Excellent price for the EU Warehouse (they are charging more from their China Warehouse). Arguably the flashiest colour as well! EU warehouse so guaranteed no customs and delivery should be way quicker than stuff ordered from their China Warehouse.
Amazing spec for the asking price! The same processor as you will find in the HTC M9+!
Caveats:
Please be aware this version of the Redmi Note has NO SD card so if you are the sort who likes to put A LOT of stuff on your phone this 16GB version is most probably not the version for you!Non-removeable battery also.
Please also be aware this phone doesn't have the full spectrum of 4G bands so make sure it is compatible with your network before buying.
And, yes, it's Gearbest again but at the moment they seem to be oiffering the best deals on mobiles like this so no apologies.
Don't forget Quidco/Topcashback also available with this company.

We should boycott all items made in China, never heard of a single item ever that's lasted more than a week from there :man:

They are selling the 5" Mi4i for an amazing £97 BUT it's from their Hong Kong warehouse so a far longer wait
Buy the 2013 Nexus 5, its still a great phone. Its the same price as this.

What's this like in comparison to the HTC one m8s? I have that and I am finding it so slow so don't know whether to sell it and get this instead. Thanks.

I have this model in my hand now but can't compare to what you have. I can say its a nice build, very nice screen and phone is fast. You will have to mess a little to get it working right though as the rom it comes with has been changed to include the play store but its a bit buggy. I have a custom rom on it based on current chinese rom and its pretty good. Comes rooted this rom but can un root with super su installed.
It will be some weeks before there is a stable international rom for it. You can install the weekly EU rom but that will require a boot loader unlock and twrp recovery installing. The rom I have can just be installed with the flash tool and is simple.
I would say if you happy changing roms then you will be happy if not stick to a UK model.
I like it but I am already thinking of getting an LG G Flex 2 due to trying a mates and loving it and the ease of it having a working rom out of the box.
