Yes another Xiaomi Redmi phone deal, thought it was quite a cheap price for the 3GB version and in black.

It dropped to around £126 last week for the gold, and that's on AliExpress before any TCB/quidco

I've this phone in dark grey bought 3 weeks ago for £116 and absolutely brilliant. Super fast, sound is good though have not tested camera yet but I'm not the one with selfie craze, so guess it would be adequate enough for odd snaps. In couple of days one gets used to 5.5 inch screen and doesn't feel like a phablet, in fact old 4.5 inch phones then appear as toys. :stuck_out_tongue:

Could you check the "about" section in settings for the model number. I bought the black global edition from GB and have had it around a month now. The order says Note 4, the box says note 4 but in the about phone it says note 4x :smile:

Very good price. the phone is getting great reviews everywhere.
BTW, the phone has hybrid dual SIM, i.e. either use 2 SIM cards, or one nano SIM and one micro SD card.

A must buy for that price. If you're still not convinced watch VoloKin Project reviewing it and you'll see all pros and cons.

Was the box sealed and does it have a red "Global Version" label on it? The Official Global ROM for Note 4 Snapdragon is the exact same as the Note 4X. However, I think having it installed on a Redmi Note 4X makes it show as "Redmi Note 4" and not the other way about. Likewise the Redmi Note 4 Global Version which has this ROM pre-installed will also show "Redmi Note 4" so it's odd that yours is Note 4X despite coming in a Note 4 box. In "about phone" what does yours say under MIUI version?

You got very unlucky there. Never had any customs charges on many Chinese imports.

Customs charges can be as much as 50% of the actual cost of the phone thankfully gearbest quoted the phone cost as £34 and not £80

Any input on the quality of the camera? Only thing holding me off buying

Camera is great in good light. If you're looking for a DSLR, buy one. :smiley:

Just sold mine. As been said before, the camera is ok in good light, but the video and sound is atrocious. No OIS means lots of shaky video and blurry photos.
Otherwise the phone is fast and the screen is great.

Only buy a phone from GearBest if you're willing to wait months to receive it. They're absolutely appalling when it comes to sending things.

That would be "in a couple of days" not "in A couple of days".

How are the cameras on these phones? My Redmi Note 3 is a cracking piece of kit for the price, only let down by the crappy camera.

And once the 5 is released, 6 will be on the horizon. That's how these things work...

Not always, they had the first Xbox, then went up to 360 then went back to one again :sunglasses:
also on the 26th July there is a launch event for the XIAOMI MI 5X and also MIUI 9

I have had one since early this year. A great phone and I really can't understand why anyone would pay 5x as much for a top brand camera.
I have not found anything lacking so far.

Don't know why they think people are obsessed with thickness, they cut the battery from 4100 to 3790mah (in the Note 5) so it can be 7.5mm thick. I think most would rather have a larger battery as long as it isn't brick shaped. Most people use a case which adds extra thickness anyway.
