Why cold. If anyone can currently find it cheaper let us all know

Heat added - Good price, shame its only in Gold otherwise I would have taken the plunge.

I have the 3gb ram / 32gb storage version of this and paid £118 a few weeks ago, It's a brilliant phone for the money and this one here is even better value if you don't mind the colour. Heat from me.

How long did it take to arrive?

Is there no way to speed up delivery?

Yes there is a way to speed up delivery but you will be almost guaranteed to be stung for import duty if you use the likes of DHL I used the standard free Aliexpress service and from ordering it took 13 days to my house.

Good price. Note 5 on the horizon though so I expect prices will start to fall soon

13 Days using standard free Aliexpress delivery, I was also fully trackable right up to when it arrived here in the uk.
After that Royal mail delivered it but that was not tracked.

Hmm, no paypal..how did you pay?

Have this. Great phone. I flashed unofficial lineage on it which is perfect, not a fan of miui. One of the 3 great budget phones (others being Moto G5 and Lenovo Z2)

Great phone for the money. Camera is adequate but not brilliant though

Use AliPay by joining and registering. Its safe and protected as you release the money to seller when you receive items and are happy.

I saw in this news article:
gizmochina.com/201…st/

that Redmi Note 4X is in the list for Nougat but not Redmi Note 4.
I dunno whether our model qualifies as 4X or the latter.
Nor have I had tried a custom rom or Miui Global ROM to make comments there.

I am curious regarding this.
Please update us on your experience with it after its been going a while eg overheating, call quality, youtube.

Wife and daughter both have Snapdragon 650 Redmi Note 3 phones, no overheating so expect the SD625 in the note 4 to be similar or better due to the architecture (14nm vs 28nm IIRC). My SD652 Xiaomi Mi Max Prime gets warm though never hot.
All running MIUI, we all like it. I have a RN4 3/32GB due so will be able to compare once it arrives. Phones all work flawlessly though I gather there have been reported issues regarding call quality on some RN4s.

Can you download & use mobile banking apps on this? (I seem to remember there being a problem when looking at Chinese phones previously, although this was a few years ago)

Ive lost my Huawei P8, but just found out my insurance that covers it has a £100 excess so Im thinking i might as well pay the extra few quid for this?

Thank you sandy

I just want a mi mix

Ive been waiting for exactly 30 days now and my phone still hasn't arrived, tracking is rubbish and its very annoying waiting for a phone to arrive for a month!

Be prepared to wait and be patient

Superb phone, my wife and I have one. Great value for money and solid build.

Xiaomi online store and it took 13 days to arrive, the tracking was great up until it arrived here in the UK.

Barclaycard because the transaction was over £100 so I was covered if the item never arrived. AliExpress also withhold the funds from the seller until after you confirm it's safe delivery so your protected in two ways.

cold , not a £600 samsung or apple flagship

What's the camera like my nexus 6p feels slow

Nice price for a Gold

I bought 3/32GB version from Eternal store and arrived home in 13 days! Great phone, runs smooth as butter, doesn't heat up and hardly any other phones in UK market can beat it. Having had positive experience of quick delivery, original item and tracking right upto when it lands UK, I'm willing to order more from Aliexpress.

I forget how is it you buy without that extra charge for protection plan

Just ordered. Paid £128.14. I will let you know when arrived if interested :wink: and 8% cashback from Quidco as well (tracked £6.35 from a purchase amount of £127.00)
Some heat for you. Thanks for posting

Is that where you change your region to USA then add to basket and change back to UK in the checkout process?

It should :neutral_face: oO

Just done it :wink: If you don´t do it you would pay￡134

Great price...
But I still haven't received my refund from their last "Wrong price mistake"
"Because of system problem, Redmi note4 global version 4GB + 64gb was a wrong price
You buy the phone below the real price, we have an emergency contact you, please help us to cancel the order, if your funds are still under review, you can freely choose to cancel, if your funds have been approved by, please make a cancelling request ,select the reason for "other reason"
We will agree with your the deal ,order will be canceled and your payment will be returned to your account in 5-7 business days"

hotukdeals.com/dea…703

you cant compare this vs nexus 6p in camera. People who buys Chinese phones they don't care about camera quality they are into value for money. You cant have value for money and great camera in a phone at the same time!

Tempted, but its gold :disappointed: anyone aware of current cheapest seller of the black model ? ( that's still global version rom / band 20 )

That was a different seller

This or a Samsung S6 in terms of speed, battery, camera, build quality.

I bit at the same price, always thought it was a misprice though had to try. It hasn't been 7 business days yet and while it is possibly annoying, it won't be long.

Tradetracker link doesn't work.

So I can only get the grey version if I either buy an SD card or a Miband2?

Thanks.

No, if you want it faster you order via DHL and you almost definitely get a customs charge

think its oos now for standard

As my family's mobile procurement officer, I've ordered 4 Redmis from Xiaomi Online in the last few months (all standard shipping):
The first 2 came within 2 weeks.
The 3rd was ordered about 5 weeks ago, but for more than 3 weeks has mysteriously "departed from sending country, but not yet arrived at destination country".
In the meantime, the 4th, ordered 3 weeks after the 3rd Redmi, has already arrived here, within 2 weeks...
I'm frankly a little worried about whether I'll ever see the 3rd Redmi, and I certainly won't order another if I need it in a hurry. Otherwise no complaints.

Dont go overboard they are 'ok' and i am a Xiaomi fanboy, they break quite easily

The biggest problem is the cases available are generally awful

I have this -stonking phone for the price.

That's unfortunate. Worth repeating, assume no warranty when buying. I've purchased 7 Xiaomi phones in the past year and had no warranty issues, happy to continue saving a fortune compared to equivalent 'premium' brands.

The camera on my Redmi Note 3 is pretty poor and I've heard the Note 4 isn't any better. What's the best best for a good camera phone under £250?

I've just got a new mfr. refurbed Samsung S5 for the same price (ish) from Carphone with a 12 month warranty to replace my Windows Lumia 830 - I thought I'd try out an Android phone before taking the plunge. It was a mistake and wouldn't recommend.
The UI is awful and infantile, the camera is poor (pictures are OK but the camera app is terrible & slow), battery life is terrible (although after 3 weeks tearing my hair out I've finally sussed out this is a problem with Google Play sevices & their location history feature - I was lucky to get 7 hours out of it but now get about 22 hours). But worst is the 16GB memory - it's forever crashing (Marshmallow) because it runs out of memory with a minimal app portfolio, so it is a real faff to keep it going. On the plus side, it has a removable battery & Qi charging (via a £3 ikea case). I'm looking at replacing the S5, but this is similar specs really (very similar to the Lenovo P2 specs, which I was looking at as well) & is less than 10% benchmark improvement despite being Octocore. Be interested in views for a S5 upgrade that doesn't come too expensive, decent screen size (5.2 - 5.8") and doesn't have the words "Apple" , "Samsung" or "LG" printed on the phone.....
On this particular phone, I've added heat because it seems good value considering the price. Should have got this instead of an S5 to try out.

You might be better off with a different camera app.

I would upgrade to this from my Nexus 5X if only this had NFC. I can't live without Android pay :face_with_monocle:

I have the Gold version and it looks nothing like as Goldie as it does in the photo's. Looks more Silvery if anything, really good looking phone and build quality is superb.

This is the best budget phone you can get for the money and could match phones costing 3x the price in terms of performance.

I previously owned an S5 and I currently a Lenovo P2 & Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (as well as a Xiaomi Redmi 4x). There is very little difference in terms of performance between the P2 and Redmi Note 4 and they are both an improvement over the S5. The P2 has NFC which the Redmi Note 4 doesn't.

On the camera front the P2 edges out the Xiaomi not that the Xiaomi's photos are bad they are just not flagship quality.

In terms of value for money the Xiaomi is the best phone on the market and cannot be beaten.

Brilliant phones, ditch the snobby £500 + phones. These are great. Bought the wife one arrived in 14 days then ordered myself one and arrived in 12 days. MIUI Interface takes a bit of getting used to but some of the extra features are better than bog standard android.

is this one better than this one ? hotukdeals.com/dea…551


certainly is cheaper

I've just ordered a Moto E4, but now thinking I should get something like this. Do they do a smaller version?

Would this be better than a Samsung note 4?

I've just got a lg g6. I wonder should I have tried this instead?

Looks like it's now Out of stock, unless you are happy to get the bundle that goes with a memory card , so priced at £137 or more now

managed to get one in my basket and get to checkout and it has added a warranty on ffs and won't let me remove it :disappointed:

ok managed to get one ordered, used my Mastercard for protection and price came to £126.77


fingers crossed all goes well now


thanks to the o.p. heat added

No NFC on this phone, which my Smart Ultra 6 has. It's a shame as I would have bought it otherwise. I need a new phone as I'm going to the US in a couple of months, and my SU6 won't work on data out there. 3G will be good enough for a week.

37-57 days? There'll be another UK election before that time!

The aliexpress site says 38-58 days :-)

It is free postage after all - if you want it faster you can pay for it.

Great phone. I have a 4GB/32GB phone , cost £ 170 to buy from UK seller. Battery easily lasts two days .

Same reason I won't upgrade from my Nexus 4. This is a really good price and I am so tempted to buy but not including NFC is a huge mistake. NFC and wireless charging are the norm these days, and any serious phone manufacturer should be including them as standard.

Samsung is so big now that they can charge very high prices. Take the S8 for example, the phone is roughly £600, it is a very nice phone - but is worth about £200, so you are paying an extra £400 just for the brand name.

In my opinion, apart from no NFC/wireless charging support (major schoolboy error), Xiaomi wins hands down.

I know, I am right on the edge of buying it, I do need to upgrade - I have had my Nexus 4 for 3 and a half years now (I got it for the bargain price from the infamous Scan deal).

I am wondering whether do buy this, after all NFC/wireless charging isn't essential right.

I am ready to click on order now, so do I buy this now or not?

Do you now have to buy it with a memory card?

I bought this a few weeks ago from Ali Express. So far, very impressed. Much quicker than my Nexus 5X, and battery life much better. Have been on holiday doing lots of driving, and have been able to use it as a sat nav without being plugged in for several hours, and by the end of the day it's still got 40% battery.

Mine took about 10 days to show up.

How did you solve the Google Play location history issue? Think it might help lots of people.

link for case please

I eventually found an excellent case after watching YouTube reviews it has the dodgy name of 'iPaky' but it fits and looks superb. You also need to order a note 4x because this global version has a different hole configuration on the top to a standard Note 4.

m.aliexpress.com/s/i…Yx8
Also it only took 9 working days to arrive from China my phone took 13 days to arrive.

I had an iPaky on my Redmi Note 3, the colour faded to reveal white on corners with wear.

Not really, it's shaped and tapered too match the actual phone but obviously to provide protection it has to be a few mm thick around the sides. The one I first bought from Amazon felt a lot more bulky because on its squareness link here : amazon.co.uk/SMT…_pi

bought this phone back in April of another deal on hukd again from Aliexpress, nobody watching that so I thought I'd post on here in case anyone else has had similiar experience. My phone has suddenly decided to stop charging, I've tried different chargers lead etc, I don't think its the charging port, the cable fits as snugly as ever. there are some reports of the problem when you google it but there doesn't seem to be any solutions. really hope someone here can help.

iirc it updated couple of weeks ago so not related I don't think but google searches seems to suggest that it might be.

btw before this problem loved the phone, amazing what you get for the money. but completely screwed me now will have to pick up a replacement from a local overpriced shop.

I'm thought the phone will come with a silicone case and screen protector as per the description on Ali express

Ordered thanks. Do you guy's know of any links to glass screen protectors?

A question to anyone that owns this please...

I currently have a frankly dreadful Samsung Galaxy J3 which uses a Micro SIM card and I was wondering if this will actually work in this Xiaomi 'as is' or will some form of adapter be needed ?

This phone takes a micro sim in slot 1 and also a nano sim OR micro sd card in slot two so you will be just fine.

I just bought the grey version, despite it not having NFC, which is a bit of a shame, although I've only used android pay a handful of times in the last 12 months on my SU6. I've been looking at and comparing numerous phones over the last few days including the Lenovo P2, LG G6, Moto G 5 Plus. OnePlus 3T et al, and bang for the buck I can't find anything to beat it, especially as it's global and will work all over the world on 3G/4G, including the US (which I'm visiting in a couple of months), which my Smart Ultra 6 doesn't. The camera isn't going to be fantastic, but I prefer to use a traditional camera anyway. I've only ever bought one Xiaomi product in the past, which were earphones, and they turned out to be well made and quality, and good value for money for the price. I'm expecting similar from this phone. I could easily afford to spend £700 on a top notch phone tbh, but I just will not do it, as IMO it's a big rip off.

Would this be much of a improvement over my Huawei P9 lite 3gb ??

Aghhh man the battery life on my Nexus 5X makes me want to pull my hair out. I can live with the 2GB ram just about for another year, but the battery life... :disappointed: Wish Xiaomi released a sub £200 phone with NFC or just a Redmi note 4 with NFC (android pay is just too invaluable to me)

Yes, I did finally. It was due to the Google Location History feature in settings causing a Wakelock problem (i.e. continually waking up the phone). I installed a wakelock detector (Wakelock detector Lite, doesn't need the phone to be rooted) and tracked it down from that. I'm on the most up to date version of Marshmallow allowed on the S5, and it still is causing an issue.
If you turn off location history in >settings >location and still have the location mode on HIGH ACCURACY, battery capacity for me has increased from about 5-6 hours to about 24-48 hours now before requiring a charge, and location services are still working fine (apart from tracking where I've been in the past, obviously).

Just got dispatch email, quoted 20-40 days :smile:

Does anyone know if this phone would get 4G in giffgaff? I can see it all depends on frequency, but cannot find anything conclusive.

One very annoying thing about Xiaomi phones. The OS, MIUI has no app drawer like pretty much all other version of Android. So you have to place all of your apps on your various home screens, kind of like on an iPhone. OK you can hide your unwanted apps in a home screen far to the right/left hand side but I don't like it and I thought others may be interested to know of this little quirk.

Saying that, I'm buying one of these for my nan because she doesn't know any better :smile:

Not really an issue when you can download a launcher from the Playstore and get your app drawer back in seconds. I haven't bothered myself as I have got used to neatly putting my apps in folders manually.

Got the refund back today fyi

Just search "launcher" on Google Play Store. There's a lot of them. Some of the popular ones would be "Nova", "Apex" and "Arrow". Google has their own called "Google Now" which will give a stock Android feel, but all of them will have lots of customizability. On Android phones, there will be a section in settings for you to choose custom launcher so you can have multiple launchers installed and switch between them until you settle on one. If your MIUI is up to date it is under Settings > Home screen > Default Launcher.

I would say if you just want to keep it simple Google launcher is the easiest. Nova is the best if you pay for the Pro version but I should imagine you will be fine with Google's free launcher.

Looking for some advice before i buy this.
Thinking this or the Moto G5. Use a lot of apps on my phone and my Wileyfox Swift battery is not lasting long enough. Seen this has a large battery.
Do people flash these with a different OS when they arrive? Presume the Chinese Gov spyware on these phones is a lie and i wont need to do this?

How do i pay without the warranty? I added to to basket in USA, but as soon as i select ship to UK, it adds the warranty.
I click buy from this seller and then change the drop down to UK from USA... it looks like its going to work but the buy now is greyed out.. presume this is how you get it without the warranty.. once i click save address, it will stop being greyed out?


EDIT***
Looks like sold out now ffs.

Thanks! My refund came in this morning and they've now sold out! :sunglasses:

showing in stock just checked

Like the above, if you keep checking back within a few hours the stock comes back.

Just ordered! thanks OP :smile:

Why has this been expired if the item is still in stock ?

It seems they come back into stock and the quantities and colours change at will. I managed to get the black version I really wanted at 5:30am on Monday after cancelling the grey version I ordered on Sunday, although there were only 5 pieces available. Also if the ship to country is changed to USA then you don't have to buy the warranty which is apparently worthless anyway after doing a bit of googling. I paid £153 for the black version (including the ripoff warranty), which is a premium on the white at £135. They shipped my order this morning, 2 days after payment, so I hope to receive the phone in a couple of weeks, as my last order from them, which was a pair of earphones took 9 days from order to delivery, but the 1st and only other order before that never arrived.

In their product description they mention Tips:Free Gift = Silicone Case + HD Protective Film, but in the package contents there is no mention. So does the phone come with a screen protector and silicone case or not?

Package contents = what's inside the box whereas the film/case seems to be additional extras included by the seller but chances are they will be bad quality, so I would suggest buying another case and screen protector elsewhere. Some previous comments about them here<<, here<< and here<<. Note: if going for another case/protector, be sure to search for either Note 4X or ones that specify Note 4 Snapdragon or Global Version. Ones that just say "Note 4" will likely be for the original Mediatek model which has a different housing and won't fit this phone properly.

97 gold in stock at the moment.

BREAKING NEWS: I have just noticed that the grey version is now available in the Official Standard package for US $7 dollars more if anyone is interested in that. I must admit the gold colour put me off as I thought it was a bit feminine before.

Also, I have noticed that it looks like some kid has expired this deal. As both the gold and grey versions of this phone are available in Official Standard package, then I see no reason why this has been expired. Deal is still active.

How do you get the £128 pricepoint? Only see the price in USD?

The mobile website is rubbish and I've never found how how to either , you either do it in the settings in the app or at the top right on a desktop

Price has gone up to £133.75 in that case.

my order has "Departed country of origin"

am thinking I may have it next week which would be great, fingers crossed customs don't whack me

Mine is at same stage. I contacted them about customs charges, and they said that they declare the item value as $49, so even if we get stung it'll be minimal. :laughing:

I think they sent them all at the same time X)
Hopefully non of us will pay taxes, but the declared value is not the one they take as real to calculate it, that is what I have read. Keep in touch, so we can share our experience from this. Btw, did you buy a case??

I purchased this yesterday and price was £132. Just looked at order now and showing transaction was £165. Would there be any reason for this? Payment has not been taken from bank yet

Ouch! oO

Are you sure it does not say $165 in dollars not GBP.

That's what I thought originally, might be a mistake with dollars or pounds. However definitely shows pound sign next to order and in the order page it shows a supposed screen shot taken during my order with $209.99. This doesn't even seem to be one of the available prices. I had changed price to sterling when I placed the order I have written to them and they have apologised but say all they can do is discount the difference from my next order???

The longest part of the wait is when it's in the UK but you might get lucky and have it next week.

If you used standard shipping then I'd be 99% sure you won't have any customs charges. I've ordered loads and never been hit.

thanks for the info, it's my first time using a Chinese company and everything so far has gone well, like you say fingers crossed on the customs and possibly end of next week :smile:

I did order a case...2 different ones just to play it safe, and a screen Protector.
Least we can share experiences on here to find the best ones! Like you say, hope we all get them through without being stung! :thumbsup:

Ordered and came to £131. Need a case and glass screen protector now. And recommendations from you good folks?

Somebody earlier on in the thread recommended this case aliexpress.com/ite…ail

Thanks. Had a look at that but didn't like the plastic surround. I do prefer tpu cases though as I don't like the folder type cases that cover the front.

I use the Note 4x black version of this and it's great, cost me a quid

m.aliexpress.com/s/i…dmi

do you have the gold phone with the black case ?
are the cut out's for the camera etc.. spot on ?

thanks

Yes cut outs are right. My phone is silver

Anybody close to recieving theirs yet? Mines on its way, hard to tell if it's now in the UK though, tracking system is a bit wacky!

Mine just changed status :smile:

I've ordered things from AliExpress before, it's usually followed by "customs cleared" or something to that tune. I've even had it as an update on items that were less than a £1 so it's luck of the draw as to whether it's checked

It arrived (it took 11 days), just a day to arrive from the Processing Center (that is in Heatrow), sometimes it takes a while.
Have not checked how it works, just switched it on and it´s OK. The case it´s really bad (but was free, what can you expect...), will buy one today 8).
No complain. I contacted in order to check the plug they send and they answered me the same day.

Mine arrived today, took 12 days which is fast compared to previous orders from Aliexpress

would love to know any initial thoughts you may have on the phone when you have a play :smile:

was it the gold one you got ?

This one is for my brother.
I already knew the phone well, as I have purchased 2x 3GB/32GB versions few months ago for family members who are extremely happy with them.
Previous to that, mum has the Xiaomi Note 3 and I have the Mi Max both purchased last year.
All phones are excellent and run superfast, problem free with big batteries.
I'm Huge Xiaomi fan now as you can tell. Im sure you will be really happy with it

Glad to hear you're all getting it now. Any views you can share or pics? Getting excited now

Went to the post centre this morning to collect mine... It was the screen protector I bought a few days later! :angry:

Just arrived home. I have a case (which looks pretty decent) and screen protectors...but no phone!

What's your tracking status on AliExpress? Mines still somewhere in the air :kissing_heart:

Will get a plain glass one from Amazon probably too

Mine arrived today. Took a week. What an amazing phone.
Still waiting for another one from geekybuying which I ordered a month ago.

A week?! Wow

Ordered mine on Wednesday 12th and received it this morning :smile: Loving it!

Got mine now, delivered Friday! It's good to have the finger sensor on the back like my old Huawei! :grin: Just waiting I cases - also not sure I trust the adapter plug the seller sent... :unamused:

The waiting is unbearable for me now. I knew it would take a while and was prepared to wait 2 weeks but I've never been a patient person lol. It's not been 2 weeks yet but I've been refreshing the tracking every hour! It's been in the air for about 5 days now - is it coming from the moon? Haha

I've weaned myself down to checking twice a day, but frequently find myself pressing the app without realising... :thinking:

Just an advise... Do not use it if your case did not arrive... It felt down and the screen is now broken... Just 5 days after it arrived :cry:‌ :cry: fully functional, but I'm really sad :poop:‌ :poop:

My case will arrive too late :cry: It fell down once... Now I am having a look to YouTube to have an idea about replacing the screen :astonished: I'm in shock....

After all that waiting, really feel for you! I'll try very hard not to use it without a case but I fear that is a futile promise.

Absolutely true

It's finally arrived in the UK woohoo! People say the processing centre is near Heathrow so I should hopefully get it soon? I'm so expectant that I hope I'm not disappointed somehow.

It's been a while since I used an android phone. Is hangouts still bad? Do I still have to clear cache every few weeks etc? Do android processes still wreck havoc with battery life? Just a few of the things that made me cross over to the dark side. The increasing cost of iPhones is what is bringing me back. Really can't justify the price - and some android phones are following suit now. Crazy

Phone is here and it's absolutely amazing. Can't believe it costs just £131!!!! I always thought people were exaggerating just a bit but seeing it for myself I'm blown away.

Granted, I haven't done much with it yet but it looks like it costs a lot more.

One of my cases arrived today too so that was a bonus as the included free gift of a case was pants really. The free plastic screen protector will do though until the glass one turns up. Next to my iPhone it doesn't look cheap lol

Hi can you or someone plz confirm how is the navigation (google maps or any other app) using this.

I used Waze with it and worked fine. Got a satellite fix very quickly and didn't lose signal.

I always wondered how the coloured screen protectors would look like. Bought one to try on my white front Note 4 and here's the result

The capacitive buttons at the bottom are slightly misaligned but the top cutouts are mainly OK including the notification light. Sides are OK too but slight colour bleed at the bottom but a thicker case will cover that completely

Tick tock...Still waiting...

Sorry to hear that you've still not received yours. It's the luck of the draw sometimes. The first case I ordered still hasn't turned up but later orders were delivered last week. There's just no order to these things. Fingers crossed for you that it'll turn up by weekend.

What does the tracking show

Just says 'hand over to airline' dated 12th July! Like you say, it is very random. My cases and screen Protector came quick-smart. The seller isn't concerned and just said 'don't worry friend, we are both protected by AliExpress'...!

The 'up to 40 business days' is the equivalent of 2 months, so not overly concerned, just impatient!

Are you still loving yours?

Really hope it turns up as I'm sure getting a refund from AliExpress won't be easy, but should be OK if you paid by credit card.

Happy with mine so far but still trying to get used to android again.

Thankfully paid by Credit Card...another plus point of HUKD is learning how to protect transactions!

As for delivery...I have a good feeling about this week... :astonished:

Any news?

No news. Contacted seller again, and they just gave me stock answer about long delivery times, and 'not to worry' as we're both covered. I can ask for refund on 30th Aug. Resigned to the fact that it's lost in transit.

Thankfully my Xperia Z2 has been behaving perfectly well since ordering. Will still look to buy a Xiaomi once refunds done though...which will probably take ages!

I've had this phone a few weeks now, but tbh I'm not at all impressed. While the hardware spec seems pretty decent, the software is buggy as hell, even after upgrade to Nougat and MIUI 9. Lock screen notifications don't work properly, and when I just did a hands free call, the handset started dialling random numbers and hashes etc. I only bought it to go to America in September as my SU6 wouldn't work on 3g/4g out there. As soon as I'm back the heap of crap that is the Xiaomi Remi Note 4 is going on ebay.

MIUI 9 is a beta/developmental build at the moment. I am on the stable MIUI 8.5 with Nougat and don't have any software bugs.

It was the same when I had Marshmallow and MIUI 8 on the phone. try getting ebay or amazon notifications to work on your lock screen. I've trawled the net for a solution, but there isn't one. It's just a buggy piece of crap.

Loving mine still and I'm also just updated to the stable MIUI8.5 with Nougat. I do find it annoying that still have to do two finger swipe down to expand notifications. I use Nova launcher.

Sorry to say that you "probably" wont get it mate. The samething happened to me, same shipping message, just stuck there for 2 months.

If i was you i'd give it maybe 1 or 2 more weeks and then start the "dispute" "refund" process. Aliexpress are good and they will refund you eventually but you have to wait the full 60 days. After that i got refunded in 2 days.

Hope you get your phone but i didnt, recently and i had to go through this whole process

Definitely resigned to it now! Can't decided if it puts me off ordering again, or of I just put it down to a one off bad luck...but like yourself, I'm hearing more and more reports of the same happening. :unamused:

Didn't arrive. I've got an s7 edge instead now. I am however now stuck with 2 nice Xiaomi cases and 2 screen protectors! If you would use them, I'll post them for free if you pm me.
