so just bought this chinese phone on amazon for 79.99 called the leagoo elite 5 on a win, smashed my iphone and cba with iphone anymore as battery life is shocking and barely gets me through a full day. this leagoo phone i've purchased has a 4000mah battery and really good reviews on amazon so thought why not. specs r not half bad too. what u think?

ive not but i always see loads of fake iphones on ebay from china x
probs sending all your data back to china
No, I don't trust it
Hope the battery is safe
Probably fine, there's lit no reason to pay £800 for an iPhone other than brand loyalty which gains the consumer nothing. If you can deal with not being respected by the vegan gluten-free kids wearing beanies then you're gonna be fine with a phone that does all the same things for a fraction of the price

It doesn't matter if it's Chinese or not really. It's more the fact of the build quality and what they install on the phone. I haven't looked at the device he has linked but there is a good chance it'll be fine.
Sometimes you just can't go the cheapest way - Especially with stuff like chargers. There is a well known fact that those cheap made USB chargers will most likely set on fire compared to ones that a bit more expensive and have a respected brand behind them.
The above can also happen to respected brands as it did with Samsung. But at least you know who you are dealing with.
Anyway, enjoy your phone and I'm sure you have done your research but always look at reviews, look at videos and see what others are saying. Then you'll have a rough idea on what you are getting.
My very first phone was a chinese made one.
I never really formed a view on it as the first day of owning it i dropped it down the toilet and it broke lol
I own an ASUS ZenFone Max
It is the best phone I've ever bought. The battery life is amazing it can last 3 days with everything turned on.
Its also dual sim.
The only problem is the GPS is really bad but I don't use it so it doesn't bother me.

I havent no. Does it work okay? Would you recommend buying?
Yes, my current phone is called OnePlus 3 from a Chinese manufacturer called OnePlus. Very highly rated company and a fantastic phone.

Couple of quick questions as my sister asked about a cheap smartphone and well I'm stuck on ideas so:Quote:

2. Can you install your regular apps without problems like Snapchat and things like that. I'm asking this as some of the cheaper cheaper Android phones have problems installing decent apps and aren't compatible.
Oh and can you see if Pokemon Go can be installed on it? LOL

Huawei phones are actually pretty good. I don't have one but my friend uses one. She said she's never had any problems and I've tested it myself too.
I have the p9 lite and it's lit faultless :)Quote:
