This was 151 the other day, but I also bought this this morning. It's slightly cheaper in $ if you have a fee free card at about £161

I ordered it from Banggood at this price yesterday too, after cancelling my Redmi Note 4 order in favour of it. Don't forget 6% Quidco.

Its annoying how a device like this is more than capable 99% of the time but when you need to take a good photo you're kinda stuffed. I'd pay more for a better camera but these Chinese phones seem to struggle with picture quality regardless of the price you pay.

As I understand things, the Mi A1 is the Mi 5X with plain vanilla Android. If so, you might want to reconsider you comments about the camera after watching this review. BTW, there's a second associated video comparing the camera performance of the Mi 5X to the one in the Oneplus 5. This phone looks to me like a Redmi Note 4 but with an exceedingly good camera but at a very competitive price.

The decent camera is one of the reasons I'm going for this, it's better than on the G5S, maybe not as good as a flagship but very capable. That and the decent amplifer on board.

Too big for me. If only they had a <5.5 screen.

Didn't think this was out yet? Is it pre-order?
Update - just checked and it is pre-order. Not out until end of September and we all know what Chinese sites are like with sending stuff on time..

Anyone get the feeling Google are ripping us off with pixel phone if they can work with Xiaomi and produce vanilla phone like this virtually same spec as pixel for £170!!.......a d get almost instant updates!

They're not virtually the same spec. And this wouldn't need so much work. It's basically another Xiaomi phone they've already made with stock android. The pixel is a custom made device specific to Google's requirements.
I don't think anyone can explain the overpriced Pixel in detail though :stuck_out_tongue:

Except the chipset and the screen, the most expensive parts of a phone....
iansanchez1 to Crill
11 Sep 17#21
Yeh but realistically chips etc doesn't make a huge difference neither does screen and certainly not a potential £400-£500 as new pixel will be upwards of £700 I would think

OLED and IPS are quite different.

Sadly, Google seem to have gone down the Apple route with their phone pricing in the last few years. I remember when the Nexus 4 was released it was a genuine bargain.

Is the battery life on this expected to fall well short of the Note 4? I read one review which seemed to simply state that it would 'last the day'

You reckon this would be much of an upgrade from the Nexus 6P?

There is a Xiaomi Note 3 being released tomorrow using a 660 processor which is very fast.

Probably be near twice as expensive.

Any chance of Topcashback paying with the code? Spec of phone looks amazing for price with stock android. Thanks OP

the global version has a different product id, this version is Product ID: 1196064 Global version which only has an ' alert me when available ' option rather than preorder is Product ID: 1197747
now i'm no expert and these 2 might be identical but deffo check if its important to you. got to say it sounds like a cracking, parden the pun, phone and nice to see a decent camera on a cheapish phone
