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

Xiaomi Hongmi phone will fit your requirement

Used Huawei P6. lots of them around locally

or alcatel even cheaper


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

oh, nvm, I thought "HSDPA 900 / 2100" will work with Wind

latest partnership between microsoft and xiaomi.
windows 10 will be available for xiaomi phones very soon. mi4 running win10:

Interesting...
xiaomi with win10 and meizu with ubuntu

How's the Ubuntu OS so far? Work with OPO?

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.

need to get a new phone, cuz im starting to get tired of my mi3 & im getting free upgrade to 4G............but i have to get a new phone on a CDMA network

whats a good phone thats bang for your buck, yes im looking for another chinese phone as its cheaper then samsung

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.

The two devices I've most recently seen being hyped are

Alcatel OneTouch's 5.5-inch Idol 3 now available for early pre-order for just $199.99

and

Mlais M52 4G LTE phone w/ 5.5" 720P HD 2GB RAM 16GB ROM - $142US - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

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

uleFone's newest flagship: ULEFONE Be Touch | Features - ulefone

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.

huawei is out of my range as i was just hoping spend 300 CND on a new phone

my Meizu seen to fine right now & it does have some unique features that i have yet been able to get working

also i cant seem to run RS once i log it & i dont know why

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 FailFish

i'm getting someone to buy the huawei p8 which seems to be compatible with wind. also, if the p8 is not available since it's only released this year in april, then i'll get the huawei mate7. what do you guys think about these 2 phones?

gsmarea lied to me lol, i cant a sd card on to sim slot 2

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.

there is also the 5.7" Huawei Nexus later this year

^
the price would be cheap for that phone

Anyone try the ele p7000?
