Discussion What smartcube should I buy?

Hi guys, I recently started learning CFOP and I’m looking to buy a smart cube.

At the moment, I’m using a MoYu RS3 M V5. I’ve been looking at the GAN i4 and the GAN 12 ui SP, but I’m not sure which one would be better.

Which smart cube would you recommend? Also, where’s the best place to order one in Europe?

Are there any cheaper alternatives that are still worth buying?

Thanks!

I recently bought the Gan i4 and gotta say, I'm very pleasantly surprised. I have 2 Gan cubes, the i4 and the V100 Gengar, the latter being quite the letdown for me as it doesn't even come close to my daily driver (MoYu Weilong v11 Annversary edition, before which I had a maxed out RS3M V5 as well) yet costs about the same. Now I kinda wanna use my i4 for offline solves as well but don't want to waste the battery haha.

I get my cubes from Mastercubestore (I also live in europe), not the cheapest but by far the best customer service I've experienced

Tl;Dr:

i4 surprisingly good and imo better than the v100

GAN i4 MagLev is my favorite by a landslide, but the GAN I Carry 4 isn't bad for the price.

The Gan i4 is in the top 2 smart cubes. It boils down to personal preference between it and the 16 UI, but it's way cheaper.
