Bought the 64gb there, gamer20 code worked. Serious bang for your buck

scottigael · 17-09-2020 3:06pm

Thanks OP POCO20 just worked, will replace my POCO F1 which is still ticking along. Wouldn't accept my revolut which was annoying but have it sent to parcel motel.

Trying to order one using parcel Motel but it keeps telling me "phone incorrect."
It's looking for a UK number?

Just came in to post this - having the same issue.

podgeandrodge · 17-09-2020 3:23pm

how would it compare to, say, a REdmi Note 9 Pro?

I did parcel motel no probs.

entered PM number in first box for building number etc

repeated it in second line and the 1 McKinney road etc
it auto filled Newtownabbey

all good. £179.

Still not sure whether better than Redmi Note 9 pro I was thinking of getting for a relation, but it seems good.

This is flagged as top specs value buy in recent times as per various sites....120 hz screen nails it tbh with bigger battery and 4 cameras.

taytobreath · 17-09-2020 3:48pm

all codes are gone.... ffs

Roberto_gas · 17-09-2020 4:02pm

Expired !

Mad_Mike · 17-09-2020 4:05pm

Chigz Tech reviews has just popped up an initial review and also added it to his Android phone charts, where it ranks beside the Pixel 4A

He doesn't have the Redmi Note 9 Pro on the list, but it seems the Antutu benchmark of the Note 9 Pro would place it about 2 places higher than this

Link to his Android phone charts
Amazon have it listed also, but it's not available until 24th and costs £20 more for both models

Do you need to enter a UK address and phone number for delivery.?
(Is there an phone number for Parcel Motel in Antrim?)
The GAMER code is not working now

MarkR · 17-09-2020 6:08pm

I have the phone in front of me, it's a bargain. :-)

Ordered one just now, thank you.

podgeandrodge · 18-09-2020 9:51am

I got this for a relative who needs a new phone, and I was considering getting a Note 20 Ultra (currently have Redmi Note 8 pro) on a contract.
But thinking of going with this for a while now and moving to 48.

Is it stock Android ? And what version ? Thanks !!

It's Android 10, MIUI 12.

Thanks - not familiar with MIUI - is it pretty OK ?
I have an Honor View 10 currently and Huawei have some pretty aggressive memory management that wreaks havoc with my Amazfit watch - it keeps killing the connection (even with it being told not to)

MIUI differentiates from stock more than several other skins, so it's best to watch a video/review or two to see if you like it. All personal preference of course.

podgeandrodge · 20-09-2020 9:32pm

Anyone know with the X3, can you use Sim 1 for calls and Sim 2 /microsd slot for data or vice versa?

Yeah, can do on the Note 9 Pro anyway.

Both my Xiaomi phone have that facility so expect this one is the same

SIM management setting has toggles for calls, texts & data IIRC

MarkR · 21-09-2020 10:34am

The micro sd card will only fit in one place, so while you can have a sim and a sd card, they're not interchangeable. Sim shows as being in slot 2 with the sd card in slot 1.

MIUI isn't bad. I use a third party launcher, but the poco launcher is pretty good now. Google discoverer integrated into it.

ooter · 21-09-2020 10:55am

Can anyone recommend a good sd card for this phone or does it really matter?

taytobreath · 21-09-2020 5:27pm

just got an email....dispatched!!!

The Ayatolla · 21-09-2020 6:39pm

MiUi is decent once you disable the ads (needs to be done in 2-3 places ) and uninstall all the junk game apps.

Looks to be a 60Hz panel driven to 120Hz, not a real 120Hz. Pass.

22-09-2020 9:42pm

What do you mean by that? Does the display not refresh 120 times per second?

Ha ha...it has to go up from 60 to reach 120 hz..any proof before people claim its fake 120 hz display ! reviewers dont lie

Have they slowed down dispatching phones now, I ordered on 27th November and hasn't dispatched yet, sent support an email yesterday but no reply. Has anyone got a phone number for them, I tried the 1800 , can't get through, maybe I should try 0044 1800.
