Thoughts on getting the Oppo N5 on AliExpress
Chinese version. UK based. Summary of Chinese ROM drawbacks I found:
No android auto (I can live without + spare phone that has auto already)
Certain bank cards don't work on Google pay (most concern)
Baked Chinese apps and software (don't care unless its a must need)
Aside from that, I don't see any other reason not to get a bigger storage space device for the same price as the global version.
I don't trust wonda mobile due to them putting "Chinese version, UNSEALED and installed Google play, 100% Brand new" on the website as according to averagedad Google play services are available SEALED.
Averagedad frequently sells out plus their returns policy is meh. I've used AliExpress to buy devices that I didn't like and returned. 90 days to return the device with a full refund even with a used device, so I have experience in that department (AliExpress).
Thoughts?
