Is this the one everyone goes mad about and it usually sells out really fast?

Yep think that's the one, earlier offers a were for 90 and 106

So we have to go mad now

Hot hot hot

Code not working

Loads of deals on the 3gb version recently but I really want the 4gb one.

I need one urgently but cant decide :thinking: , Which one is better guys, this one or Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X 4G Phablet International Version - 4GB+64GB?

Think the international one doesn't have band 20

Ordered one over 3 weeks ago from gearbest last time it was posted on hukd for £90, still havent received it, do anyone know how long it usually takes to arrive?

The OP's flash sale link shows a price of £118.67.

However if you click on the link below and use the code NOTE4EUBGQ the price drops to £114.96.

gearbest.com/cel…336

Think the phones are identical but haven't checked in detail.

Hope this helps someone...

Got mine the other day from last deal.

Excellent phone and excellent ROM with so much more than the usual crap you get with big brand phones.
I can not believe how good these phones are for the price and to think i was going to get a Xperia xz premium lol.

I will never buy a big brand ever again and i still have a brand new s7 edge in the box and its not getting a sniff mainly because of the awful edge screen but due to the customisation possibilities for these phones,cant believe i have no never risked getting a Chinese brand before and been late to the party . Yes there are newer XIAOMI phones but this is great budget phone with great specs and awesome build with everything you need in a smart phone but with much more than you get from other high price phones as this even has the same hardware as them.

Do not hesitate if your thinking about a Chinese brand phone AS THESE ARE NOT LIKE CHEAP CHINESE JUNK You would expect.

Just checking out now and currently on the delivery page - can someone with experience recommend the best shipping option please? And what about customs charges and warranty? Thanks in advance!

Love my Redmi Note 3 Pro phone. Had it for over a year now and I still love it today.

I have got this phone and love it.

The developers ROM is better than the default stable.one.Does not require the bootloader to be unlocked

Anyone see if there's a NFC chip in this?

Also great deal another happy user for many months. Found smart watch garmin and it's over aggressive power saving software didn't play nicely but Google found solution.

I got done £11 from customs as well, from babyhood, s**t happens.

Are these better than the Mi6 looking to replace my iPhone 6+ and looking at the Mi6. For around £340 estimate for it

Got mine from Banggood and it arrived about a week ago. Took about 3 weeks to come and tracking didn't work, so had no idea where it was or how long it would take to get here. But, hey, it did arrive - with no duty to pay - and it's a bloody brilliant phone for the money. My son paid 3x this much for a pre-owned iPhone 6 - and personally I think that this is just as good. My Moto G4 Play is off to CEX very soon now!

Be careful of the options, only global has b20 for 4g.

Any opinions on this vs vernee Mars Pro or power 2? Looking around this price range

Is this likely to get the Oreo update OTA later this year?

If you still hesitate whetger to pull the trigger I highly recommend watching that review which helped me decide when I bought mine:

Calm down mate, they're good but you're acting like they're the best thing since sliced bread. Still a better love story than twilight though :thumbsup:

Got it free so not fussed and could of sold it back to O2 for £450 straight off.

Says more about you that you need to try sound funny with a reference to a batty boy emo flilm! Sit down puppy.

I assure you they are way better than decent! This phone will make you regret all the rip-off UK phones you have probably bought over the years..

Yes, same here but there was a delay in sending it probably due to massive demand. Mine is on its way but was only sent about a week ago.

I'm writing from mine.
I bought a screen protector on Amazon for it as soon as I got it and it follows the curve perfectly and without bubbles. It cost about £6.

I have a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 and I have up my Nexus 6p. Sure the camera us behind on comparison to the Nexus 6p but I feel overall that the Xiaomi is a better phone and beats my expectations. All I am saying is that I feel how you didn't too.

PS
I also have a Lenovo p2. No more buying expensive phone imo.

Gone for it this time. Speaker broken on my Moto G4 and I made the situation worse by trying to fix it!

Nearly went IPhone7 plus, but now feeling dirty even thinking about it! If i don't like this I am sure i can give it to my wife.

Thinking i'll probably put lineage on it. Custom ROM fun starts again (not done this since i had the San Francisco!).

Hot. Now the wait for delivery begins!

Same.here. £3.50 for Vat and £8 from royal mail for spotting it. Only because banggood classed it as a mp3 player worth £22 on the outside label. Not happy!

Any chance of a link please?

This one amazon.co.uk/2-P…tor

Any recommended Xiaomi tablets with NFC people can recommend

See here: hotukdeals.com/com…585
It was the same for plenty of others who bought from Banggood recently.

What Banggood classed it wasn't responsible for you being charged. That's their standard marking for phones< but customs charges weren't a problem until recently. On the past few Banggood deals, there were people stating the same ($22 mp4 player + marked as gift) yet there were differences in people getting charged or not. So it's something else caused the recent surge in custom charges for Banggood orders.

Thanks for the info. It's a shame as with Oreo so close I'm a bit reluctant to buy a new phone that will be stuck on an outdated OS. I'd be buying it for my Mum and I'd prefer for her to have the latest security fixes. I guess a custom ROM might be an option but that's obviously more hassle than an OTA update.

Can anyone recommend a screen protector that goes edge-to-edge? Anyone know if it has to be specifically labelled for the Snapdragon version?

This seems to be the only one I can find on Amazon: amazon.co.uk/Xia…YU0

These fitted my wife's Redmi Note 4 Global perfectly. Cheap as chips and a choice of colours to boot!

aliexpress.com/ite…ZfQ

If you've only just ordered the phone, the protectors from China usually arrive quicker than the phones IME. Don't be ripped off on Amazon!

The Android Version might remain the same but MIUI will still get updates and Xiaomi are good in that regard. Their Mi2 for example which is a 4 year old phone will still receive MIUI 9 amongst many of their older phones.

For Android Version updates, the alternative would be the Mi A1 mentioned on the other thread: androidauthority.com/xia…64/
"It aims to offer pure Android Nougat experience with a guarantee of Android Oreo update before the end of this year. In a surprise announcement at the launch, it was shared that the Mi A1 will also receive the Android P update, whenever it’s available."

Same for me I got charged 11.83 by customs and ordered from banggood.

What was the solution

You can also get the smaller screened 4X for £99 if anyone's after an even cheaper option

Is this the one that the Chinese government uses to spy on everybody that buys one unsuspectingly?

What shipping method did you choose ?

The price of this seems to be increasing.

I have the Note 3 which is great, but this does not look like it has improved THAT much. So check out the note 3 too.

Still £118 (Grey) or £114 (Black w/Code) for me.

BTW for those considering this or the more expensive (but same SoC) Mi A1. This video may help...

I mean the price of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 global. Maybe I'm just too used to discount codes.

Well I ummed and arred and ummed and arred a little more but finally pressed the button and bought one. Just the three and a bit weeks to wait now. I'm sure it'll be worth it. My only worry is it may be a little on the large side. Now I've never said that before!! Ps, discount code didn't work for me either.

Code only works on Black version. Worked for me today.

I ordered the 4GB/64GB Global version last week via hukd but hasn't been shipped yet from banggood.
Tempted to cancel and order this deal. Anyone in the know .....how long will I be waiting for banggood to ship, from back order?
m.banggood.com/Xia…der £148.0
thanks

Got one of these for my daughter and she thinks its great (she previously had a iPhone 5s). She cant find a fault with it an dthe battery can last her a couple of days. Based on this my son is now waiting for his Xiaomi Mis 5s Plus.

Same here but I'm going to wait it out as I will only have paid around £123 after cashback for this and its double the rom at 64gb and 4gb ram instead of 3gb for around £13 more.

With Banggood you *might* end up having to pay an extra £11.50 to Royal Mail. All of the recent Banggood phone deals have had multiple buyers getting hit with customs charges: hotukdeals.com/com…585

Gearbest and AliExpress deals still appear to be fine though.

yes got hit for 11.50p three days ago with redmi note 4.Package was marked mp3 player $40. via bangood. but was so happy with the phone quality and specs and the initial price of £98 after cashbac i was not to bothered ... Well just bothered with the post office as to the journey there and back and the long wait there.

Does it matter if the package is sent tracked or untracked whether it is stopped by customs..

Me too! glad I'm not the only one, but hope we both get email showing "Shipped" soon! I'll post back if I get any updates
thanks for replying

If you have to return goods and want to claim back the customs duty/VAT(you don't get the handling fee back), this is the form(bor286):
gov.uk/gov…286

Looks like UK customs have the radar on banggood and gearbest,maybe.
Fair play, if its 20% over the Xiaomi are still crazy good value.
Xiaomi need to get a distributer in the UK handling orders and Warranty claims they would do very well.
Folks after the Mi Mix 2 might press the button with the extra piece of mind.
Win win for all.

Not sure but I doubt it. It's probably due to Banggood using a different shipping company than other common Chinese sellers. Gearbest and AliExpress deals have never had multiple incidences of customs charges even though their orders would normally be tracked. It might just been down to luck for Banggood as there was no noticeable difference between people who got charges and people who didn't. However, the number of people getting charged seems to be much higher.

I have a Redmi Note 3 and I love it - can anyone please advice if is this a good upgrade?

Be aware that the screens scratch more easily than some top end phones and can crack if dropped from relatively short distances. So ensure you get a cover/ case asap. Other than that these phones are incredible at double or more money even.

never had an email of them when mine was shipped,just had to keep checking my bangood account page and it showed up there...So be minded to check ur account page.

I've got 3GB version, most of time I get over 1GB free, usually 1.4GB. I'm not a gamer, just normal user: browsing, tomtom and few widgets in nova launcher. For me no point to pay extra for 4GB. I have to say I'm rooted and use freezing apps so they won't start automatically.

Just ordered anyone recommend a case?

If i"m not mistaken it was air parcel free.

Haha, what's funny is how defensive you get over peoples replies :joy: it's like someone is actually insulting a loved one!
Well its very easy to tell someone to sit down when you're many miles away... It's usually the ones that talk like that on the internet that wouldn't do a thing face to face :wink:

Would also like to know of any recommended cases , I'm looking for a hard case preferably without adding bulk to the phone.

Samsonite do a good case. We've had one for years and never had a problem.

Sit down skinny emo and go eat your cookies.

I am willing to exchange with u if ure interested for my 32GB-ROM 3GB-RAM , mine received it 4 days ago and cost me £106 + £11 Custom charge.
Ps: I've opened it.

I've only ever seen Samsonite pouch cases , looking for a fitted case ideally that will protect the phone at all times

Why would anybody exchange for a lower spec phone with no comeback/protection if anything went wrong with it or am I missing something here ?

I ordered and the default shipping was set to Priority Line EU Express 10 - 25 business days FREE , Is this the correct one to use for the best chance of avoiding customs ?
Just tracked order and shipping info shows as :DPDUK2

Any help would be appreciated guys , asap in case I need to cancel and re-order :wink:

Nice Phone, but as some have already stated, this Phone has been cheaper at some points in time ...

Their are some who don"t mind about specs, as long as the phone works perfectly.

Can't be of any help as mine was bought from Banggood. Good luck with it mate.

wished I had bout the REDMI, rather than spending galaxy S8 deal. the VR set is crap :disappointed:

My god you're about as humourous as a wet flannel. Stop being so hormonal.

You're the moron running your mouth you clown if you can't handle banter don't open it, now off to bed Lil boy and don't forget to kiss daddy goodnight.

LOL , chancer , I like it :wink:

You call what you've been saying banter? :joy: Calling someone an 'emo'? Really? Are you 12? :joy:
If this was just banter to you then you wouldn't be coming out with childlike responses like telling me to stop 'running my mouth'. I haven't said that since I was 14. You just sound dim. Considering how attached you are to your phone it wouldn't surprise me if you're lacking anyway.

I live around Watford area, where abouts do you live then?

I've sent a request to cancel my order as I cant be sure which shipping option to take. The default shipping method I had selected indicating DHL worries me I'll be hit with a big customs bill so I'm pulling the plug on this one.

I'm not gay mate so fookoff online for meet ups you randy scrub. Ta ta emo oh yeah an sit down again. Next??

Really appreciate the offer, but I like the idea of a GB more memory and extra storage. I'm holding out.
Can I ask are you not happy with with Redmi Note 4? are you used to iOS?

Jesus Christ, you sound like a proper tool. No what your saying is that you're happy just spouting abuse at people from the safety of your phone or laptop screen. Why are you getting so wound up over a comment? :thinking:

I got this case m.aliexpress.com/s/i…bd2

Just got back from pub taking videos in low light last week the internal camera app was extremely poor but installed open camera and pleased to report much better experience.

Hi guys. I ordered My note 4 and it took approx 3 weeks for delivery.
I also had to pay £12 customs tax.
No the main issue I have is that the three sim card does not work.
I put my work vodafone sim. No problems
I insert my wife's virgin sim card, again no problems.
Three customer service were useless.
I ended up giving the phone to my wife.
Anyway have issues or know how to resolve my problem?
Thanks

Mine works on three perfectly fine.

Got this few weeks ago for £103 from HUKD but was hit with custom charge of £11! A lovely phone!

Au contraire as (del boy) use to say, I am extremely happy Redmi Note. One advice mate, go for it u won't be disappointed, just be careful with the screen as it's really hard to find a replacement.
Been an Android and all ways be.

was yours from gearbest ?

Your the muppet replying and talking about behind screens and where you live. What kind of puss talks like that. Here or real life I'll be the same so hush your mouth and sit down and stop replying.

Hi
Have you got the amazon link?
thanks

Couldn't agree with you more ... :-)

No. From banggood.

Really frustrating.....
My sim works perfectly in all other phones.
I may ask three to send me a new sim. Thanks

OK, thanks. I'll have to think about whether it's worth paying the extra for the Mi A1 to get Oreo.

Cheers buddy

That literally makes no sense at all, proper facepalm moment. If you would be the same in real life then you wouldn't bottle it like you have done. Nah I quite like having the last word - plus its funny watching you getting so emotional over this :thumbsup:

Face-palm? Bottle it? Emotional? Are you 6 yr old you clown. Only bitch getting emotional is you. Get bullied at school did you? Daddy use to touch you did he? Still a virgin? All I'm doing is laughing at you because your a joke nothing more. Next?
