Following from this deal from here
i discovered that the good pricing on their french website in GBP has the Xiaomi Mi5 listed for much cheaper than anywhere at 206.93 pounds (~$387AUD)
Its actually cheaper than buying the 32gb from the official xiaomi website!
Add the coupon code FVE3SUS for another £2.07 discount.
shipping is £ 6.49 or £ 17.30 for DHL which is worth it
you can also get the 64gb version for £ 273.15 or $510AUD
or the highest 4gb ram 128gb flash version (Xiaomi Mi 5 pro) for £ 317.24 (this one is more expensive than xiaomi store but still cheaper than any retailer) ($592AUD)
great price for flagship phone
i cant be bothered waiting for Asus zenphone 3 deluxe to come out so this will do for now
im not sure if this is the chinese or international version or whatever and i have no knowledge of what custom roms are available, so anyone knowledgeable pls comment below
I have no idea how much these pound values really equate to but I guess I can be happy knowing that these values are at a 30 year low!!
