Xiaomi Redmi Deals & Offers

Ahh, great stuff @Graham35 , no problem, glad it was of help to someone, hope it all works ok! Gives me hope, although Vodafone can sometimes be a bit iffy when forcing VoWiFi and it doesn't always work (annoyed)

I think these days, most networks only 'officially' support certain phones. But it's usually enabled or able to be enabled on most contract plans. And often if a phone supports vowifi or volte it's easy to turn on in some way or another. OnePlus phones for example can be easily enabled and it seems many Xiaomi devices too. But they don't all play nice, which is the problem... but like you say an open solution would be preferable.. although I'm sure the networks wouldn't like it!

Bought the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro with 128 gb just 2 weeks ago! Is it worth swapping for £30 more?

Trustpilot is a scam. Incredibly unreliable - they allow companies to pay for good reviews and those who don't often get misleading poor scores. For example John Lewis has two stars there. Tecobuy are on ebay I think - at least they were. Might be worth checking their feedback. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-7549909/Can-trust-Trustpilots-reviews-firms-dont-pay-it.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-43907695 https://www.seotraininglondon.org/can-you-trust-trustpilot/

hi notinthislife, I followed the link regarding wifi calling and entered the code for wifi calling *#*#869434#*#* and it activated my Redmi note 6 Pro, I also activated my wife's phone (also a Redmi Note 6 Pro) and she is with 3, we are going to test it out tomorrow as she is on pay as you go and will show charges per minute she uses if the wifi calling is not working, whereas I am on a unlimited contract with EE and obviously does not show call charges. She will be at home using our wifi, whilst I shall be at work with out any wifi. I will report back at let you know how it worked out, if it works ok then ...thanks for the link PS....... I did have to enter the code twice on my phone before it changed, how to check: settings - sim cards & mobile networks - EE (my provider) - Make calls using Wifi (turn on) - Prefer Wifi (y)

Yes, sorry!

To this?

Worth upgrading from a iPhone 8?

Thank you.

It's back on the 2nd June again click on ' Daily Picks' you will see it there

On Jeff's junk shop now too - Green & White Note 9 Pro - £249 No freebies :(

Yup, me too. Side finger scanners are the way forward imo

Yeah definitely, to be fair I think the Mate 20 Pro was one of the first mainstream phones to have an in-screen fingerprint scanner so there have been a lot of opportunities to improve the technology. Ultrascan fingerprint scanners are better, but personally I prefer the fingerprint scanners on the power button placed on the side of the phone, far easier access to unlock the phone compared to almost guesstimating and getting used to a spot on a plane of glass.

Yeah, two thumbs help, but comparing side by side with 7t there is no competition, which is why I'm using the 7t as my main phone.

I noticed with the fingerprint sensor, if you set two fingers as one fingerprint it scans faster (also a good tip for other phones with in-screen fingerprint scanners). With the face unlock it’s annoying despite the infrared 3D unlock capability, I am usually having to refresh the facial data every month for it to work effectively.

Not sold on website...where u seen this.

Only black available in Mi store but deals now live

Can't see it. Will look again in the morning

Theres a £10 coupon on the front page somewhere, valid on any order over £69

How so?

Possible but unlikely since the 6/128 version appears to be backordered from the same seller and no new reviews in a week.

I ordered it yersterday, I will post back when it arrives.

Has anyone actually ordered this and it arrived from Spain within a week?

Had the same problem, make sure it is set to dollars and UK at the top right and then use a fee free card to purchase after inputting the code provided on here

Why is it saying can't ship to UK address

Official xiaomi chargers you'll struggle with, but most QC 4.0/4+ chargers off of Amazon will do the trick.

Where can I buy a UK charger for this that supports there 30 watts charging switchy :D

Another positive on top of the big battery is that the Note 9 Pro supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 4+ https://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/files/quick-charge-device-list.pdf (y)

I haven't got the snapdragon one to compare, but MediaTek generally thought to be inferior, however this particular one in the 8 pro is well reviewed. Seems reasonably efficient as well, although the snapdragon is 8nm compared to 12nm the MediaTek, I believe, which usually means better efficiency. I think recall @MrSwitch stating he would usually choose the equivalent snapdragon if choosing between the 2, but I may be wrong.

Better camera as well

Not for around this price off the top of my head unless you want to get an older model like the mi a2 Lite etc.

I don't think phones get that much smaller these days - I'd like something about 4.5 - 5 inches but it seems impossible. The fashion is for giant phones - it seems a long time ago that some people thought my Ericsson P910i was too big.

Are there any decently priced phones but with a smaller screen? I have a note 8 but I'd like to get a faster but smaller screen for around this price.

I meant volume when holding the phone to your ear. I almost never use speakerphone as its too difficult for me to understand.

Back on topic, be warned that I bought 2 of these 2 weeks ago from Amazon, both will lose audio via the speaker and earpiece at random. From any app or standard phone call. Need to be rebooted a couple times a day. It's not usable, as the sound can go mid mid call, that's a deal breaker, what if it's a vital call? Same bug was present in India in 2019 and a patch rolled out. How is the big still present?!!

Very very very good. I got 12hr and 13mins yesterday from 83%. I have battery saver on all times because that's how I am with every time. And on WiFi all day. The camera is brilliant also. Macro lens is ace and the overall photo quality is striking for a £180 phone.

When you say battery is ridiculous,do you mean good battery life or bad?

Got this phone yesterday. It's a terrific phone for the money. Can't believe what I'm holding sometimes. Don't get me wrong. It does what every other phone does (no NFC) and it does it well. The battery is ridiculous and the screen is nice. It's a massive phone. Feels like a £400 phone at least. Great phone Mr switch. Thank God I saved £230 giving back the oppo.

Hi i'm trying to buy this phone but its only giving me price in euros. How do i workout price in pounds and how do you get fee free price? Thanks in advance

I paid £120 from Ali express just going through customs :( can't wait

I've had 2 full refunds from Amazon in the past 5 months and been told to keep both items. One for £17 for wrong colour of boxer shorts received and another for £36 for Levi 501s sold by Amazon that where fakes.

Brilliant. Thanks dude 👌ya a star

Phone arrived this morning. Seems to me like its quite alot of device for the money. I had a Samsung A71 but sent it back due to various issues. Yes this lacks the display of the A71 but i really don't have any issues (as of writing this anyway!!) with the display on the 9S. Just to note it did arrive with an EU charger but a quick message to amazon customer services and i was given £36 in credit to order a UK fast charger of my choice. Obviously it's early days with the device but all seems well for such a budget device. I have to also say, the fingerprint scanner on the power button has been excellent. The A71 was really struggling (for me anyway) in that department.

This then, my wife has this and loves it.

She just wants a phone.. Dropped her last 2 in the toilet (lol) 🚽

Indeed, sold by a Chinese seller and delivery up to a month, the one in this op comes with 2 year warranty and from a uk seller. Obviously your choice.

Am I right saying this is the same and is cheaper at this link? ebay.co.uk/itm/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-9S-4GB-Ram-64GB-Rom-Dual-Sim-Interstellar-Gray/174244333561?_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20180213162448%26meid%3Dc9e6773618004aaa829b9e081a402292%26pid%3D100930%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D283876073101%26itm%3D174244333561%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2332490&_trksid=p2332490.c100930.m5375 Obviously different colour if you don't mind gray!

Very helpful, thank you very much lol Anyone else?

Thank you! You too my friend :)

You are truly kind and the amount of time and efforts you put into your deals and vast knowledge is what makes your deal worth checking, keep it up and happy bank holiday and stay safe!

Had enough of the Redmi's.... I want some Bluemi's!

Wasn't the K20 Pro released as the global version Mi 9T or Mi 9T Pro? I don't remember the exact details.

Do you have to pay customs duty and VAT?

Yes! XD

Can you get the Chinese rom and download Global rom on to it?
