Making me think I should check my paypal account Still no update on the gearbest tracking for the phone but hopefully it will come this week. More worrying, the seller on aliexpress hasnt acknowledge my request to cancel the order 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered a few things from China now and tbh been quite lucky this far to avoid any customs duty charges but I've always went for standard shipping. Did you go for expedited shipping again Mr X? Only time I've had to pay import tax was for a 3D background that I ordered for my aquarium from the USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Phone arrived today Really like the blue and the size of the phone. It's also really fast, like really fast!A little dissapointed in the screen though. The white is really washed out and nowhere near as bright as the maya max. Not convinced by the colours either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the Miravision to adjust the colour, contrast and brightness. After doing that, I thought it looked great. I thought you swapped over to the black one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they never actually gave me a straight answer as to which one would come in stock first, so I stuck with the blue. Glad I did, it looks really good. Its nowhere near as bright as it looks on the videos and from certain angles actually looks black. I ordered a black one from aliexpress who were supposed to have them in stock but obviously didnt. Im now trying to cancel that but they keep ignoring my messages I've messed about with Miravision but the whites still look washed out and yellow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Getting to that time of the 2nd year again when my phone contract runs out. I'm a iphone guy, wouldn't say I'm a fan boy or anything like that but I'm scared to switch to android after getting 3 faulty Samsung phones in a row a few years ago. Boalk at the thought of paying at least £40 a month for the new iphone though That Leagoo S8 looks cracking. Don't think I'd mind taking a punt on a phone like that for £100. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I'm really pleased with how the colours and whites look on display. I do agree that the screen on the Maya Max looks brighter when both are on max though, but would say S8 is still bright enough, even in direct sunlight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that it isnt bright enough, its that the whites look yellow. Apparently, its not uncommon with new phones. I didnt really notice it that much at first until I put it beside the Max Ive downloaded a screen adjuster app to play about with 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I've just come across how to add developer options in settings. Click on "About phone" in settings, then click on "Build number" 7 times. That adds the developer option in settings menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
