Well put it this way I had a s6 edge 32gb and the iPhone 6 Plus and I'm not going to purchase another contract phone again as you are just pis*ing money up against a wall as the phones coming out of China just now are amazing, I have the R7 and it destroys both the edge and plus on every possible thing even the camera don't be fooled it is a 21mp camera with a Sony lens, it's capped with the phones firmware to 13mp for better image stibility and they say they will up it using a firmware upgrade to re enable the full 21mp when they iron out the bugs in the firmware but the phone performs like a built, I can truthfully say I haven't held a better phone in my hand, it's processors, ram and rom make it one of the fastest if not fastest phone out there yes I know there is a few phones with 6gb but what's the point unless your going to use that and even Windows doesn't use 6gb of ram, it's dual sim and microsd only one or the other I'm afraid, the camera is superb and I have also had the Sony Z3 in the past but the camera is defo on par with the Z3 , it's also waterproof and it's non of this Sony crap that says the flaps have to be shut to make it waterproof, it has the highest dpi of any phone on the market it even beats the iPhone 6 Plus display for colours and clarity, who cares about battery life when it's got fast charge, all the usual lot of specs like nfc Bluetooth 4.0 , gorilla glass and a nice 5.5" screen with full 2k spec , to sum it of its unbeatable at present and for £129 delivered , God buy two in case you smash one lol I hope this helps people as I was humming and hoeing about for weeks trying to decide on the letv 6" pro max 2 I think it was but more than double the price for .5" more screen and it's not waterproof phone before choosing this one and I'm glad I did

Whats the camera like? Do i need to install anything extra?

has good reviews, but also seems a bit dated (2014) ... is it still 'up there' as a decent phone for the price?

Not as good as the Blackview R7 which is £130 from aliexpess note that the phone is waterproof as well and very high specs

Oh forgot to say just look at the pixel count for the screen as well

Blackview? Worth a look?

I'm sure the 3000mAh battery will be fine......unless you intend to jumpstart your car with it.

is this the same as the other deal on here for the redmi pro? or has the price dropped?
