But! He haz solved the problem!! "This phone from teh interwebs haz all the specks I will ever need & only $180 - wish.com is my saviour!" He struts around for a week or so, expecting a Galaxy slayer in his mailbox.
Didn't look too bad at all...
The specification stacked up to the advertising...
With a 16mp camera, no less...
Except there's a little bit of suspicion when he proudly invites me to inspect & eat my earlier criticism. Those look like, no they don't just look like, they are Android 6 icons...
And I don't recall Android 9.1 being released, although I do recall the announcement that 9.1 would be Q & therefore Android 10. Hmmm.
The photos aren't very big, considering 16MP. & with all that processing power, I'm expecting this premium handset to be somewhat hefty, not this lightweight but shiny device here. Time to download a device detail app, which will tell the troos...
OMG! This is not the rockstar phone I was sold! Even the software iz not troo!
Yes, Geekzoners, Wish.com was not the panacea for his not being allowed nice things. Wish had, in fact, robbered him in broad daylight!! Not 10-core, 4. Not 16MP, 2. 6GB RAM was only 2. And Pie was really Marshmallow. *Sigh*
So where's the happy ending?
A complaint from an indignant mechanic was raised with Wish - who, to their great credit, responded in short time that they had immediately credited his account with a full $180 refund. Well done Wish, refund is good. But the story does not end there...
Seizing his opportunity, the mechanic went for the kill - "That's not good enough. I want the actual phone I bought. I need a phone, I bought a phone, I want that phone with all that specification" Again Wish acquiesced - "fair enough, we shall send to you".
And that, readers, is the happy ending to a Wish.com saga. So far anyway, the replacement phone isn't expected for a few days yet.
