  I bought my 9 yr old the redmi note 2 great phone for $180, but the problem with these phones is software updates …. when sales of a model drops, there is no profit in supporting them anymore. at least Google keep updating nexus as a PR exercise to promote android and apple keep updating their phones so customers feel they will get longevity. still waiting for android 6 on my Samsung s5. …….. my nexus went to android 6 very quickly.

    I use my old iPhone 4S as a car GPS. I made the mistake of updating to iOS9. You get all the new updates, sure. Now it takes 2+ minutes to boot and be able to load Google Maps. No option to wind back to an earlier OS.

    Don't really care about software updates that much. You will Chaney to new one probably in a year or two. It will come with new OS. That's why they are cheap for a reason

Yeah with a lower end device or old phone I'd rather not update. You don't get performance degradation, and with Android you can run most apps still on older os. Mind you the older nexus devices such as the Galaxy nexus run better on Marshmallow roms than they did on Jellybean the version Google stopped support on.

have been using mine that i bought from the $273 eGlobal deal, few things,

-camera is below avg
-OS seems buggy: eg., proximity sensor doesn't work sometimes when on a call, sometimes phone heats when on a call
-fingerprint sensor doesn't work sometimes

overall phone is okay but im not super happy about it. i'm not sure if i would recommend this to a friend and if my next phone gonna be xiaomi. Your take might be different tho.

  I checked the review on youtube which says it does meet the expectations for the price point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbw1Mqv-zRU. I have already ordered it. I will check it out before I hand over to my mom. I have been using the Mi4 on a global ROM (still kitkat 4.4)and quite happy with it. xiaomi is not quite good with updates though. I am hoping this gets 6.0 update. Are you using the snapdragon version with 3gb ram?
- neonlight on 06/06/2016 - 09:40
  
  I choose Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro over Nexus 5x because:-
  
  Advantage
  - Nexus battery life is way worse. Xiaomi has excellent battery life
  - Much better build quality on Xiaomi. Aluminum body
  - Camera is fine during the day
  - Miui updates often
  - 3GB RAM
  - Dual SIM + memory card if you want with 1 SIM (you can argue Aus is phrasing out 2G but overseas still useful)
  - $60 dollars cheaper than Kogan deal with DHL express post
  - IR Blaster
  
  Disadvantage
  - Lack of updates on Android OS probably won't see 6.0
  - Camera isn't good in low light
  - Software support not as good
  - No Quickcharge 2.0
  - Can't record 4k video, but 1080p is good enough.
  
  I think its great phone for parents.
  - Phoebus on 06/06/2016 - 10:39
    
    for parents the battery will probably last all week
  - kiLbiL on 06/06/2016 - 15:53
    
    MiUi is buggy and that's why they make so many updates. So many bug fixes and just one or two features among (eg. last update). I'm not saying bug fixes are bad but suggests MiUi is still not a stable OS.

Why is the post title incorrect?

It says: Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB

However the item linked for sale is: Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime 32GB

These are different handsets… I'm surprised no one has noticed so far?

  I'm not sure that they are different models but rather resellers using Pro and Prime to differentiate.
  Does Xiaomi use Pro Prime anywhere? I'm happy to change it if this is wrong. As far as I can see it is alright.

atlinus on 08/06/2016 - 08:19

$248 price is for standard shipping which the website says will take up to 60 days/2 months to deliver (the price would probably dropped by the time it arrive)

Can someone share how long it takes to deliver in Australia using their Standard shipping ?
- timbobjim on 08/06/2016 - 11:19
  
  It depends when they do their bulk processing. My order from 2 days ago is now flagged as shipped so that's good. Others above have reported receiving in 2 weeks from then. Note however the ETD from Aliexpress says 15-45 days.
  - atlinus on 08/06/2016 - 11:36
    
    Good if it only takes 15 days using the standard shipping.
    
    I believe Aliexpress transaction are all in USD therefore there will be currency conversion charged by credit card company.
    
    How much was the currency conversion charge by credit card company?
    - timbobjim on 08/06/2016 - 19:44
      
      My MasterCard charge is still showing as pending to the value of AUD$249.44 so I'm yet to see the ~3% currency conversion surcharge of approx ~$7 appear but then keep in mind the 2.4% cash back from cashrewards it all kind of balances out :)

    Also we do not know if it's global rom
    - atlinus on 09/06/2016 - 08:20
      
      If you want silver — AliExpress is much cheaper
      
      Someone also mention on the EverBuying post that this AliExpress comes non-factory firmware that "can't be updated".
      
      — not sure about the consequence about this. My impression was, it is better to install the global ROM to wipe out the bloatwares or possible spywares pre-installed with the phone. IF the firmware cannot be updated - will this be an issue ?
      
      With price difference of about $9.00 (if you are buying the gold color). you maybe able to buy a tpu caseand screen protector at that price.
      
      If you want the tempered glass than normal screen protector, there is no use for the screen protector and if you prefer a different casing.

      @atlinus: Mines came well packed. The actual phone box was not sealed in clear plastic wrapping though. So I guess it was unpacked to install the Global Rom. The phone itself did still have the factory protectors on back and front. I purchased Monday with DHL shipping and it was delivered today.
