I've had my eye on this phone for a while now and this is the first time I've seen it under AU$500.

Customer reviews and photos appear to indicate this is the "official" global version which comes with EU charger/Global ROM and sealed English packaging….

You can also grab a seller coupon to save another couple of bucks and don't forget about 5% cashrewards.

I've already taken the punt (DHL shipping) and also purchased the following tempered glass screen protection (XDA peeps seemed to like it):

I don't know how long this price will last but I guess it's a holiday special and will be good for another day or so until Eternal Team are back from "Tomb Sweeping Day" vacation :)

Edit: price went up around lunchtime then dropped back down at around dinner time (8/4/2018)…. deal was expired then unexpired appropriately :)

    Perhaps the price is coming down because of the Mi Mix 2S?

      A$830 with 30-40 days shipping (and that's supposed to be DHL!). Doesn't seem to have band 28 which is the desirable one right?

      • downbythecreek on 07/04/2018 - 08:29

        I bought my wedding ring from aliexpress and it took like 11 days even though shipping time said 60-80 days. That lead time must include manufacturing time.

      In case you missed it though, no B28 on the 2S. It's got a lot less bands actually.

      • garage sale on 07/04/2018 - 09:05

        lack of all australian bands and no australian warranty to me relegates these china droids into don’t pay more than $250 …… if people are talking $500-$600 you can get phones locally with support and all our bands eg office works axon 7 $360, LG have also done a price drop.

        i bought my son an A1 ….$230 on ebay, but he is 11 years old , so if it breaks he can make do with an older one until replaced, and if he has no coverage he can tether off my phone.

          Where can I buy the axon 7 for $360?

          Seems like it's out of stock everywhere or massively overpriced where it is in stock.

      • jay510 on 07/04/2018 - 15:12

        The 8gb 2S has band 28 and I think all other bands that we'd need in Aus. But yes, the 6GB doesnt have all the Aus LTE bands.

        see banggood. I had a better source somewhere but I seem to have lost it.

        • Alzori on 07/04/2018 - 16:44

          Ah, that's an interesting point. I feel like it makes things unnecessarily complicated but I guess Xiaomi have their reasons.

      If you use DHL it takes between 26-34 days which costs US $14.44 (AUD $18.81) or Ali Standard shipping takes between 38-59 days which costs US $1.92 (AUD $2.50)

    • 18 on 06/04/2018 - 21:57

      where can you get the Mix 2s for $590?

    • DBW on 06/04/2018 - 23:41
      +5

      The RRP in China is roughly equivalent to AUD$ 660. Resellers will definitely add another $200 - $300 on top of it. Most likely the cheapest Mi Mix 2S you can get in Australia at this time would be AUD$900 and that's for the normal specs model. Higher specs one (8GB+256GB) will definitely cost you around AUD$1100.

      Thanks for the find altomic. I don't have an AE account so not sure if the coupon is a code or is automatically applied at the checkout. If it's a code, then cashback may not be payable even if you get a tracking email as there aren't any codes which are currently listed on CR;

      Cashback may not be payable if you use a coupon code that is not listed on this site.

      You will be risking US$18.35 if it is indeed a code you're using, so please keep this in mind as you may not be paid any cashback via CR (or any other site with the same terms).

    Good price for great specs. However it looks like it may take a good couple of months to receive it.

    AliExpress Standard Shipping: 38-59 days
    DHL Express: 26-34 days

    Not sure how a 3-day holiday can add an extra 3 weeks to express post, but here we are :O

    • liquornoodlescabbage on 07/04/2018 - 07:31

      Yeah can someone else comment on whether this is just an error. Because from what I heard people who use DHL get it within two weeks, is it because of a massive Handling Time or something?

        I've found everything I've purchased from Aliexpress (regardless of seller) has come much much quicker than the posted time. I've bought maybe 50 things there over the years and nothing has even taken the minimum advised time.

      • datafellows on 07/04/2018 - 11:35

        Package is "smuggled" (or transported some way whatever) from China to HK by some unnamed courier and in HK DHL receives it. And it may take few days for this.

      but yeah not sure how much better this one is, im guessing this is their flagship… i suspect the note 5 is the better value

      • albert0pia on 07/04/2018 - 09:13

        Don't you mean the Pro though, the one with dual cameras? The non-pro variant has the old Snapdragon 625 SoC. About the camera rivaling that of the Galaxy S7, that seems highly unlikely.

        • desync on 07/04/2018 - 09:35

          could be the pro, theres a decent video on youtube from techtablets who compared the two.. its pretty close, better dynamic range but worse in lower light conditions, it's pretty close

          heres a link which i admit i haven't watched, i watched his review of the phone which only covered the camera for a breif period

          The Chinese Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 (non pro) has 2 cameras with Snapdragon 636. The Indian Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro is pretty much the exact same thing as the Chinse Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, but with more ram. The camera is really comparable with the Galaxy S7 from my research!

          The Indian Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 which is the device you're referring to, has a single camera with Snapdragon 625.

          Really confusing names considering they're both called Xiaomi Redmi Note 5! Just different regions = different specs and camera

          Yeah I bought the one with dual vertical camera similar to iPhone X. Bought the 64gb version for AU$300.

          Screen size is very similar to mi mix2, processor is newer but lower class (I presume its like i5 vs i7).
          Other than that, mix2 don’t have any significant advantage on paper. That’s why I’m asking if anyone know the difference.

  • rodinthink on 08/04/2018 - 23:59

We need to wait till all models are released and specs are correct online for each model if you want Band 28 in Aus.
