      Depending on the fault it may have to be returned to GeekBuying. I recommend that every OzBargainer should have PayPal's refunded returns turned on.

        What do I do after 150 days to save on the return shipping as that's PayPal's limit.

          +3

          THAT is your problem in one hit. I paid in USD (28Degree card - or whatever they call it now). My charges show $244.41 (slightly under the OP estimate in AUD).

          Suggest that you try again (& consider revoking the neg.)

          :-)

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/11/2019 - 21:54
      +12

      The negative vote really isn't necessary but I'm happy to help.

      So the discount brings it to $166 US. If you put that through the current Mastercard or VISA rate you're going to get approximately $244.79 AU as per the deal. This is assuming that you're using a currency conversion fee free card (most OzBargainers do) either directly or set to use it's own rate in PayPal.

      Then if you use Cashrewards 3.5% cashback you'll get approximately $8.56 AU back which brings the total down to ~$236.23 AU. It's not uncommon for a lot of deals here to utilise cashback either.

      I agree that the rate on GeekBuying (like all other Chinese stores) is not accurate with the current exchange rate. It's why USD and what I mentioned above is recommended.

      • Logical on 25/11/2019 - 22:28

        Why does cashrewards need to be involved at all? We all know they get a kick back commission from the sale which means GeekB should drop the price to the lowest that it should be and let the consumer pick up the bargain price and not let the middle man make a commission of the consumer. The cashrewards stunt is nothing more than a smokescreen.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/11/2019 - 22:33
          +8

          Not being an actual GeekBuying employee I can't accurately answer that so all I can give is a probable answer and insight as to why that's the case.

          Basically the sales team have a set budget and each product can only go so low in pricing with this deal being as low as that goes. Meanwhile the affiliate team have their own budget which can be applied to deals such as these to offer a lower price without having an impact on the sales team budget.

          In an ideal world I'd prefer it to be a direct discount but this is the best I can do and OzBargain is all about the lowest price (which this is) :)

          • Logical on 25/11/2019 - 22:45

            @Clear: The sales team budget own the right pocket and the affiliate team own the left pocket of the same pants. It is quite silly indeed. Thanks for the explanation.

            • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/11/2019 - 22:47

              @Logical: Hence why I can't give you an accurate answer but that's the gist of it.

  • bargainshooter on 25/11/2019 - 22:00

    Does this use the MIUI user interface or can you install a clean Android OS? Does it have any IPX ratings?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/11/2019 - 22:05
      +6

      It has the MIUI interface out of the box. Given the new release of the Note 8 series, custom ROM development is just starting up so it'll be a while until that happens. This ROM for the Note 8 for example offers a Pixel-like experience already.

      It doesn't have any IP ratings unfortunately. According to Xiaomi it offers:

      Splash-resistant nano-coating
      Take everyday accidents in stride

      • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 25/11/2019 - 22:09

        Any comments on MIUI 10? Is it bloatware or is it close to vanilla?

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 25/11/2019 - 22:18
          +1

          I don't mind it too much but it is iOS inspired and doesn't have an app drawer, but that's going to be included in MIUI 11 that is now rolling out. This page gives you an idea on the features.

          Given this phone has a Qualcomm Snapdragon over a MediaTek SoC, custom ROMs will be plenty in no time.

          • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 26/11/2019 - 08:17

            @Clear: MIUI 11 certainly looks pretty good. I might jump on this deal.

            Custom ROMs will kill NFC I presume? I recall this happened on a phone i flashed ~2 years.

            • Nightshade on 26/11/2019 - 12:57
              +1

              @Typical16-bitEnjoyer: Can't speak for Xiaomi specifically, but I've had no trouble with NFC on my LeEco Le Pro 3 running Lineage OS. Had to install Magisk and use the Hide feature as some banking apps thought I was rooted (I wasn't), but after that, I was fine.

              Edit: This all assumes that the custom ROM doesn't have NFC as a known missing feature, of course.

              • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 26/11/2019 - 13:29

                @Nightshade: Good to know, cheers! Lineage was what I ran on the old fine so was keen to give it another whirl. I obviously did something wrong to lose NFC, or maybe that particular ROM was missing it. It was 2-3 years ago I guess.

        • Cheeper on 26/11/2019 - 17:49
          +1

          I have never seen any "bloatware" in any MIUI including 11. It may be there but I have not gone looking for it. Personally I feel that MIUI is better than "vanilla" as it makes the shoe of android fit the Xiaomi product better.
          I am yet to see anything worthwhile listening to about MIUI "problems".
          Regardless of UI's there are always rom fiddlers that want to change just out of boredom… nothing wrong with that if it gives you a buzz.

      • fromau1 on 25/11/2019 - 23:01

    for the price, you get alot of phone and dont forget the 4000mhz battery. wish i didnt get a note 7 earlier in the year :(

    not sure what criticisms can be made on the redmi note series now, apart from MIUI but if thats not you thing just flash it.
    sure the camera will always be a weak point, but people are this price point know that the camera is going to be sacraficed on

      The 8T probably has the same Samsung processor as the 8, whereas the Sony should yield better results.

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 26/11/2019 - 07:20

      I know the other phones in this series are supposed to be Widevine L1 but Netflix has been seeing those as Widevine L3. So Netflix probably hasn't approved the devices themselves.

      Google Play shouldn't be an issue as this is officially GMS certified.

    The price is a little cheaper than Note 8 on AliExpress once you factor in GST + youdon't have to wait several weeks.

    Snapcom 665 supports all of the non-Apple Bluetooth codecs (great if you have Sony noise cancelling headphones). You also get a headphone jack and micro SD card slot, something missing in other 2019 released Xiomi phones.
