You should be, it's avery very good phone and ridiculous value for money. I got my wife this model and she absolutely loves it. She's not a gamer but is forever on facebook and Words With Friends and the battery lasts easily 2 days

To be honest, with battery life this long fast charge is irrelevant for most users. Even with massively heavy usage this phone will easily last a full day. Simply charge it overnight. Job done.

After experiencing a MTK chip in my elephone p6000 (granted not the same chip) it's Qualcomm all the way for me. The MTK version of this phone is cheaper than the SD625 version everywhere.

No Band 20 though so could be troublesome down the line

The Helio X20 is not the global version and I don think it has band 20 either

Gold is always the cheapest option but we've housed my wife's in a MOFI Flip Case and applied a coloured tempered glass screen protector on it. Voila, not Gold anymore! About 7/8 quid all in. Plus you really should use a case and tempered glass protector on these phones because Xiaomi are very vague about the glass the screen is made from...

I've ordered lots of stuff from there and only one item didn't arrive. Made a claim direct to aliexpress and they agreed a full refund in a matter of hours. They don't release the funds to the seller until you have confirmed receipt.

I use mine on 3 (it does have Band 20) and it's been fine - 4G everywhere I'd get 4G with my old Sony. It does have a micro SD slot (it can take a micro + a nano SIM *OR* a micro SIM + a microSD card).

I've had a few updates to MIUI so far, apparently MIUI9 is coming out soon (the beta version is out).

I'm extremely happy with mine, battery life is the best part. I sat on the sofa one Saturday afternoon playing Eternal (nerdy card game), tinkered with the phone loads during the day, went to bed in the evening and the phone still had 40% charge. It's rare I go to bed with it any less than 50%. It's great for the games I tend to play, I've not tried anything heavy & 3d but Hearthstone, Eternal, Peggle etc run flawlessly.

The only negative I have about the phone is the camera, it's not the greatest but it takes good snaps as long as the lighting is decent.

So no temptation to flash a custom ROM for me, not until Xiaomi stop pushing out updates for it, at least.

Works perfectly fine for me on the EE network. Yes it has a double slot for 2 sim cards or 1 sim and 1 sdcard.
Mine worked straight out the box and gets regular updates.
Highly recommend this phone...

The default camera pic quality is set to normal when you get the phone. Simply go into camera settings and check the high quality box and the camera performs much better. Not an iphone beater by any means but pretty decent.
