Used iPhones cheaper in VNM or TH?

[westcoastUSA]

Hello all! I'll be coming to Hanoi from Chiang Mai soon and in the market for a secondhand iPhone — SE 2020, 11, XS or XR. Does anyone have a sense of whether these would be cheaper in TH or VNM? SE 2020s are around 200-250 USD here. Thanks in advance!

It's a gamble. 

 

Lots of fakes on the market. 

Be very careful buying second hand. 

 

I'd never buy a used phone. 

 

Why don't you look at a new Xiaomi, Redmi, OPPO or VIVO, good phones at a good price. 

 

I thought it was only my wife that bought iPhone's these days.

Risky endeavour Vietnam is flooded with fakes. Here there's lots too. I'd suggest you go to a reputable repairer/retailer and ask about buying the model you are looking for ... paying maybe a bit more and getting at least some protections from buying through such other understandably dubious avenues.

You could buy online for my home country of Oz or another western country where fakes are very few and far between.
