While the selection of smartphones through local and budget brands is certainly diverse, there’s a certain delay between when an OEM device comes out and gets licensed or imported by one of the brands with a local presence. For those of you who aren’t willing to wait, buying through international online stores like Gearbest is a great way to get today’s newest technology now instead of tomorrow. One particular brand to look for is Leagoo which is currently holding a flash sale on Gearbest for the Leagoo Elite 1 and Elite 4.
Leagoo Elite 1
The Leagoo Elite 1 is the higher end smartphone of the two, sporting a 5 inch Full HD display, a 64-bit 1.3GHz MTK6753 octa-core CPU, 3GB RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. It even comes with fingerprint ID security built into the home button! This premium-looking 4G-enabled handset is on presale for just $179.99!

wow! great phone for such low price. since you’re already promoting/suggesting a product not available locally, can you post a guide on how to purchase safely from an online store overseas like gearbest as you suggested? what are the risks and how much will be the total cost including taxes when claimed at our local post office or couriers if there’s any? i’m a bit worried on purchasing mainly because of the current issues regarding BoC and Philpost charging unjustifiable amount when purchasing gadgets outside of the Philippines. thank you.
yeah tama c Jhay, can you guide your readers on purchasing at Gearbest. I want to buy there but hesitant because I don’t want to be scammed or have problems with my order.
