Ordered my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite from Gearbest yesterday, just got to be patient now

For anyone considering using Gearbest I ordered 22/08/18 and the phone arrived today 04/09/18 so not bad at all coming from Hong Kong. Mine is the 4GB/32GB version and is just updating everything.

Moto G5. Hands down. Its got a great display and a nice body. The processor is also decent for the price range. Go for it!

Frankly, wild horses wouldn't get me back to a moto. My experience has been so poor.

Just check out their wi-fi problems all over the web. My E4plus has wi-fi/bluetooth contention problems that are not confined to the E4plus but the whole range since Lenovo took over Moto (or so the web says)

I didn't think I'd notice any difference in speed as I'd never thought there was an issue with my Voda SU6 but it is way quicker, Very slick and smooth, just updating apps over WiFi goes much faster. The cameras much improved too, I like the bokeh effect when using the portrait mode especially.

Downside is that the signal on Plusnet seems a bit weaker and data speedtests are definitely slower although using apps outside is still faster. I've ordered sims on O2, Three & Virgin to check on whether it's generic or just related to the EE frequencies.

Thank you for the review, I am very much interested in your observation. You have got an Android One device, no (or less) bloatware Android OS, directly arranged with Google.

I would assume that your great user experiences is contributed by Android One device - a clean pure no bloatware Android experience.

I think you will get Android Pie 9) upgrade sometime. I look forward to your report in the future!

I become more interested in Android One device than before.
