The 4x - http://www.techadvisor.co.uk/review/android-smartphones/xiaomi-redmi-note-4x-review-3658711/

The price/worth is up to you.
They are €130 to Ireland from many suppliers (on aliexpress mainly). Add vat and handling (shipping can be quite fast 5 days-2 weeks from Dreami, Fantacy, HKGoldway)
€130 + €30 + €7 (handling an post) = €167 delivered

The link you posted
Ebay (realistically direct to Ireland) 5-7 working days £10 = Nearly €200
Ebay to UK 2-3 days + PM/PW/AP is roughly €4 + 1-2 days = Roughly €190

Those prices are for the 3GB/32GB Global version in Black.

The prices in China are no longer as competitive as they were. But in this instance i did not check.
You should always treble check on Amazon and other Eu websites for a better price.
There are a lot of Eu price checking sites.

Anyone any opinions on this?

Went into the DHL tracking this morning and was told to contact them with address information
I had already done this
So I ring the call center he said located in Dublin . they had my correct address there. Apparently my package was sent to DHL Shannon by mistake and they had no detaiils. Such a rigmarole

Anyone buy a xiaomi note 4 from eBay from Ireland or uk seller or similar as looking for one quick thanks

I ordered one from Honorbuy on Sunday evening. Received it yesterday morning.

It's updating to Android 7 as we speak. :D

Here's the route it took, less then 24 hours from pick up to delivery... http://www.dhl.com.hk/en/express/tracking.html?AWB=7112711266&brand=DHL

I'd say if you ordered one early enough, you'd have it the next day.

Anyone have any thoughts on this http://ulefone.com/products/t1/features.html
Never heard of the brand before but it seems that you get a lot for your euro

steven087

Went ahead and purchased the note 4x on eBay on Wednesday morning €190 including the postage to parcel motel. It's in Northern Ireland now so will have by tomorrow
So not bad going. Hope it's a decent phone now my iPhone 6 went bust making the leap to andriod.

Hi lads

Any phones out there as good as if not better than the Samsung s7 for half the price?

Dropped mine and can't stomach forking out a fortune or getting into contracts

Got my mi max 2 this morning. Love it

Considering the Redmi Note 4 as a replacement to my dying smart ultra 6.

Would those of you in the know recommend this? What's the camera like? Mixed reviews on-line. Would an alternative app improve it? Would this be a good choice for one to work straight out of the box? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Have one and have no reason for complaint with camera. In low like its not fantastic but there are setting that improve it greatly

Bangood were just the first result on Google, you might get it cheaper somewhere else, make sure its the global edition.

Thats the cheapest price according to Kimovil

Was waiting for a global version of the xiaomi 5X but this is tempting

I like it but I have had a 6 inch before so kinda used to it.
Its very smooth
Only downside I can see is when downloading an app you don't see the usual bar and time left
Also notification light on mine works when it wants
