pretty damn cheap
update on K3 bands thanks to Kasula who wrote to the seller and sought feedback about the bands

Seller: Hello, we just checked with official customer service of lenovo. This is the correct frequency. FDD-LTE: 2110-2170MHz/1850-1880MHz/2620-2690MHz TD-LTE: 2570-1920MHz/1880-1920MHz/2300-2400MHz/2555-2655MHz WCDMA: 2110-2170MHz/1930-1990MHz/869-894MHz/925-960MHz TD-SCDMA: 1880-1920MHz/2010-2025MHz GSM: 900/1800/1900MHz Thank you for leading us to this problem, thank you a lot.2015-8-24 12:4:14

850 is confirmed, i.e. Band 1 2110-2170 = 2100; Band 2 1930-1990 = 1900; Band 5 869-894 = 850; Band 8 925-960 = 900

    the specs are right. There's several variants. DO NOT buy the one in the OP. Rather the one I linked to above is better suited to Australia, specifically Telstra and Vodafone.

- 11112007 on 19/08/2015 - 21:20
  
  Yeah I wouldn't be getting this if I was on Telstra or Vodafone. Only has Band 3 LTE support and doesn't have 3G 850mhz. So if you are out of LTE coverage there's a fair chance it won't be able to find a 3G network to fall back on and revert to 2G since neither carrier has wide 2100mhz 3G. (In fill network)
  
  Hopefully someone can confirm if indeed it does support 850mhz?

The issue with technology. Bargainers spend hours scouring the net for a good deal (if not already present), then spend a following few hours testing coupons over and over until finally finding one that sheds a couple bucks and buy with the feeling of bargain glory… Then find a deal like this a week later, rendering all effort as almost useless.

Bought this phone last deal posted here from JD.com, took around 30 days for phone to arrive.
Phone comes with a lot of adware, popups every minite or two when using the phone. Who know what is also installed…

First thing I did was install the indian stock ROM onto the phone.(Which is English)

Great phone once you Root and change to stock ROM.

Her phone works perfectly fine, but shes just annoyed at working her way around android when being stuck to iOS all these years.

      I bought K3 Note from last JD deal. Using it on Virgin 4G (optus APN). I also changed it b immediately to ROW rom before putting my sim card in or connecting to WiFi, due to the dodgy stock software. I didn't root the phone as I want to retain OTA updates. The phone does have a micro SD slot but 32GB only by many accounts.

    The Lenovo is fastest of the three by a good 10-15% margin in scores because of a faster CPU. Funnily the 6752 is faster than the 6753 but prone to overheat more if the design is not good for heat dissipation. Lenovo should be ok against this though..

I've always wondered how this dual sim situation work.
Ie - in my case I have 2 phones I carry around, 1 for work 1 for personal.
If your running on a phone with dual SIMs, can you receive calls on either SIM whilst both are registered to the network?
Can you allocate which sim to use for calls, and then allocate which SIM to use for data?
Its always thrown me off from moving to something like this.

  Note. Telstra and Optus have announced the closure of their GSM networks in 2016/17.

- marsking on 20/08/2015 - 09:30
  
  From what I experienced with Lenovo K3 Note, the main slot can support 3G/4G. When you insert another SIM to the other slot, you can only use that SIM for 2G, i.e. dial out/receive calls.

Stay away from Chinese Phones unless they are international version.

All Google apps are blocked in Chinese firmware.

My friend has a flagship Huawei which he can't use Google, Gmail, Youtube or Facebook.

I asked Huawei Engineers about this issue. Their justification is that Google blocked by GFW, so they blocked it in firmware for sake of user experience.

      Not in case of Chinese mobiles unless you are capable of rooting.

      Another reason people flash stock roms because handsets were subsidized by adware in firmware.

      Root not required to flash K3 Note to international version with full Google apps and no bloatware. Took 10 minutes.

      Once rooted, all warranty is void.
      
      When it breaks, tough luck!

  That's why you root your phone, isn't it?

Using the PayPal currency converter USD 136.99 equates to AUD 193.04 (not AUD 180). The phone is listed as quad band WCDMA on every other site I've seen (check gsmarena). There is much info on the K3 Note Whirlpool thread (60 pages) http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2393953

  I believe PayPal has a notoriously bad conversion rate. Avoid if possible.

    yes. avoid paypal. 28 degrees or citibank.

      Using today's rates, here is a comparison of prices using different purchase methods:
      
      28 Degrees AUD 187.40 [0.731]
      
      Citibank Plus AUD 189.21 [0.724]
      
      PayPal AUD 194.31 [0.705]
      
      Hopefully, my calculations are correct :-)

Hi, I am on liveconnect, will the 3g and 4g work on the lenovo? TIA. Sorry for the noob question.

  Liveconnect uses Optus dual band (2100/900MHz) for 3G and uses the 1800 mhz band for 4G.
  
  so the K3 is perfect for the 3G + 4G Optus network

I wonder what the SAR rating is for these chinese phones?

Watch this vid of Chinese copies being tested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiJrC2TKgrY

  K3 Note has a barely legal SAR of 1.59. But iPhone 6+ also has SAR of 1.59. So bottom line, get a LG G3, SAR of 0.42
  
  The max legal SAR is 1.6, so you can imagine that iphone 6+ and K3 Note are essentially cancer sitting in the palm of your hand lol.
  - skazclaw on 20/08/2015 - 02:52
    
    Thanks for the info, I was considering this phone before.
  - lknight on 20/08/2015 - 10:41
    
    what about the SAR score for Meizu?

This was posted 9 years 3 months 3 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
