it depends on what you need, the note 3 has no SD card slot and no removable battery or backplate where as the note 2 has a smaller battery and no fingerprint reader. I like the note 3 but don't really need a fingerprint scanner. I am however someone who likes SD card storage for easy transfer of files from one device to another or simply to store ROMs, pics, music or video on.
I also like the ability to swap the backplate out if you scratch up the old one or want a new look. personally I love the note 2 but if SD card storage ain't your bag and you are cool with maybe getting a case on your phone, go note 3 :sunglasses:

I wanted to return my note 2 , but gearbest offered me £23 so I refused, they then asked me to send my phone back to china, even tho I got the EU delivery, but when I spoke to paypal, the guy on phone said 'no you cant send it back to china, because they wont accept a battery in post , I will issue a full refund, contact gearbest to collect it from YOU', I did contact them and they have not even acknowledged me, so I ended up with a free phone

Still a phone from china iam guessing if it goes wrong you need to send it to China? I would personally go with the 3gb ram note for less than 30 pound more with bigger battrey 3gb ram and fingerprint sensor. I know this is from EU store and will be delivered faster but if you can wait then I would go for that. Still a good price for what it is

Wow I
I bought a Redmi Note 2 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 is nice with the extra RAM and finger scanner but it doesn't have the removable battery, SD Card or the changeable back covers (there are a few interesting unofficial ones out there).
Just waiting for a solid custom ROM to run on this.
Edit:
Wow I need to finish reading the comments before posting my own... Complete agree with Kenneth131

I bought this phone from Gearbest. Didn't buy from their EU warehouse, which you will get quicker delivery. Although you can pay extra, I just went via snail mail lol which took about 4-5weeks. Wasn't in a rush so was happy enough.
Gearbest always got back after emailed for update etc. Couldn't fault them or the phone one bit.

". XIAOMI RedMi Note 2 (Advanced Edition) "
I thought the advanced edition came with 3GB of RAM? The spec listed says 2GB.
