Xiaomi Mi5s International Edition Quad Core 2.15GHz 4GB RAM 128GB ROM

Hi all - I am in the market for this phone and just wondering if there is something else I could be looking at for the price?

If I do go ahead with this phone I can find it for $382.12USD (approx. $498AUD) Delivered from Yoshop with the following basic specs:
MIUI 8
5.15 inch
4G Phablet
Snapdragon 821
Quad Core 2.15GHz
4GB RAM
128GB ROM
Fingerprint Scanner
12.0MP
Rear Camera
3200mAh Built-in

Geekbuying seems to be down (and has been for the past couple days) which is where I usually see the cheapest prices. Does anyone have a better price than YoShop at the moment?

TIA

      From Goldway on AliExpress.

      • Yeah that seems to come a little cheaper - $366.74USD delivered. The colour is rose gold but that's not a big issue for me. Thanks for the reply!

  • GeekBuying haven't been down at all this week. What are you getting when you try and visit?

    • This is what comes up when I try go to geekbuying… Thoughts?

      • Interesting. I've passed it onto GeekBuying. Have you tried a different browser and device?

        • Have tried IE and Firefox only at this stage. Has been doing this for the past two days for me…

    How about this , less on memory but has ceramic body

    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Xiaomi-Mi5-Pro-Mi-5…

    • is there that much of a difference to go the Mi5s? Is it worth spending the extra $100USD for the Mi5s?

    • Wow. Good price. I'm gonna have to seriously think about this one. Cheers.

    • I really can't justify the extra $100 at this stage either… Really good price! Thanks for sharing.

    • Your link says that "Sorry, this item is no longer available!"

      • Yeah it looks like they are out of stock now. When I looked at them earlier today there were 4 left in the Silver and 8 in the gold.

  • Personally I like the one which is $100 lower , apart from 821 SD processor instead of 820 sd can't see much of difference as RAM is 4gb in both and so is camera set up.

    And the ad on YouTube for ceramic body for MI5 pro is pretty impressive

  • So funny enough I didn't end up getting the above phone. I ended up getting the Xiaomi Redmi 4 pro

    With 3% cashback rewards it comes down to about $150usd (approx $196AUD) - I paid the extra to get DHL express shipping.
