Free gift (Tronsmart Quick Charge 2.0 30W 2 Ports USB Rapid Car Charger + 3FT USB to Micro USB Cable) is added when you add the phone to your basket. The phone is delivered within 2-7 days according to the website. It comes from their European warehouse so no customs charges. The phone will most likely come with Geekbuying own multilanguage ROM installed so if you want OTA updates you would have to flash it with Global ROM. Alternatively you can order the version with Global Rom but it comes without the free car charger. Unlike many chinese phones it supports NFC. You can get it cheaper from chinese websites but its a good price for quick, hassle-free(no customs)delivery + free Quick car charger.

bloody good phone, just shame about no SD card. 32gb is not a lot nowadays. I am deciding between this and honor 8.

Aww no I didn't know it had no sd card slot. It's got dual sim so I thought one of them slots can be used for a sd card? Or am I wrong??

Mi5s can be got for 30 quid more - these are very tempting!

That is correct.
Can anyone confirm if this is an international edition that supports all of the 4G bands? Also, what about the rom? It's not one full of bloat/malware is it :disappointed:
I received my 64GB mi max from geekbuying recently having tried a redmi note 3 Pro. Very pleased so far, since purchased another redmi note 3 SE for my daughter to replace her faulty smart ultra 6.

The issue with geekbuying is that they'll accept your order whether they have stock or not, and if they have no stock you're just left waiting till they find some stock.
I ordered my 32gb Mi Max from Aliexpress early December, £134 delivered in 21 days standard delivery, potential 10% quidco as well - but don't hold out much hope for the cashback.

I bought the mi max 2 weeks ago and it's amazing. Huge battery, very quick phone even with multiple apps open. Go for it, you won't regret it.

Just install the Lineage custom rom.
No international version of this, it misses the band for 4G that O2 use (possibly band 20 off the top of my head.)

There is no version that supports band 20. I would go for a version that is advertised as 'Official Global Rom' As you're going to get a clean version that will receive updates OTA.

Although if you're going to install a custom rom get whichever is cheaper.
I'd recommend installing a rom by the way, MIUI is horrible.
