I'm getting £107.16 for the Gold one...

I'm looking for a dual sim phone around this price and getting confused with all the different models

There are a lot of security concerns with Chinese smartphones. I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. Especially with banking apps.

Just install malware bytes and kaspersky. If there is anything untoward, they will find it.

It is generally recommended that you flash the installed ROM with a clean install of MIUI. MIUI is an open community driven version of Android, and one of the most popular Android ROMs around. If there was baked in hidden spyware, the Internet would be all over it by now..

It's easy to do and takes a few minutes. (well I say easy, you have to be competent enough to follow a few steps. So that rules out some of you. This isn't a device for Apple owners.).

Sure, maybe the Chinese government bakes in some spyware into the hardware, I'm fairly confident the geeks will notice this and it's kinda Tin Foil Hat territory to me. The moment it was discovered China's export market would fall off a cliff.

For what it's worth, I've had mine for 6 months and my bank account hasn't been raided. ymmv ;-)

You seriously trust any (android) phone with banking?

Are you aware how buggy/insecure android has proven? Here's the latest problem: http://www.zdnet.com/article/quadrooter-security-flaws-affect-over-900-million-android-phones/

I have the Redmi 3S and it's great for everyday use. I'd never touch banking on a phone with a bargepole. A patched Win 10 installation or Linux is your best bet for internet banking.

Taxes make these much less desirable. you end up paying the same as you'd pay for a Moto G4, LG G3 or a second hand Nexus 5X.

Just doesn't seem worth it.

From what I understand, if you go for standard postage then the chances of being hit for taxes etc is v.v.low. It's when you go for DHL etc that you get hit.

I would argue you still get more bang for buck this way. I'm not sure I'd want a second hand phone with a worn out unchangeable battery. But each to their own.

No Western phones come close in spec for this price but the real winner in the battery.

I can't big up the battery enough. I went from charging my old phone (a Nexus actually!!) twice a day to now charging it every three days. I used to go out and have to switch my phone off because I wanted to save power in case I really needed it. Now I can go out watch a film on the train, take photos, upload them, etc, etc. And still have more than half my battery life left.

I could never go back.

Consumers should be demanding batteries of this size as standard, Xiamoi managed to fit one in...

I have to say it again. The battery life is stunning and I would pay £200 quid for that. (I paid £130 inc tax for my R3).

Are there any other phones in this price bracket that are worth looking at? Would like one with a decent camera and stable software. Xiaomi seem to be about as good as it gets when it comes to these Chinese phones...

TCB @ 6.3% + I think if you sign up as a new customer you get another discount. These were going for sub £100 yesterday.

I guess my issue with that is that in 30-40 days I'll have seen a better deal pop up and I'll have buyers remorse :smile:

True.

Then again, it's pretty amazing what can be bought these days for ~£100. The one thing counting against this phone for me is the lack of fast charging. The Redmi 3 Pro does have fast charging though....
