Very well made phone for it's price
Had some teething problems.First and second phone I was sent would not reconnect to the wifi after every time I stopped using it for than ten fifteen minutes.By third try I was proper annoyed, as my last phone had caught fire in my hand, burning not justy last phone, sim and sd card but 3 tries had left my finances in mess as it was taking 7 to 14 days for refunds, even if got code to release money from pending transactions.However I was surprised when the company got in touch after my complaint and had already gotten in touch with the tech dept and explained what to do, but they explained what was wrong but I had returned the phone again but the truth was the phone was very well made and it was being sold for 135 too 155 pounds through different outlets but initially I was worriedAs I had bought fairly cheap phones about 5 years ago which had brilliant specs but was actually a nightmare to usee.I bought the phone again as it was very well made phone, other than miner issues, wifi one which was fixed, curser jumps about at times if phone isn't held level but that was an issue with very expensive Samsung set I had bought few years ago, so I decided to buy thesame phone 3rd time and just for the record, I was given agood price as phone had gone back and fourth a few times, very quickly. Hermes came here twice to pick it up from home, for free which was impressive.Did Google ulefone, it is one of the biggest companies in china which makes phones aimed at more expensive customers.Had the phone for a few days and o issues so far, very impressed because it is at least around hundred pounds cheaper than other phones with similar specs, let's hope it last as I used to struggle with 4 sets, reading, calls , Whatsapp which all went pretty much used I or rather my other half one by one left them on buses in just a few days bringing my phone count to one when when note p 11 was delivered, was thrilled, back up to two as if u read a lot , for medical reasons, need to recharge the phones and need more than one ideally.Was still trying to shift sim and sd card to new phone and use other one just for Kindle when it began to some and within couple of seconds it was burning like a fire work. Wasn't burnt badly because live in a medical needs bungalow and kutch us right next to bedroom so I just threw it into the kitchen sink and opened the taps.So back to just one phone but at least it is working well so I felt like it was unfair to leave my original review which gave note p 11, 5 stars but then one cos of the wifi issue, but which was fixed but it was the customer service in my case, it was brilliant but maybe cos I complaint and made my voice heard but everyone should complain, leave reviews both good and bad products should b called out for people and maybe we would get a much better service from companies.No had rough 2 weeks as old sim and phone had autofill passwords, plus sent one time codes to that number and email Cos not letting me log in as forgot password, remembered after like a week but still going back and forth with the phone company.But good phone and very good.company. both product and service says companies like these from china are not going anywhere. Spyware and espionage etc is double edged sword, I have probably agreed to give away my first born descendants for next 7 generation as I find it impossible to read every agreement for every app and even cookies for every websites.I don't care, but it is a big issue but as German chancellor said about idea that we made India into global hub for pharmaceutical manufacturing and they are refing to supply us key carona meds, which angered indians and others as indians worked hard and wEastern Cos good cheap skilled labour like they do with china for manufacturing but now china and to some extent India is a problem as they are part of the new world order where we are already in a multipolar world because west just wanted china to b a place for cheap production of labour( but if they got that done well at a massive scale like china then they get powers in other arenas).Because they can make phones like this and sell them globally then they got stronger militarily and politally. Maybe , make that very likely that some spies are tapped into phones, others have technology to gathere every letter sent spoken or messaged and they can just suck it out of thin air , kid off, while Russians just tap into undersea wires carrying the interweb packages, not like Amazon packages.Anyway I like the phone and the service and I am a physically and financially challaged person with a post grad degree in software development but I don't have a slightest clue what info is being stored on my phone via apps and cookies etc. I don't have anything to hide, don't have a mistress or two hidden away( sigh!) Nor am I making dooms day device in my garage, don't have a garage and very bad at science and maths anything which makes boring people dangerous.I am very worried about Chinese, Russians, saudis etc as do like to leave very boring and long reviews, if my phone review is this much rambling then imagine what I would say about MBS and that ex CIA assest that was killed and no one is asking for MBS to be named as the person who ordered the guy because well, he is a tyrant but he is our tyrant!It's got to be said, though worry about it for days. Mr Putin with his dooms day machines( cruise missiles with nuclear engine which can fly for indefinite time are just crazy) but Putin is even more scary as he actually had people killed in UK.So good phone, good customer service, buy the phone but I want CIA and mi5 to have a little part of my phones ram and Tim Just so they can keep an eye on what Mr Putin, xi, rocket man, MBS etc etc etc etc are trying to do in my phone, because they are doing all these things and more but if like me you write a proper hard hitting review which is dripping with verbal acid even MBS would be afraid to use( relying on you lads, but white house and no ten actually don't say much to MBS, even more worried now!)Okay already annoyed lots of people especially the phone company who probably don't like reviews with mention of supreme leader, oh yeah he was missing, Netanyahu, Hassan nasrullah, Modi, etc etc each one more dangerous than last and some or most r probably one happy pills....like me!Edit. Dec 5th 2021.I don't know if I am cursed or the phone is? Once again it has some problems, some from day one but which have intensified while some knew ones have emerged.The phone starts typing itself if the top side is tiled towards top left side down, just the curser jumps and a few words appear randomly, don't have a clue about why it's happening. However I could live with that.The new problem is extremely frustrating, the phone has slowed down very much while the whole point of buying 8 GB Ram phone was that it should do stuff fast, which it did at start like copying files and downloading apps at mind blowing speeds but it's barely began to use it internal memory but it take good ten seconds for it to load a website page, I click on something and it loads tiny bit if new line and then thinks long and hard before loading the page tried to get ride of cookies etc but has no affect what so ever.I was hopeful that the phone company being do proactive last time would b keeping an eyed on things and would release a software patch or two to sort out these things, as essentially these problems are software issues, which could be easily solved.The most annoying issues has just began to develop about week ten days ago if that but it's is getting worse, so much so that I nearly smashed the phone on a wall, as at least half a dozen phones have commuted suicide via getting hit by a wall.The problem Is that when I am using a website like Amazon where one can scroll left or right, the phone suddenly stops scrolling, it was okay scrolling up and down but it has stoped dieing that and it just freezes. I have restarted if a few times and once again software files start working again but soon enough it is happening again.It is a real shame as still I think it is very well made phone for it's price and a giant global company like Ulefone should have stayed on top of software issues. Not sure how much impact western sanctions etc have had in Chinese tech companies but it is just matter of time,at least for Europe before they have to deal with these massive power houses, India is a good example, they boycotted Chinese companies after trouble with china over boarder issue but actually the trade grew by a staggering 70 percent.I may end up keeping this as a spare phone but I realized that Chinese are not coming but they are already here and america can either take it's place at a multi polar world or it will be left behind as Eurasian connectivetity goes into overdrive.

Really disappointing - find it hard to believe the spec
I would say you get what you pay for - except that this was meant to replace my Honor 9 that cost the same and lasted 4 years.This phone is terrible. Really slow, wifi disconnects all the time and the image quality of the camera is much lower than that of my really old phones. I find it hard to believe their hype and near impossible to think it's got 8Mb RAM. It's really heavy too, definitely not pocket or handbag friendly.The top it off I put my memory card in, it began to load then crashed and showed a javascript error. When I checked the card by putting it in my old phone and laptop it had corrupted all the data. Fortunately 2000 of my 5000 pics were backed up to Google Drive but lots of holiday snaps etc still lost.Keeping it for work with my work sim and buying a decent phone for myself, lesson learnt.

It runs all my apps really smooth with no glitches.
I was disappointed it was not compatible with contactless so I could use my card through Google pay. All in all very happy with everything else, although I don't like the way to camera sticks out. With the case on it's ok but if you don't want the case on it there's more chance of damaging the camera or scratching the lens, so is recommended use the case.

Good phone.
The media could not be loaded. Good phone. So far so good. Used for six weeks. Basic daily use (no games, no streaming music/movies). Descent camera. User liked the student mode.No inbuilt photo gallery, one had to be downloaded ( user didn't mind).SD card not yet used for memory extension, so unsure if it'll work with ease or will need formatting.

Good looking phone Bluetooth s bit dodgy
High spec cheap phone. Looks good works ok, except that the Bluetooth keeps loosing connection and won't pair with my cycle computer. Returned.

Not that good...
I liked the overall feel of the phone but I wasn't empressed with the camera or the 8gb of ram that the phone is supposed support. I also wasn't happy about, having to reset the phone twice, because I couldn't scroll in or out on Google maps or pictures on Facebook. This was really enoying...

Satisfactory for price
No complaints thus far save for the charger that's not functioning well, thus have to use a different charger sometimes.
