Just saw this on AliExpress home page. Sale starts tomorrow (Sep 20).
Here are the four models in Australian Dollars.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro - 2Gb RAM +16GB storage $188.81 (1,200 pieces)
Xiaomi 3S Prime - 3Gb RAM +32GB storage $184.67 (600 pieces)
Xiaomi Mi 5 - 3Gb RAM +32GB storage $377.63 (300 pieces)
Xiaomi Mi Max - 3Gb RAM +32GB storage $256.24 (300 pieces)

I am not sure of the price for all the models but the Mi 5 is great price. I bought it for $520 when it was released.

A BIG SORRY to all. Been busy at work and was not able to check till now. Looks like AliExpress has not managed this sale properly. The link I have provided is still not live. However "netsurfer" has provided some links that match with the prices listed above. It may be the same seller. Sorry I do not have time to check it. Have to rush back to work.
Here are the links (thanks to netsurfer):

  • Neg for awareness

    • Says Sept 20 start date but has not started and is well into Sept 20
    • Cheaper prices as posted by a few people above are not the official global versions but the CN version with global rom
    • Aliexpress being jerks with lack of details and wasting so much of my time
    • I really want a Mi5 :\

      Says Sept 20 start date but has not started and is well into Sept 20

      Aliexpress deals usually start between 3-5pm AEST.

      Cheaper prices as posted by a few people above are not the official global versions but the CN version with global rom

      The Global Edition/Special Edition is physically different. It's from Taiwan, it's bigger and supports 4G LTE bands that the Chinese version will never support.

        Unfortunately I am not a mind reader.

        Exactly! neg awareness to avoid the chinese version.

    Guys, I checked with the Seller, she advised that the sale starts at 00:00 US time so in another hour or so.

    Again reiterating without fear of negs, do your research before buying. The prices aren't too great. e.g. Mi Max is $189 but usual price is $200 but then consider atleast 30 days of wait before your receive the item.

    I'm pretty sure it starts 17:00 Australian Eastern time.
    That's when the current deal expires.. Which is pretty good actually.

  • Its live, go go go :)

    • Neg revoked, I've ordered my Mi5

    "Ships within 60 days"?

    • The mi max says ships out in 5 days?

      • This is what I see;
        "From China (Mainland) to AUSTRALIA via AliExpress Standard Shipping Ships within 60 business days"

        • Mine says: processing time 5 days. I also paid the $14 for DHL.

  • Payments aren't working for me, getting a "Sberbank is having a system maintenance, which may cause payment failure. Please try again later or choose another payment methods. Sorry for the inconvenience." error when trying to select a payment method. Bugger.

      Mine failed the first time But worked after I refreshed and tried a second time.

    Assuming they are the same item, this deal actually costs a bit more? Second link is from the deals page.

    • As far as im aware the first is the Chinese version. Minimal differences but differences none the less

      • Looks like both have the same ROM. Essentially, it is the plug that's included in the package. First one is the CN plug (they indicated US plug - smart marketing trick, same shape plug). Second one comes with an EU plug. Both will have a converter. EU version will most likely have everything written in English (box, quick start guide etc…), which will be more helpful.

  • Seems the max is only about $30 saving from regular price. I think I'll wait until there's a good deal on the 64 or 128 GB version

  • Is it just me but the savings aren't anything to write home about?

  • My order was closed with aliexpress requiring an appeal. went to their Appeal site, but always shown "The system is busy. Please try again later".
    just seems too dodgy to me.

  • +1

    This seller is really dodgy. Taking forever to process the order. Then, just when the processing time is about to expire, they put in a fake tracking number. Soon after, received a message saying the parcel is lost by the courier and the item I am after is out of stock. The alternative they are offering is cheaper. Very slow, dishonest, bait and switch.

    Wish I can negative vote it…

    I hope I can get a full refund. There are now other sellers selling the phone I want for cheaper price (and that's with DHL option).

  • Received my Redmi 3S Prime yesterday! Very impressed so far, will probably switch from my Z5C to it as my daily phone. Battery life is insane - on first charge I am sitting at 3 hours screen-on time with 65% battery left, and that's including updating it to MIUI 8, downloading 50+ apps, updating the ~20 that were installed, GPS and wifi on the whole time, Google Now/Facebook/Messenger running, and at about 50% brightness. This battery life will reduce once I put my sim in it, but it should still be amazing battery life.

    I installed Nova Launcher straight away to get rid of the iOS-ness of it and to get an app drawer, so now it basically looks/feels like my Z5C.

  • On my first full charge I ended with 9 hours 56 minutes of screen-on time! Absolutely amazing. Second charge I got 8 hours 55 minutes, with location/wifi/google now on 100% of the time, 3G network on (disabled 4G as I get pretty bad 4G reception), and with facebook/facebook messenger/slack/outlook x 2/google inbox/gmail/whatsapp among others all installed, set up, and syncing the whole time. Could not be happier with the battery life and performance of this phone.

    Third charge I'm at 80% left, 2 hours 1 minute SOT, 1 hour of bluetooth connection and music streaming to my car, and I took it off the charger about 16 hours ago.
