    looking at various phones and looking for opinions, so who better to annoy then the members of boards :D

    the 64gb variant of the mi3 is very appealing at the price point

    or what would you buy so say 300?

    Add €60 if you can and go for a OnePlus if the screen isn't too big. After than, the Mi3 is one of the best at that price point, I'd recommend mine to anyone

    Just trying to find reputable seller now as I have seen price vary by near 40 on some sites

    But mi3 dies have all the features I want good camera and CM development as well for future

    Thanks for reply I do see the one plus as a alternative just didn't know of others to be fair

    Xiaomishop.com ships from Europe and a few guys on boards have used it. There's a user here by name of Tantranka I think is how he spells it, he was selling his second hand after a few weeks usage. I'm not sure if he still has it.

    On AliExpress any of the sellers with a high rating should be good, if you have any issues they will help you out as they like to keep their rating up

    I think the Nubia Z7 Mini trumps it specs wise and price wise in some instances. Better camera too I'm led to believe

    Price is similar between them, and the Mi3 has a slightly faster processor, its negligible.

    Personal preference really

    Not too sure about that, its close but I still think its trumps it, dual sim, 4g enabled, expandable storage.
    Still very good phones whatever you go for. Think I was seeing the Nubia for about €240 when I was looking at it before

    Much smaller battery on the Z7 Mini.

    Good points, I forgot those.

    Mi3 is 2.3Ghz, Nubia is 2.0Ghz, so its a marginal difference

    Exchange rate has sunk recently, checking last night, 16gb Nubia was about €300.

    As you say, both very good phones
