You warned about AliExpress because you received a defective phone but you did not mention which store you purchased from. AliExpress are a marketplace. Was the phone you purchased from the exact same store as this deal? If not, how is your experience "somewhat prophetic" of AliExpress when they are neither in charge of shipping items sold by the countless different stores, nor have control over the prices which the sellers set?

Can I use this as a sat nav (will screen move properly? I have moto g4 that doesn't)? Also will banking apps work?

I use Natwest and Halifax banking apps on my Xiaomi Note Pro 3 no problem, I don't know about other banking apps.

wpj to TheDobbus

1 Jul 17 1 #35

Tried mine as sat nav yesterday using "here". Worked fine except the screen did not rotate to landscape (as it does with my K3 Note). Similarly, can't get it to rotate/expand with text messages. Maybe it's something in the settings, of which there are a lot-

Ooops, just checked an auto-rotate was now off, for some reason............

doea it have gorilla glass? cannot see it in the specs

LadyEleanor

1 Jul 17 #24

It has Qualcomms first low power chipset ( their 28nm ones were seemingly the cheapest 28nm available).
Plus that battery makes it a 3 day phone!

Not a P2 but also not £200!

Why is this in the specs in the OP?

Xiaomi Model: Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm 3GB 32GB

Sweat not, I copied it from another deal and that was the 3gb/32gb version. Thought I'd corrected it. Will do now.

1 Jul 17 #28

Buy the Vernee Apollo X instead. Got mine for £110 from Gearbest within 10 days from China. Not quite as good battery 3600mah, but lasts around 2 days with moderate use.
It has 6gb ram and is Deca-core so very quick and functions, display etc is excellent.

bellboys to surely1966

1 Jul 17 #36

All the reviews state 4GB RAM? A good deal for the spec (although I avoid MTK processors after having major sat nav problems in my elephone p6000) but when it comes to reputable/major brands Xiaomi is right up there and not sure that you can say the same about Vernee. If it was cheaper than the Xiaomi then OK...but it isn't.

Recently bought the 32gb black from this seller. Arrived after just under 2 weeks and no customs charges. Came with a screen protector which fits OK and a silicon case which I've now replaced with a nilikin one from gearbest.

Maps, satnav and banking apps all working fine. Wasn't keen on miui so chucked nova on it and really happy with the phone overall. Paid 10 quid more than this deal as well so this is definitely hot!

Sure, it's Marshmallow and the screen isn't gorilla glass.

bellboys

1 Jul 17 1 #38

definitely doesn't have Gorilla glass, don't think any Xiaomi's do. But when you can get a perfectly decent tempered glass screen for peanuts it's not a huge drawback (in fact I've always used a tempered glass protector on my Gorilla-glassed phones as Gorilla glass is scratch proof-ish but can shatter like non-Gorilla glass screens.

Any recommendations on the correct tempered glass screen protector? Mine has a non-sticking border all around. The Nilkin ones are said to be a smaller size to compensate for the curvature of the glass. Seen others which cover the whole thing (Ace brand on ebay).

dwl99

1 Jul 17 #46

I don't recommend getting a tempered glass screen protector - the screen edges are rounded and you will end up with a horriffic "halo" effect all the way round. I ended up chucking mine away.

BEWARE Ali-Express. I bought near identical phone two months ago as posted on HotUKDeals... Phone defective and should never have left the factory! Near 5 hours spent communicating with uncooperative Ali Express 'Customer Services' who have done nothing to resolve the problem. I'm now £120 out of pocket. It is impossible to contact senior managers or escalate a complaint. Because this is not a UK business there is no way of getting a refund because there is no consumer protection in the event of a problem.

bellboys

1 Jul 17 1 #49

You won't see it if used in conjunction with a case! I always use MOFI flip cases as they have impregnated steel in the flip for extra screen protection. I certainly wouldn't use a Xiaomi without using tempered glass.

bellboys

1 Jul 17 2 #54

Probably not lol. I think when buying from China you have to accept there's no effective warranty and weigh up the cost/spec ratio. This certainly blows out of the water any mobile from a mainstream uk mobile company. How much is a warranty worth to you is the only question you need to answer...

RiverDragon8

1 Jul 17 2 #64

From all the reviews I've seen on Youtube this phone isn't much of an upgrade from your Note Pro 3 (that's the general consensus). I would buy this phone IF I didn't have the Note Pro 3 at this price.

RiverDragon8

If I already owned a Note Pro 3 I wouldn't personally buy this phone. I would 100% buy this phone otherwise. Basically Xiaomi should've stuck a SD652 cpu in it and made improvements on the 16MP camera (everyone's biggest gripe). Then logically that would've been my next phone.

bellboys

1 Jul 17 #92

You could probably get 50 quid for the 3 Pro then it's a matter of 60 quid for the double RAM and quadrupled internal memory. I doubt there would be much difference in everyday speed.

RiverDragon8

1 Jul 17 #93

I got the 3GB/32GB version so this phone isn't much of an upgrade for me (I can sell it now for £120). I'm going to wait for someone to post up a Xiaomi phone with a SD820.

I tend to agree with that. It's obviously a conscious decision as I guess exported sales of their flagships are dwarfed by the likes of the Redmi/Redmi Note series...

Seems my alert re Ali-Express' reputation was somewhat prophetic. Note to those tempted to order elsewhere, given this deal isn't being honoured. You will get Credit Card protection if you order direct from the supplier rather a than Ali Express. This time it was just a pricing error - next time it maybe a faulty phone and no money back, as it was in my case.

Section 75 of The Credit Card Legislation DOES NOT cover you! Like Amazon, Ali Express is a Market Place i.e. it is a 3rd party and Credit Card Legislation excludes them (Yes that means Amazon too) from the protection. Few people know this. Read this so you know ....

runfast

1 Jul 17 #122

You pay Ali-Express as an intermediary, regardless of the store. They take their cut and pass on rest on to the supplier. The complaints process is with Ali-Express (not the supplier) as you paid them. So it really doesn't matter much which 'store/supplier' in the market place you use. In a way, you put you're finger on the crucial issue when you said Ali Express have 'no control',in this case over the shipping or prices.

damadgeruk

1 Jul 17 #123

I get that you are trying to help though you omitted marketplace with regards to Amazon as direct Amazon sales are covered...
Amazon is another firm where Section 75 may not apply. Shoppers who buy items on a credit card from third-party suppliers on the online marketplace will not be covered. If you buy directly from Amazon then you could make a claim.
I've yet to experience aliexpress issues though issues exist with all suppliers.

So then do you think eBay also have a "crucial issue" because they also neither ship or price items? Your comments about AliExpress due your experience would be like complaining about eBay because a seller sent you a faulty item and then confirming your views about eBay because a different seller mispriced their listing. "Xiaomi Online Store" are one of the most well known of all the Xiaomi sellers on AliExpress. They have been posted lots of times in the past on HUKD and many members have bought and received phones from them without any issues. But you're implying your experience of buying a different phone from a (different?) seller must be more indicative of what people will experience if buying from this store or using AliExpress in general? How does which store/supplier not matter? If you bought from eBay from a seller with <100 feedback thats <80% positive and got stung, would you warn people about buying from eBay regardless of seller?

Guessing you don't spend much time here, pricing errors occur frequently large UK companies. Xiaomi do not sell directly through aliexpress, xiaomi online store is not an official outlet. Price for this looked like a misprice from the outset, I believe it will do the seller more harm than good. I've yet to cancel my order for two phones, hoping for a better offer. :smiley:

2 Jul 17 #136

You are correct that if Amazon supply the item it is covered by Section 75 re Credit Card Purchases, if it's an affiliate supplier it most likely is not. Another significant difference is you are dealing with Amazon UK and UK companies so you have consumer protection rights i.e. 'Sale of Goods Act' . With Chinese companies like Ali Express you don't. I am simply trying to be helpful by pointing out an important area which few understand or appreciate until something goes wrong.

2 Jul 17 #139

Your issue is related to what happens if something goes wrong yet in your earlier message, you said: "This time it was just a pricing error - next time it maybe a faulty phone and no money back, as it was in my case". It seems like you're implying that because you received a defective phone and there was a misprice for a phone from a different seller, that anyone buying from AliExpress regardless of the seller, will face issues. You said "I am simply trying to be helpful by pointing out an important area which few understand or appreciate until something goes wrong." but it looks more like you've created an account specifically to prevent people from using AliExpress and have suggested that a misprice from a different seller means your criticism is correct and because of it, what happened to you might happen to others which to me just seems like confirmation bias and cynicism.

You say I am implying 'anyone buying from AliExpress regardless of the seller, will face issues'. I have not implied that at all. I am highlighting the differences of buying from a Chinese or other marketplace if issues arise. In fact I said many have a positive experience of buying. Many believe they have some protection if they buy by credit card. I have simply pointed out why that is not the case and that the consumer protections that apply to UK suppliers do not apply if you buy overseas as far as I am aware. Buying direct from the supplier an should give you Credit Card protection (see telegraph article). If this is not factually correct I will amend.

Gentle_Giant

2 Jul 17 #145

Late to the show, but.....

My experiences with ALiExpress have been 99% favourable, only two return attempts for fake/faulty goods have not gone my way.

One of those was due to deliberate bad faith by the seller - who agreed to the return and replacement of fake goods, then refused to collect them from the Chinese customs warehouse, and failed to send or refund - AE closed his account.

The other was for an Umi phone that broke within 30 minutes of unsealing the box, with the issue here being that the phone was a replacement for another Umi phone that had arrived broken; that again isnt AE's fault, but the sellers - in this case Umi themselves, as I bought it from the official Umi shop.

EVERY other issue AE have resolved in my favour; from cotton baby clothes advertised as Silk, to getting sent the wrong product, or the product never arriving (or arriving very late).

I had a mass order through AE that I ordered on the 17th (various water cooling kit); most of it arrived the beginning of this week, and the last item was due on Thursday - although the PO messed up and I had to go collect it Saturday.

So it took 12 days for the slowest items to arrive. Yes, some sellers are a lot slower, but they are learning, gone are the days when they would sit on your order for 3 weeks before dispatching it.

Geekbuying take the shown £ sum; no conversions, no charges, so what you see is taken. They ship by NL post which means no tax as it is "beatified" in Holland (SA used to have department of "beatification" in the days when thing could not be legally sold to them).

You made a connection between your experience with a seller and a misprice from another seller and said your comments of receiving a defective phone were "somewhat prophetic" even though there is no connection between the 2 incidences given that AliExpress neither ship or price items. You said to Google "AliExpress complaint" to see the scale of the problem and then suggested that this time it was misprice but that next time it could be what you experienced, which to me seems more implicative of things going wrong rather than a case of highlighting differences if issues arise.

My initial reply was not regarding credit cards but it does not appear that you yourself have been unable to claim via credit card and your comments seem to go back and forth between certainty and uncertainty regarding the matter. http://uk.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/section-75-third-parties.php "The invalidity of Section 75 due to third party involvement is a complex and technical distinction that the regulator, credit card issuers and consumer groups have not been able to fully clarify". I can't find any cases online of AliExpress users having been denied CC S75 so it is more of an assumption on the basis that AliExpress are not the supplier. However if it was a simple case of any 3rd party involvement means no CC S75 then no-one on eBay has CC protection since eBay are not the supplier.

Readers made aware of potential issues re Credit Card Protection (as summarised in the Telegraph article and elsewhere), that UK consumer rights don't apply when purchasing overseas, potential for import duty charges and the issues others have experienced trying to resolve problems with Ali-Express (as reported on other sites) can do their own due diligence and make an informed decision. Point 5 in this article is a good summary http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/buy-from-china-aliexpress

FYI - eBay has PayPal protection and most companies on there are UK based so are subject to relevant section of 'Sale of Goods Act' Legislation and consumer protection and 14 days to return the item if you don't want it.
