New code:

4X4GSK

New code
4XK4G

they released a beta already so i would expect a full reason in the future.

Updates are not that big a deal people always think you need latest ones you do not if it does what you need then no need for updates.

Any news on whether this will get an android 7 upgrade?

Can anyone recommend cases for this?

Heeeey Buckum2, just checking in had a busy day at work + fitness drills afterward, only just settling down to check in to HUKD. yeah many thanks for the link and voucher. I quite like the look of the silver/white handset. Alas no indication on the horizon of a flash sale again.Thank you very much though

Which Android version is MiUI 8 based on, pls? Link with details please.

thanks BUCKUM2, for the clarification , appreciated.
there was nothing in your link pointing to plastic housing. The blurb in the bangood link I asked you to look at earlier alluded to their ( Bangoods) stock being full metal as opposed to 3 sided metal ( what ever that meant
Anyway thanks again for taking the trouble to come back to me

That is the same phone as far as i am aware all redmi 4 pro have full metal the redmi 4a is plastic and redmi 4x is metal where did you see in the link i sent you plastic housing will check it out tomorrow

That is the same phone as far as i am aware all redmi 4 pro have full metal the redmi 4a is plastic and redmi 4x is metal where did you see in the link i sent you plastic housing will check it out tomorrow

hello again BUCKUM2, ,
I'm still hankering after that Redmi 4 Pro , and been scratching around..
I've been thinking the one (in the link you sent me) that I missed out on had a plastic housing ? no?
Please let me know your thoughts on this one in the link below , apparently full metal jacket.
Is that correct
Thank you

Unfortunately you can't have 2 Sims and a micro SD.

Tempted by this, does it have separate sd card slot, so you can bth sims abd the sd card at the same time?

ahh I see, please keep me informed , appreciate the link, I'll keep an eye out myself, I really quite like this redmi pro prime!.
Thank you very much

Hi just checked and code has expired was for limited amount of units but if you still do want one will keep eye out this link is where i get the codes from https://www.kimovil.com/en/special/dailydeals they are daily deals and new deals appear through out the day also if you want to know anything about a particular phone if you select smartphones at the top of page you will find all the brands and models really good information give it a try

many thanks BUCKUM2 , just got back home and seen your message.
I've tried to buy with the code you recommended and it's actually putting the price up to £146.35!
Wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
Please advise.
Thank you

Awesome deal here! I have just seen its specs and they are amazing really. Great deal here too, thanks for sharing it. I am thinking about a new phone for me and it is a nice option I guess

If you still thinking about redmi 4 pro prime here is a code MMREDMI to get a silver colour one for £111.38 and here's link to it http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_607220.html?lkid=10745336

New code MM4X4G working on gold colour bringing price down to £95.47 not working on black

Not off hand but xiaomi mi 6 was rumoured to be going to have it but nope maybe the mi 6 plus when it is launched has just passed the Chinese checks so could be soon

Hello again BUCKUM2 , wondering if you know of any cheapish china phone with bluetooth 5.0 capabilities please ?
Thank you

Yes...shows 109 for me then went to confirm and it jumped in price

I got mine from Aliexpress as they were cheaper than GearBest. I'm sure gearbest is probably better with support. It's just something to be mindful of, there's no repair centres in UK, so it NEEDS to be shipped back overseas to be repaired.

showing £109 for me

Thanks....just got it working on pc...but up to 132 now and code doesn't work...ah well.

Yeah, AOL could be the problem. If you haven't one already, I'd suggest creating a new Gmail email account & trying with that: https://www.google.com/gmail/. Also, make sure to create an account you're not going to change (for a while at least), as once you register an email address with Geabest, you cannot change it. Instead, they'll ask you to open yet another account (happened to me).

Yea email address is fine. ...You think maybe AOL mail don't like them??

Are you sure you inputted your email address correctly when registering? Just one character off & you won't receive it. I'd suggest re-registering afresh & making doubly sure you enter the correct email address this time.

Also, may I ask who your ISP/email provider is? Certain domains (including Gearbest's) may be automatically restricted / banned by them.

Anyone have problems getting registered with gearbest? Keeps asking me to verify account and I try to but dont get a verification email from them? Tried loads times and nothing comes in either to inbox or spam....

ah , thanks for the clarification too.
Very helpful!!

see see , thanks very much for reverting

The pro has 2gb ram and 32gb storage while the pro prime has 3gb ram and 32gb storage and this is the best performing both are better than 4x faster soc snapdragon 625

not got this phone but got xiaomi redmi note 3 just tried it on this and it got green tick for ant capable then under that built-in ANT detected yes then under that USB On the go spport yes dont see why this xiaomi model would be different from redmi note 3 hope this helps

also you seem quite clued up on these phones!
just wondering what is the difference between the redmi 4 pro and the redmi 4 pro prime & this 4x in terms of performance .
I'm on virgin mobile so hopefully this band 20 palaver doesn't affect me .
I really would like a 5". is the proprime the best performance handset?
Thanks in advance

thanks for the clarification , I'd like to buy this phone but wondering if it will connect with my ANT+ heartrate monitor..Some phones support connecting to Non Bluetooth (ANT+) devices .The only way to determine this is to run a test app ANT+ Tester test G'play app , to see if the phone supports this feature
Before
I commit I just want to check if this handset's chipset will play
nice with my ANT+ sports peripheral devices ( heart rate monitors and
powermeters)

Would you kindly run the app and let me know the results
Many thanks

normally if you flash the phone it will void any warranty anyway claim off your credit card if you used one probably best chance

Who did you buy off

with these international purchases how does the credit card protection work then

I daily a Xiaomi RedMi Note 3. The device itself is quite good for the price you pay. I personally am not a fan of MIUI and flashed Lineage OS over that.

About 3 months ago my USB connection to PCs broke (Hardware fault), but the phone would charge fine. As the phone was still under warranty, I initiated this process and ran into hell with Xiaomi support... I had to contact the originally person I purchased from, who wouldn't respond. Xiaomi offered no support on this either. In the end, I gave up and just use a phone that cannot transfer files via usb.

If you're planning on buying a xiaomi, just be warned that they don't have good support/warranty.

Stuck an O2 SIM card in again and this time Band 20 worked. I was in the same location as last night when it didn't work. Weird!

Also if you set the region to Singapore on the 8.2.1.0 MAMMIEA ROM, the phone will then update to 8.2.9.0 using OTA.

I have this phone and it's excellent. Has band 20 support too I can confirm.

recently bought the 64gb version from a Dublin based seller. here in 4 days. LOVE it!! x

The link you posted but it then found it. Trying to work out what band Vodafone are using in my area

what link are on about and are you trying to find out what band vodaphone is using or what band redmi 4 pro uses

Thanks tried it and it cannot tell me what band is being used. Tried following that link but just takes me back to this site

Try LTE DISCOVERY APP off play store have a look at this expand the first picture and it is showing what band and signal strength link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=en_GB not tried myself let us know how you get on

Get the app LTE discovery from the play store.

Is there a way to find out what band an operator uses in your area, I ask as I am on Vodafone and get 4g in nearly all of the area I live and work in I would like to get the redmi 4p pro but want to find out if it's band 20 or band 3

Anyone have problems getting registered with gearbest? Keeps asking me to verify account and I try to but dont get a verification email from them? Tried loads times and nothing comes in either to inbox or spam....

this is just about riskable coming from china snail mail so im hot wouldnt risk much more than 100 pounds :smirk:

you can get official 8.2.9.0 here http://en.miui.com/download-323.html#475 just something that might work for getting ota on a xiaomi mi5 thread people on there weren't getting ota updates and what they done was to change the locale setting to India and they then had the OTA update pop up in notifications could be worth a try before manually updating you can reset the locale after update if need to

Thanks just bought - even cheaper if buying with Halifax clarity card in dollars (near perfect exchange rate). Cost me £93.42

It would take more troubleshooting to pinpoint the problem but I doubt it's to do with B20. Not working on O2 4G suggesting lack of B20 seems more like a false positive as it should have it. If 3G doesn't work either, then perhaps APN settings. If 3G does work, then maybe the "Prefer network type" setting may help. Another member mentioned here<< that a deselect and reselect of "Prefer LTE" helped with their Global Version Note 4. In a previous comment, I mentioned someone else had an issue with data on 3 SIM on a Redmi 3S. They couldn't get data at all regardless of the phone's band support and their previous phone was iPhone in which it still worked, so it might be that the SIM is somehow tied to their iPhone.

Get it from miui.com. Latest for this phone is V8.2.9.0.MAMMIEA (MIUI8).

That's what i have been waited for !!! heat

I have two of these phones in the house; I too would like to know if there's a software check that can be run to test if B20 exists.
One of mine arrived on 8.2.1.0 MAMMIEA and has a bug where the sim will not register for up to 20 minutes after a reboot. It's been logged with Xiaomi but am waiting on an OTA update.
@WhiteishNoise - do you have the same bug on yours or is mine a phone fault rather than a ROM fault, I wonder?

I'm thinking of manually flashing 8.2.9.0 but wasn't sure where to get an official ROM for it - there are *so* many links

Outside of the small bugs; I'm impressed with the handset. Had to get non tempered glass screen protectors for them because the edge of the screen protectors interfered with the scrolling.

So what do you think is whiteishnoise's problem i was concerned that i had posted a incorrect deal and people may purchase a non band 20 phone but am quite happy now my posted deal is correct after your information

See this thread<< for when Redmi 4A Global Version was first noticed. If you read the comments, some people are saying it is a fake ROM, because the Global ROM is not released yet. You'll also find threads for Redmi 4X Global Version with similar comments about the ROM. See here<< and also here<< but like for the Redmi 4A, the replies saying fake are user deductions based on what is available on MIUI downloads. If you want to believe it is vendor ROM you'll find comments that agree with it, but that is inconclusive. In terms of identifying unofficial or official ROM, the build number format and letter code suggests it is official. Plus it is sealed with this ROM installed.

They haven't mentioned whether the ROM version they've stated is the only one they can get, or if they've even tried OTA update. However on this previous Redmi Note 4 thread<< people stated being able to update to different ROM versions. At the time MIUI downloads showed 8.1.5.0 as the latest but people were getting beyond that. It wasn't until weeks later that MIUI website finally updated to having 8.2.5.0, skipping past the intermediate iterations that others had been getting so the ROM version that MIUI downloads shows can't always necessarily be used to make deductions about whether the current ROM is unofficial or not.

I doubt it's a 2nd SIM slot related issue. They should be aware of being unable to access 4G simultaneously. They asked about it on the thread I mentioned in my previous reply. Comment here<<

Any NFC on this handset?

"The Code you entered has expired"

New code F4X4G working just tried it brings phone down to £95.47

Having seen that i tend to agree with you but why hasn't he had ota to 8.2.9.0 in this thread post 35 says his phone came with 8.2.0.2 and he got update to 8.2.9.0 strange also with regard to iphone sim am i right in thinking that if you got 2 sims in phone only one can access 4g if i am i wonder if he put the iphone sim in with his so 2 sims and his sim was set to 4g then the iphone sim would only be 3g i might be wrong what do you think

Good price but personally I'd spend the extra £20'ish for the 4 Pro ... no band 20 but better CPU and 1080p screen instead of 720p.

The SIM came from an iPhone. I checked in the Field Test Mode that the iPhone was on Band 20.

How can you check if your phone has band 20? I have a redmi 3s prime global edition and do get 4g on BT Mobile, but no idea if my phone actually supports band 20 or not for sure. Is there an app or a way to check available bands on your phone?

I think that is a vendor custom rom the official rom should be 8.2.9.0 MAMMIEA here is link to official download site http://en.miui.com/download-323.html#475 how long have you had the phone

8.2.1.0 MAMMIEA

O2 3g use 2100 or 900 so 3g should work

Have you got O2 4g signal where you live i have O2 sim but no 4g signal where i live got all the other uk 4g bands in my area but it doesn't bother me

Was the box sealed? Does O2 3G work on the 4X and have you tested that the SIM gets 4G with another phone?
Check Official Indonesia MI stite Redmi 4X spec page which says B20:
http://www.mi.com/id/redmi4x/specs/
The Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore MI sites have the Redmi 4A, 4X and Note 4 as having B20. These are the 3 Xiaomi phones that have a 'Global Version' with red tag. So if yours is the 4X Global Version, it should have B20.

what rom is on your phone the correct official global rom is 8.2.9.0 MAMMIEA

Mine has all that and still no B20. Tested with O2 4G SIM.

You will be able to distinguish the Band 20 version without EAN. The B20 "Global Version" will have a red "Global Version" tag like this:

Also the side and back will be in English text and have CE certification. If it's China version, it'll have no red tag and Chinese text.

Have you got an EAN for the Band 20 version? I bought mine from a seller advertising it as Global with Band 20 and I'm currently in a dispute.

There is a 4X with Band 20. The problem is sellers list the band 20 one as Global version, and the none Band 20 but with the Global software as 'Global Rom', easy to buy the wrong one if you don't watch out.

All i can think is that whoever you bought that off have sent you the wrong version there are 4 variants of redmi 4x they are explained here link https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-4x now if you highlight the first one you 2gb / 16gb and look at the 4g bands supported there is no band 20 800mghz then highlight the next one 3gb /32gb there also is no band 20 800mghz then highlight the next one 3gb / 32gb GLOBAL you will see there is band 20 800mghz then highlight the last one 4gb / 64gb there is no band 20 800mghz so i think whoever you purchased yours off have supplied you with the wrong variant if they said it was global

I'm posting this from a Xiaomi Redmi 4X Global and it doesn't have Band 20.

There's no Band 20 version of this phone as far as I know. I think it's a mistake in the description.

thanks for the tip ,
now justy wondering any chance you or anyone could kindly install and run this ANT+ Tester test G'play app ,
Before I commit I just want to check if this handset's chipset will play nice with my ANT+ sports peripheral devices ( heart rate monitors and powermeters)
Kindly post a screen shot if you will of the ANT Tester results
Many thanks

Really like the look of this phone, but unsure on the camera. I use mine a lot (Sony Z5C), not sure how this will compare?

Thanks Buckum2 for clarifying that band 20 thing. I do have it on the Doogee but unfortunately where I live can't even get 3G signal!! but when I'm on the move its an important feature for me and I don't suppose my phone is sporting a snapdragon processor so it would be a good upgrade.

code has expired was for limited amount of units keep checking if you are after one of these as it may become active again
you can get gold colour for £100.54 without warranty or £105.57 with warranty here link https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Global-Version-Xiaomi-Redmi-4X-4-X-PRO-Smartphone-3GB-32GB-5-0-HD-Screen-Snapdragon/32800289027.html?aff_platform=data-feeds&cpt=1496237443045&sk=JYJQJYByj&aff_trace_key=c666fd95b8f84d74a62959d40917e137-1496237443045-06375-JYJQJYByj

this or the redmi 4 pro? can any say what's the difference other than size....tempted as the battery on my doogee f3 pro is awful. I do prefer the 5" size though.

I caved in and bought the redmi 4 pro today...comes in about £111 with tcb(and assuming it gets through)

4x has a faster soc snapdragon 435 as opposed to 4a snapdraggon 425 as well as extra 1gb ram and a fingerprint scanner

Can anyone recommend this handset / retailer pls

Is the difference between the 4X & the 4A the extra 1gb ram?
