  It might be targeted. The link doesn't point to the price storm promotion. Shows $446

    I got the price storm email for the X3 pro 8gb 256 for $315.

    Go from this page https://www.banggood.com/marketing-saver-deposit-sale/tid-28…
    It lists all saver deposit sale items

    it's not targeted - there was an issue with the OzB link field truncating the last part of the URL, which gives you access to the saver deposit sale. Link fixed now. Needed the "&deposit=1" added to the end.

  Great phone, great price.

  Obligatory warning about VoLTE and VoWiFi being problematic on Telstra - no 4G calling could mean no phone calls when 3G is shut down.

    I guess that's common in Poco phones. A friend has X3 NFC n using boost (Telstra retailer) n VoLTE doesn't work for him.

      I'm using Poco F3 with Boost and have both 4G and VoLTE enabled. I'm on Arrow OS and never tested it on stock MIUI.

  I recently got the Poco X3 and just as a heads up for the custom ROM crowd, you have to wait 7 days to get your bootloader unlocked. Pretty annoying, but better than not being able to do it at all I suppose.

    Good option as MIUI quality has taken a hit with 12.5. There's some videos on YouTube about it with bugs and all.

    Overall, has gotten a lot smoother for me on 12.5 but still changes itself in the settings to 60hz at times. Also frame drops in the UI here and there.

    Seems to be a recurring theme for Xiaomi, they eventually sort out the bugs but then with a major release like .5 or 1.0, the performance goes down the drain again.

      12.5 breaks all my google apps and apps using underlining google services. I'm waiting the bloody 7 days to flash a previous version.

  Bloody amazing phone. Great price. I have one. Hands down.

  $377 for the redmi note 10 pro as well. Half the processing power though just to get a bit better camera.

    litoria on 02/07/2021 - 11:05

    banggood had note 10 pro for $338 last week, might be worth waiting if you want it

    • 

      Duff5000 on 02/07/2021 - 11:52

      The camera is decent but the phone is barely faster than my now older Redmi note 8 pro. I think ill just get the poco f3, the camera isn't as good but it isnt bad either.

  I got oppo x2 neo from the previous deal (still in box), do you guys think it's worth returning it and order this one? The specs seems much better, but oppo comes with 256gb 12gb and 2 years local warranty.
  What do you guys think?

    Better camera with OIS and tele but significantly slower processor. I wouldn't be worried about the ram, anything over 6 doesn't seem to make much difference now.

    I guess it depends on how important the camera is to you.

  I always confuse with the NFC… is it included or not?

  It says NFC Yes but then mentions that it is market/region dependent so I am so confused.

  Update: Ordered one but never received. The local courier (PFL Logistics) is a scam. Check their google ratings.
