Do you guys have any recommendations for a cheap phone that will work on Wind? Not expecting much in terms of performance/features.

nope, as a matter of fact most Chinese phones dont work on Wind as they lack UMTS1700/2100. But this will change very soon.

It is mind boggling how there is a no mention of newly released LeTV Le1/Le1 Pro/ Le max, that phone is the biggest bang for the buck among all smart phones.

Its a whole new game changer. Surprise to see no one even mentions it here.

Interesting... just read about it here: https://lesterchan.net/blog/2015/04/...-1-pro-le-max/

The prices sound like they'll be around USD400, so I guess it would be competing against the OnePlus crowd.

soooooo mi4 new promo means i have to have a bidding war with huge amount of ppl here in china, just so i can buy their mi4 at a cheap price

so i cross that off my list as i have no luck whats so ever when it comes to stuff like this.........so i bought a Meizu M

back then when the MX came out, i really wanted one............but asian XL said it horrible phone with good specs & 4 years later he still right

less then 5 days my phone died after i did a stock OS upgrade (thank god for customer service), i took back to them & they fix it for me after giving me a BS excuse

will be getting a mi4 after they stop the bidding war

How about getting a huawei honor 6 plus? I have the honor 6 and use it when I visit china. Is a pretty decent phone. But lacks LTE and 3G in Vancouver lol.

i posted this in the xiaomi thread but this seems to be the right place as well.

does the xiaomi m4 work with windmobile? it seems that wind uses 1700/2100 but xiaomi only supports 2100 and not 1700. can anyone clarify?

If in fact the M4 only supports 2100, then the answer is no.

Almost none of the China phones are usable on Wind.

wont work at all

I recommend you the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3. Better than Mi4 actually. Idol 3 is the best underrated budget smartphone you can buy (and use on Wind).

so surprised that so few even mention the Idol 3 on here

Huawei P8 - Full phone specifications

my new phone. there's a lot of chinese bloatware that i uninstalled so hopefully it doesn't cause any os instability. but i mainly uninstalled chinese newsreader and shopping apps. phone build is great and the specs aren't bad. camera is so far so good and seems to be on par with iphone 6 in daylight at least when i compare it to my gf's iphone. all in all good phone.
