Are people really worried about their Echo's listening to their private conversations?

You can set it up from the website without installing the app, that's how I did mine.

Had one of these but sent it back it's so unreliable at it's most basic function of being an alarm clock. Its supposed to have a backup feature where if it loses internet connection it defaults to a normal alarm tone (if using internet radio for alarm) but it just doesn't work. Nice try but misses the mark

As a contrasting opinion I've got one and love it - whilst it's not voice activated it's always right by the bed so tapping it on the top to speak isn't an issue (I never use the app at all - that would be a right faff). We've got other Alexa devices (Echo, Echo Show and a Dot) but this works great for what we wanted it for - I'm not sure I'd want it as my only Alexa device as I use them for controlling lights, TV etc where I do want it to be voice activated without having to touch to talk, but as a bedside clock that I can use for the odd Alexa interaction then it's spot on. The manufactures are pretty decent too and have pushed a few updates with new features since I've owned it. Is it a good as a Spot for a bedroom clock? No, of course it's not but it's a fraction of the price at just over £30. I'll probably replace it with a Spot if I find a decent deal on one (mainly because I think it looks a bit cheap and plasticy, probably because it is!) but for the price I've been happy with it.

Looks a bit like an Aether cone speaker.

A memory card is hardly like a mechanical HDD, in theory there is no reason it shouldn't last for ever......it has no moving parts. As has been said before a used card would have no greater chance of failing than a new one it's all just dumb luck and obviously a degree of care taken with the card plays a role

My mum isn’t particularly tech savvy but still understands signing into Google or iCloud to organise the backup (it’s automatic, one-click stuff). My point is, your treasured moments can’t be that treasured if you’re relying on a single point of failure, whether that’s a £1000 phone or a cheap £40 one with an SD slot or just a writable disc. If they’re really not tech savvy, would they even understand what an SD card is And I would disagree, the kind of person buying from CeX is the opposite - probably slightly more clued up than someone who just goes to Amazon for every single item.

bare in mind, the sort of person buying a used sd card from cex, is the sort of person who is probably not going to be particularly tech savvy, and know about what you have mentioned. That doesn't make their "treasured meoments" any less precious.

That’s not how memory cards work. When they fail they become read-only (broadly speaking) and even a used card is not really more likely to succumb to that than a new one as the total writes are so low. And I don’t want to be a dick but if they are really treasured moments and you haven’t taken additional precautions (Google Photos is free for starters) then you’ve kind of sealed your own fate - as if the only copy was kept on the phone, theft or loss would be equally as dangerous

i think the biggest risk, is losing treasured moments, taking pictures on a card, that later turns out be corrupting your images because its worn out.

the poor person who job it is to apply the cream...................the kind of job I would do😁 for free

I told her to eat the yoghurt with a spoon, but no...... She wouldn't listen

This is more the reality...

Is it just cold for being politically incorrect? I know there is literally not much to it, but surely not one would begrudge £2.50 for that, even though sadly the bint does not come with it.

No one claiming it is Victoria Secrets let alone Ann Summers, it's simply a playful item not meant for high end entertaining and for £2 what do you expect real pearls?

Haha if this is your idea of adventurous then I feel sorry for your girlfriend! Trust me, nothing prudish about knowing the difference between sexy and tacky

Think that's 50 now and comments are two sides of the scale...1. from people who can't see the novelty value of this and 2. people who can? People all have different tastes and levels of fun and enjoyment some are prudish some up for adventure and try anything once....wonder which one you are? (popcorn)

An example of austerity

Photoshop.no way are those rubys real

Barclays don't support google pay anyway :)

Actually I've never used android pay and do not know :( And to throw another spanner in the works I just changed roms a little earlier today to a new Oreo AICP https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/rom-aicp-13-0-pro3-aka-zl1-x727-x720-t3698058 Which is working well as far as I can tell :D and my banking app works (Barclays) which is one of the reasons I changed from resurrection remix ;) I could not get Barclays app working no matter what I tried on the old one...

is android pay working on that rom?

Just a small update, I am a little bored of the stock android and the eui so I am currently using Resurrection Remix (Android N 7.1.2) And with a few tweaks here and there in the settings it's a totally different phone ;) Well worth the change of rom if you are thinking of doing it!

Official rom with Google apps but without working android pay cos of the eui

nothing wrong with chinese phones

My son has had two doogees and both proved to be good phones for the price. He smashed both screens. I couldn’t find anyone to refit screens for Chinese phones in the U.K., so wouldn’t buy another. I tried myself but failed on one of them.

THESE days it's not that hard to flash phones, you got to just choose good hardware and get rid of stock. I don't even keep stock ROM [bar warranty period] on branded phones as they come with tons of crap, or do not update after 2 years [BT hole, wifi hole]

It is exactly these kind of questionable channels that are also most likely to suffer from a "pre-infected" Android that sends all your data to China. Usually I would not consider that worth the risk.

Hmm 'lossless digital zoom'..not too sure about that.

Amazon do this case for £8 https://www.amazon.co.uk/EACHSHOT®-Underwater-Waterproof-Protective-Housing-Black/dp/B00YY9UKVW/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_421_bs_lp_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=96F0QP0FVBCYYZ2TXAR7 and sell the camera alone without remote and monopod for £59.99

Ive looked on DX For a waterproof case to go with this. Are they all compatible? Cheers

I had the same email about the delay so you should get yours any day now - mine came via Yodel. I was expecting it to be a lot longer after I got the email so was pleasently suprised.

Mine was turned back at customs and had to be resent via a different method, should be the reason for the delay. Hopefully will get it soon. Got the pi and image all set up, just need the case now.

Got mine this morning

Mine has arrived at my local depot today. Shouldn't be long now. Still haven't bought a Pi to put in it anyway

anybody received this yet?

BB, I look to you for my xioami advice :D what you reckon with the A1? ive ordered a RN4 for the Mrs, im tempted by this one. if you buy from AE, which seller do you recommend? is the MI Online store the genuine store or someone pretending to be them? its either that or the RN4 though the pure android experience plus very good reviews plus updates swaying to this one.

anyone know of a genuine reliable seller on Aliexpress whom I can get this phone from? ive ordered a redmi 4 for the mrs but im sold on this one. stock android, really good reviews.

I was too and decided to go for the A1, i traded the battery life for a andriodone phone, and dual cam.

Think the black versions took longer to come into stock.

Yes stock Android 7.1.2 with a few Xiaomi apps that can be uninstalled, it will be updated to Android 8.0 & 9.0.

Negative , no B20

Now sold out

no band 20 cold

tells me that gold and silver are oos.

I assume you'll get zero warranty with this?

It should get 3G on all. 4G is more a matter of conjecture - some will argue that it will work fine on all bar o2 (and o2 MVNO like Tesco & GiffGaff), but all the main 4 UK networks have band 20 (which this does not), the only band this is true of, so it will not get 4G everywhere that a phone with band 20 will on ANY network should be a safe conclusion. Since the networks don't publish band maps, it is impossible to know to what extent. Where there are options that appear better spec'd and cheaper with band 20 (Global version Xiaomi Note 4), this seems like the wrong bet! It may actually get 4G on o2 in some limited cities (they have begun to roll out 1800MHz 4G in major cities); mentioned as only fair to be balanced, but still the facts remain that this seems far from a good bet.

So is this only 2G compatible in the UK? I went to GSMArena and cycled through all the variants of this phone and it says no 3G or 4G for any UK networks (from what I can find)?

Thank you for this info, and yes i did have this and didn't know it was called ghosting, it only did it when i tried to look at phone when plugged in never any other time, sent it in for repair, appears to mended it now as not done again

Just sit back and laugh - not the cheapest price for the brand, which is not the cheapest or best item (even in the no warranty chinese phones category)! Gets 500 degrees! Morons & sheep effect in full flow!

Yes, it's a cunning plan on their part, isn't it? 'Money back guarantee', indeed. Hmph.

I wanted to send their non-removable ones back but…....

And not only vote, I imagine. (cheeky)

As a naturist, I have to vote cold.

Perhaps they haven't invented removable ones yet.

Yes. The 4/64 is 143.99 plus an extra 5.99 off if you register your email korfball use a new one 8) ) see Link

Was going to reply but seen your edit. Yes, that's the 4X model with MTK X20 SOC and 3GB RAM. I can't find the SD625, 4GB Ram versiont cheaper anywhere other than aliexpress.

The Redmi Note 4 is cheaper on eglobalcentral. It's £132.99 for the Redmi Note 4 64gb dual sim 4g LTE sim free. Edit. That's for the Chinese version not global version.

Does not tell about spyware baked into the phone. Negative

Like I stated earlier, my Wife's Redmi Note 4 with SD625 is almost as fast in everyday tasks as my SD820-equipped ZUK Z2. And she gets far far better battery life! Unless you are a serious gamer the SD625 SOC is all you need, basically.

It’s still around this price; I ordered one yesterday.

Has anyone ever ordered from volume rate?

Has anyone bought from this site? Are they legit?

What's the best cheap action cam with a LCD screen sick of arriving home and being disappointed with my holiday snaps ;(

It depends 1080p at 60fps 80-100 Min

finger print scanners u r ok keep em https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/josephsteinberg/2015/03/05/why-you-should-not-use-the-new-smartphone-fingerprint-readers/amp/#ampshare=https://www.forbes.com/sites/josephsteinberg/2015/03/05/why-you-should-not-use-the-new-smartphone-fingerprint-readers/

Says the man with a username in all capitals and the inability to process others' opinions...

I always assume small name Chinese phones will last 6 months before they start to give you a headache (I did get a year out of one tho), so 50 quid is about all you wanna spend really. I'd say this ticks all the boxes for the price, the deal is hot anyone who can't see that needs to get a grip on reality. If your looking for a better phone you've gotta spend more simple as that!

​hope you managed to find the fingerprint scanner

-46 it's not me my friend this is hotdeals uk not a open market where you shout and sell things

Nice lot of Switch accessories on there Cheers

i just received my phone, I really like it though can't work out to get message notifications. Can anyone help please?

Does anyone have any experience of buying from dx.com? A quick Google search and they seem to be getting mixed reviews. What about any import duties/taxes, are they likely to be applied when the phone reaches the UK? Thanks in advance!

had mine for a couple of weeks, love it. lighting fast and crisp clear screen. 4g definitely works in three.

Looks nice in hand, bought one on last deal but it's a bit too small unfortunately. Gonna ebay it, they go for over 150/160 so this is a bargain!

​O2 requires Band 20 for 4g

No I mean the phone when received is rooted and has adware installed - not that intrusive but still a pain to remove the adware. I think its a good phone afterwards. However if the phone fails or you break the screen, like i did, (its not that strong -no gorilla glass) you aren't going to get it fixed in UK or Europe. The assured shipping costs back to china are stupidly high so the warrentee is pretty well worthless... So its use, until if breaks, then bin. So is that "Great SAVING" actually worth it? imho not.

Do you mean that it will be difficult to root & replace the system on it?

Only problems Oukitel: Rooted + Adware, and they don't have any service centres in Europe. so if it breaks you ain't gonna get it fixed.

i guess its one of the hukd affiliate links...

Full HD for £72 is pretty damned good. "Micro SIM + Nano SIM / TF card" => no dedicated SD slot tho 8-(
