You'll need to used to that after Brexit for everything outside UK.

I used to have the elephone p7000 but was never really happy with it. 5.5" was far too big for my liking, heated up a lot without throttling CPU, fingerprint reader was sketchy. Then one day it just broke horrendously and I couldn't even get into fast boot. It would crash and die after 20 seconds or so when I tried to turn it on etc. Anyway I sent it back to gearbest and to my astonishment it actually got to China (I wasn't holding my breath!) So I exchanged it for one of these
Absolutely love this phone. Perfect size, well build, rapid, nice UI, lightning fast fingerprint reader, Great camera. Granted the screen and camera aren't as mind blowing as high end Samsung's etc but for the price and whole package they're amazing. Oh and battery life is fantastic on this thing! Usually go to bed with over 50% (when I've not been on Pokemon go)
The best feature on this phone however is the IR Blaster, perfect for changing the local pub TV's to babestation :wink:

For anyone considering buying this. Just want to let you know that the Redmi 4 will launch on the 25th of this month. 5" 1080p screen and SD625 I believe. Might be worth waiting for. Unsure on how quick places like aliexpress pick it up.

Yes but you could use a credit card too if you prefer that method for chargeback

Use a credit card, then they are just as liable by law if something goes wrong, you can get your money back directly from the credit card company.
Paypal have their own system but its not a legal requirement.

I wouldn't risk it on any of the cheaper Chinese fones.

Worth paying more for the Note 5.5 with Snapdragon 650?

The 616 works really well.
It depends whether you want 5" 720p screen or 5.5" 1080p screen more than anything.

Not sure about the price difference, but I see that the new redmi pro with amoled screen, dual camera, helio x20, etc. is just £200, if buying a 5.5" xiaomi I would buy this one.

I think the Note 3 Pro may be coming to end of line at the moment because I was looking over the weekend and the 3GB/32GB models have all but disappeared from AliExpress and those that are left are expensive.

Geekbuying have the silver and gold ones (3Gb/32Gb) for about £132-134 and the grey for £142. I bought one of these for my son on Brexit day replacing a Lenovo K3 Note. Excellent phone except for the lack of Dolby Atmos, which he really liked.
Delivery is very rapid and came via Royal Mail (don't know how).
Apologies, they too are out of stock (so much for their marketing emails!)

That price is for the gold version. White/silver looks to be £116.80
Seems to be those two colourways only.
Voted hot! :smiley:

i got +22.00GBP added to mine when i got it from Gearbest making it 140.00GBP
But its a solid Pokemon Go Phone because of the 4200mAh battery & 5" 720p Screen ( the screen is nearly Samsung quality in saturated colours and looks soo sharp that i think its actually a 1080p panel inside) - hard to root though with issues with storage size
Typing on the phone as we speak
just a Solid Plain phone with Tonnes of battery and still thin.

I heard the P7000 wasn't as reliable. I have the P6000 myself and it's still going strong. Might upgrade to something like this though.
