I am on the lookout for a Redmi Note 3 and came across this on Gearbest.
Note that this is the international version (they call it Overseas Edition) however it has 2GB RAM.

It can make phone calls and stuff.

I've been using the 32GB/3GB version for a few weeks now and I can't recommend it highly enough. I immediately stuck CM13 on it and it's been flawless, does everything I want it to, completely lag-free experience. These cheap Chinese phones are a game changer, anyone who is still spending over £200 on a smart phone is playing a mug's game.

Note that overseas edition is slightly bigger than the rest of Redmi note 3 phones and finding a cover is not the easiest task, from what I have read.

Will agree with that; chopped the standard case a little and then put double sided tape in there to anchor the phone. Not elegant, but works (already had the case).

The difference between this and the standard version is this supports all UK 4g bands

I've bought this phone, having serious problems with the microphone, I've searched the Internet and it suggest the microphone is switching from primary to secondary mic. There isn't a solution to date I can find to fix this. Nightmare. Otherwise it is a great piece of kit.

Easy to fix. It's a bug. Just record some video in portrait.

Reading reviews the reliability and updating it looks a bit squiffy.
Really interested in getting a import mobile when I feel the need for a new mobile too.

Cant agree more! everyone in the office laughed when my 'Cheap chinese phone' turned up (Xiaomi mi5) but they are now very impressed, take much better pictures than my widfes iphone 6 and is as fast as you like.
I took put CM13 on the other week now its official however have gone back to miui.for two reasons.1. I muhc prefer the notification panel. 2(the main reason) native one handed mode. Found it hard to cope without it. Its such a handy and well though out feature.

How easy is it to root the phone and put custom rom? I've got a redmi 3 pro (not note 3) and I heard from a few forums you need a approval code from xiaomi before you can install custom rom. I've got the approval code few months back but I'm not tempted to root the phone just yet.

I don't like gearbest. last time I ordered they took my money, and said it was in stock, but a month later and no despatch. got a refund, no issue, and ordered with banggood sent out next day.
I guess if they have stock you'll have no issue
