Most UK warranties only cover the phone's software and aren't worth the paper they are written on.


A couple of yrs ago I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 1, with my mobile contract.
Everything that could break broke and the battery almost caught fire as well.
Paid £480 for the phone and another £100 in repairs as the warranty only covered the software. 2wks before my contract ended the software would
no go beyond the Samsung logo.
Since my bad experience with Samsung and phone warranties, I am done with expensive branded phones, complete rip off.
At the moment there a so many grew phones being launched on Gearbest and Bangood.
I bought a really cheap chinese phone recently after I some great review from some credible Youtubers ( not those dodgy 1mio subscribers + with big corporate contracts), to see what all the hype is about.
I got a great phone for £40 the Oukitel C3 (I am not a gamer and don't download lots of apps) I use it for making calls, texting and surfing for which it is perfect.
Nowadays technology is advancing so fast that phones become out dated at an ever increasing speed.
The other thing I like about Oukitel is the build quality and that they send updates based on consumer feedback.
It looks grew as well!

Sorry I may be old but "grew" ...??

What I didn't like about my Oukitel..

The fact people couldn't hear a thing I said on the phone.

The nasty package hidden under the name "ouki_sales" that kept re-enabling the "install from unknown sources" option and required rooting of the phone to remove didn't exactly thrill me either...

After two weeks of using my P9 lite I would say that is a brilliant price for a super duper phone. ?are they offering with Huawei 3 years guarantee?
There are 4 phone/internet providers in Luxembourg and three out of the four now have Huawei phones alongside Apple and Samsung.
Perhaps a coming force in the market.

Are there many Huawei phone stockists in the U.K.?
