Discounted phones include: Xiaomi Buying Advice This might sound obvious, but remember that if you do buy from China the product is likely to be Chinese. The Chinese Mi Band 3, for example, has Chinese icons that you probably won’t understand – and the UK version is so cheap anyway (£26.99 retail price) that the few pounds you might save simply isn’t worth it. For Xiaomi phones you can get around this by looking for a Global model on which Google services are preinstalled (if you do get a Chinese model you will need to install Google services yourself).
Double-check which connectivity bands are supported in the product listing – Chinese-ROM Xiaomi phones very often skip Band 20 (800MHz) 4G LTE. This isn’t the end of the world for many customers as it’s one of three 4G bands we use in the UK, but if you’re on a network that uses only that band for 4G (O2, GiffGaff, Sky Mobile etc) you will be limited to 3G or Wi-Fi. Xiaomi laptops are gorgeous, powerful and excellent value devices, and the only thing that stops us recommending them to UK users is the fact they are sold running Chinese-language Windows 10 with a US keyboard layout. You might be able to get through the setup procedure using Google Translate, but you’ll still find much of the OS is Chinese. A better approach is to reinstall an OEM version of Windows 10 designed for UK users, and you can get these for as little as £10-£20. As well as reinstalling the OS you’ll want to install missing drivers that are wiped during this process, which you will be able to find online if you have another computer you can use to download them.

A driver updater utility will also help here. Note that you will probably need to have to hand a wired mouse to install these drivers if the trackpad drivers are missing. Ignoring the language issues, one other thing to watch when buying from China is that you are liable for paying import duty.

Yes, it’s true that not all parcels are picked up by Customs, and you might ‘get away with it’, but by law you should pay 20% of the value printed on the shipping paperwork. Some people find they get a request for this payment several weeks after the product is delivered, while others will have to pay before it is delivered. Either way, if it looks like a good deal, make sure it still sounds like a good deal when you multiply it by 1.2. ONDECEMBER 17 "3D PRINTED HEAD CAN UNLOCK HIGH-END ANDROID SMARTPHONES; IPHONE X ‘IMPENETRABLE’: REPORT" 3D printed head can unlock high-end Android smartphones; iPhone X ‘Impenetrable’: Report Apple iPhone X was crowned as the most secure smartphone among all the phones tested by Forbes cybersecurity journalist Thomas Brewster. Forbes cybersecurity journalist Thomas Brewster has found that how insecure the face unlock feature has been on some of the top-ranked Android smartphones.
Brewster conducted a test where he tried to unlock four premium Android smartphones like the Galaxy S9, OnePlus 6, Galaxy Note 8 and LG G7 ThinQ using a 3D printed head printed at the backface studio in Birmingham, United Kingdom. All four smartphones were easily fooled by the 3D printed head, with only FaceID on the iPhone X being ‘impenetrable’. According to the test conducted by Brewster, OnePlus 6 was the least secure among them as the phone instantly opened when “presented with a fake head’. LG and Samsung smartphones faired a slightly better as they displayed a warning that facial recognition might not be as secure as the regular fingerprint scanner.
The report noted that during the testing LG did even roll out an update which made the G7 ThinQ slightly more secure.
