Xiaomi Redmi Deals & Offers

Not full HD Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

All phones are getting biger. Tbh it's thin bezels make it feel like a 5inch older phone..

In after one for my daughter but I think nearly 6 inch screen will be too big for her hand and just get dropped and broken.

No problem. I spent a while looking too, I don't need anything super fast but was impressed by my Note 4, also have a 4X but screen colours don't look as good as the Note 4. I don't think I have had mine dispatched yet (edit, they are packing for dispatch soon!), I have seen some other people say their order get stuck processing so hopefully I will ge it. I bought the 6 just because it's newer really.

Zek. Thanks for the heads up on this deal, I have ordered 2 of these after giving a lot of thought about the note 5 and this one. I decided on this as it's a newer model and therefore assume it will be updated for at least a year or so, I am OK with the notch and the larger screen and its only cost £5 per phone more than the note 5, and ordered it on Saturday so I missed today's price hike. I'm aware that the note 5 price may tumble over the coming weeks, but I've spent too much time checking out the prices already, in the end time becomes more important than the money. Thanks for the helpful information supplied by the others on here Cheers (highfive)

Does anyone know how to stop Google Maps working on the lock screen? I just want it to work like normal apps (in particular, because app overlays don't work on the lock screen - so TomTom alerts only works with Google Maps when the phone is unlocked) Thank you :)

Haha! No idea, I'll edit!

ebay.co.uk/itm/Mofi-Rui-Series-Faux-Leather-Flip-Case-Cover-Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5-AI-Dual-Camera/173557288944 Mofi case from Switzerland. Looks original but can't be sure. Admittedly not the most inspiring looks, but does a good job of protecting the phone, tpu surround and steel plate over the screen.

Arrived today, 8 days and no customs, cheers op.

Both the same size, checkout the mofi ones on aliexpress, quality cases.

Arrived yesterday but I wasn't in, picked up today from local UPS drop of. Pretty good goin I'd say, bonus of no customs!

Redmi Note 5 (China/Global) is physically the same as Redmi Note 5 Pro (India) so cases advertised for either will fit. Many listings will say both "Global Version" and "Pro" in the title.

Or more specific :

A Samsung

What's a Zatos?

Are you being a moron on purpose or are you that ignorant of the smartphone industry? Waiting for your "what's ignorant?" reply.

Sorry to hear that. We've three xiaomi phones in the house and haven't had any major issues. I know it's no consolation but maybe you've just been unlucky and got a dud one.

Try resetting the phone back to factory settings first and see how it goes it seems unusual for all your problems to occur on a single phone unless it's been for a swim in the bath, my Xiaomi has been superb. Personally I wouldn't chance sending any phone back to China because of the high risk of them saying they have not received it.

Thanks for the advice, sending the phone back to Ali express anyway. Volume and power buttons playing up now! Keeps adjusting the volume on it's own and cant turn the screen off with power button. Put me off this brand already.

I'm not sure if this is going to address the issue but it could quite possibly be one of these things. A. An SDcard compatibility issue. For example the brand, type or speed might not be suitable for the phone. Or B. You might have an SDcard that is faulty. Don't waste your money on buying another in the first instance. Try swapping for another of the closest capacity to the one you are using and load less stuff on it and see how you get on. I have to confess I'm not an expert but I had a similar problem and it was solved by changing the SDcard. Good luck.

Yea, sd card. Got 25gb of it. Didn't really wanna clog the phone memory up with it.

Don't forget the 4.8% Quidco thats almost £7 in cashback. Also be sure too add insurance and European direct mail too even though it says 7-25 days I know for certain it will take about a month that is what happened with Redmi Note 5 636 model.

Mind you think it has the same hardware as the s7 camera.

Much better answer

https://www.mi.com/en/verify/#/en/tab/imei found that site to check what phone you have and if its legit

Great price for the spec. I'm new to Xiaomi. Does this have led notification and does it run 'vanilla' android or a skin... If so good/bad?

I've no idea, really hope they don't start using those processors in other phones. The 636 in the note 5 should be a winner every time

That's what put me off the Note 6. Why did they use Helio?

Snapdragon all the way I say. Unless it's the huawei Kirn, then we have a challenger.

It isn't better.

Is the Helio chip better than the 450?

​redmi 5a is also different depending on global/China 6a has a lot lower battery life compared to 5a definitely due to mtk processor

That's normally the case. I think the Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 are the only ones with this kind of difference between China and Global Version. Not sure why considering that the Redmi 6 Pro announced at the same time has dedicated microSD for both China Version and Global Version (Mi A2 Lite). Likewise for earlier phones with dedicated slot such as Redmi Note 5A and Redmi S2.

I thought the only difference between the global versions and non were the software and or LTE bands or memory. Didn't realise they were physically different too, so confusing...!

Thanks, OP! This phone ticks a lot of the boxes for what I need on a back-up phone. (y) Gearbest state..." ALL prices listed on GearBest exclude taxes, import fees, and customs duties. Customers may be subject to these fees." Any idea what this might cost, or if it can be avoided?

instead of xiaomi bought bnwb htc one m9, for 75 quid. 3gb ram,32gb.

Updated with slightly reduced price

About 3-4 days if memory serves. Very pleased with the phone. A lot of tech for not a lot of money.

Does it say it shipped within Eu on the postage tag on the package?

I ordered mine on the 3rd Oct mine was the same processing for around 16 days, rgen Friday I got email to say it was being packed and yesterday, 21st, to say it was shipped and would be delivered by ups on Monday!

After 16 days still shows on their web site as "Processing". Can they be serious, is it a con, or other ?

Got the same email at 4:09am this morning! :)

Thanks for this, gives me hope that I will get the phone, hopefully I will receive something shortly from them then! Will post when I do!

Think I picked the 5-10 days option. Just got this email Thank you for shopping with TobyDeals. We are currently packing your order and it will be leaving our warehouse shortly! Please find your order invoice below. Once your order has left from our warehouse, you will be receiving a dispatch confirmation email together with tracking number for your reference. It may take up to 48 hours for respective courier to update the status of your shipment on their website. I'm used to waiting up to 30 days. But opened the dispute as they didn't even say it was dispatched.

I bought this recently from eglobal received in about 10 days. I must say this is the best phone £120 can buy. Camera, apps, UI fluidity etc are excellent and of high end standard (eg Iphone 7s or Samsung s7 edge)

Just tracked mine started in Hong Kong it's now in Dubai. Only bought as thought it was from UK and wouldn't have to wait this long (ordered on 4th Oct)

My delivery states via 13Ten citipost any good ?

How long does delivery take usually? There tracking seems generic the same as everyone else...anyone had any issues?

Yes, normally. When they dispatch you'll get the UPS tracking number but nothing shows up for 3 or 4 days, then the day before delivery the tracking works.

They could have at least put type C on this, as it is I think RN5 makes more sense as it's basically the same but cheaper.

First off the redmi note 5 pro is a India only model and only supports 2 UK 4G bands. With regards to this and the global version of redmi note 5 the only differences are 1 a bigger screen 6.21" note 5, 5.99" 2. This has a notch 3. Different screen ratio 19:9 note 5, 18:9. 4. Brighter screen this is 600 nits note 5 is 450 nits, 5, this has dual front camera 20 Mpx +2 Mpx the note 5 single 13 Mpx. Other than that same snap 636 same rear camera set up and same 4000 mAh battery

Confused .com .. Is this better than redmi note 5 pro?

I have bought 5 phones of this seller and the last 2 got picked up by customs the charges were £5 VAT and £8 Royal mail charge so £13 both times the seller marked value was $45

What about custom charges?

Never heard of this one before, thanx. :-D Just checked the site on my phone, and everything is in U.S. $Dollars, is there a way to change that into the UK £Pounds Sterling equivalent? (as the 'alternative' is not showing on my phone), thanx. :-)
