This is the long awaited global version. Now at an excellent price.
Band 20 included so will work on o2 and all u.k. 4g bands!

Banggood is a good-bang for your buck and have been around for years.
No need to select a special shipping options and best of all YOU CAN USE PAYPAL.
Overall a steal at this price.
P.S. Don't forget cash back @ approx 6%
Makes this phone delivered for about £81.50!

Don't shout about it too much, they are the people we need to keep the economy going, presuming they over pay for everything they buy, economy would die tomorrow if it relied on us lot on here..

what do you mean foreign phone? every single phone is foreign,becuase UK makes no phone..but if you mean having standard firmware and google play store and be compatible in this country, yes "GLOBAL" means they have google play store and they are fully compatible with UK networks.they are factory made like this, hence why title says "global" version.

So not only do you lie about non B20 phones working only in China but also that a Chinese marketplace that supplies to a worldwide audience, is only good for China. Alibaba Group, the parent company of Aliexpress, "is the world's largest retailer as of April 2016, with operations in over 190 countries, as well as one of the largest Internet companies". The main Alibaba marketplace used in China is not Aliexpress. It is Taobao. The fact that Aliexpress has language and currency options must totally mean it "is only good for China". You slated Gearbest non stop yet posted a deal for them a few days ago. You criticised Chinese retailers in general for lack of UK support and warranty yet posted a Banggood deal last week. You kept saying how Oneplus 3 cut corners and was inferior on your eGlobalcentral Asus thread yet ended up buying a Oneplus 3. Just a few examples of how meaningless and baseless your opinions are. Also you should read about PayPal before claiming "PayPal is in UK"...
P.S. I'm still waiting for you to provide even a single link to prove your statement on your Gearbest thread, that I only post phones without B20.

Started thinking about replacing my Blackberry Passport. The Mi Mix caught my attention - are Xiaomi decent phones?

These safe being foreign? Forgive me but I've never bought a foreign phone before. Need Google store and a pretty vanilla experience, no spyware, useless unremovable apps etc. How do these hold up?
Thanks for any replies.

Well, they run MIUI8, which is a heavily modified version of Android Marshmallow. So some things such as moving apps to SD and SD 'adoptable storage' have been removed.
Some good things about it - I like the "second space" feature (similar to different users on a Windows PC where the screen layouts and apps can be completely separate).
It's definitely not vanilla Android that's for sure, but I'm used to it now and like it (I have a Redmi 3s)

As long as you buy quality items with a good reputation, you will be reasonably safe.
