and whatever you'd choose- always double check for (LTE) 4G coverage as UK networks have 800;1800;2100;2600 mhz frequencies, that differ to many IE China frequencies and coverage0 -

Cutting out on middleman save alot of pennies, you gain more hardware for you £££ and these days Phones are need to be looked as disposable consumables, they'll most certainly last couple of years, by then, you'll want double the spec one. that will cost you half or third of branded ones.
If too worried about locality of branding
Then you might want to choose one of those, eBuyer normally uses 12mnth warranty under their terms.

Dumped is bit harsh, as you chose, what one wants to buy.
"fast" 4G- myth!- in practical terms decent 3G (1800; 2100 mhz) provides more reliable and barely noticeable difference speed of connection to 4G, that is more relevant to which network your SIM is tied up.
Lets say using EE's 3G service I can watch film live streamed on a go, then on some shabbier network 4G- it will load, buffer, cut out and load again.
4G- is overrated for both speed and reliability as way better, than 3G0 -
