Lower priced than the current GearBest deal and will probably ship much faster.
Also includes 12 month UK warranty.
This price is for the gold version but the other colours are available for a slightly higher price.

With the exception of GiffGaff, I honestly can't understand why anyone would still be using O2 in 2016.

Worth noting this version isn't compatible with O2 4G or any of it's MVNOs (giffgaff, Tesco, etc).

Or also the 800mhz (band 20) 4G that Three use for their "Supervoice" and some data.

What's wrong with o2?
I can't get a 4G signal with anyone else in my house.

Their ridiculously overpriced and their customer service is poo. That's just two reasons from the top of my head.

No worse than EE CS. at least o2 don't charge you to speak to someone in less than an hour.
Plus, o2 priority rewards are brilliant use for some. Skipping queues at gigs is a huge bonus :smiley:

CS is poo from all of them. I don't think there's much difference between any of them. They are all more interested in profit margins than reinvesting in infrastructure.

absolutely brilliant phone. got the 32gb version to replace my galaxy note 2 about 6 months ago. No regrets at all.everything works perfect. Best thing battery last me about 3 days.

I notice they list this phone as pro prime, they've definitely made prime models in the past, but not seen a pro prime model, is it the correct name for the phone or one that isn't yet listed on device specifications? This is the closest spec I can find and might be the same phone >
As far as I know, there's no such thing as the pro prime, it's just what some folk call the 32Gb/3Gb version. It makes no mention of pro prime on the xiaomi website, it just mentions that 2 versions are available.

I get 80Mb/40Mb 4G connection from EE on my phone and I live in a sh:tty lincolnshire town, I also have EE Broadband which is 40Mb/20Mb and they upped my 4G 4GB data allowance on my mobile to 10GB a month because I moved from Sky Broadband to EE broadband, so far couldn't be happier with EE.

I have the 32gb/3gb ram version in gold. Running Xiaomi Developer Global Rom - its bootloader unlocked and I have TWRP installed.
Phone is stable and I get 2 or 3 days battery life. It's fast and sleek - all round really happy with it. Only gripe is the camera could be better.
I like MIUI 8 but some may prefer vanilla Android in Cyanogen Mod or Resurrection Remix.

I changed the ROM on mine to global when I got it but the bootloader is still unlocked, do you know how to lock it again? I need to install an app for work's emails but it wont work with the bootloader unlocked....!
And completely agree, the camera isn't fantastic, althoug I use the Snapseed app to post process a lot of my pics and it works wonders

Not had any issues using mine for calls/data on 3UK in the few months I've had it. I don't think band 20 (800MHz) is a necessity unless you're trying to use 3's VoLTE HD calling "supervoice". Can't say anything for other networks.
Also Android Nougat has been ported to this and its almost completely stable.

That is why there is no UK warranty, does not work correctly with UK networks , may come with viruses already installed.

Getting back to the original thread, the phone itself is great, but this is not a great price.
Get the "enhanced" version if you Band 20 / O2 LTE compatibility.
Go for the Global ROM version, unless you're comfortable installing your own ROM.
3gb/32gb over the 2gb/16gb
Just because, I am telling the truth, I am trolling. You are selling Chinese rubbish here. If it was a decent phone, from a UK seller, I would had no problem voting it hot. But messing people around by selling foreign rubbish is just plain greed.
There are decent Samsung, LG, One plus, Huawei, HTC phones which are made for UK and come with manufacturers warranty. IPhone is expensive but comes with warranty and peace of mind as well. No need to waste time messing around with viruses and Chinese roms or banking apps not working.

You can run into viruses and app compatibility issues on any of the devices that you just mentioned.
Incidentally I once had an iPhone but it was bricked by an official iOS update. It wasn't even a week out of warranty and Apple wanted £260 to fix it. Where was the peace of mind that you mentioned then?

Yep, chinese phones come with descriptions like this (taken from the very page you linked to):
"Metal Texture with Original Feeling
It looks so beautiful!
You should feel it in your hand."
"Offering all what we have craved for."
"Display

1920x1080,403PPI
Supporting sun display,you can see image clearly under strong sunlight
Supporting night display"
"Touching Camera and Wonderful Trop"
"MIUI 8
Beautiful new system for beautiful
new samrt phone"
"Declaration:We will declare it as a lower price, but it is also necessary for you to pay tax if needed, we are not responsible for custom duty tax

Went for the Mi Max for 148 via Geekbuying over this, just seems like extra phone for the money
However this is a fantastic deal for those who want a smaller than 6' screen, but still with good specs at dirt cheap
I would personally invest in the extra RAM and storage for a little more, get the 3GB, but that is more money, of course
Thanks OP, I was sorely tempted :smiley:

Just off hand, how do you find it? is it cumbersome, and do you think it is a worthy upgrade on an LG G3?
Idk if anyone mentioned it, but faster shipping (ie. not standard) will most likely accrue fees/taxes of around 20%, so careful
