guy dropped it straight after opening it, everything is still in the box) off ebay with a case for £109 and ordered a new screen from china for £88 with the tools to install it. And now they get it back in stock. ****ing grade-A support from Three.

Damn, that sucks. Maybe you can take it as a learning opportunity on how to fix/replace the screen. If it goes well, you could even sell it for a slightly lower price as used. Then buy a new one (to get the warranty).
when you choose tariff plan it says out of stock ...
The weird thing is that I have been checking the three site for stock over the last week and on Friday night it accepted an order for the P2 on PYG.
Just got to see if it turns up now...
I have spoken to three on the phone (~ 1 week ago) and they said they aren't expecting any more stock. They told my insurance company the same. Don't know if that is just the operator telling me that though.
You can get a p2a42 from amazon Germany for £270 though, which is what I did.
It looks like they are expecting the mi mix 2 to be available in India Jan 24th 2018. My question is I believe these devices will ship with global preinstalled from the factory? If so I'm also assuming those of us that are lazy could wait and buy a version of the phone that has global preinstalled? It's been about 8 years since I last rooted and am not sure I want to mess with it again. Is what I stated accurate? Thanks

Hello,
Actually I think that it will be on sale in India starting tomorrow ! See http://www.mi.com/in/mix2/
Speaking of which, I am from Belgium and in 3 weeks I will be visiting Hyderabad for work for 15 days, and there seems to be a "Xiaomi Home" store 10 kilometers from my hotel ! Definitely I will have a visit.
Do you know if this is where we can have the best prices for any Xiaomi Phone ? Are they in general lower than on Gearbest or other online platforms ?

It is on sale, I've got one. That being said, make sure you check for the availablity of it in the Mi Homes as I think it might not be available there. If it is available there, it might cost Rs. 38,000 instead of Rs. 36,000 (this is just what I've heard about the Mi home pricing, I may be wrong on this).
On gearbest, this costs around Rs. 36,700 in sale without including shipping charges. So it is slightly cheaper to buy from India, though the bigger advantage IMO is that you're buying a sealed unit from the official seller, so you can be assured of a problem free experience.
