Who is the seller worth paying extra to go a different marketplace?

Banggood on the whole get better feedback than gearbest. The other deal was tomtop who are big but not sure if they are any good, its a bit of a lottery at best..

Great price - i had my preorder at £161. Money has already been taken so I think i'll leave it rather than risk not getting a refund, but if you don't already have one then this is a great deal.
I noticed a Global version has crept onto Banggood too (pricier) - do we know what the difference is??

Yeah - it's the same one I ordered, but if you run a search there is also one marked as Global which still has Band 20

I see what you mean that one says restock on the 30th and this one 27th and the discount code only works on this one probably the other one must be the price after this deal has finished

You'd be further down the waiting list too

I think I'll wait until I can get the phone from EU seller or EU warehouse. EMS already lost my racing quad, and it was a huge problem to get my money back.

Thanks for posting, I've taken the plunge. I opted not to save the extra 3.77 and paid with paypal who are usually pretty good when it comes to disputes.

Noticed that the new note 5 is meant to be released on or around the 11th Oct. To wait or not to wait? Won't be pure android but will the specs be similar?

I bought one for a quid from Aliexpress... no idea if it'll be any good, but the write up sounded fine!

Thinking of canceling my pre-order with GeekBuying since they're now saying the phone will ship after 28 days!
Wonder if Banggood will actually ship from 27th though...

I Bought an Xiaomi phone last year, battery packed up after 9 Months, trying to get it sorted was a long and lengthy process which took Months. Scary really if you are paying Hundreds of Pounds to a Chinese based company makes it a lot more difficult to deal with repairs refund etc
Not sure what you're hoping to accomplish though? Are you suggesting that people shouldn't consider a Xiaomi phone because you had a problem? They sell millions and having defects in any mass produced product is common for anything, not just electronics. Even then, if you bought it last year it's a different phone to any of the ones you've been commenting on recently. I can only imagine how many Samsung threads you'd be commenting on if you had have bought a Galaxy Note 7 instead :blush:

There are real potential problems when purchasing
from China
based company’s my comment is factual, fair and informative.

If the issue is potential problem with China based companies then how come I haven't noticed your comments on any other Chinese phone thread, besides Xiaomi? I'll ask again, "are you suggesting that people shouldn't consider a Xiaomi phone because you had a problem?" or are all deals from the likes of AliExpress, Gearbest, Banggood etc off limits because "there are real potential problems when purchasing from China based companies"?

You should have tried microwave method to fix your battery then.

Do you honestly think people don't know this? I guess at the end of the day it's all about how risk averse you are or the question is how much is a warranty worth? I would be interested to know what phone you have now and how much you paid for it. You literally cannot get anything like the spec here from the major brands for anything approaching this money.

Do you post this on every Xiaomi post? I've had a faulty Panasonic TV that must mean all Panasonic TV's are rubbish
