What cheap Chinese tech have you bought, and would you recommend it?
Yes, we know everything is already from China but in here we discuss the no/low-name cheap shit you see on eBay, AliExpress and similar sites.

Been using Alipay for years. It's better than Ebay.

Redmi note 3, note 2, ulefone power, meizu, or k3 note?
>>53795667
redmi note 3 pro 32gb version
>>53795667
Note 2 is the best value but Note 3 looks better. Get a nice case for your Note 2 and you're golden.
>>53795667
Xiaomi Note 2 or or Note 3 Pro, as far as I am concerned.

CHINK CHINK CHINK

>>53795691
I've been going out of my way to order every conceivable case for my note 2, since I destroyed 2 phones by going caseless. Now I'm doing the ultimate trial to figure out what sort of case I enjoy the most that isn't shit.
>>53795791
Yes, the 32GB version, not the 16GB one
>>53795791
There are two models of the note 3 pro, one with 2gb ram and 16gb storage and one with 3gb ram and 32gb storage
>>53795780
Just phone your bank and they will issue you a new card and reverse the payments.
Whats the big deal?
huh so you guys just kind of rolled over for the autist insisting the title can't be chink shit general
How do I even create an AliExpress account anyways?? All roads lead to pic related.
>>53795834
>>53795817
I decided to get the note 2 because it's cheaper and has the heliox10, which is pretty kick ass.
Does this look right or can I get it cheaper?
>>53795877
Disable adblock.
>>53795886
Benchmarks for the X10 compared to the SD 650 are pretty bad.
>tfw I fell for the Snapdragon 616 meme
hows the mi 5?
>>53795886
Found one slightly cheaper.
>>53795928
Is that single or multi thread?
>>53795928
Some MT6795 devices score over 60,000, plus the Redmi Note 2 is $50 cheaper than the lowly 16gb/2gb Note 3 Pro.
>>53795886
I got one for my friends dad.
It was 125 USD.
ps: i would go for the note 3 instead
>>53795995
>I would go for the note 3 instead
Why?
Any reasons?
>>53796020
Autism
>>53795667
Why are these fucking phone called "Note" if they don't even have pen input of any kind? I don't get it. Is it just a synonym for phablet?
>>53795780
>he can't create temporary credit cards with a credit limit
Get a better bank.
>>53795977
The 6795 is awfully close to the 6752 in geekbench
Any cool bike shit besides flashlight/phone mounts and safety lights?
>>53796064
is that 2.2ghz Note 2 an Advanced Version?
>>53796064
6795 is definitely still faster though.
They're both offering really nice performance for the price though.
>>53795605
>that irradiated Korean? guy holding a fucking mango
>>53796020
the price difference worth the extra features plus the 3 gig ram allows it to be used for longer
that's that is only my opinion
>gearbest in charge of shipping
>>53796208
just paper and tape? idgi
>>53796239
That was the entire picture they uploaded. No label, just the corner of the box. I suspect this is one of their stock shipping pictures that they send to people when their items are on backorder.
>>53796263
goddamn chink
>>53795780
Been using Alibaba and Aliexpress for several years and have always had perfect transactions
my 0.10 dollar flashlight from gearworst has been sent with PostNL but the tracking number doesn't show anything.
Is that normal?
>>53795808
Buy an extra screen just in case you break it. Replacing the Note 2 screen isn't difficult and the screen itself costs €20 on Aliexpress. Get the one with housing for faster installation.
>>53796348
no, say goodbye to those 10 cents sucker
>>53796348
Yeah. They didn't really ship it yet or the shipping company hasn't scanned it in. Tracking number should be working in 5-7 days if they shipped it.
Gearbest has a nasty habit of marking something shipped or processing when it's out of stock, then shipping it a month or two months later once its in stock again. Best rule of thumb is to file a paypal dispute after 2 months if you don't have the item.
>>53796375
Why must you be so evil?
Since gaybeast took my naughty points away I've not even had the option to use my remaining legit points.
The box where you enter the amount of points to be used just doesn't appear.
Why are Americans so paranoid about not buying direct from the merchant?
>>53796263
No it isn't. They sent me pictures of my past packages, some too blurry to read, but I have received everything up to date.

>>53795605
I made a purchase off Banggood and hat to pay VAT (to the delivery man).
I had paid for VAT insurance on that order.
Will I automatically get VAT refunded or will I have to contact Banggood support?
>>53796526
It is indisputable that gearbest marks items shipped when they don't even have them in stock. It wouldn't surprise me if they kept of a bunch of blurry pictures on hand to validate the "shipped" status if anyone were to complain.
>>53796551
You'll have to contact Banggood. The stinky chinky won't give you a refund unless you hound them.

i shouldn't have fell for the gearshit meme
>>53796490
because buying direct from china means no warranty, no returns, no consumer protections, etc.
You're paying less, but you're also taking the risk of wasting more money than if you had just bought something domestically.
There's also the issue of TIME.
Not everyone wants to wait 2+ weeks for china shipping.
For a lot of people, their time is worth more than that, and they'll gladly pay more if it means they get their things in 2 days rather than 2 weeks.
>>53796737
>>53797309
>>53797338
I'm not any of these anons. I own cherry red switches for 3 or 4 years now. They are fucking silent and I'm a light typer. I don't even need those rubber donut ring things. It's great for games.
>>53797338
When you spam you don't bottom out?
>>53797381
cherry red switches with O-rings are soo quiet, it's like a really airy rubber dome keyboard without any of the the mush.
>>53796969
Please respond.
>>53797453
time?
I live in the US, my orders usually arrive within 10-14 days.
It's really a matter of order and forget it.
When that envelope arrives at your doorstep, it's a nice surprise.
>>53796020
Battery on the redmi note 3 / note 3 pro is so much better than the note 2. It's a 4100mah battery. Meanwhile the note 2 has a decent sized 3000mah battery but it actually has power management issues or they use a junk battery. Even third party ones last longer in the redmi note 2 apparently.
>>53797489
I mean I've placed an order but haven't paid for it, how much time do I have before they take it down?
>>53797381
I got cherry reds and I rarely bottom them out. So good for gaming and typing once you get used to the sensitivity
>>53797607
i think you have 3 days
it says when you place an order..
>>53797607
You mean in your cart, or you already pledged to pay?
I didn't even know that was an option.
This isn't an auction site where they give you 3 days to pay up after winning.

Nigger, how fucking cares about those numbers if you will feel no difference between any phone with a Helio X10 or a Snapdragon 820, now days phones have retarded amounts of processing power than like 0.1% of the users need.
>>53795945
The 616 is pretty good, just stay away from the 615.
>>53796969
Couple days. There's no pressure though. You can just cancel at any time without paying.
>>53796551
Open a ticket, upload evidence and they will refund you, that's how it works with Pandawill, dunno about Banggood.

fuck you dude, hope you dildo gets lost before it reaches your anus.
Anybody have issues with Ali sellers not shipping shit? Recently I've had a few sellers take their merry time to ship (some up to 5 days before I cancelled the order) especially during the anniversary sale. Do they not want to sell at a loss or something? Then why put it up for sale in the first place?

Moran, good god you niggers seriously never try to start a retail store, you guys are clueless about this kind of shit.
They are waiting for the sale to end so they can see the total number of sales, what do you think it's going to be cheaper for the seller:
Buying 50 pieces daily or waiting for the sale to end and buying 300 pieces at a better price from the actual manufacturer?
>>53798256

>>53797778
Teclast x98 Plus is the best bang for buck of the chink tablets with 4GB of RAM, also the battery is pretty good 8 hours of screen time, the X98 Pro eats battery for breakfast, avoid it.
What the fuck is this? I ordered my Piston 3s from ibuygou 22 fucking days ago, i paid for some paypal package shit which was 3 dollars and my tracking number never worked on their tracking site and now today i look it up on 17track and it's fucking China post?
It left the country over 20 godamn days ago and yet it still has yet to even get a Canada post tracking number? Am i getting cucked and Canadian customs is fucking my package?
>>53798898
At this point is most likely that the package is already waiting for customs clearance in your country, some packages go tax free while other are picked for customs inspection and when that happens the tracking may not show that it's already in your country until customs release it.
>>53798898
Did you buy something from Dongguan? It's best if it never arrives.
Today I send back a faulty item to China, it was $5.7 dollars to ship it back, now I play the waiting game.
>>53798256
>>53798925
Just my luck to get fucked, i just want my meme headphones already. It's going to take forever knowing Canada post even when they get it. I would honestly rather have paid like 40 CAD then the 24 something i paid to get them from China, if it meant buying it here and getting it right away.
>>53798932
I bought it from ibuygou, maybe they have a warehouse in Dongguan.
Chuwi hi10 is better than teclast right? The keyboard alone makes it more useful
>>53798468
>will they help pass the time until my chink shit arrives?
Exotic as it gets
>>53798517
Nice box is worth it. Chinese don't fuck around with their green tea.
Anyone buy stuff from G-MARKET GLOBAL? They're Korean.
>>53799120
You need to pay for the keyboard, both have official keyboards, the Hi10 keyboard has track pad, the teclast one doesn't.

So please suggest me, it's a fake one?
>>53799739
Why does it look so wet? Did you suck on it?

Yeah yeah I know, but just a warning. better pay $30 more for a Xiaomi or Meizu.
Are your packages going to be safe while they wait out in the elements for days before being transported to the next shipping office?
To anyone who bought any phone from Aliexpress, ever happened to you to get a different model(im trying to buy Redmi note 3 pro 32gb snapdragon 650)

Poorfag pls don't judge.

Just cos you're poor doesn't mean you should rob someone out of their livelihood. There is nothing more despicable than self-entitled poor people who think they can get away with it because somehow the universe is responsible for their current state and owes them.

My experience with it:
~6 hour battery life if you have screen on non-stop.
~7+ days if you just use it for calls

Nah no one owes me, my standards are just that low.

anyway, I think 2gb would be enough even for me, neither of us is a 'power user', but will see. I just hope it was really shipped before the cakergate happened and everything is alright. I plan to make a video opening just in case.
On a side note:
is the 440 steel any good ? Can/should I buy better from China ?
I have: http://www.amazon.com/USA-MT-378-Folding-Tactical-Handle/dp/B001F4SK5C
it sits on my desk mostly for opening or cutting stuff. Is there any point in upgrading ? As an EDC I have a victorinox knife. I think i jsut want to justify yet another order!

did you chop the curly bits off your battery holders because it makes them harder to get out, or because they took up too much room?
