Good price, waiting for the 4gb - 64gb version to drop.... missed it last time

Nice

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.

Would buy it myself but got the 4GB / 64GB version from geekbuying the other month.

Is the notification light RGB?
Software? How easy is it to root and get Xposed

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?

Watch for hidden customs charges just bought a phone from gearbest cost me another £17 to get it released

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

Cold, Gearbest

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

for £4 more you can have Bluboo S1 4gb 64gb

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.

I think its fair to assume the OP was highlighting the letter "A"

Does this support the android monthly security updates?

Note 5 will be released next month probably

This comes up as £117.79 for me with the code ):

Or you got very lucky.

Damn you're a smart one.

Not always, they had the first Xbox, then went up to 360 then went back to one again :sunglasses:

Redmi 5 will be launching soon here are the leaked specs http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_5_leak-news-26181.php

and here are the leaked specs for Redmi note 5 http://www.gsmarena.com/leak_details_redmi_note_5_snapdragon_630_660_chipset_3790mah_battery-news-25997.php

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.
