Don't buy anything from this place. Ordered a tablet on the 16/11/15, payment taken on 16/11/15 its now 05/12/15 and the order is still just sat at "processing". I have contacted them and they say they don't actually have the item in stock, i asked to change to a different tablet, they said no and closed my case. They now won't respond to emails. Avoid at all costs.

Sorry to hear that but from my own experience 8 items ordered over the last 6 months and not one problem with exception of slow-ish delivery (all ordered from China warehousewhereas this is the eu warehouse so should be quicker). And I've always orered by paypal just in case.

the problem with this phone is the standard mi4 with snapdragon 801 is far better for similar money.plus better build quality also.the mi4c with the snapdragon 808 is also a lot better.and very little extra cost.the redmi note 2 is also better.

Ordered items from eu warehouse on two occasions and both times delivered within 2-3 working days from order date. I would happily order again from them. I haven't tried ordering anything from China though.

This is also interesting

I paid for British express (£1.80) on my last china warehouse phone and it was delivered within 5 days of ordering (Ordered Saturday came Thursday). It came by Yodel. Brilliant delivery time considering it came that far. Never had problems in the few times i used them.

Xiaomi are the Chinese Apple, Gearbest the Orient`s Amazon. :smile:

No problems with Gearbit.

Be careful with Gearbest, they take orders and money for items they do not have in stock and expect you to wait. When you submit a ticket they are slow to respond and if you keep asking for updates or a refund they start to ignore you. My item Redmi note 2 at the time had a dispatch time of 3 days, it took them 20 days to dispatch. After 14 days I asked them several times for a refund which they ignored until they shipped 7 days later. Have found a better service at banggood.

Good price and great phone but I would seriously consider spend extra for mi4c. Don't get me wrong, I own my mi4i since summer and very happy with it but few extra improvements on 4c are worthy.

Beware no o2 4g support

(Will also make make 3 and Vodafone coverage patchy)

i personally think REDMI note 3 metal is better and cheaper than this..114 from aliexpress

also processor better
http://versus.com/en/qualcomm-snapdragon-615-msm8939-vs-mediatek-helio-x10
Explicitly higher ram speed
933MHz vs 800MHz (Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939)
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
261
2.Sizably more CPU threads
8 vs 4 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939)
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
170
3.Amply faster CPU clock speed
8 x 2.2GHz vs 8 x 1.7GHz (Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939)
122
4.Uses HMP
Yes vs No (Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939)
Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) is a more advanced version of big.LITTLE technology. In this setup, a processor can utilise all cores at the same time, or just a single core for low-intensity tasks. This can provide powerful performance or increased battery life respectively.
84
5.Significantly more memory channels
2 vs 1 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939)
More memory channels increases the speed of data transfer between the memory and the CPU.
48
6.Higher version of eMMC
5 vs 4.5 (Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 MSM8939)
A higher version of eMMC allows faster memory interfaces, having a positive effect on the performance of a device. For example, when transferring files from your computer to the internal storage over USB.

Is that phone actually available now? (seem to remember it being a pre order? maybe I'm thinking of another one)

yes but preorder on gold colur

where is it 112 at aliexpress i could not see it for that?

this or Elephone p7000?

I have used this phone on Vodafone, it does get 4G but very rarely. As suggested by both OP and some posters. This phone is excellent for general use, the display and functionalities etc. are well worth the price. But, if you are hell bent on 4G - don't buy.

Wouldn't use this company again, PayPal claim going through :disappointed:

link for aleiexpress at 112 for red note 3

sorry 114?

I've just watched a bunch of youtube reviews and seems this phone has had a lot of problems with updates/performance...

Has anyone used one recently? Is the issue of apps loading very slowly and the camera crashing still present?

does this phone still have issues, I second the above person

Specs look like Ultra 6??

Good phone but you'll regret buying from Gearbest.

you do know what time of year it is? and last week was Black Friday .

Someone else ordered 3 days after me and it said it has despatched before mine....

Long story short i ordered a 7' phone/ tablet, Waited over a month then contacted them stating that it wasn't shipped ?
They told me that there was no stock ? but when i ordered it showed there was stock, Gearbest then offered three alternatives, 1 Wait, 2 Order something else, 3 they would credit my account, None of these are acceptable so claiming, I wont be using this company again.

mine already shipped... look in aliexpress..

​I order 7/12/15,shipped 12/12/15.I paid delivery charge £7.74(3-7days).I was send email but no answer.

Now £136.50
