        Thanks!

      • wfdTamar on 29/11/2015 - 08:44

        I wonder if there a reverse of that tool? Tell it your country, provider and find out which of the phones will work? Maybe even down to telling it where you are in Australia (so the frequencies available to you).

    • garage sale on 30/11/2015 - 06:12

      will work but without 700 MHz doesn't take advantage of the new bands that work better indoors and crowded places. same for Optus …… not sure why Chinese have such a challenge to male all band phones like apple Samsung and the big brands do.

  • sol3x on 28/11/2015 - 15:18

    Good price for a very new phone which just came out a few days ago.
    But i'll have to pass based on two points below:
    1. No memory card slot. 32GB isn't enough for me.
    2. Does not support all 4G LTE bandwidth, like band 28 (Telstra) in Oz

    • AusNugz on 28/11/2015 - 15:23

      That's fair enough, I got very good coverage in Melbourne with my Note 2.

    • pseudobacon on 28/11/2015 - 15:28
      +9

      You basically won't find any phones that support band 28 for this price and specification. And lots of people seem to get by without that band anyway

      • h0mbre on 28/11/2015 - 16:17

        I got my Zenfone 2 for not much more and it has 700mhz (B28)
        Once you use 700mhz 4GX with Telstra, you cannot go back.
        Unfortunately most phones out of HK or China do not have this band.

        • pseudobacon on 28/11/2015 - 16:40
          +3

          I've only got normal Telstra 3G, what's so good about 700mhz? Also this phone is really supposed to be 240 AUD going by 1099 RMB official price, it's only a matter of time until the price gouging ends

        • h0mbre on 28/11/2015 - 19:14

          @pseudobacon:

          I get 4GX reception everywhere now. I can't even remember the last time I lost LTE signal(I live in Sydney metro).
          Before 700mhz, I would always lose it when deep inside a building etc
          Concrete building? No chance on the higher mhz

          This phone is awesome for people who don't have the option for 4G 700mhz but if you have access to it, you're doing yourself a massive disservice by buying a phone without the band.
          I would've bought a Note 2 if it had 700mhz, had to go with the Zenfone instead.

        • gottacatchemall on 28/11/2015 - 21:19

          That's the price is china though. There is also shipping to australia plus profit. I would not really call this price 'gouging'.

          +1

          @mark96: One could just buy it directly from Taobao and ship over themselves if they knew what they were doing. The prices which resellers sell at should be RRP, which means they should already be making a margin at that price

        • garage sale on 30/11/2015 - 06:14
          +1

          700 MHz works better indoor due to wavelength and currently less people on it so less congestion.

    • daver on 28/11/2015 - 16:50
      +1

      My oneplus one realises multi megabyte throughput even from the weakest 4g Telstra signal indoors within metro; I have no want for more period.
      Common FDD band 3.

    • Benjamin7711 on 28/11/2015 - 16:31

      Any advice on how you removed it? My brother has that problem but when trying to reflash to official miui 7 it fails and says authentication error

      • pseudobacon on 28/11/2015 - 16:41

        There are a few different ways to flash a new Xiaomi ROM, the first two methods I tried gave similar errors to yours, something about a type mismatch.

        Get on the Xiaomi forums and you can find the various ways to flash, try one that works for you

    Would this phone work with Optus? I don't really understand anything when it comes to the different bands. I live in rural Victoria if that makes a difference.

    • kcyw on 29/11/2015 - 16:09

      According to that willmyphonework website linked above, it will work with Optus 3G but maybe not for 4G.

  • pseudobacon on 28/11/2015 - 16:42

    Optus uses the 900Mhz and 2100Mhz 3G bands and 1800, 2100 and 2600Mhz 4G bands so you'll be fine

    • garage sale on 30/11/2015 - 06:16

      Optus do 700mhz if you have a phone that supports it

  • XucCac on 28/11/2015 - 16:51

    Gray is $199.99USD but select AUD shows $287.41 (not $284.13 AUD?)

    select gold & silver and it shows $209.99USD select AUD its $301.78 (not same price for all colours)

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 28/11/2015 - 16:53

      It can be hard to get hold of different colours with Xiaomi. Particularly with power banks.

  • kungfu_tofu on 28/11/2015 - 17:22

    note 2 still seems like the better choice :/

    • [Deactivated] on 28/11/2015 - 17:30

      Well I was thinking that but it's not really true, the Note 2 Prime is slightly faster and has expandable storage

      While the Note 3 has fingerprint reader, 1GB more of RAM, significantly bigger battery and (for better or worse) is made with more metal

      • meanozbgnr on 28/11/2015 - 18:35

        why the Note2 is faster? They have the same processor and with 3GB of ram in Note3 I think that it will be faster, plus in note 3 both sims have 4G

        • AusNugz on 28/11/2015 - 18:43

          2.2ghz on prime edition of Note 2.

        • meanozbgnr on 28/11/2015 - 19:31
          +1

          @AusNugz: well, it would be hard to notice the difference, extra RAM would help the Note 3 perform better than Note 2 Prime plus higher clocked note 2 prime would drain the smaller battery faster. I'd choose the 3GB version of Note 3 over Note 2 Prime.

        • AusNugz on 28/11/2015 - 23:19

          @meanozbgnr: Agreed. The ram (MIUI is bad with RAM management) will put it ahead of the Note 3.

        • pseudobacon on 29/11/2015 - 01:22

          @AusNugz: That's assuming you're hitting the maximum frequency all the time and I'd be that's not true. I'm also willing to bet it makes no noticeable difference

        • AusNugz on 29/11/2015 - 10:29

          @pseudobacon: My bad meant Note 2.

        • garage sale on 30/11/2015 - 06:20

          bigger issue with speed is the radio speed, if you can't get the data makes no difference speed of processor that's why it is Sam they don't have better 4G support.

      • kungfu_tofu on 28/11/2015 - 20:27

          I have no say in what they put on their website. I don't live or work in China. This is why I don't post deals on new products with limited numbers or presales.

    make sure you flash the miui room after getting the phone, there might be some spyware installed.

    it is not installed by xiaomi, these chinese exporter likes to source products from a supplier that is good at installing spyware.

    probably huawei installed those spyware on xiaomi phone to damage the reputation.

    • Jackson on 29/11/2015 - 21:26

      This was mentioned as an issue numerous times with v6 but the phone I just had delivered came from Everbuying with v7 and doesn't appear (at least not obviously) to have any spyware/malware. Does anyone know a definitive way to test this?

    For those who want to save a bit of money, there's a Banggood code b185f7 to save 5% or xmas06 to save 6%. The above code 6%minote3 doesn't work anymore.

    Also, don't forget the 4.8% rebate from cashrewards…

    BG is also selling the silver colour only. with 6% discount brings it to $278.87 delivered, with Cashrewards, net cost of phone is $265.48

    At under $266 for a newly released phone with so many features, that's hard to beat!

    I know the shipping time is terrible with BG sometimes, but I am happy to wait. But then again, BG will get their stock on 25th Dec 2015, which means it will be late Jan 2016 b4 it gets to customers.

    I can't make my mind up on this one. The lack of microsd is a bit of a bummer, but otherwise great at this price point.

    seems like a bogus saving as the quoted RRP's are inflated and availability on the spacegrey is a week and the others a month. i think you'll be able to buy the same price or cheaper in a month or two?

    the coming soon huawei mate 8 also looks tempting..

          @Clear:
          I ordered mine pretty early (05/12/15) and I thought I'd receive it before Christmas, or at least before the end of the year. Oh well, there's nothing I can do now but wait. Thanks for the responses though.

          @bluggort: Downside of it being posted on every bargain site out there.

    What is the chance of this being riddled with malware?

      A lot of marketplaces often have trouble with suppliers. But I am sure Clear will happily provide some easy instructions on how to flash a stock rom.
