Xiaomi Redmi Deals & Offers

I have silly Billy question.... Does Argos or JL price match?

The Mi 6 and 6A are really bad phones with cheapened components and poor quality specs. I really regret buying mine. Paying £95 or £130 for them is very poor value, particularly when much cheaper elsewhere. COLD.

Heat added! Cool deals!

Some are, but the mi band 3 for a tenner bundled with a 6a at £95 ain't bad.

prices look a Tad expensive

Thank you, will hang on...

Pocophone a lot of phone for the money, flagship specs at a great price. Plus this isn't much of an upgrade compared to the note 4 but the pocophone is great for the price and you'll feel the difference.

Upgrade my note 4 for this or save a bit more for the pocophone? ps nothing wrong with my note 4, going strong for 2 years now, would like a bigger screen, as seem to using it more and more for watching media and youtube.

Thanks for sharing.... PS Heat added. Stunning price for a pretty amazing phone.

This or keep my G5? One feature i cant live without is the 3 tree wide angle camera lens option on the phone for work. Does this have one too?

but you might as well post it to the moon and have a better chance of hassle free repairs :D I think as long as you know the potential risks it's fine but now that Amazon and ebuyer are selling these for about £20 more it seems almost pointless taking the risk of a chinese seller - and I recently did buy one of these from eGlobal and so far had no issues.

Nope.

Comes with a 12 month warranty on all the above, buyer pays postage back to seller. A parcel to China is £10-£12 on parcels 2 go.

the above should be written as standard on ANY deal posted here where the vendor is Chinese

Remember as with all Chinese sellers like Gearbest/Banggood/Aliexpress or even on Ebay - you have effectively NO WARRANTY with these imports. This is the gamble you take when you try to save a few quid. Secondly don't expect any of the phone shops in town to be able/willing to fix these phone, they won't and even if they wanted to they will not have the spare parts.  If you want your phone to be serviceable then stick to mainstream brands, Apple, Samsung etc.

Be careful. I just got this and it’s 16gb/2gb, not 32gb/3gb as advertised.

Picked one up a few hours ago to run the till system at the toyshop; I have been warning the boss all year, that her Sony phone bluetooth was dying, but would she listen?; today it started jamming everything and had to be switched off - just before the Christmas fete started and the customers started flooding in through the door. You now have the option to refuse Google services on the phone - although that means no Google Playstore for apps.

This phone is only 2gb/16gb

This is why I expired mine 👆

Mrswitch posted this a few days ago< but expired it because Argos have probably mixed up the description with Redmi 6. See explanation here<. Their description also says dual camera but Redmi 6A is single rear camera.

16GB

£100 at the three store but have to top up £10

I'm selling a note 4 for £100 if your interested :-)

Links?

I've still got the Xiaomi redmi note 3. Still going strong.

Build quality of this phone is very good, it was $400 dollars when it first came out and promoted by Ronaldo. Price quickly came down because it was overpriced for the spec but it's a good phone apart from the camera and you can put Lineage on it to update it.

I've got this phone and the battery life is amazing. Good build quality as well. It is possible to put Lineage 14 or 15 or RR on it (see XDA forum) but the battery life is not as good. Real downside is the camera, very grainy night shots. (Also no NFC)

I had a Nubia z7 max before. Started well but became the most frustrating phone to use. No software updates and I could barely load any apps despite having a good CPU. The headphone socket gave in after a while, as did the micro USB charging port. Despite initial good impression of design, I wouldn't recommend the brand.

I had one of these. Perfectly good phone - great screen, great battery, decent spec, decent build quality, somewhat old version of android. Black one cost me £97 last year. Reasonably warm I'd say!

No Android One. Likely very old Android security update. Combined with China phone? Probably best to stick to Xiaomi.

Hot for phone, cold for AliExpress. Would not come before new year and then customs hassles.

probably better for chrismtas or BH deals. Never know how much the battery has been hammered in these second hand phones.

£268 is the best currently, @ Ebuyer

Got a Link? Looking at honor 10, but best I've seen us Argos at £270

Yes I thought so. It was a good deal yes as Honor 10 is normally around £270ish price.

My daughter has this phone and it's been great. Does everything an 11 year old would wan't. It's also had several recent updates and now running the stable global version of MIUI 10 with no issues to date. Don't get the 6A it's worth paying a few quid more for this model. PS. Size wise it's about as big as you want for kids who take their phones to school.

Is there no guarantee on these like ebay/gearbest china sellers? If that is the case probbaly better to wait mi a2 lite deal from amazon/cpw/argos. if you do want a better phone in this price range check out the meizu m6 note https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/meizu-m6-note-global-version-3gb-32gb-snapdragon-625-xiaomi-redmi-6-competitor-9849-aliexpress-3126818?pprmrkntfctnsrd=144968590&UATypeId=7

i wont bother buying from them I thought I risk ordering a phone from them and its been 8 days and tracking still says hong kong Departed Operations facility – In Transit nothing since opened a paypal case because I read load of bad reviews where they avoid from giving refund even when gone missing but I see if it turns up next week and hope its not faulty as I after wait extra 10days with paypal to decide

Okay, pulled the trigger on this one. Thanks, heat added!

Yeah, it'll be Global Version but it might not say that on the box. Eglobal are based in Hong Kong and have been known to send the Hong Kong retail version because they have UK plug inside the box. However Hong Kong doesn't use the red "Global Version" sticker on their boxes, but the phone itself would be identical. I think that's the reason why Eglobal don't state "Global Version" on any of their pages.

Cheap chinese junk is cheap chinese junk.

Note 5 is better. The only reason to pick the A2 over the Note 5 is if you want to use the Android One operating system. They are extremely close. You won't go wrong with either to be honest. Most people recommend the Note 5 though.

I bought one from Gearbest. Dropped it and the screen shattered despite having a glass cover, I bought a replacement and this cracked on fitting. Either I am having bad luck, or the screen is the achillies heel of this model.

Xiami A2 or Note 5?

How does compare to a Moto gTs plus or moto 6?

That's a first, Sam & Loving in the same sentence! (highfive)

Sorry thank you just check you included the links

Thank you very much for your information do you have any links thanks

Redmi 6 Pro is only sold in China and India. There is no official Global ROM and the India ROM< is not compatible with China Version since they have different codenames. You could flash Xiaomi.eu ROM but read this<. Redmi 6 Pro has anti-rollback so you could hard-brick your device if you aren't certain of what you're doing. Global regions have the Android One counterpart, Mi A2 Lite instead so I doubt Redmi 6 Pro will get official Global ROM in future.

Where the NFC lovers at?

Ordered for Christmas, cheers :D

Any good?

LOL the one I ordered yesterday just turned up now. Result :)

It might not even last that long, mine kept slipping off. (lol)

I know, but I was just getting to fill a 24 hour gap. I think that would have sufficed to be fair (lol) (lol) Still, at least he will have some nice cases :)

Get her the £155 note 6 pro looks like an iPhone !

Lol, I'd love to see her explaining to her mates she has a xiaomi, and my mam got the idea off hot UK deals. Haha

So s9 way ahead.. My daughter wants a Samsung or iPhone but that's to keep up the jones' at her school so in debating whether to get this and she'll have to lump it :)

Not very close. If we're honest, but there is a £300-400 gap

How does this phone compare with the Samsung s9 camera wise?

Why the cold? Have some heat!

Which it does. Launcher wise I wouldn't be surprised if they adjust it so on first boot during set up it asks what style you would prefer.

Yeah I currently use nova which of course is great and I've tried Poco launcher but I'm thinking it would be nice to be able to activate phone and to coin a phrase "it just works"

Can get the nfc and if they sell well in the UK maybe they will start adding nfc As for the app drawer install Poco launcher (xiaomi) which is designed to be like stock android launcher. Or Nova if you prefer.

I can't argue with that. (y)
