Customs duty may be charged on top of the headline price, usually on items costing more than £135 Information
The size and build of a normal Feature Phone but with Full Android / Google play capability with touch screen etc.
Has really good and interesting reviews from what I have seen and the smaller form factor (and less weight) is a plus point to me.

I have been lookiing at this phone for a while as I am sick of these big chunky heavy phones that most are these days (still clinging on to my Pixel 5).

Free delivery, but I guess you may have to pay import taxes etc

    I’ve been using the newer F22 pro for a year - to everyone asking why - it satisfies a large community of people who are part of a ‘dumb phone’ movement. Essentially it helps decrease phone usage without being handicapped in the real world (banking apps, WhatsApp etc). I keep the apps super basic and focused only on necessities and it’s been great for me as the form factor and screen does not induce usage lol. Helps me stay off here too

    What android version is the F22 Pro on and does it get regular security updates ?

    That does look a good phone too, a bit bigger, but still reasonable. More expensive too but performance is better for sure. (edited)

    I don't see why choose this over the Samsung budget phones on deal right now

    For me it's about the much smaller size and weight. Android phones have become ridiculously big and heavy now. (edited)

    Why this over a Nokia for example?

    Because it is a full android phone, in a feature phone form. (edited)

    Not if you want it for a cheap backup on holiday abroad.

    They should make a Clam shell version of one of these phones.

    Oh, just to note that it is typically called a Qin phone, but I have also seen it called a Xiaomi.

    Also, in eBay it typically is about £140 new.

    Maybe make sure you buy the version that has Google service

    Does this phone run UK banking apps well?

    Probably but you'll need to use the 'face login' to access your account as this handset doesnt have a biometric reader afaik.

    It seems it restricts you to a small app market, can't install apks by yourself; unless you're willing to tinker with the restrictive software.

    Nah, there's a Google Play option, seems you can use it as a usual android phone

    Delivery from China £14.69p has increased in the last yr substantially.

    That was added by the mod, it says Free Delivery to me, but that you might have to pay import taxes, which I guess is why the mod has added this. (edited)

    I see nothing wrong with clinging onto your Pixel 5. I "upgraded" to it.

    Looks like a cheap Nokia feature phone.
