          I took the risk with china post haha, took like 2 weeks a bit to arrive. Even at that price, the 32gb coming down so fast.. kinda wish I held off

    • fryandlaurie on 15/04/2016 - 12:08

      You still saved a shit ton in comparison to buying a similar specced phone locally or elsewhere. China prices are always fluctuating so you can never really win sadly.

    • samehada on 15/04/2016 - 12:34

      Maybe try to ask them to cancel the order and order again.

      • GameChanger on 15/04/2016 - 12:35

    how is the camera quality of this phone compared to Samsung Galaxy S4 ?

  • dsj1188 on 15/04/2016 - 11:42

    The Chinese version has pre-installed apps. Are they a nuisance or just leave it as flashing it will cause voiding of warranty.

    • PR0r on 15/04/2016 - 14:27

      Xiaomi and their warrenty is never going to be good. You need to walk into one of their shops to arrange service. As we aren't in China, it's very hard and they don't do postal repairs.

  • Stuzi on 15/04/2016 - 11:42

    Can anyone confirm that the AFL Live app would work on this phone? It is listed as not compatible but I don't trust them.

    so this 32gb version has the 3gb ram?is that right?

    • fryandlaurie on 15/04/2016 - 12:09

      Correct. 16GB version has 2gb.

      • angelkulit025 on 15/04/2016 - 12:11

        what about micro sd? does this have a micro sd slot? i have read on the e-global page that it has micro sd slot but some reviews says it doesnt have expandable memory? so which one is telling the truth?

  • fryandlaurie on 15/04/2016 - 12:18

    It is worth noting that this phone has a fully functioning AOSP ROM straight from Snapdragon that you can flash when you unlock the bootloader. Everything works except the fingerprint reader. It's a factory ROM so I think performance is on par or better than MIUI:

      Can confirm works very well, apart from the fingerprint reader. Using it as my daily driver :)

    • dajackal on 15/04/2016 - 13:34

      Any idea if a Marshmallow ROM will be available anytime soon?

      • Pacify on 15/04/2016 - 18:47

        Supposedly the China rom is already marshmallow, so hopefully they put it on global soon?

        • dajackal on 15/04/2016 - 18:53

          Oh hell yes! Go xiaomi

        • Pacify on 15/04/2016 - 19:14

          Did some googling, so far they have only release Global MM on the Mi phones, but I recon the redmi versions should be next

      looks like a new AOSP ROM has been released with everything working!!

      • GameChanger on 18/04/2016 - 15:20

        Whats the advantage of using this? Over the one which comes with it.

        • iChopstick on 18/04/2016 - 15:33
          +2

          AOSP is very close to the stock Android experience. It is arguably a cleaner and faster UI and user experience.

        • GameChanger on 18/04/2016 - 15:36

          @iChopstick: Thanks, will see how the Xiaomi interface goes before going to this.

      • fryandlaurie on 18/04/2016 - 15:36

        Thanks. I saw that over the weekend. Looks promising.

  • love2buy on 15/04/2016 - 12:20

    Very similar specs to my lg g pro 2 that i'm holding on for 2 years at about the same price as well.

    • fryandlaurie on 15/04/2016 - 12:30

      Benchmarks show it performing just as well as the S6 actually in most aspects.

    • Unrvl on 15/04/2016 - 12:44

      to be fair, its double the speed of your lg g pr 2 (snapdragon 800)

      • bbcw1980 on 15/04/2016 - 13:31

        and the battery life also double……………………..

        • Unrvl on 15/04/2016 - 16:42

          @OzSikhs: i believe dual active, but the second one must be a nano sim.

      Lol I am not destroying my SIM card to do that. But if you do try, use the ethanol method.

      • cureforanitch on 15/04/2016 - 16:54

        I did that with my Huawei mate 8 and it worked. Dual sim and 200gb micro sd! Will never be able to take them out though as I'm pretty sure they're stuck in there now!

        • IJustKnowStuff on 15/04/2016 - 17:16

          Did you box cutter it or use ethanol?

        • cureforanitch on 15/04/2016 - 17:46

          @Spectator: melted off the plastic from a nano sim, trimmed the sim contact a little, aligned and then glued to the back of the sd using nail glue. Google "s7 dual sim hack" for another guide

  • gembel on 15/04/2016 - 12:35

    is it better specs than Galaxy Note 2?

    • fryandlaurie on 15/04/2016 - 12:36

      Yes. It has a comparable processor to the LG G4. It just depends on whether you like MIUI or not but it's quite good so far.

    • Unrvl on 15/04/2016 - 12:46
      +1

      the CPU scores higher than a Galaxy Note 5. so yes its much better than your note 2.

    • angelkulit025 on 15/04/2016 - 12:48

      galaxy note 2 is already ancient at this point in time.

  • dajackal on 15/04/2016 - 12:46

    My LG G3 is on its way out and was hoping to grab the LG G4 for ~$370 during the next Kogan sale. Or should I get this one instead? How easy is it to flash the global ROM?

    Seems like a great phone for the price. Just a shame about the camera.

    • angelkulit025 on 15/04/2016 - 12:47

      whats wrong with the camera?

      • dajackal on 15/04/2016 - 12:48

        Reviews say it's pretty average so I'm expecting it'll be a downgrade from my current LG G3

      Global rom can be flashed using the official MI flash tool or you can ask for an unlock code from Xiaomi and wait a few weeks to get it. With that you can also flash a AOSP ROM (sans fingerprint scanner support).

      Camera samples:

      http://thenextweb.com/mobile/2016/04/08/xiaomi-redmi-note-3-…

      Good for well lit conditions. Noticeably noisy in low light compared to high end cameras. There might be further software fixes for the camera though as it is supposed to be quite capable.

      5x doesnt have a micro sd slot, has a lower ram and lower camera mp compared to this so it's a no brainer =)

      depends on your budget, if don't mind spending $400 vs $270 for a pretty similar product lol

      • iChopstick on 15/04/2016 - 14:08

        Well the 16GB version is going for $314 currently on eglobal. 4G specs also includes 700MHZ (Band28), so possibly the H791 version.

        • Pacify on 15/04/2016 - 14:22
          +2

          Ah. Then so its basically $100 more (for 16gb vs 16gb). Really depends on how much you want band 28 I guess, the Note3 has a better battery and screen, but other than that the specs are fairly similar, though the nexus has Marshmallow which is a big plus.

          Actually, the lack of a SD card on the nexus makes it non-viable for me

        • Ronnnie on 16/04/2016 - 07:48

          @Pacify:

          The nexus also has support for another couple of years. Doubt this see android n, let alone android o. Which a nexus 5x will. Though most people are scrapping their phones after 12 months nowadays. So you probably prefer the bigger battery and not worry about the missing band. 😎

  • dajackal on 15/04/2016 - 13:11

    Is this a customized ROM loaded on by the seller to support english, that might prevent users from upgrading to official ROMs?

    • venu on 15/04/2016 - 13:36

      I believe it is locked bootloader with official ROM. If not, its unlocked bootloader with custom ROM which can be easily flashed back to official/AOSP.

    Is this eglobaldigitalcamera seller generally reliable?

    I was about to just bite the bullet and buy the phone from vickmall (due to the consistent good reviews) even though it's more expensive.

    Hi all,

    Been looking to upgrade from my ancient Galaxy Note 2 (flashed with CM13 aka Marshmallow). The bloody phone loses connection intermittently throughout the day (also happened under the official Samsung Kitkat ROM). I often miss important calls/texts.

    Currently considering between the Redmi Note 3 pro or the Galaxy Note 4 (not 5). Am I mad to even consider an older phone? I bought my gf a redmi note 2 and have flashed the global rom on it. Miui shouldn't be an issue for me (though I prefer the cleaner presentation of Marshmallow).

    Cheers.

    • Pacify on 15/04/2016 - 13:58

      Huge difference in price, depends on how much you want to spend.

      For $270 though, the Note 3 pro is almost unbeatable
