Got the Redmi Note 3 snapdragon running NitrogenOS (a cracking version of android.. I tried a few and this one runs smooth as silk with all the essential features!)
Something to note though, the MIUI OS allows you to "Never" go into sleep while charging, leaving the screen on. DON'T select this option because if you accidentally leave the screen on, while charging, the heat of both warps the plastic around the screen and you end up with a curve, like mine, which can no longer have a glass screen protector and cannot remove the sim card or memory card since its warped the port where they reside.
Still, runs great, don't notice it in daily use.. just cant leave TalkTalk anytime soon :smile:

Too big for me at 5.5". I also think from research that the Moto g5 camera is better. I'm hoping for some deals on that or the g5 plus once the g5s series drops.

been using iphone 5 since 2014, been watching this for a long time, either this or a 6s, I like iOS so much though, not sure if I'll enjoy the change.

MIUI is basically iOS - take a look at the reviews for MIUI on YouTube, I don't think you'll mind it as much as you may think
steve_bezerker to LBPMAN1
20 May 173#93
I would think carefully before switching. Android for me will always be the better system, but my sister literally doesn't understand Android and the 1 time she switched from iPhone she moaned the entire time that she 'couldn't do anything' by which she means - it didn't have iTunes, she wasn't interested in Spotify or anything which in my opinion is 1000x times more stable and easier to navigate than iTunes.
Anyway.. I would consider your options carefully before jumping in or you could spend 2 years of regret like my sister. Obviously there is every chance you'll agree that Android is leaps and bounds ahead of IOS anyway.
TheMan_Aman to LBPMAN1
20 May 17#104
Go for the 6s if you can, it's a decent phone but since you're already on iOS I suggest staying on it

Is this going to be much of an improvement on a Galaxy S5? - I'm torn what to do, been tempted loads recently by these deals... also the Lenovo P2 in the 3 shop for £199 seems good value (not in comparison to this) but as an upgrade to the S5. Thanks in advance for the input.
get a ZUK Z2 Pro instead. I've ordered one from Banggood for £211. that too the 128GB 6GB RAM version!!!

In people's experience, what are the delivery lead times like?
Midjet76 to ImyR85
19 May 17#23
I had two recently from different vendors on AliExpress, one there was a slight delay during the time NatWest had problems but the first was delivered in 12 days and the slower one was ordered on 28th April and arrived 15th May so still well chuffed.
I have unlocked the bootloader on the older one and have just managed to get it rooted. The new one will be given the same treatment tomorrow, it has to be bound to a Mi Account for 72 hours before I can unlock bootloader.
That can be a bit of a faff, but worth the wait IMHO

Mine only took 10 days to arrive from Xiaomi online store via Aliexpress.
Unfortunately and bizarrely they sent me a Zuk Z2 (which is a little more expensive) instead of the Redmi.
I'd been considering the Z2 before ordering the Redmi so you can imagine my confusion when I opened the parcel.
After a few days of back and forth messages they've acknowledged their mistake and said I can return it and they'll cover the cost or take a partial refund (amount to be confirmed).

Apparently, it can be removed as follows - you need to change the shipping country to US first, then add phone to basket & finally amend shipping address to UK just before checking out.

my sister has one, my friend too. I have a Xiaomi Redmi Pro... not of us have even a single complaint of them. awesome phones with excellent Software. MIUI is really good and very mature. built quality and features are probably up there with some of the best phones. camera is probably not the best, but considering the price... it's easily better than what you can get for phones that cost way more.

You can have 2 sim cards, or 1 sim and 1 memory card. I own this particular phone

at the expense of memory expansion
rackey12 to shoomshoom
21 May 17#192
you can either run 2 sim cards in the phone at one time or you can run 1 sim card and 1 memory card.
the second sim slot doubles as a memory card sot so you can use 1 or the other.
Was thinking about getting a Lenovo P2, is it worth the extra, or it this a better phone?

I've bought two of these phones, great vale, nearly £15 less than I paid last year; delivery times were 4 weeks for the first and 10 days for the seconds - the delays were all due to them not dispatching the first one until nearly 3 weeks after I ordered it.
I have not had ANY issues with mine, not even that overheating/screen warping someone mentioned - I do wonder if he bought a fake - as there are plenty around.
Why 2?? They arent strong enough to survive being crushed by a refuse lorry - after accidentally being thrown out with the rubbish.
The latest MIUI update for the phone also sorts out the issues with its Music app not detecting music/video stored on the SD card.
My only grump is all the Google crud now installed and non-removeable, this didnt happen with the older Note models
Willie77 to Gentle_Giant
19 May 171#60
Mate never was a truer word spoke, the Google bloat is **** ridiculous, if it wasn't for the fact I just got the phone and Playstores new certified app shenanigans that's blocking rooted/unlocked bootloader phones from finding apps like Netflix and Mario Run ect then I'd root and get **** Hangouts and all that other **** right off.

Haha. You, my friend, are a funny, funny man. I hardly think mentioning the number 12 twice, constitutes an obsession, now, does it. And, you not responding further suits me fine, as you are very boring. This is the 3rd time you've had a go at me for no real reason. I suggest you leave your phone/tablet/computer, and go outside. There are actual, real people out there to speak to. Or, in your case, speak at.

i love my 3s prime, only issue i have with it , is the poor quality camera. Is this any better?
Gentle_Giant to alasdairgray
20 May 17#105
The camera is a LOT better than on previous models, but still not top rank - but what do you expect for the money. Night photography/flash is a lot better especially.
Having said that, I suspect a lot depends on the MIUI firmware; when MIUI 7 came out, it buggered up the camera on my Note3G, focus never worked properly; come MIUI 8 (yes, they updated a 4 year old phone to the latest OS), the focus issue was fixed.

There is a hack online though where you can have 2 sims and 1 microsd card installed all at the same time. I think it involves cutting the size one of the sims down. Obviously, do it at your own risk.

I use mine for navigation and also tried Geocaching with no issues.
PhilV to LBPMAN1
20 May 17#149
Also a good point; My current phone actually has two annoying deficiencies, One being the unrelaible Fingerprint Sensor and the other being the GPS,
A bad GPS causes havoc when using the phone as a Satnav (because let's face is Waze and even Plain Google Maps are waaay ahead of TomTom etc.) - when the phone thinks your position is 10-20 metres to the left/right of where you actually are, it think you're then on a different road, keeps telling you to turn/make a u-turn.recalculates your route perpetually due to being in the wrong place, it drives you mad.
So although they may only seem like little things, they're quite important

19 May 17#79
I've recently bought one of these and can tell you that it's not a bad phone but there are several problems with the one I've got.
1. I ordered dark grey and according to the box, I got a dark grey but in reality the phone is actually in silver.
2. When on a call, the other party person has trouble hearing me unless the phone is connected to a car kit.
3. I complained to the seller and they directed me to a xiaomi website page for updates which I did and since, have had a further two OTA updates. This has not fixed the problem of the voice during calls but has left the battery life worse than before. Its gone from an impressive two days plus to less than one day.

No option for PayPal, and make sure you have the price in GBP or you will get stung for exchange rate.
Gentle_Giant
20 May 171#106
Ré DHL, you will get stung for tax EVERY time; I get low value packages from China via DHL every 4-6 weeks; even though the declared value is below the tax threshold, DHL ALWAYS* send a tax demand of ~£3.50; Ditto FEDEX, the one and only time I queried it, they followed it up with a demand for £84.
*Started just before Christmas 2015; they want payment before delivery, and if you dont pay, they delay delivery by a couple of days, while sending further demands; however they have NO paperwork to justify the charges, nor do you get a receipt if you pay - so it is a scam.

If you type into Google 'xiaomi stealing personal data' it will return many hits. xiaomi deny it but then they would I guess. what happens if you use a banking app and those secret details are stolen which leads to your account being cleared out - worrying.

Were the reviews for the regular Redmi Note 4 or the Global version/4X? Many reviews state the global version/4x is a big improvement over the Chinese version Note 4.
Having the phone myself I would say the camera is pretty decent and a good mid range performer. Definitely try it before you sell it.

That is a silly question as no built in speakers have good quality and anybody who says different doesn't know about quality, and everybody uses headsets of some description, don't they. The best sound I has from a phone was about 10 years ago from a Nokia twin speaker phone but it was not and never will be HiFi.

Hi All,
For people asking how the camera is, I took this a few days ago when it was overcast. Default camera setting on the Note 4 (No HDR or flash).
Have a trusted Windows Nokia 1020....used to have Android on Samsung Galaxy Note but hated it due to crashing...
Has android improved?
Will this phone be a vast improvement on Nokia 1020?
Does it take Micro SIM card like my 1020?
Can you get Apply music on this?
Any cases you would recommend?
Thanks in advance

Android has always been a good operating system on good hardware. Years ago many phones just never had the power to run it properly but nowadays even budget phones are powerful enough to offer decent performance.
Android on this Xiaomi phone is an excellent experience with no lag or stutter and you will actually be able to use some apps on it :-)
There are loads of cases mentioned on the various threads for this phone so just have a flick through. Buy accessories for the Redmi Note 4x as it's identical to the global version of the the Note 4.

Her previous Mi4C was always having problems keeping up even with 2Gb RAM (Snapdraon 808). This phone would be fine for anything you hit it with (metaphorically speaking).

It seems from my following of AliExpress and Banggood that all 4G phones seem to have only one sim card and one memory card at the same time, if you want two sim cards and a memory card you have to have 3G only. I have purchased several phones for friends and this has been the way it is, but 3G seems to satify them as they are mostly not prolific users of data on the move.

I think the £3.50 is the DHL price for small package delivery in the UK. I sometimes get a charge like that in Spain by Correos but a bit more if the package comes by courier but not if it comes by regular post, something to do with the way it's sorted when arriving in the country. If that is not the case I am sorry for trying to clear this up.

For everyone talking about the camera, remember photo quality is set to standard by default and you should change it to high quality (in the camera settings, click mode > gear icon)

Just looked it up on the internet and for countries when they send regular mail from their own countries mailing system to other countries have to pay terminal fees in their postal charges, so this explains why I don't get charged when it comes by regular mail but courier services are not included in this requirement and can and usually will charge termination delivery charges. Hope that clears it up.

This is way above the taxable limit, so if you use DHL, there'll be another 20% VAT + courier handling fees will almost apply (unless someone can prove otherwise).

Had mine about a week now and the battery life is unreal.
Having had a google pixel and a Motorola Moto z before they used to get 3-3.5 hours SOT max and that was just using it for reading news and scrolling through Facebook.
Took it off charge yesterday at 6am used it all day and was on 50% at midnight with 4.5 hours SOT, been playing a few games on it today an at 3pm its at 30% with 6.5 hours SOT.
I only got this because the screen died on the Moto z, but I'm glad I got this its running just as fast as my previous phones which was a huge surprise, had 2 updates already, yes the camera isn't at the pixels level and the software is not stock (Personally I prefer MIUI), but when you haven't charged it in 2 days and know you can use it all day without it dying is such a satisfying feeling

I got the 4G version frpm the Xiaomi shop on ali Express. took 9 days to arrive, tracked all the way, no duty to pay. Arrived in a sealed box. (Dropped it on to a solid floor getting it out of the box but seems fine). Set to India for updates but time, email, calendar etc all correct UK time taken from either the (Three) SIM or the relative apps. All the data from my own phone was trabsferred easily using Mi Mover. I'm pleased with it. I'm used to having good battery life as my old phone was a Huawei Ascend Mate 7

Can anyone with experience report back on how good the Fingerprint sensor is? I have another cheap chinese phone that's very good, was great value for money, but is let down by the frustrating unreliable fingerprint sensor.
If I can find something by Xiaomi with a decent sensor, that'd be a very attractive purchase.

My previous phone was Huawei Ascend Mate 7. The fingerprint sensor on that was a bit iffy. This one seems fine (or maybe the sensor is just cleaner). You can set it wihout the fingerprint though and use a grid pattern to open it

Remove the warranty (becomes £114.46), then use the £1.57 voucher offered by the seller = £112.89 in total
To remove warranty, you need to change the shipping country to US first, then add phone to basket, finally amend shipping address to UK just before checking out.

All these Xiaomi phones pickle my brain.
All I want is something with as big a screen and battery as possible for about £150. Anyone got any suggestions? I don't care about the camera, it needs to do 4G, wifi hotspot, a bit of storage would be nice.
I actually am using a Blu Life Mark I got for cheap after crushing my iphone. It is actually ok, I just want something I don't have to remember to charge every twenty mins.

Very tempted with this. Binned iPhones a couple of years ago, but recently smashed up my Huawei P9 but they want £170 to replace the screen etc. Still got 12 months left on my EE contract and not in a rush to shell out that kind of money. This would seem like a cheaper alternative that will give me similar specs.
Is it simply a case of whacking my EE SIM in it when it arrives, choosing location, then away we go, or is it more complicated than that? Am I going to be consulting YouTube videos for ever more or are they pretty user friendly for ordinary folk?

For those who have received the device could you please confirm: Is the InfraRed sensor next to the mic or in the "very middle" between the mic and headphone jack?
Reason for asking: Bought the Redmi Note 4X couple of months ago and the IR sensor is next to the mic and want to buy case for the phone listed in this deal, i.e., Note 4 Global 4GB/64GB (which I will buy for the OH).....

Thanks OP, been looking to replace my Oneplus One as desperately need a fingerprint scanner and better battery.
Went for black version for £118.38 after voucher which hopefully with quidco it'll be £108.91 which should be a result!
I can sell my Oneplus for around £100+ so breaking even on this overall. I'm not keen on getting a Oneplus 3T or 5 as can't justify spending £400+ on a phone when this will do everything I need. Only downside will be the camera but as long as it's on par with the OPO then no real loss.
Now time to go through a plethora of cases on ebay/aliexpress/gearbest/amazon - wish me luck!

No, DHL will charge you import and VAT on whatever the declared value of the parcel is, the £3.50 they keep charging me is a rip-off, as there is no government imposed tax to pay, and DHL wont give me any paperwork to say what the charge is for.
Remember, it isnt JUST the value of the item, it is the cost of postage; and if the postage is "free" they will "calculate" the cost; that is how they justified the extra £84 they billed me when I queried the £3.50; they decided the parcel would cost several hundred pounds to send via their standard service.(Parcel value at the time was £14.40 - go figure.)
Import Duty is based on value of item plus cost of postage.
VAT is based on value of item, plus cost of postage, PLUS the Import duty, so you are paying tax on a tax.
If the item is on an EU discriminatory tariff (ie, trying to protect the French), there may well be a huge percentage EU import tax to be added to each step of the above; meaning you pay a tax on a tax on a tax.
I looked at bringing an electric motorscooter back with me in 2011, the bike's showroom price in Nanning was £120, and I could get it shipped to the UK for another £100.
So £120 + £100 = £220.
+ EU Penalty duty @40% =£308
+ EU VAT @15% =£354.20
+ UK Import Duty @20% = £425.04
+ UK VAT @20% = £510.05
THIS is why electric bike and electric scooter prices are so high, when the component price would suggest they should'nt cost more than £50 more than a standard bicycle.

21 May 17#194
I think you are spreading BS as I have just put your example into the import duty calculator and the duty and vat come to £ 53 for you scooter.

I've bought a lot items from Aliexpress with no issues however all have been relatively low value (say under £45) I really like this phone but unsure on how this will play out with items over £100 with the standard shipping option.
So realistically what are the chances of being collared for VAT 20% Import duty around 5% and that horrible Royal mail fixed handling charge of say £17.
Some sellers will de-value the item but not all. So what are your experiences of higher value items with Aliexpress?

Also it is not an EU Penalty it is a WTO Anti Dumping Charge.[/quote]
I suggest you read a little further into that anti dumping claim; they sent thousands of questionnaire forms (in English), to every electric bike makers they could find in China, and when the majority of them (who dont speak/read English, or sell their products overseas), failed to reply; they used that as evidence of dumping.
On top of that, dumping means selling outside their own country and at a loss; the price they charge for these bikes to overseas customers, via international sales sites like Ali Baba is HIGHER than the price they sell them in their own country - so how can it be dumping??
eg. The bikes I saw for £120 in Nanning cost £199 + shipping* via the cheapest dealer I could find on AB; yet the cheapest and nastiest "EU" (Turkish built), electric bikes I have seen in the UK are advertised for £399.
*Shipping a few hundred of these bikes is almost nothing, at the time I was quoted £100 for a shipping container from Shanghai to Liverpool or Southampton. (via a Cannuk I know** in Guangzhou).

Not really, but this will be much better in the battery department, & being new, will feel more snappy in everyday use (if you'd like a small, but noticeable speed increase with your SN3, I'd recommend backing-up your data, texts, pics, etc, then doing a hard/factory-reset).
Your SN3 is better in these main aspects:
- Camera: photos & videos
- NFC support
- ANT+ support
- Removeable/replaceable battery
Areas where the XRN4 excels in comparison:
- Much better battery life
- Newer, more efficient, snappier OS
- Dual-SIM
- Larger microSD capacity
- FM Radio
Possibly not important but this Xiaomi does have Band 20 support for UK 4G

This listing doesn't have case or screen protector options so did you order from a previous 'Xiaomi Online Store' or 'Dreami' listing by any chance? Was wondering if anyone who ordered from Dreami has received theirs yet.
Did your case have the correct holes? Was thinking if it didn't fit properly it might have been for the original Note 4. Does it have a hole in the centre of the top edge?
I've come from being a Nexus 6 user to the Redmi Note 4 (3GB version and Global Version with SD 625 Processor), and I'm loving it.
I wouldn't bother paying for the 4GB version unless you are really some sort of power user...

Not arrived yet but for what its worth I went with these
I'm sure those links will help others out. The reason for my comment though was just to see which store they purchased it from because I posted the previous RN4 deal from Dreami. The person who I was asking, mentioned 10 days which would be before this deal was posted hence why I'm curious, since it currently seems like nobody has received theirs from Dreami yet. I asked about the case just to see if the seller had supplied an original Note 4 case by mistake and weren't aware Global Version RN4 has same housing as RN4X.

My phone was bought from Eternal Team and on the listing there was an option to buy a bundle which included a TPU case. The case is the correct one for the phone I received with all the cutouts in the right places but it's of very poor quality and fit and at a cost of about a fiver it's very poor quality. Much better available on Amazon or eBay.

It seems that for all stores, any cases or screen protectors in bundle options, are bad quality. Someone else commented here<< on a previous deal saying the one they got went into the bin. Another comment<< earlier in this thread too.

I bought mine from Xioamo Online Store on AliExpress. It was not this deal, it had few bundle options from cases, screen covers to MiBand.
The case that came with it is a very cheap 7 basic thin clear silicon case. All the cut outs are there in the right places, but the quality of the case is simply dreadful. While the cuts out are there they are poorly cut and not accurate, same with buttons.
The case does not fit in that it is not secure, it doesn't fit tightly, its loose around places and ende doesnt even cover or go over the edge.
So I would recommend not buying it with this bundle, it's rubbish and expensive. I have ordered a Bakeey gel silicone case and screen cover from banggood instead.

Hi, i just received my note today and i'm very happy, i'm just wondering if someone can do me a quick favour and answer the following question, The only thing that has stumped me is the charger (it looks like a cross between a USA charger and something else) did everyone just buy a separate charger or did you buy a UK adaptor for the charger that came in the box. (if you can link what you bought that would be great)

EU plug?
You can pretty much use any old UK USB socket plug with the supplied cable. Or get a micro USB charger. Or an EU to UK adaptor. They're widely available. The supplied plug rating is 5V 2A. If you get a plug that's rated less, it will still work but it will charge the phone slower. Something like this<< would do.

Those who have already received theirs may have noticed that swine MIUI keeps shutting down background apps and we not let them restart on boot!
Trying to give permissions to apps can also be hit and miss as it won't let you select the allow option!
Very annoying... Xiaomi need to concentrate a little more on quality of software and testing than churn out millions of phones full of software bugs!

Is Lineage classed as a custom ROM mate? With Googles new Netsafe shenanigans I fear that freedom of choice is being froze out for custom ROM users, apps like Netflix, Super Mario Run ect basically hidden from end users with rooted/unlocked bootloader/ custom ROM's and attemping to side load these apps from APK mirror sites don't work as there's self checks within some of these apps (Super Mario Run being one), scary times, disappointed in Google with this complete s#¥*e from them under the guise of DRM security.

Cheers buddy, Didn't know Nougat was available in any official guise as yet, did you need to unlock the bootloader first as detailed on the MIUI forum?
dcx_badass
2 Jun 17#304
Yeah it's been out since the end of Jan in Dev so it's pretty stable now, also nope to the bootloader unlocking, just update to latest Stable, download the dev rom to the phone, open the update app select update from package and select the update, be aware that switching from stable to dev will wipe your device. Also worth taking this opportunity to encrypt your device (it's quicker to encrypt well the phone doesn't have much on).
I will be unlocking mine though and flashing Xiaomi.eu rom though just cos.
Also my global stable didn't have a UK setting, like most on here. Global Dev added it though.

Nice phone, however be aware it has a direct line back to the Chinese...
I have been monitoring network traffic on mine, and seen repeated connections to various xiaomi.com servers, including
api.ad.xiaomi.com
sdkconfig.ad.xiaomi.com
data.mistat.xiaomi.com
and various others.
Most seem to resolve to a set of AWS IPs. The "MSA" app appears to be a source of a bunch of requests, it is a system app so cannot be disabled. This is with as many Mi services disabled as possible, and no Miaccount set up.
You may want to consider flashing your phones with something uninfected...

7 Jun 171#333
As confusing as it sounds both Redmi Note 4 and Note 4X can be either Snapdragon or Mediatek. Original Chinese Note 4 = Mediatek. Note 4 Global Version (this deal) = Snapdragon. And then Xiaomi for some reason decided to make the Chinese Note 4X 32GB = Snapdragon, but the Note 4X 64GB = Mediatek even though both the 32GB and 64GB Global Version Note 4 are Snapdragon. The official China MI site product page for Redmi Note 4X<< shows that 64GB is Mediatek. It isn't a website error either as YouTube unboxing videos confirm this variation exists and even has the updated design rather than the original Note 4 Mediatek housing. B20 is another matter to which adds more variations. Without taking into account the different ram/storage models, I think there are still 7 or 8 different Note 4/4X variants :confused:
dreadzone101
7 Jun 17#334
Further to my previous comment, it seems even the Chinese 64GB Redmi Note 4X itself can be either Snapdragon or Mediatek... There seems to be a new Snapdragon Note 4X 64GB that comes in a new light blue colour only, which is different to the Green Hatsune Miku colour.
I have mine set to India but it doesn't really matter.
This has all UK 4g bands so you should get 4g on Vodafone.

I set mine to France (being the nearest country) and that seems to have been fine so far. Only had it two days though but pleased with it all thus far. So do people recommend removing some of the Mi apps? I don't really want to go down the "flash" route as apparently I have a one year warranty so would rather keep that intact.
Jimmyboy
9 Jun 17#341
Presumably the 1 year warranty would involve you sending the phone back to China for repair? In other words no warranty.
Chuggee
9 Jun 17#342
I'm also interested in how the warranty works. If it is a China thing, might be easier if you know someone who visits the UK and China regularly, otherwise seems like a crapshoot. For a fiver you can't really go wrong though.
morty
9 Jun 17#343
The warranty is explained on the sellers page but also aliexpress offer one which they state is one year and it will be replaced it appears the locations are spain/US but most times they will issue refunds which can take a while to get
No not China thankfully, I checked with someone on their online chat before doing so. He confirmed that if I do need to send back within a year it would need to be sent to their European warehouse.

Random question but wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to connect this phone via an adapter to HDMI ?
Aliexpress sell an adapter that's supposed to work linky
But googling does not give a definite answer - anyone have any experience with this ?
dcx_badass
18 Jun 17#357
It's doable, I've done it, but you need a Displaylink compatible adapter which are normally pretty pricey as in £50-150. That might work if it supports displaylink but I doubt it does as it mentions MHL which this phone doesn't support. You could try it and let us know.
tipperman
19 Jun 17#358
Thanks for the info, for the price I may just take the chance and order the adapter from aliexpress and see what happens !
there is a PRODUCTS MODEL heading which compares 4 RN4s, including the RN4 MTK Chip MTK Helio X20 DecaCore CPU, but that's not the global version featured in the above listing which clearly states in the main title and again in the SPECIFICATIONS table at the bottom of the listing that this has the Snapdragon 625 octacore CPU. Could this be one of the newer 4GB/64GB versions you referred to which definitely has the Snapdragon CPU? If so I might go for it.
dreadzone101
19 Jun 17#361
The 32GB and 64GB Global Version Redmi Note 4 have no processor variations. Your link is a 64GB version of this deal and is Snapdragon with B20. There have been a few deals posted on hukd for it in the past. My comment is regarding the Redmi Note 4X, which is China counterpart to the Global Version RN4. It is considered that the China RN4X is essentially the Global Version RN4 without B20. My comment was just pointing out that the RN4X 32GB is Snapdragon but the RN4X 64GB can be both Snapdragon or Mediatek. If you search "Redmi Note 4X 64GB", you'll see both Mediatek and Snapdragon listings (none have B20). The Redmi Note 4X 64GB Snapdragon listings will be in light blue colour only, which is the new model I mentioned in my previous comment. However, if you search "Redmi Note 4 Global Version 64GB" they'll be 64GB of this deal like in your link (Snapdragon with B20). Lots of stores sell it and it's the one to go for if you want 64GB since there is no benefit in getting the RN4X instead.
Chuggee
19 Jun 17#362
I'd never go for the Mediatek version simply due to the lack of ROM developers for it. A custom ROM is a must if you want to use a lot more features on your phone, so Qualcomm is the way to go for now.
hotukuser2015
19 Jun 17#363
Thanks for your really useful explanation. So if I have understood you correctly its a thumbs up from you then to go for the 4GB/64GB with Band 20 as in my link ?
dreadzone101
19 Jun 17#364
Yeah I'd say that'd be the best place to get it from. It's currently the cheapest store selling it at the moment and one of the most well known too. Quite a few deals from that store have been posted here in the past. Here's a previous thread<< for the 32GB version from that store. Judging from the comments, they seem to despatch fairly quickly.
Seems like the AliExpress stores are all out of stock for Black or Grey options. So it's currently cheaper from the same store as this deal thread. Xiaomi MC Store 64GB RN4<<

Phone arrived today (shipped on the 12th and took 15 days from day of ordering which is impressive!)
really impressed with it. Black version and standard original.
in package it included a European to UK plug adapeter, screen protector and phone case, plus the phone box (all sealed and unopened) and a SIM card adapter kit.
As I didn't pay more for the case and screen protector I didn't expect them but a nice little extra! I won't be using them however as the case is rubbish and the screen protector doesn't sit properly around the edges.
phone works perfectly on Plusnet 4G. Set region to France but wasn't sure what I should pick to be honest.
All all in all very pleased and a good replacement for my iPhone 4s after 6 years of ownership!

What region did you set yours to, mine is France, would that make a diff do you think?
Seems like you can put it on air plane mode,open maps, turn air plane mode off and it works tho

Try putting your tracking number in the website linked below and see if it gives you anymore info, I think the tracking statuses are more accurate
Just replying to say that I received mine 4 days after arrival in the UK. Arrived on 20 June, came 24 June. So depending on where you live and delays it may take up to 5 days to arrive after customs.

They could get stolen too, if you don't get yours within 60 days of ordering (the date you actually paid for the order) you can open a dispute. I'd give it 2 more weeks and then file a dispute.

Well I ordered mine on 24th May. My argument with the retailer is that they should surely be able to track their end where in the world the package has been and where it is expected to go, like any company.

Something to note though, the MIUI OS allows you to "Never" go into sleep while charging, leaving the screen on. DON'T select this option because if you accidentally leave the screen on, while charging, the heat of both warps the plastic around the screen and you end up with a curve, like mine, which can no longer have a glass screen protector and cannot remove the sim card or memory card since its warped the port where they reside.
Still, runs great, don't notice it in daily use.. just cant leave TalkTalk anytime soon :smile:
Think mine took 12 days, wouldn't look back now. Fantastic phone for the money

Although this is the Snapdragon version...
I seem to have the deca core helios cpu which is a bit of a beast in comparison
Now have one on way. Cheers OP
Hot deal if it fits you though!
That's what she said... (_ :wink:
Anyway.. I would consider your options carefully before jumping in or you could spend 2 years of regret like my sister. Obviously there is every chance you'll agree that Android is leaps and bounds ahead of IOS anyway.
You may want to compare actual physical sizes here after calibrating the page with your S5: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Samsung-Galaxy-S5,Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-4,Lenovo-P2/phones/8202,10212,10404
I have unlocked the bootloader on the older one and have just managed to get it rooted. The new one will be given the same treatment tomorrow, it has to be bound to a Mi Account for 72 hours before I can unlock bootloader.
That can be a bit of a faff, but worth the wait IMHO
Think mine took 12 days, wouldn't look back now. Fantastic phone for the money
what android version is it running
I bought the redmi note prime pro 3 band 20.
Unfortunately and bizarrely they sent me a Zuk Z2 (which is a little more expensive) instead of the Redmi.
I'd been considering the Z2 before ordering the Redmi so you can imagine my confusion when I opened the parcel.
After a few days of back and forth messages they've acknowledged their mistake and said I can return it and they'll cover the cost or take a partial refund (amount to be confirmed).

Thanks in advance,
the second sim slot doubles as a memory card sot so you can use 1 or the other.
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32802373992.html#autostay
Nice one too OP. :-)
Do you know if any dual sim phone has a separate memory card slot, too?
I have not had ANY issues with mine, not even that overheating/screen warping someone mentioned - I do wonder if he bought a fake - as there are plenty around.
Why 2?? They arent strong enough to survive being crushed by a refuse lorry - after accidentally being thrown out with the rubbish.
The latest MIUI update for the phone also sorts out the issues with its Music app not detecting music/video stored on the SD card.
My only grump is all the Google crud now installed and non-removeable, this didnt happen with the older Note models

With the voucher ended up a shade over £130 for a beast of a phone
Having said that, I suspect a lot depends on the MIUI firmware; when MIUI 7 came out, it buggered up the camera on my Note3G, focus never worked properly; come MIUI 8 (yes, they updated a 4 year old phone to the latest OS), the focus issue was fixed.
And for how much also?.
Thanx. :-)

http://en.miui.com/thread-247545-1-1.html
A bad GPS causes havoc when using the phone as a Satnav (because let's face is Waze and even Plain Google Maps are waaay ahead of TomTom etc.) - when the phone thinks your position is 10-20 metres to the left/right of where you actually are, it think you're then on a different road, keeps telling you to turn/make a u-turn.recalculates your route perpetually due to being in the wrong place, it drives you mad.
So although they may only seem like little things, they're quite important
1. I ordered dark grey and according to the box, I got a dark grey but in reality the phone is actually in silver.
2. When on a call, the other party person has trouble hearing me unless the phone is connected to a car kit.
3. I complained to the seller and they directed me to a xiaomi website page for updates which I did and since, have had a further two OTA updates. This has not fixed the problem of the voice during calls but has left the battery life worse than before. Its gone from an impressive two days plus to less than one day.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imdjAqDYpz4&t=288s
No NFC
it has a curved screen.
if the latter is correct, how are the cases affecting the usage?
feedback always very welcome
*Started just before Christmas 2015; they want payment before delivery, and if you dont pay, they delay delivery by a couple of days, while sending further demands; however they have NO paperwork to justify the charges, nor do you get a receipt if you pay - so it is a scam.
A disorientated carrier pigeon just landed on my windowsill with a note addressed for you.
It read "William the conqueror would like his joke back"
Mine is in transit so I guess I won't be able to send it back, if anyone wants to buy it off me when it arrives, I'll be happy to hear from you.
Having the phone myself I would say the camera is pretty decent and a good mid range performer. Definitely try it before you sell it.
For people asking how the camera is, I took this a few days ago when it was overcast. Default camera setting on the Note 4 (No HDR or flash).

Has android improved?
Will this phone be a vast improvement on Nokia 1020?
Does it take Micro SIM card like my 1020?
Can you get Apply music on this?
Any cases you would recommend?
Thanks in advance
Android on this Xiaomi phone is an excellent experience with no lag or stutter and you will actually be able to use some apps on it :-)
There are loads of cases mentioned on the various threads for this phone so just have a flick through. Buy accessories for the Redmi Note 4x as it's identical to the global version of the the Note 4.
It seems from my following of AliExpress and Banggood that all 4G phones seem to have only one sim card and one memory card at the same time, if you want two sim cards and a memory card you have to have 3G only. I have purchased several phones for friends and this has been the way it is, but 3G seems to satify them as they are mostly not prolific users of data on the move.
Having had a google pixel and a Motorola Moto z before they used to get 3-3.5 hours SOT max and that was just using it for reading news and scrolling through Facebook.
Took it off charge yesterday at 6am used it all day and was on 50% at midnight with 4.5 hours SOT, been playing a few games on it today an at 3pm its at 30% with 6.5 hours SOT.
I only got this because the screen died on the Moto z, but I'm glad I got this its running just as fast as my previous phones which was a huge surprise, had 2 updates already, yes the camera isn't at the pixels level and the software is not stock (Personally I prefer MIUI), but when you haven't charged it in 2 days and know you can use it all day without it dying is such a satisfying feeling
If I can find something by Xiaomi with a decent sensor, that'd be a very attractive purchase.
To remove warranty, you need to change the shipping country to US first, then add phone to basket, finally amend shipping address to UK just before checking out.
- And judging by videos on youtube the finger print sensor is fast and reliable too.
All I want is something with as big a screen and battery as possible for about £150. Anyone got any suggestions? I don't care about the camera, it needs to do 4G, wifi hotspot, a bit of storage would be nice.
I actually am using a Blu Life Mark I got for cheap after crushing my iphone. It is actually ok, I just want something I don't have to remember to charge every twenty mins.
Is it simply a case of whacking my EE SIM in it when it arrives, choosing location, then away we go, or is it more complicated than that? Am I going to be consulting YouTube videos for ever more or are they pretty user friendly for ordinary folk?
Is that a big problem if I am on Vodafone - I see they do 800Mhz and 2600Mhz, or am I going to loose a load of coverage?
Reason for asking: Bought the Redmi Note 4X couple of months ago and the IR sensor is next to the mic and want to buy case for the phone listed in this deal, i.e., Note 4 Global 4GB/64GB (which I will buy for the OH).....
From this XDA thread (post #7) the pic shows different layouts.

What are the pros cons for each?
Went for black version for £118.38 after voucher which hopefully with quidco it'll be £108.91 which should be a result!
I can sell my Oneplus for around £100+ so breaking even on this overall. I'm not keen on getting a Oneplus 3T or 5 as can't justify spending £400+ on a phone when this will do everything I need. Only downside will be the camera but as long as it's on par with the OPO then no real loss.
Now time to go through a plethora of cases on ebay/aliexpress/gearbest/amazon - wish me luck!
Xiaomi Hybrid Pro (Android Settings -> Sound&Vibration has entry for this headphone/headset)
Poweramp & Xiaomi Hybrid Pro.
Also, when it happens?
I am not sure. I found out when I went outside for a break during a quiet moment in a music event. My mobile was on for quite a few hours then. It has happened twice now.
Remember, it isnt JUST the value of the item, it is the cost of postage; and if the postage is "free" they will "calculate" the cost; that is how they justified the extra £84 they billed me when I queried the £3.50; they decided the parcel would cost several hundred pounds to send via their standard service.(Parcel value at the time was £14.40 - go figure.)
Import Duty is based on value of item plus cost of postage.
VAT is based on value of item, plus cost of postage, PLUS the Import duty, so you are paying tax on a tax.
If the item is on an EU discriminatory tariff (ie, trying to protect the French), there may well be a huge percentage EU import tax to be added to each step of the above; meaning you pay a tax on a tax on a tax.
I looked at bringing an electric motorscooter back with me in 2011, the bike's showroom price in Nanning was £120, and I could get it shipped to the UK for another £100.
So £120 + £100 = £220.
+ EU Penalty duty @40% =£308
+ EU VAT @15% =£354.20
+ UK Import Duty @20% = £425.04
+ UK VAT @20% = £510.05
THIS is why electric bike and electric scooter prices are so high, when the component price would suggest they should'nt cost more than £50 more than a standard bicycle.
Seems I can only find cases that have the infrared thingy in the middle but I believe it's actually next to the mic on these phones...
So realistically what are the chances of being collared for VAT 20% Import duty around 5% and that horrible Royal mail fixed handling charge of say £17.
Some sellers will de-value the item but not all. So what are your experiences of higher value items with Aliexpress?
Thanks
I suggest you read a little further into that anti dumping claim; they sent thousands of questionnaire forms (in English), to every electric bike makers they could find in China, and when the majority of them (who dont speak/read English, or sell their products overseas), failed to reply; they used that as evidence of dumping.
On top of that, dumping means selling outside their own country and at a loss; the price they charge for these bikes to overseas customers, via international sales sites like Ali Baba is HIGHER than the price they sell them in their own country - so how can it be dumping??
eg. The bikes I saw for £120 in Nanning cost £199 + shipping* via the cheapest dealer I could find on AB; yet the cheapest and nastiest "EU" (Turkish built), electric bikes I have seen in the UK are advertised for £399.
*Shipping a few hundred of these bikes is almost nothing, at the time I was quoted £100 for a shipping container from Shanghai to Liverpool or Southampton. (via a Cannuk I know** in Guangzhou).
** Our wives went to language school together
Does it come with Chinese Apps pre-installed? If so, easy to disable / remove?
Does it come with Google Play already installed?
Thanks in advance for any watch-outs
My phone knowledge is basic, and presently can't afford an expensive phone or those in the £200+ price range. Am looking to start a food blog +cooking demo +sell food. Is this phone good enough for taking colourful photos and videoing (ytube)?

Screen is impressive, build quality too. Camera is better than I thought so I'll probably keep for now, but yet to try a night shot.
Can't seem to modify icon sizes or use widgets with muiu. Can't get rid of or hide unwanted stock apps... unless someone knows how?
Reasonably happy so far.
The phone itself is awesome. An obvious upgrade on my Note3. Better screen, better camera and better build quality.
The bundled screen protector and case are utter turd though.
Absolute bargain...
Everything you could possibly want to do with the look and feel can be achieved with Nova.
For any unwanted apps, either I deleted of stuck in a "other" folder... Hope this helps?
Thanks
Where do you need to hide apps?
I couldn't get ES file explorer to find my NAS or PC last night, is there something I need to do to enable DNLA or the phone missing that?
I was beginning to think it was a hardware issue but no.
The bug can easily occur and could be embarassing in a meeting. Did you track it down and submit it?
Your SN3 is better in these main aspects:
- Camera: photos & videos
- NFC support
- ANT+ support
- Removeable/replaceable battery
Areas where the XRN4 excels in comparison:
- Much better battery life
- Newer, more efficient, snappier OS
- Dual-SIM
- Larger microSD capacity
- FM Radio

I also went for the case + screen bundle, it is total garbage, the case doesn't even fit properly, is flimsy and offers no protetcion. The screen cover doesnt even cover the hwole screen and looks horrible. I think it was extra £6 for these two. Not worth it. Have ordered a case & full screen protector from banggood.
Did your case have the correct holes? Was thinking if it didn't fit properly it might have been for the original Note 4. Does it have a hole in the centre of the top edge?

The case that came with it is a very cheap 7 basic thin clear silicon case. All the cut outs are there in the right places, but the quality of the case is simply dreadful. While the cuts out are there they are poorly cut and not accurate, same with buttons.
The case does not fit in that it is not secure, it doesn't fit tightly, its loose around places and ende doesnt even cover or go over the edge.
So I would recommend not buying it with this bundle, it's rubbish and expensive. I have ordered a Bakeey gel silicone case and screen cover from banggood instead.
You can pretty much use any old UK USB socket plug with the supplied cable. Or get a micro USB charger. Or an EU to UK adaptor. They're widely available. The supplied plug rating is 5V 2A. If you get a plug that's rated less, it will still work but it will charge the phone slower. Something like this<< would do.
Trying to give permissions to apps can also be hit and miss as it won't let you select the allow option!
Very annoying... Xiaomi need to concentrate a little more on quality of software and testing than churn out millions of phones full of software bugs!
This fixes all issue's

Most seem to resolve to a set of AWS IPs. The "MSA" app appears to be a source of a bunch of requests, it is a system app so cannot be disabled. This is with as many Mi services disabled as possible, and no Miaccount set up.
You may want to consider flashing your phones with something uninfected...

What did everyone choose for their region upon setup seeing as UK isn't available.
I'm on Vodafone and 4G isn't showing up for me, is there a workaround for this?
On 4G: only one SIM card supports 4G at a time. If your other SIM is doing 4G, then your VF SIM will only do 2G/3G.
This has all UK 4g bands so you should get 4g on Vodafone.

Thanks all. Looks like it's made it on to the plane today after being on that status for 5 days. Exciting times! Thanks for the replies
Aliexpress sell an adapter that's supposed to work
linky
But googling does not give a definite answer - anyone have any experience with this ?
there is a PRODUCTS MODEL heading which compares 4 RN4s, including the RN4 MTK Chip MTK Helio X20 DecaCore CPU, but that's not the global version featured in the above listing which clearly states in the main title and again in the SPECIFICATIONS table at the bottom of the listing that this has the Snapdragon 625 octacore CPU. Could this be one of the newer 4GB/64GB versions you referred to which definitely has the Snapdragon CPU? If so I might go for it.
Seems like the AliExpress stores are all out of stock for Black or Grey options. So it's currently cheaper from the same store as this deal thread. Xiaomi MC Store 64GB RN4<<
Aliexpress is very good but some of the sellers are rubbish, but you don.t find out until you use them. Then the long drawn out mailings between the seller and then Aliexpress to sort things out.
really impressed with it. Black version and standard original.
in package it included a European to UK plug adapeter, screen protector and phone case, plus the phone box (all sealed and unopened) and a SIM card adapter kit.
As I didn't pay more for the case and screen protector I didn't expect them but a nice little extra! I won't be using them however as the case is rubbish and the screen protector doesn't sit properly around the edges.
phone works perfectly on Plusnet 4G. Set region to France but wasn't sure what I should pick to be honest.
All all in all very pleased and a good replacement for my iPhone 4s after 6 years of ownership!
RIP iPhone 4s you put in a good shift
Which phone do you have as you posted the same thing in Redmi Note 4 & Redmi 4X threads, they are totally different phones.
Had mine for a while, never seen a problem with google maps.

What region did you set yours to, mine is France, would that make a diff do you think?
Seems like you can put it on air plane mode,open maps, turn air plane mode off and it works tho

Just come in at the back end of this and am interested as to how the Google Assistant trick works and is installed and at what point from new, and I wonder if you could help me out pl. I've just bought a 4GB 64Gb Redmi Note 4 and I'm hoping I can do the same as you on mine when it arrives.
