    Posted this in the Xiaomi 9 thread, but I guess makes more sense to post it here:

    6GB/64GB version for €342.99 using code NEUABONNIEREN delivered in Germany.
    https://www.tecobuy.de/de_DE/xiaomi-...r-schwarz.html
    Use mailboxde.com to get it delivered for around €14.

    I pulled the trigger 2 weeks ago on Mi9 SE 128GB Blue on Banggood - out on delivery today with GLS - hoping it will be home after work! Went against the advice on here about Banggood - but the price was €306 delivered using code: BG5M9E2

    Cant wait to unbox it!

    I've been looking at some Xiaomi phones on Amazon Germany & Spain. They tend to have three different options Fr/De/It , UK & International.
    What is the difference & which one should I choose. Thanks

    If you are going to use the phone in Germany , then choose De .

    My wife needs a new phone. Previous phone was redmi note 4 so I guess the 7 is the way to go. Reviews look decent - any feedback from here?

    I see posters saying eGlobal sent the phone pretty quickly, I'll check them out.

    Thanks, they look good and the additional cost looks to be more or less the same as what customs would charge for a phone shipped from China.

    Good deal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,211 ✭✭✭✭Suckit


    Good deal
    I thought so, EU warranty etc. included.
    My friends oredered one, and it arrived on Tuesday and he went on a stag on Friday. While in the shower before going out one of mates came in to talk to whoever else was in that room, sat on bed and phone :eek::(.

    EU warranty will cover a lot, but not that.

    Hey folks
    So, my son had a redmi note 4 which was quiet good, I have a redmi note 5, which is great only I've cracked the screen, so the plan is to find a decent quality screen for the right price & try fix it for the missus :p
    For myself, I'm planning on either the redmi note 7 or the Mi max3.
    Any thoughts on fixing the RN5 & which phone to buy for myself :D

    cant help with broken screen but im using the MI Max 3 for over a year now

    and all i can say is WOW!!!!

    some bit of kit


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46 Paulmc.


    Over a year....:eek: I'm outta touch
    Looking at it on Honorbuy but it's out of stock atm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭bodonnell


    Check out www.sunsky-online.com for replacement screens & lots of other stuff.
    Got a screen for rn5 recently & managed to fit myself but not a very tidy job for a first attempt.
    Anyway, you will pick up a screen for less than €20.
    Used a rn7 for a while also, very good phone for the money imo.

    Order the screen with the frame attached for your phone simple fix then no glueing or messing about

    Have to say - if you can stretch for the Mi 9 SE, it is an exceptional phone! I;'ve never really bought flagship phones before. Had a RN4 myself and now on the Mi 9 SE - no comparison. Its actually a better sized phone for your hand and because of low bezel, the screen size is better - great camera, exceptionally fast. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

    I got from Banggood for €309 delivered - delivery took 2 weeks, but worth the €50 odd savings.

    How long does Honorbuy usually take to deliver?
    Gonna get the Mi9 SE for herself. Presume I'll need a different plug as well as it looks like it comes with an EU plug, rather than UK jobbie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,140 ✭✭✭✭GBX


    Usually 2-3 days. Not sure on the plug. Could be either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,453 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Any orders I've got have had the two prong plugs, but the USB cable detaches so you can use it with any other charger you have.

    Got a phone from them last week. Ordered on the Wed night & it was delivered on Fri. Two pin plug with a usb connection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭Tazzimus


    Nice one folks. I'll grab an 18W plug off Amazon as well later on and that'll be her birthday sorted.

    Help me to decide:
    I had a xiaomi note 4x before, that was stolen so in need of a new phone. I would have replaced it depending on the next upgrade.
    Have my eyes on either the xiaomi note 7 or 9t. Battery is really important to me, camera too, but happy with the quality of note 4x, besides in low light settings. I mainly use the phone for apps like YouTube, WhatsApp, Google maps or surfing. No games.
    I fail to see how with my habit the additional 140 euros for the 9t make sense, although I prefer the notch less design.
    Anything I am missing?
