Personally i'd go for the redmi note 3 special edition (band 20 supported) over this because more powerful snapdragon 650 and adreno 510 gpu but voted hot as i love xiaomi phones

I don't think you'd notice much difference in performance between the two to be honest and the 625 processor in the Note 4 is supposed to be more energy efficient. The Redmi Note 4 has a better camera though and slightly better battery performance. In fairness, there's not much in it but personally I think the Redmi Note 4 is the better bet, also taking into considerations that it will probably be supported longer than the Note 3.
I've ordered the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 this morning and looking forward to moving over to this. I currently have a Lumia 1520 having been an owner of a Lumia for the past 4 years (1520, 925, 820,710) but I've decided to finally ditch windows phone and move over to android due to Microsofts lack of support for the phone platform.

Think I'm going to get a mi5 or mi5s unless the mi6 comes out with a 2k screen which is looking unlikely

I'd recommend looking at the ZUK Z2. I have one and the other half has a Xiaomi Mi4, the Z2 is a much better built device, and much faster as it has the Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB of RAM. It has on occasion dipped to the same price level as this deal.

I was looking at the ZUK2 as well but have decided to get this device due to mixed reviews on the ZUK2. The processor in Xiaomi is sufficient for my needs and the battery is also bigger. Plus it has a bigger screen and coming from a 6" phone it suits me.

£144 I can find it for, that is tempting...

I would advise against Lenovo phones for a while. I got the K3 Note and it was great, nice software, fast. Now the screen gets ghost touches, unresponsive sometimes, so bought this instead. Lots of people have the same issue.

The ZUK Z2 (and the ZUK Z2 Pro) look great phones. Do they have the Global ROM versions? I wouldn't want a Chinese version or a Chinese version that has been flashed with a Global ROM. If the ZUK Z2 (and Pro) have been built from scratch for the UK please let me know?
Also, it's a must for me to have a phone that will have no malware/spyware, and neither the odd Chinese text appearing when using it.
Can anybody advise please? Thanks.

The ZUK's dont seem to have a microsd slot or allow use of one of the sim slots for microsd so a deal breaker for me :disappointed:
Isn't there something about these chinese phones that can cause problems with UK networks? Like the bands?

This phone seems to have all bands which are used in UK. Usually a lot of the Chinese phones do not have Band 20 which some UK network Operators use for 4G but this phone seems to have it.

Here's a review comparing the two if anybody is interested:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 vs. Redmi Note 3
Also, it's a must for me to have a phone that will have no malware/spyware, and neither the odd Chinese text appearing when using it.
Can anybody advise please? Thanks.
