    Good deal. Can you do a bundle deal on the Grey which includes case and tamper screen protector? Like the Gold package B

      I didn't think of that. I'll ask.

        Any news on the bundle including the case and tempered glass screen protector?

      • nanoronline on 08/09/2016 - 04:15

        Does the case included/ the cases you sell even fit the extra 2mm length of the RN3 Special Edition? The description for the listing still shows 150 mm tall instead of 152 mm. The speaker holes are taller so cases for 150mm regular RN3 won't work.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 08/09/2016 - 10:42

          Geekbuying said that they fit.

        • angelkulit025 on 08/09/2016 - 10:45

          @Clear: Clear, are you going to source out a bundle with this phone? Tempered glass and case? thanks

        • nanoronline on 08/09/2016 - 15:19
          +3

          @Clear: if it is just for Redmi Note 3 and not specifically for Redmi Note 3 Special/Taiwan version then it's not going to fit. Fit as in not stretching the case, covering the mics, and partially covering the infrared, headphone jack, and micro USB port.

        • spongetom on 11/09/2016 - 23:09

          @Clear: I have a special edition (Kate) with a standard Note 3 Pro (Kezno) case. It doesn't fit without seriously stretching it. Holes don't really line up. Is there any chance you could follow up and see if cases are available for this? Even just a simple "pudding TPU" case would be fine

          @stephendt: check my latest comment in this post, I found a suitable case that's for Kenzo but loose enough to fit Kate

    Looks like a banging phone. Pity no NFC. Getting more and more likely my next phone will be a Redmi phone though. :O

    • IJustKnowStuff on 07/09/2016 - 20:18

      It's about AU 242.43 (Converted on their site)

      • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 07/09/2016 - 20:21
        +3

        I wouldn't use the site conversion.

        According to Google 175.99 USD is 229.47 AUD.

        • Rail Rider95 on 07/09/2016 - 22:06
          +1

          Except most credit cards will also charge a conversion fee
          So unless you use a few free card, like 28 degrees or Citibank, it's likely that the site conversion will be a similar price anyway

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 07/09/2016 - 22:09
          +2

          @Rail Rider95: I think Paypal take like 2 or 3%? You'll need to have the card to set up to use it's own conversion in PP too.

          Good time to take advantage of these 2 Coles deals.

          Google shows the spot price. The banks and credit card companies exchange at 'their' currency price, and add an additional 3% conversion fee.
          Often we end up paying around 6% more than the spot price as consumers.

          @kostanza: That's why cards mentioned by Rail Rider95 and myself should be used for international transactions so you don't get any fees.

      Yeah my son has the redi note 2 and the build quality is great, am thinking of this as an upgrade for him for the band 28 support …only issue is does the 2nd Sim support 3g4g or only 2 G as 2g is starting to closing down at the end of the year ……so is thus a single Sim phone in 2017 ?

      • kwchaz on 08/09/2016 - 09:19

        I did a quick google and some posters seem to think you can use the second on 3G? :/

      Please include both the $US price & the $AU equivalent (if space allows) approximated in the title.

          I'll add the approx, but Geekbuying won't accept AUD and the final amount will depend on your payment method.

  • IJustKnowStuff on 07/09/2016 - 20:17

    I thought the version with Band 28 was called the Special Edition.

    • dingdong3000 on 07/09/2016 - 20:19

      I thought it's the Taiwan version :/

      • IJustKnowStuff on 07/09/2016 - 20:22
        +1

        Which is call….drum roll please….. "Special Edition".
        Unless I've missed some announcement?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 07/09/2016 - 20:22
      +6

      Special Edition, Global Edition and Taiwan Edition are all the same. It's just easier to say Global Edition as it has greater 4G support than any other version.

      • IJustKnowStuff on 07/09/2016 - 23:56
        +1

        But I have a Global Edition that doesn't have band 28.

        • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 07/09/2016 - 23:58
          +1

          Then it wasn't the Taiwan version. Likely a Chinese phone with the Global ROM.

        • IJustKnowStuff on 08/09/2016 - 00:51
          +1

          @Clear: That's my point exactly, you're advertising this as having Band 28, but calling it Global version. But the Global version is just the Snapdragon (SD) version and DOES NOT have Band 20 & 28. The "Special Edition" has the extra bands and is 2mm longer. Your description calling it GLOBAL and the listed dimension (150mm) show that it's just the normal SD version.
          (Prove me wrong and I'll remove the neg)

          @Spectator: I see your point now. I've updated the title and description to say Special Edition instead of Global.

          @Clear: Ok, but for the record I'd still be hesitant to purchase from the title on your actual site. (If I needed to buy one)

          Not targeting you, just that there's been a history of multiple sites listing incorrect specs, so always good to be cautious.

    Dear rep,

    Sorry to hijack this thread (just in case you are not monitoring the other one) but I ordered this phone in gold in combination with case and protector package on 2/9/2016 and paid for DHL shipping.

    Got an email today that package has been sent out by registered mail and will be 15-30 days in delivery.

    Can you look into it? Sent you a PM.

      Thanks. I've passed it onto customer service.

          @Clear:

          To everyone responding to my post, and to the rep - my sincere apologies. It looks like I made 2 purchases with Geekbuying on the same day and forgot about the 2nd minor purchase (that I did not pay for DHL postage). The email I received is related to the second purchase and not for the phone.

          Regarding the phone order placed with DHL postage - checking the login status still has it at payment confirmed (processing).

          Again sincere apologies to Geekbuying. I am happy to be punished for the mistake :-)

    • gembel on 07/09/2016 - 20:59

    These are great prices, but I thought you guys could have come up with SD 652 version of Mi Max instead of SD 650 version of Mi Max. Or this is because there is no Official Global Version of SD 652 Mi Max?

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 07/09/2016 - 21:29

      Yep. I could probably still get it discounted though.

      • salem on 07/09/2016 - 23:05

        Is there a grey 652 edition? Because everywhere i look all i see are gold and pink phones. Which i am not keen on ( i run all my phones naked, as god intended. So fixing it with a different coloured case isn't an option).

    • Balls on 07/09/2016 - 21:33

      the SD652 version cost substantial more than the sd650 variant though, would be nice to see deal on that!

      • [Deactivated] on 07/09/2016 - 21:57

        Yeah, that would be nice. SD 652 is nearly fast as SD 810 and it is A LOT more power efficient than the SD 810 which was plagued with overheating issues. It must be 32GB though, there isn't any Global Stable Rom for 64GB/128GB.

        • nanoronline on 08/09/2016 - 04:21

          Yup, and only the 64GB/129GB come with SD 652. It looks like either they'll take a long time, or not at all, to release a global variant of Mi Max with SD652.

    • Fishwhisperer on 08/09/2016 - 10:39

      No, I do not think so. My Mi Max purchased from Everbuying a month ago had SD652 Octa-core 1.8GHZ processor with 64G ROM. It is running on MIUI Global 7.4 Stable system based on Android 6.0.1. Unfortunately, MIUI 8 only support to MI MAX 32G version, I have not got MIUI 8 available to be downloaded for my phone.

    Ordered the grey from Geekbuying for a friend on 25/08 during the presale. Paid for EMS shipping (7-15 bus days quoted shipping time). It was shipped 02/09, received today in regional Vic. Although the EMS tracking is still not showing up. Anyway, took longer than hoped to ship (still within their specified 7 business days - it was no longer showing as presale, but knew stock was not coming until 30/08), but pleased with the fast shipping. DHL to here would have been ridiculously expensive (I think $85 or so?), but EMS was definitely well worth the ~$11.

      does EMS delivery pass onto Australia Post to send via Express Post?

        When I last used EMS (~8 months ago) they did once it reached Australia.

        It says eParcel. I just had a look, I wasn't home and it's not for me, but it has an eParcel sticker on it and has a couple of DHL stickers on it too. Still says EMS Speedpost.

        I can track it from here (not much detail, just received/departed facility): http://www.speedpost.com.sg so it must have been EMS shipping, but I guess they must use DHL and transfer to eParcel. DHL charge $30 extra to deliver to here because it's rural according to them (within Express Post network). Maybe DHL gives them a discount rate because they're just giving to AusPost, so no going to addresses or worrying about redeliveries etc? Anyway, I'm not sure how it all works. I'm just guessing. But the stickers on it are DHL and eParcel.

        Also seems to have shipped from Singapore? I thought they were shipping from Hong Kong.

          Pretty sure it is shipped out of Hong Kong via Singapore post. (Which means your parcel was shipped from HK to Singapore, then from Singapore to Australia.) Quite a number of HK and Chinese sellers do that for 2 reasons: Singapore post is more reliable and also because of varying policies of shipping batteries via Airmail.

    Can we not get Mi5 International Edition with 64 or 128 GB memory in built. I am after a phone which has both - more memory and also dual Sim functionality. Not either this or that. Thanks!
