One of the phones doesn’t work on some UK 4G networks. One arrived with a Chinese version of Windows installed. Case in point: three of the devices I tested have keyboards, but not one of them has the pound sterling or symbols where British users would expect them. But you also have to buy blind and forgo after-sales support, as well as risk getting stung with local import duty.Ĭost aside, it’s worth nothing that you don’t get a UK-optimised device for your money. On the one hand, you can get some wacky and useful gear at agreeable prices. Buying gadgets from China is something of a doubled-edged sword. That's why I keep a close eye on what's rolling off the assembly lines in Shenzhen, China, epicenter of the cheap and the unusual when it comes to tech. For years I've been fascinated with cheap and unusual tech, rather than mainstream gadgets.
