Picked up the note version for my mum in a previous deal. Build quility is excellent and functionality and simlicity of use great, no nonsense bloatware. They're very good value for money.

Yes but means losing the second sim slot

band 8 isn't too much of a problem as most 4g use the 1800mhz band

Really? Is some form of modification required to make this happen? All reviews and specifications suggest not.

Specs on Gearbest say "SIM Card: Dual SIM dual standby. One is Micro SIM card slot, the other is Nano card slot, which can also be used as a TF card slot. "

Yes you can use one slot for a micro sim and the other for a nano sim or micro sd (no mod required)

just tried to order and it's coming out much more than that when you actually check out and it does the rate conversion for you, £130 :confused:

yeah not sure where op's seeing 86.33?

it show that price on checkout with the code, but when you proceed to payment screen it bumps up, not the old fault bit should be edited.

I went for aliexpress as for the £97 it comes up at I got the same phone and a decent flip case and tempered glass screen protector

Strange. I'm still getting £86.33 at checkout stage. Maybe because I'm processing it on my mobile.

Tempted and have ordered quite a few things from China without a problem but with Gearbests awful reputation for customer service I think I will give it a miss.

The redmi note 2 is a better option for the same price. Faster, bigger sceen, takes dual sim and a micro sd

This one will have much better battery though as the battery is ~33% bigger.

That would be perfect for me if it had a 5" screen. Do you hppen to know if Xiaomi do a 5" with dual SIM and a micro sd slot?

EDIT : I think I've found one - 4.7" instead of 5" but that's even better for me. Xiaomi Redmi 2

Does this come pre-installed with the China ROM or the Global ROM? Is Play on there by default?

Please please if you have to buy from this company, you MUST use paypal, otherwise kiss goodbye to your money should anything go wrong. I've been there..

Isn't the more often question if it can handle the 800Mhz band? 1800Mhz seems to be the norm for most 4G phones.

Unless things have changed O2 use 800Mhz and is often the Band that many China imports do not support.

People who have bought here, did you get hit by import taxes?

Bargain. I'm good at cracking so I might buy this and crack it open to insert iOS.

Good price but remember its gearbest..worst company ever if u have a problem...
Make sure you use PayPal and you will be sending it back to China if u have an issue.
They will try everything to get outa a refund.
Took me two months via PayPal to get a phone sent back and refunded by PayPal.
Never ever again

It`s an okay-ish price an` all, blah, blah blah ( I bought a Redmi 2 for my mum, works well) but it`s not going to get much attention at that cost with GearBest as the retailer, `cos there are similar products to be had nearer home, with better customer service, warranty etc. A Xiaomi redmi 3 4G from the "Orient" should cost no more than about 60 quid in order to win fans. :wink:
