    Anyone know what the GPS is like on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime Special Edition?

    • trippyfoo on 05/11/2016 - 00:44

      Bought one several weeks ago and I've used the GPS several times and it's been fine. I have the one with the global ROM and I'm assuming this is the same with b28. Etc etc

      • pat0809 on 05/11/2016 - 11:28

        Thanks. If I manage to get my hands on one, I will be using it when I'm jogging and want to track my routes and distance so if the GPS sucked it wouldn't be worth it for me

    Are we sure it's the 32GB/3GB Note 3 Pro that's going to be US$116.99? It seems like it would be the 16GB/2GB which is also select-able on the same page. MC-MART's store home page also features the 3GB as US$149.99 for 11/11.

    • ozshark on 05/11/2016 - 10:50

      I have this same question. Any confirmation?

  • Kapinny on 05/11/2016 - 01:38

    absolutely insane price…..

  • rodinthink on 05/11/2016 - 01:43

    I'm just wondering how big the sale was when it's in year 2011 , 11/11/11

    This is usually a YUuge day for chinese online shopping. They said the Total purchase made for the 1st minute is around $1 billion Dollar

  • jsvr on 05/11/2016 - 02:24
    +2

    said before and i'll say it again.
    No xiaomi service
    No replacement parts available.
    No cases fit. (2mm taller)

    Choose wisely. If I were to get another one I'd get the normal version.

    • SaberX on 05/11/2016 - 02:31

      Your saying pro versions are different sizing to normal version and to avoid getting Pro?

      • shmoney on 05/11/2016 - 04:38

        Yes, pretty much

      • PR0r on 05/11/2016 - 08:48
        +4

        He's referring to the special edition

      • jsvr on 05/11/2016 - 13:14
        +4

        no, the "special edition" that has B28, marketed as the "international version" as well is 2mm taller. 152mm.

        There are no cases that fit it properly, majority of the parts do not have a replacement.

        Also, Xiaomi don't really care if youre from australia, they will tell you to physically go to taiwan and get it fixed.

        • Hoolio on 06/11/2016 - 01:45

          lol that's hilarious :D

        • SaberX on 08/11/2016 - 17:53
          +1

          So in other words get the normal "non special" version - that doesn't have B28 - or be prepared for illfitting or non fitting cases and a lack of replacement parts?

          All this china service/repair talk problems makes me want to just pay abit more and go someone regular like sony, so that any problems can be dealt with locally/more efficiently.

          the pricing of the XIaomi's are dead cheap though.

        • jsvr on 09/11/2016 - 00:07

          @SaberX:

          yeah don't get the special edition.

          the normal eidiot is fine. replacement parts cheap on ebay. got lots and lots of nice accessories. Just don';t amke the same mistake I did

    • Exec-Matrix on 05/11/2016 - 19:09

      So basically, all the people who bang on about band 28 are making a big deal about nothing? I think so.

      • 11112007 on 06/11/2016 - 06:20

        Well for this price if you really needed Band 28 you could just go out and buy another phone. However I would prefer to purchase a device with B28 since its the frequency both Telstra and Optus invest the most in and has great building penetration for signal in metro areas. I find B3 only phones to be quite limiting in signal strength and coverage.

      • skoondi on 08/11/2016 - 00:52
        +1

        So basically you don't live in the bush and have no idea what you are on about? I think so. Pretty much the only reception here is band 28 on both Optus and Telstra particularly inside and even then you need to be near the right window. So yes band 28 or the phone is useless to some of us. Before Optus got band 28 there was zero Optus reception here and Telstra 850Mhz was it nothing else available.

        • Exec-Matrix on 08/11/2016 - 09:08

          Funny you say that.. I live in Darwin and travel regularly inland to the "bush".. Ive carried my note 5 and redmi note 3 and reception was about on par. So before you open your mouth perhaps ask first?

          It seems like a lot of people who bang on about band 28 just want it but don't even know exactly what it means. That's what's annoying. I've never said band 28 isn't useful..

        • skoondi on 10/11/2016 - 00:11

          I didn't ask because I didn't care, was objecting to "people who bang on about band 28 are making a big deal about nothing? I think so", maybe it makes little difference for some but it makes all the difference for me. Sure I could have a smart phone and no data connection but seems not that useful to me.

  • SaberX on 05/11/2016 - 02:30

    Don't know anything about the phones from Xiaomi - does anyone have a quick guide or hierachy of where all the different models sit int he grand scheme of things? i.e. Redmi Note 3 Pro alot older model - hence so cheap, given the OP also lists the Redmi Note 4???

    ANd where does mi5 and the rest fit in terms of release dates and the processor,, technology etc?

    It seems most seem to laugh at the camera quality compared to the likes of iphones and our common sony xperia's, samsungs etc - is it really that much sub par to these competition? Does the battery life at least stack up?

    More importantly - as an user of samsungs, sony xperia z3 currently etc. I have never flashed or loaded these ROMs. Just wondering if buying a chinese phone like xiaomi is quite pointless if I were to use the built in operating system??

    Is this Miu that everyone is talking about a ROM that needs to be loaded ? Ideally I just wanted android out of the box, without bloatware. and more importantly spyware or malware - can these chinese brands and alixpress phones be trusted? Sorry I don't know much about the safety in buying one, but my xperia z3 is starting to get old (battery wise).

    The phones seem so cheap though that it almost feels like the quality must be alot different to buying another xperia, say the z5 which is close to $650+….

    • doperst on 05/11/2016 - 03:17
      +1

      Don't worry about the quality, it's on par with big brands like Sony or Samsung.
      I suggest you read about flashing the particular model before you order, as it may not be straightforward. (Or order the phone with Multi-language ROM)
      When I got my Xiaomi Redmi 3 it was full of chinese bloatware and I had to wait about a week to get my bootloader unlocked before I could flash a different ROM.

    • Magus on 05/11/2016 - 08:30

      The Note is one range
      The Mi series is the 'premium' range, and .5" smaller

      Camera quality is not iPhone quality. Think 1-2 gen old Samsung.
      -have not used the Mi5 though.

      MiUi is fine for an OS. Other than nexus few run stock android anyway.
      Changing to the international rom is quite easy if required.

      Quality is good. I am still using my Note 4G (now 2.5yrs) and have only recently had issues. It does not like travelling down stairs by its self. Screen as unmarked until then. Replacement screen is only ~60.

      Battery on Note series is quite large. Still decent on the Mi series. Double the life of an iphone.

    • Magus on 05/11/2016 - 08:17

      There are cyanogen roms for most models. Check the progress before you buy. I had one on my Note 4G, but reverted to stock as I use my phone for work and the apps I use require non rooted

      • [Deactivated] on 10/11/2016 - 11:09

        there is ways to hide root from apps using xposed and root cloak.

    You can buy cases that fit the international band 28 model known as Kate , plenty of examples on the whirlpool thread.

  • grimo82 on 05/11/2016 - 07:47

    Can anyone confirm the note 3 pro international proximity sensor should work like a iPhone or anything else for that matter… ie screen goes off/black when making a call against your head then back on when away ??

    My recently purchased one from Ali goes black and then will not recover during a call - making it impossible to type digits for phone banking or even hang up sometimes.

    • PR0r on 05/11/2016 - 08:50

      My wife's Note 3 did this. It eventually came fine once I update it. (She hates updating her phones so it was a good surprise to have it fixed)

    • Duff5000 on 06/11/2016 - 01:05

      Case or screen protector messing with the sensor? THat seemed to happen on my Huawei

    Scatch that. For some reason my laptop decided this morning that I'm going to the Portugese Aliexpress.

  • shaybisc on 05/11/2016 - 10:00

    Are the cases and tempered film options in this deal for the Prime SE the ones that don't fit perfectly? So don't get them with the phone but order separately with Whirlpool recommendations?

    • minksta on 08/11/2016 - 01:06
      +1

      The "soft tpu" clear cases for regular redmi note 3 work fine, they basically fit as is, maybe a little bit of hair dryer (hot air to soften) and then gently pull at each end, combined with minimal hole enlargements on the top/bottom sides with a small pair of scissors or hobby knife..
      Easy done….

  • baldur on 05/11/2016 - 10:55

    Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime

    is this 32/3 or 16/2 ? title says 32/3 but page of the phone says 16/2?

    • doperst on 05/11/2016 - 13:10

      Yeah, the post should be changed.
      Sale price $116.99 is definitely for the cheapest version which is 16/2

  • Pacify on 05/11/2016 - 15:07

    God damn $154, can't believe how far the price of this has dropped, fall of 50% in this time span seems insane

    • portraitly on 06/11/2016 - 10:24

      60 days. It is funny that in 2016 it takes 60 days for an item to arrive. Do they drop them in a boat and a guy starts rowing from China to Australia?

    Are those prices for the Note 3 Pro correct? Once you add it to cart, the 32GB and 16GB have different 11/11 sale prices listed.

    Only the gold 16GB is $116.99 USD, the rest are more expensive.

  • luckyang on 05/11/2016 - 18:57

    I think the price for 3G/32GB Note 3 Pro on first store which named as MC-Mart will be 202.18 on 11.11.
    So, I suggest you to watch the B28 one.

  • Polde on 05/11/2016 - 20:24

    For those who are intending to buy the Redmi Note 3 Special Edition the cases are hard to find, however this case fits it well

    • minksta on 08/11/2016 - 01:11

      Yes that would be fine…. as per my reply to someone also above, if any discrepancy at all the extra 2mm length on any of these soft tpu cases is achieved by gently manipulation/stretching and possibly very minor enlargement of holes that are misaligned slightly (with a small knife or scissors this is very easy)….
