GearBest is usually a good bet for a deal anyway, but right now a flash sale is throwing up some great savings. Our pick of the smartphones on offer are below, and they all come unlocked for worldwide use.

Xiaomi Pocophone F1

There’s a refreshing trend of packing high-end specs into affordable devices, and there are few better examples of this than the Xiaomi Pocophone F1. It boasts the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset and 6GB RAM, all for a fraction of the price of other flagships.

The Xiaomi Pocophone F1 at a glance:

• Display: 6.18 inches, 2246 x 1080 resolution
• CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 845
• System: Android 8.1 Oreo
• Memory: 6GB RAM, 64GB storage
• Cameras: 12MP and 5MP rear camera, 20MP front camera

There’s currently a 24-percent discount on the Pocophone F1, so right now you can pick one up for only $289.99. This offer still has around four or five days to run, but be aware that it could sell out first.

Nokia X6

If you’re on an even tighter budget, The Nokia X6 — which is effectively the Nokia 6.1 Plus — might be right up your street. It boasts 6GB RAM and 64GB storage, plus a 19:9 display and the infamous notch.

Honor 8X

Staying on the theme of high-spec phones that don’t cost the earth, the Honor 8X also features in the GearBest flash sale. This supersized phablet has a stunning design, and with a 3,750mAh battery, two days of use from one charge isn’t out of the question.

• CPU: HiSilicon Kirin 710
• System: Android 8.1 Oreo
• Memory: 4GB RAM, 64GB storage
• Cameras: 20MP and 2MP rear camera, 16MP front camera

During this promotion, the Honor 8X is available for only $249.99, which represents a $50 saving. There are a number of these models left on the site, but this particular sale ends mid-Friday, so you don’t have long to pick one up.

Xiaomi Mi Play

For something even more hot off the press, the Xiaomi Mi Play is a solid option. It was released just last month in China, so this is one of the first opportunities for the early-adopters to get it internationally.

• CPU: MediaTek Helio P35

Huawei
