Xiaomi Redmi Deals & Offers

Haha - I understand that it must be frustrating experience for you to wait long hours in your black 2001 reg VW Passat for passenger drunk enough to pay £30 pounds for 3 mile trip. And yes - you are better type of man (can't really use german word Ubermensch because it contains word you hate most :) ) just as other pocket rippers waiting with you in a Hackney Carriage queue. Now seriously - area I'am operating is pretty much entire North East England - 4 large cities Newcastle ,Sunderland, Gateshead and Durham and all area between them. I think its close to impossible to know every single street name. Of course it's easier for you as passengers finding you and can quide you all the way. Last thing - if you don't like private hire - DON"T USE THEM - and save us your crying on website not dedicated to it. Bye

What a stroker

why is this cold?

Out of interest, how many hours sat nav would you get until the battery went down to 50%, tia

That's you told then , oh hang on these days sat navs/Google maps inform you about traffic jams etc so perhaps they are helpful after all.

At top of page select Ship to United States / USD and select ship to UK and currency GBP

I want this phone but @ checkout it's in dollars will it convert to pounds when it shows up on my statement? thanx in advancev 8)

Yes the sim card tray has a second slot for either a microSD card OR as second sim card. So,provided you don't need 2 sim cards you can extend the memory. If you need to use 2 sim cards and a micro SD card then look at the larger 5.5" screen Note 5A - this has dual sim tray and a separate micro SD tray . There are very good deals on this phone on Gearbest at the moment - fulfilled from their EU warehouses ( so quick delivery and no customs fees ). I bought the Rose Gold colour for £71.94 delivered from France ( gw-6 warehouse )

Can you extend memory ( external) on this?

Remember to add the dispatch time on to the shipping time . It shows it may not dispatch until May 6th ( which usually means they are waiting for stock) , then shipping could take 12 days . So you could still be looking at a month before you receive it ( longer if customs stop it ).

The problem is, I like to work one handed and both are probably too big. The Redmi 4 Prime is my current device and does look quite a bit smaller: https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5,Xiaomi-Redmi-5/phones/10754,10753#/phones/size/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5,Xiaomi-Redmi-5,Xiaomi-Redmi-4-Prime/phones/10754,10753,10349 I'd quite like to see something in 18:9 format with the same dimensions as the Honor 9 Lite...

Sorry My Bad here is the Link for Global Version £116 ;) https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Global-Version-Xiaomi-Redmi-5-plus-5-99-inch-Full-Screen-Smartphone-Redmi5-3GB-32GB-Snapdragon/2178148_32849939759.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.58db1e3aqjp7Gz

That one in your link is not global version it is chinese version with global rom flashed no band 20

true Plus is £116 ... normal one is perfect size, good price but poor screen and 2gb Ram (I have 3gb model and have around 1 to 1.1gb free ram when I shut all background apps.)...Trusted seller if you ever decide to go for a Plus https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Global-Rom-Xiaomi-Redmi-5-plus-Smartphone-Redmi5-plus-5-99-inch-18-9-Full-Screen/32844338473.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.54nRyA

thats exactly what I wish but again its 2018 720p is not good enough... due to bezel size Plus is not really that big :) you can see the comparison from this link https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size#/phones/size/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5,Xiaomi-Redmi-5/phones/10754,10753

Mine goes blocky. On mi mix 2. Honorary view 10 perfect. Mi goes blocky just rotating screen

I have a xiaomi MI 6 and a redmi note 3 and have no problem mirroring unless the streaming source is bad use it quite often to watch live sport through mobdor

Does WiFi display mirror go blocky on this? Like every other miui phone

You must be lucky or an imposter selling for AliExpress.. Most people like me are not.

That flash sale just keeps on going! The phone has actually been as low as 106 quid recently and as much as 145. Got to time it right lol. A LOT of phone for the money, no Band 20 but has NFC. Camera gets v positive reviews. PS, yes, exact same phone! https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-sharp-aquos-s2?gclid=Cj0KCQjwn-bWBRDGARIsAPS1svvOFe_hNulwJ8F3Z6_LqHAN3tfwXxoBvrwOY0lKHGYpMnn4qJFENR0aAijlEALw_wcB

People have an issue with it because it doesn't help any of the 'less-savvy' members whatsoever to have a disgrunted person shaking their fists at people saying they've had a good experience with a company. Maybe we aren't paid shills, but actual customers too?

I would say it's very arrogant of you, constantly slating every company you have a dislike for. Your preemptive insults to anyone who has received good service are getting boring. When you're challenged you disappear and pop up on the never thread. I have always had good service off gearbest, I've never been paid or received anything free or reduced. I don't see Amazon with a customer service rep on hukd and they've let me down a few times. No doubt you'll pop-up on the next thread. Here's a suggestion, why not try to help the new members of hukd (the ones who've never posted or contributed before having a problem) before they come here looking for a solution, never to be heard from again.

Shame its the 2/16 i'm looking for the 3/32 in black for sub 100

Thanks

I buy mine from here for all my phones excellent quality and full coverage with no halo effect https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Redmi-5-plus-glass-Mofi-for-xiaomi-redmi-5-glass-9H-for-xiaomi-redmi-5-plus/2405041_32845955002.html just make sure you choose the redmi 5 not the 5 plus

OK, Calm down. Some folk don't know and some do know and think it's funny to wind people up because some people like to make a big deal out of Band 20. It's often difficult to know the difference. Band 20 is a 4G band used by all UK networks to some extent, but O2s 4G network relies on it entirely, and therefore tesco and giffgaff as well. If you have an O2 sim and no B20, you're not getting 4G.

Well, whatever band 20 is I guess I have lived without it so far and I have loads of money and spend all summer abroad on holiday, so if you do know, perhaps I should feel sorry for you. 2 ands in a sentence terrible ain't it. Am out of here keep your little secret.

Tbf, I don't know what band 20 actually is either, but after reading all the posts about it on hukd, I DO know that if my next phone doesn't have it I'll probably die a horrible death. :)

That's how I feel when people say "but you still get 3G".

Pop group from the 80's.

I ordered the 5 plus with a mi band £140 middle of Feb it was in the uk 17 days later and has been returned to sender i have to wait another 5 days before the order is cancelled before i can get my money back

Yeh apparently They have got Stricter a few months ago , before it was random picking parcels,. Now they are taking time checking all or if not most of the parcels.

Ordered two of these the last time they were on offer and one arrived a couple of weeks later, after I collected from the post office with a £12.85 customs charge, and the other one has been in the UK since the 8th. Never had this with any of the stiff I've ordered from China before :/ Anyone else had any similar experiences lately?

In daylight the camera is fine, it's low light where it suffers.

Got my Note 4X today - really nice handset. Camera is nowhere near as bad as what I've been reading - Mrs compared it to her Huawei P9 and my LG G5 and thought it was better. Mi Remote is awesome 8)

This is the redmi 5 plus not the redmi note 5

I don't understand how anyone has this handset? If you've got the Redmi note 5 with band 20 global rom even though it's still pre-sale.

It could be APN settings either ask your network provider for the APN settings they sometimes send these to the phone or they will tell you what they are Once you receive APN settings then choose New APN option .and fill the entries according to your network service provider. Or you can search online for your network providers APN settings and do the same hope this helps

Great phone....but having trouble connecting to mobile data? Selected mobile data in settings but still not connecting...cleaned cache...any ideas?

Does this have Google apps/Play store pre installed?

Thanks, ordered!

For the sake of £25-30 get the Note 4. Bigger battery, better processor and screen and more internal storage.

I rang PayPal last night and checked both PayPal and Amex account balances, I think the 29% discount wasn't applied. Just strange that when I clicked PayPal confirmation to pay, it said £75.70, but the receipt email from PayPal said higher. Thanks for getting back to me though, I'm sure it will sort itself out...

People will probably scoff, but I've found gearbest to be very good. Might be worth mailing PayPal as well though. Also, check what's actually come out of the bank account.

Yes, I'm sure. The Gearbest confirmation email says $103.67. The PayPal email says £104.58. I had 76p in GB points and added £2.12 for insurance. Gearbest have said they will refund me $39.54 when I get shipping confirmation. I'm guessing the 29% wasn't taken off but was a little concerned that I didn't authorise the higher amount with PayPal.

decent phone - the wife has it but this "deal needs at least £5 adding to it as postage is not free

I do have the stock ROM given by the phone company, but even after formatting the virus returns after a week, installing what looks like kosher apps without my permission. I've changed my google password, setup 2FA, got AV installed, have apps from unknown sources turned off. These is happening on two phones used by two people bought at the same time. I'm at a loss how to stop it so looking for a new phone now.

No, they were a subsidiary company of Doogee. Which is why i'm still tempted by these deals, but would have to go with a more reputably phone like Xiaomi.

Often introduced when the supplier flashes the Chinese Rom with a so called global Rom Better to get a stock global Rom

I'm guessing the two with viruses weren't made by Xiaomi though?

Yep. Typically Xiaomi phones are 16gb ROM / 2gb ram, 32gb / 3gb and 64gb / 4gb.

Some shops say the Redmi note 4 is 3gb, others 4gb Ram. Does it come in both variations?

Mine one works perfect as well.

My redmi note 4 has issues with screen too. Although it wasnt cracked and touch still worked the display had gone. Now the phone is completely unresponsive except the red blink on right top of the screen when on usb charging mode. Thats all. I contacted Xiaomi but they wanted me to send it to Poland as the warranty is still on. I am concerned for the data more than the phone itself but they want me to wipe all data and send it. I would like to ask, have you done the screen replacement yourself? If yes can you recommend a link where I can buy a replacement screen as i am planning to do it myself. I am concerned to buy the right one as note 4 and 4x are quite similar. Thanks

Apart from calls i primarily use my note 4 as a sat nav,and it has yet to let me down

Don’t stress, man. The A1 is better and you’ll have more storage and better camera. Having said that there has been better deals in recent weeks, perhaps that is what got you thinking about it then you took the plunge at £144 which isn’t bad! I’m waiting on the mi mix 2s.

I just paid £144 for a Xiaomi a1 (horror)

Might get this for back up phone

Can anyone paste the link? tracking.publicidees.com isn't opening for me. Ta.

Yes but it's coming from the Far East as well.

Thanks

Ordered 7th, delivery 28th, Sorry for delay in answering, been setting up my new phone :D

When did you order?

Good price, mine arrived yesterday, had it for 119

This one's cheaper at ~£105: m.aliexpress.com/item/32849939759.html?trace=storeDetail2msiteDetail&spm=a2g01.11194122.f9b7798.7.3b3049d7qQ3IpC

Got the rose gold one from below for my parent. Received today, it's not sluggish at all and seems very sufficient for an average user. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/xiaomi-redmi-note-5a-4g-phablet-global-version-rose-gold-2gb-ram-16gb-rom-snapdragon-425-6937-plus-498-expedited-shipping-from-poland-warehouse-so-no-customs-gearbest-2922371

Has anyone received theirs? Just wondering if it's sluggish. Looking at it for my parents, similar specs to my huawei vibe but much cheaper than the £120 I paid 2 years ago. The Huawei runs on Android 5.1 but I'm worried the Xiaomi won't run its OS well.

It looks like most options are out of stock, the only combo available comes up at about £75

Can you provide a link please?

There is a template online of a legal letter that says you do not accept their handling/admin fee, as you have not agreed to this, but of course are willing to pay the customs tax. Just fill it in, and email off. They wrote straight back to me and said no problem (y)

Thanx, I just recall some on here also making mention of the fact that certain Xiaomi Redmi 5 Phone's were having 2 SIM Card Slots + 1 MicroSD Card Slot - as in 3 independent Slots within the same 1 Phone (as opposed just the 2 independent Slots again - like that of what the bulk of the Phones come in these day's). I've only of a Blaze Phone (I believe I've got the Phone make right), that's sold as either Contract or as Pay & Go on the Three Network has the 3 independent Phone Slot compartments, etc? (and the Doogee X5 Pro Phone from China), outside of that, I personally haven't heard of any again with that 3 Slot compartments thing again?. I was just hoping they'd hopefully be an additional other somewhere, that's all, etc ...

according to this sellers specs https://xiaomionline.aliexpress.com/store/group/Redmi-5A/2178148_512371568.html both the redmi 5A global versions have the independent micro sd slot made up of sim card 1 + micro sd tray and a second independent sim 2 tray (slot) Whilst his original xiaomi redmi 5A is the Chinese model with hybrid slot of 1 sim + micro sd card or 2 sims

Hahahahahahahahaha, thanx for that. I was STILL getting that ignorant/infamous Spanish site nonscience. :-( But, I then changed it (via AliExpress's 'Menu Options'), to English, and hey presto!, ENGLISH ... hehehehehe. And yes, I hear you on that whole AliExpress Spanish bulk crud thing too many, lol, and for real people, Deal for AliExpress.com in future only please?, lol. ;-) I reckon I'll join you in a cuppa too me thinks?, hahahahaha. Ps. Which version of the Xiaomi Redmi 5 (non-Chinese) Model's has the 2-SIM + 1 MicroSD Card formation please, do you know?. :-)

Aliexpress has multi-language sites as below AliExpress Multi-Language sites Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hebrew, Polish Now if someone posts a deal from a discount code site like KIMOVIL which is predominantly Spanish, and use the supplied link it takes you to the Aliexpress Spanish language site, and of course the page is in Spanish. Now you can translate the page to English but it does not translate all of the info. And more importantly the page link address is still link to the Spanish language site, so when you use that link for the HUKD deal link, when members click on the get deal the page comes up in Spanish. Now you can select the go to global site which is in English on the top right of page,it takes you to the aliexpress home page and you have to search for the page you were looking at in Spanish, and if it is a mobile phone it is a pain in the a** to find but until you do that and use that global site page address link as the HUKD deal link then the deal link will keep going to the spanish site Also once you have accessed one of the aliexpress Spanish deal links on HUKD (or anywhere else probably) then on a desktop pc every time you access another HUKD aliexpress deal it keeps coming up on the Spanish site somehow it remembers you accessed the Spanish site the last time and keeps sending you there. now what i posted above is what i found i had to do to get out of the Spanish problem this applies to using a desktop pc, i dont know about on a mobile like your link but anyway here again is what i found gets me out of this Spanish site problem First of all shut down any aliexpress pages you got open except one now on that one on the top right you should see go to global site click on that and it should take you to the home page of global site in English now use this link and hopefully it will be the right page in English aliexpress.com/sto…tml what i have found is once you access a page in Spanish it always comes up in Spanish until you go to global site and all other pages in Spanish shut down. If members posting deals from the Spanish site look for the same deal on the Global site before posting on HUKD it should then have the English link address wow i'm kn******d know time for a mug of teeee

For some very weird reason, after viewing these supposedly non-Spanish links as follows: As well as your very own 'self-help' link also: All I got out of both were simply an m.es.aliexpress.com link instead (every time!). :-( What the hell is with that stupid Spanish thing?, isn't the majority of these Chiinese sites (BangGood, GearBest, TomTop, etc etc etc and the like?), predominantly in English anyway? (so what's up with the Spanish thing for in the first place then? - I don't get it ... ) Or am I missing something?, lol. I was intrigued by you guys whole 2 SIM + 1 Card Slot (instead of 1 SIM + 1 Card Slot) discussion ... lol. Which Global version Xiaomi Redmi 5 (non-Chinese version thanx, lol), comes with BOTH the 2 SIM + 1 Card Slot (3 Slots in total) formation/format?, thanx. As I'm considering getting a Xiaomi Redmi 5 at some point, and if I can get one that also doesn't compromises on it's internal 'Slot formations', then all the better! (icing on the cake and all that ... ) :-)

I think its just for the Apple customers (cheeky) Still looks like start of May for dispatch of the Note 5..

Pay £7000 for the privilege of delaying the delivery of my phone, doesn't make logistical sense ;)

O2 only have band 20. The phone will work but 4g data would not. Would you buy a 3g only phone or advise others to do the same? https://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/

I'm not going to stop carrying my wallet and would rather not replace all the micro usb leads i have so these aren't deal breakers for me
