Buying in the UK

Hi all
I'm ready to bite the bullet and buy this watch.. What's the cheapest website it can be bought from in the UK? Preferably a site that someone has used and can recommend.
Thanks all
Chris

Got mine delivered today from mobilefun.co.uk the going rate is 199 and the delivery got muddled up with the click and collect service. Still i had that refunded, and they were apologetic so overall I'm happy. I have seen the same price starting to appear on other sites too.

Was looking at mobile fun.. What do you mean they got delivery muddled?

They thought the click to collect was a home address, therefore needed verification. This delayed the order process. Was all resolved in the end.

Got mine from mobilefun too. Seems fine. Go for it

got mine during the black friday sales on amazon.fr for £161.
unfortunately, after receiving it, I noticed it has a cluster of dead pixels, so I asked for a replacement, which is arriving today.

Hi,
I am looking at buying this from Amazon.fr even though it is on order with Expansys, which I can cancel.
Are there any difficulties in buying this watch from France? Will the packaging, adapters and system updates differ to that in the UK?
Thanks,
Jason

Sector adapter diffrent in France. 2 round pin.

I went to Handtec.co.uk used them before for phones, paid 4.99 next day DPD, they cost around £10 more than cheapest 199 deals but their service is top notch. Got mine a few days ago and all I can say is you will love it.
Always on mode, I don't see the burn in some mention in other threads...
I tend to use black background faces, with bright marks & hands.
Watch looks amazing,
strap is crap, ordered a replacement from Ebay, make sure if you get a new strap it's 22mm wide & 3.0mm - 3.5mm thick at the watch head.

Battery in always ON mode, 18 hours approx, normal use.

there are no difficulties with Amazon.fr. Have Prime myself and got the watch in about 3 days. The watch and accessories are the same except for the wall adapter, which is European (2 pin).
You can use any UK wall adapter however.

Just got mine from Mobile Fun - ordered Sun late night and got it this morning. Well impressed with the speed!
They're also on Quidco so you can get some cashback, and if you check Hot UK Deals, there's a voucher for free royal mail postage which while you can't actually use royal mail (have to pay for courier delivery due to the value), you at least get a couple of quid knocked off delivery

Do not buy from zukmobile.cc

I recently ordered a the Z1 from this site and it never actually got shipped. They don't reply to their contact us form which now doesn't work at all and I had to wrestle PayPal to re-open my ticket to get my money back. Order from somewhere reputable, I have been talking to a user on XDA who's friend sells imported chinese phones.
Link to the user's friend Turned out to be most expensive due to English to Polish translation error.
These are for one, cheaperr. Two are reputable and three, no turnaround waiting for overseas shipping outside Europe.
I bought mine from AliExpress in the end.

Yeah, I noticed as I was about to place my order it's 1,614 but because it's a Polish site Google Translate breaks the formatting and I thought it said 1 641 as in 1 x 641 Zloty.

Came this morning! I was jumping up and down infront of the DHL man! It's a great device and it's bloody quick having a few issues with Windows and ADB but I am working them out. Delivery was a tad slow but the seller was shipping it to someone in the UK first which explains why. BUY IT!

I love it, latest CM build is a bit buggy but nothing that makes it not usable. You'll see how good it is when yours comes. Best budget phone definitely.

Awesome. Got a case and tempered glass screen protector ready
What are the bugs btw?

Latest build makes double tap to wake intermittent and sound through speaker has issues but they'll be patched very soon.
*EDIT* People are reporting sound issues but after some tests I haven't found anything wrong.

may I add gearbest to the offenders of sales? I have ordered the zuk z1 with a promotional code from android headlines, paid through paypal. First they said that I'm in rural part of Australia (I live in the second biggest city in WA) and I have to pay extra if I wanted to use DHL. Ok , I paid , a day after they came back and said (I quote): "I'm so sorry that item Lenovo ZUK Z1 International Edition Android 5.1 5.5 inch 4G Phablet is stop production." And they asked me to choose something else..... Needless to say they are still selling the Zuk but I think they just do not want to give me the discount? Anyway, it seems to me that they are willing to pay my money back but I lost trust in that shop big time.....

availability - when and where

so far i've seen it being sold in a fishy uk online store, which i'd rather not buy from, and romanian and polish stores, which i don't have access to.
chinese online stores shipment takes ages so i'd rather skip those too.
how is it possible to be notified about it becoming available (actually in stock) in new stores in the uk and in around europe? is it predicted to happen soon or it might take a while?

I suggest that you wait for amazon.it , amazon.es. If you have friends in France they can buy it in eLeclerc on 27.8.

I bought mine on gearbest yesterday. Shipping isn't bad for me in the US, I paid 5 extra dollars for 7-10 day shipping. And I got a free $40 mi band 3 which is a good deal.

Is that more trustworthy than Gearbest? They still haven't shipped mine :crying:
It's supposed to be restocked on the 31st, 1-2 days to start shipping, and then 7-10 days to actually ship. It's a pain.

thanks all

Yeah I live chatted gear best, they actually get their stock on the 31st. And it'll take 1-2 days to process, and then 7-10 days to ship. They offered me a refund or an exchange instead but I said I'd just wait. So it'll probably be another week until I get it. But as soon as I do I'll post.

USA. So far, it's pretty good, but basically a Mi A1 with a better camera and 18:9 screen.

I have it since yesterday. Love it, I get a nexus feeling with stock android an such good overall speed.

i ordered one waiting for shipment , I read many negative reviews so kinda ruined my excitement for it =( How is the battery. I ordered the 6gb version, do you thinks it's worth over the 4GB?

purchase asus rog 2 phone

where can i purchase online the phone china version no problem.

Yeah, couldn't find it on aliexpress.

Giztop.com has it listed

You will need to wait 3 weeks or 1 month or even more. The stock is limited they are currently locally selling the phones in batches every 4-7days and every time it's sold out.

Is Giztop even legit? I feel the list thing as in stock but ship it 1 month later. Also it's at an inflated cost right now being $100 more, I would wait a month

I've bought a phone from them before and purchased this from them. I'll see when it ships and arrives.

It looks like Alibaba is selling them. https://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?fsb=y&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=&SearchText=asus+rog+phone+2

Hi,
I received it at my door 4 days after them getting the first stock (they use DHL Express). Usually full processing, shipping and getting through customs takes max 5 days.
I did of course get to pay customs tax, around 28 EUR (+-30 USD), I live in Barcelona.
It arrived in perfect condition and included a simple charging adapter.

ok thanks for your info, i live in Czech Republic so it will be similar

Liaow is $200 more than original price. it is quiet expensive without including shipment cost and customs.

giztop probably buys from JD and marks it up by $100

Even if you live overseas, you can purchase this mobile phone at the Chinese version of jingdong.com official store.

liaow wants $1150 shipped for the RoG Phone 2
I hope prices go down eventually. I am content with my OP7 Pro but would like something with better battery and no curved edges.
Something tells me it won't go down, blah.

is it reliable? the only chinese I buy from is Aliexpress, and sometimes the vendors are mean/tricky. i found this one:
https://item.jd.com/100006808184.html
But i m relying on google translate to understand the page... I m a bit worried about risk of not being able to communicate with the seller or so if anything happens... and there is no shipping cost?
Also i was reading the comments on the phone on JD and soo many complaints about defects in screens. it seems they are suffering from quality check ?
which makes me worried as Asus won't support tencent out of China...
And I tried to create an account and it requests to use phone number. I added my phone number but not receiving sms with the code. I guess they have the international code to my country wrong.
Thank you

Unlikely. I checked with a few reputed stores in Mumbai, no 1 has it or plans on having it. I asked croma on launch day, they too said no.

Both of them show sold out on FK right now. Any idea if these are going to come back for sale anytime soon?

Last time I owned a pixel, it was a pixel 2 and the service was pretty good. The service center would provide a pickup and drop service within Mumbai. So let's hope it remains the same.
