Duo direct
Hi all, a company Duo direct in the UK are selling some top range phones significantly cheaper than the major UK retailers. The phones are designed for he Asian market , I have researched the differences and it's almost identical in specs, although it's dual SIM and therefore a Exynos processor instead of Snapdragon.
The bandwidths used in UK for 3 and 4g networks seem to be supported according to independent specs of this model, however I'd love some feedback from real customers.
Have I fooled myself, or is this an opportunity to get a great deal?
I have contacted the company, they assure me it works on all UK networks, will support future Android updates, security is on par with EU models.
Any input appreciated. Thanks

So, you can forget not only about the manufacturer's warranty, but about any legal protection for consumers as well.
Avana Group Ltd - Director Date of birth June 1936. Well, this looks suspicious, but our Queen was born in 1926.
Returns Policy - "we cannot accept returns or exchanges for items which have been opened or any seals broken" - this simply breaches the Consumer Rights Act, distance selling part of it.0 -
