Saw his in the latest Big W catalogue and seems like a good deal?
Not sure if it is only Gold?
Seems like it is the 2016 model.

    Might want to have a look at the Redmi Note 4x instead.. <$200 phone much better spec

    • Is it sold locally?

    I think this is OK for local stock from a brick and mortar store with good return policy.

    Otherwise get a Redmi Note 4 from aliexpress you will get twice the ram (2 v 4 GB), 4 times more memory (16 v 64gb) a much faster cpu and 1000mAh more battery.

      Yes, the battery life of the Xiaomi Redmi phones is a huge plus. I can easily get a full days (17 hours) use without needing to recharge. My note 3 is just coming up to a year old.

      Still happy with it. I bought mine from an Aus seller for local warranty, but it was shipped from SE Asia to a click & collect location.

    • Do the Redmi's etc come loaded with Chinese software/ apps/ bloat. Also,how do you go for updates and backup software with Chinese imports?

      No band 28 though.

    Confirmed it is the 2016 model only. Big W do have the GR5 2017 but it is $399 from memory.
    The GR5 is also known as the Huawei Honor 5X and the 2017 as the Honor 6X,
    I looked at this too but ended up going for a Redmi Note 4 3gb/16bg from Banggood for $167 delivered, just too much bang for the buck. Heaven knows when or if I will get it though. :-)

      How did you confirm it? Cos the OP links to the GR5 being normally $399 too?

        I called big W. The GR5 was that price but it is on clearance because there is a new model, the GR5 2017.

    I think you can use woolworths gift cards there so buy a woolies $200 gift card through cash rewards for $190 and save an extra $10 in purchase.

  • I looks nice
    it's very slow and I don't like touch
