    What date did you submit the order? I ordered on the 16th and mine is "dispatched to overseas".

    Sir D

    Ordered and paid for on 19th July. Paid approx 6 euro extra for DHL. Got a flip case and screen protector from same site. arrived yesterday 26th July. Had to pay 39 euro customs etc.

    Still, a mighty phone for about 240 euro.

    Good luck.

    I didn't fork out for DHL so it makes sense, hopefully I don't get stung on customs either.

    Redmi Note 4 with customs now. Shipment confirmation was on the 11th.

    39 euro for customs? Not so bad - means it will be 175 or so.

    Any reason not to get the doogee mix 5.5 over the redmi note 4 global edition 3gb Snapdragon. (I have a redmi note 4 already buying this as a pressure)


    Seems better but doesn't have a Snapdragon.
    Am I wrong? Can't post URL for some reason. :-/

    Just reading the last few pages on Xiaomi.
    I am looking at a note 4x global version which has the Snapdragon 625.
    How is this phone any different to the note 4?

    Appears to be nothing at all per comparison websites.
    I'm looking to buy it off Goldway with DHL which would include customs?

    The snapdragon redmi note 4 global and the 4X are the same device. But the first option has more bands. Which is why the RN4SD is the recommended one to get for use in Europe.

    Ok thanks.
    I'm also going to buying the redmi 4 and I'm presuming it's the same story with the 4X and the normal 4?
    Also I guess I should buy this with the Snapdragon 625.

    Now try to find the best price

    It is the other way round for that device Redmi 4X has the extra bands compared to the Redmi 4

    They don't half make it confusing.

    I've seen a few Doogee Mix handsets being sold on Adverts, makes me wonder why such a recent phone would be getting sold on.
    It looks interesting but I'd have to see since two world, European reviews to see what it's like as a primary phone.

    Two of the three on Adverts are shops, the other got an S8.

    I got a Xiaomi Mi6 last week from Goldway with DHL and no issues. Took a week from order till I had my phone in my hand.

    I wouldnt buy any chinese phone for friends family that arent quite nerdy. Nearly all have some quirks which is fine for the regulars here but a midrange samsung makes a hell of a lot more sense for the aul wan.

    My mother has been using her Xiaomi for the last year with no problems what so ever, I have no problem recommending them. Father had been using a honor 5 (I think) with nova launcher to make it look a little more like his old Motorola

    I do understand what you're saying about them but I don't think Xiaomi are the worst, especially if you stick to reliable roms

    I would like to connect my android phone, to my android / Windows 10 tablet. Is this possible ?

    I would like to root the phone, and don't have access to a PC, just the tablet. They both have only mini usb connections.

    It supports OTG so with an adapter you can. Fortunately its full blown windows and not RT junk.

    Thank you very much:) Will order an OTG cable. Got a basic Redmi 4x, and although MIUI is ok, I'd love to try something else.

    No the article says that the 2nd pic is believed to be fake, not so much the actual device.
    I'd imagine its in the pipeline and more info will follow.

    A bit of tracking weirdness for my Redmi Note 4 from Ali Express Eternal Team.

    27th - Arrive at destination country. Item received. Customs clearance in progress.
    29th - Hand over to airline.

    Seem a bit weird. Has anyone seen anything like that before?

    Got away with showing revenue an old banggood receipt, so custom charges aren't that bad.

    Note 4 arrived. Should I flash this or leave as is?

    If it's the global version, I think it would be fine. Unless anybody knows of any better Rom.
