    Currently have a Redmi 5 plus that's nearing the end of its lifespan and want to replace with a sim free phone.

    Intend to keep the phone for a few years so was looking for a global model with 5G and available through an EU warehouse.

    Looking to spend about 250-300 but might be able to stretch it.

    Any suggestions?

    The Mi Mix 3 is probably your only option at the moment. It's on Eglobal for €300

    Thanks for that. Any ideas if there any releases due soon or anything a bit more expensive worth looking at?

    Looking at the Mi Mix 3 5G myself. Looks a great phone, and has NFC. Have a Pocophone F1 at the moment and love it. Wondering if the 5G network is decent in Dublin. Live in D14 and work in city centre.

    not really .

    that's pretty much the only 5G phone under €500

    it's a good powerful phone

    Nearly sure the Mi 10 is 5g. Still waiting on a global release date though and it will be 500 upwards.

    This k30 Pro one will be worth considering if / when it becomes available over here

    I've a poco F1, and I've been eyeing up the K30 pro. Suppose I don't NEED a new phone...
