Xioami Mi A2 Lite. Bought in Singapur for £140 but it's available in GearBest at £150 (I bought the previous one there and I was going to do the same, but a friend happened to be in Singapur and I asked her to bring it as it was quicker than waiting for it to arrive from China).

So to clarify... Exact model and where you bought it and price please?

The Xiaomi A2 & the Xiaomi A2 Lite are actually very different phones despite the misleading naming convention.

I got the A2 Lite 4/32GB version via Gearbest for £154(?) myself but they now sell directly from the UK.

Hello

Which is best value compact smartphone? All the ones out there look huge :-(

grumbler

"best value" is a too vague term.

And beware, the newest phones have a higher screen-to-body ratio.

It really depends what you need on a phone, I found this website quite useful:

For me dual sim and a decent battery life were essential, but you might want different things.

Has anyone experienced or would like to offer advice regards the Honor 7S please?

Xiaomi note 5 pro or note 6 pro both have almost same features and are very good phones.

Any member have serious opinions and/or experience of the NOKIA 3.1 PLUS please ?

... and can anyone confirm are there 3 "card" slots ?
I believe it has a Hybrid slot for use in dual SIM mode or to expand memory to 400GB ....

.. but is this in addition to a "normal" SDCARD slot as well as the 1st SIM slot?

Given it comes with 32gb I wondered if it achieved the 400 (ish) by adding 256GB in the "memory" slot and then a further 128GB in the Hybrid.

Specifications I've found seem rather vague over this but everything else looks quite reasonable for £150 (was £180)
6" HD+ display
2gHz octo processor
3GB RAM
2 day battery (3500mAh)

Cheers
