[Everbuying] Xiaomi Redmi Pro - Dual Camera OLED Android Smartphone - USD $199.96 ($264.75AUD)
Found this over at everbuying. Going for $264.75AUD compared to $314.58AUD at gearbest and decent deal, I've been using this phone for about a month now and the camera controls are pretty great, voice reception is a lot better than my Nexus 6P and Nexus 6. Everything else is normal, battery lasts well over two days with HEAVY usage. Only issue is it comes with ALOT of Chinese apps, that can be uninstalled, but still a bit of a hassle, no 5G Wifi and currently no global ROM.

I bought one of these for my mum. Biggest problem with this (and other MIUI devices) is the inability for a Google Calendar auto-sync… sometimes. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Manual refreshes on the Google Calendar app seem to work but that's annoying if you use another app that uses a Google Calendar.
Other issue - no expansive storage and no USB OTG support.
No Global ROM, as far as I'm aware.
If you don't need any of that then it's a fine value product.
