One thing that confuses me about this phone is the name. There's a Redmi Note 3 listed on GSMArena, and a Redmi 3 Pro, which is the 5" 720p version, i.e. a completely different phone, and then this deal (the phone I've ordered) is for a Redmi Note 3 Pro. Is there actually 2 different phones called a Note 3 and Note 3 Pro? I've even seen someone selling a Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime.

Just want to be sure the case I buy is going to fit.

According to the banggood product page, and gsmarena, yes it has both.

does this have a gyro/electronic compass?

Thank You

Hi
I got mine from Ellesmere Port Vodafone last week http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/motorola-moto-e-2nd-gen-payg-29-10-top-up-required-vodafone-2488675
I think its a case of popping into the local shop and seeing how near to £35 to £40 they can get it to on a deal. If they dont have stock they can phone the local stores for you.
hope this helps

Hello can you tel me where you got the Mot E I have checked the Vodaphone website but Moto E is no longer available.
Thanks

​my daughters vodafone smart ultra lasted for about 4 months before not responding to the button. Bought from Amazon, no warranty. what a load of rubbish. Phone and Amazon

I ordered a black mohoo wallet case off banggood for a few pounds. I did post links to screen protector and case in this thread but it's been deleted.

Anything of a similar sizeand spec to a z3 compact for a cheaper price? I can't have a phablet size as I'm a big clumsy idiot who breaks things.

​I ordered a Nillkin black case off of Amazon. Absolutely spot on, fits perfectly and is not large. Got it on my 3/32gb gold version

Any suggestions for a case, or is a phone of this size better off without one?

​just hate having a slow charging phone and worried that it won't last the day. currently got a Elephone p8000, 70% battery, SoT of 1 hr 30 and been off charge for 6 hours. However last 15% is just useless lasts about 5 mins. Usually get around 4 hours SoT when I play my game, then need charge for the little one to watch youtube

No.

Just get one as you won't need to charge during the day. I had to recharge my last phone (a Oneplus 2) every day and got through two full battery cycles - particularly at work as the signal is weak. With this phone I never worry about battery life and usually have 20 to 40% remaining. My phone has been off charge for 7hr 30min and has 78% left - 1hr 3min SoT and connected to my Mi band and also to my car on the way to work. I just don't worry about battery life any more.

​Do xiaomi phones comes rooted?

Some sellers will install their own custom ROM, this can be checked in about phone the version usually has an extra zero at the end. This will then cause issues when doing updates as it can't verify newer stable releases. I updated my redmi note 3 last night with the global experimental rom Miui8 and it took no more than five mins, you need to use miflash tool. You can find loads of tutorials online.

been looking at this phone for a week, umming and arring. what's putting me off is the old 1st gen quick charge, read you only get around 40-50% in an hour, with full charge taking around 3 hours. I'm a heavy user, SoT of about 7 hours a day and I don't like chargibh

Can the warranty be removed do you know?

Well, I actually have this exact phone, and I use tesco mobile which runs on o2 and I do get sporadic 4g- Giffgaff also runs on o2 so I'm not sure why that website says it doesn't have 4g on o2?

Just got stung by Everbuying on an Ulefone Vienna. After three months it over heated and died, Ulefone insisted I return at my own cost where they would decide if it was covered or not (I suspect not)
Previous chinese phone sold by banggood Elephone P7000 still going strong after two years.
it's hit and if you get a good one you've saved yourself a few quid. Get a bad one, tough luck.

​you will be pleasantly surprised with one of these trust me. as good as an s6 IMO.

I understood it and that is all that matters.
:man:

Thanks, does not work on giffgaff

Is there a 5-5.2 inch phone similar to this? My 5.5 inch phone is slightly too big to fully use with one hand and a somewhere around 5 or 5.2 inches would be perfect

Global version with same specs can be found on aliexpress for £15 more or so, but with the benefit of 800mhz band. Used for 4G on some networks. Worth considering the bit extra for a better connection.

would advise spending an extra c. £20 for the 3gb ram 32gb storage edition. Had that model for about a week and it's great. Use the phone hard e.g. Google maps etc and it still has lasted each day so far. On a low/mid use day you should get a couple of days without charging it. Did flash a clean MIUI ROM to make sure it is secure - I'd recommending doing that with all of these type of phones

​Mine is good. No problems with it. Built as well as most phones are to be honest. Certainly you would expect a lot worse for the money. Decent screen, good fingerprint scanner, huge battery.... Got it as was bored with my Xperia Z5. The only thing I miss is the waterproofing.

Move on.

if anybody is concerned about MIUI, this phone now has official Cyanogenmod support !

I'd like to give a teenager one as well, but I'm not quite sure this is the correct forum ...:smirk:

I have had the 3GB/32GB gold model for 4 months. Bought it from GearBest for 170. Didn't have to pay import duty as they mark it as a gift. Shipping was free and they offered tracking.

The phone itself is brilliant. Very well made. Screen is great and it performs very well. Hasn't slowed down as yet. It lets you unlock the phone as well as individual apps with finger print recognition. This feature is lightning fast too.

Downsides
1 - No NFC and hence no Android pay if at all you use it.
2 - Camera is not the best in the world
3 - Missing 800 band

But overall it is a brilliant phone and I will stick to this brand as it is excellent value for money.

Agree, nowt wrong at all with a lot of chinese phones, superb value for money.

Its the utter crap, completely awful bordering on illegal customer disservice from the likes of DX, gearbest and banggood that are enough to put people off, and means many like me are happy to spend 30%-40% more for a near identical spec from the likes of Amazon.

At least this is over £100, so if you pay by credit card you can shove a chargeback down their throats, never buy a £99.99 phone from them though.

I'm on the 2gb 16gb model, can you link me too the cyanogenmod? I'm on the stock miui 7 atm just not sure which one to use?

That warranty is not available in the UK.

If you're gonna be a pedant at least do it properly. You could have used quotation marks or italics, but without either your sentence looks even more nonsensical than the one you are criticising.
The grammar fuhrer will be disappointed in you.

I got the 3gb 32gb for about £10. Well worth the extra money.

Also, anyone know if these can be rooted without a computer, i.e. One click app?
