Happy holidays everyone!

For people that missed out on the Aliexpress deal (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/284158) or did not want to buy through Aliexpress or was put off by the comments, Banggood has the Mi Max for less than $20 more, but you can pay through Paypal instead of Alipay. If you ever had to dispute through Alipay, you know how much better/easier it is to deal with Paypal.

Oh, emphasis is this is the Mi MAX, not Mi MIX. :)

    Incredible phone for the price. I use it and love it.

    Be warned, it doesn't allow you to select Australia as a locale, so you might encounter problems with daylight saving and news apps.

  • fatice on 29/12/2016 - 16:40

    If it is delivered in 3 to 6 days. That is a good deal.

    FAQ: Band 28 700mhz?
    A: No.

    Love this phone, using on Telstra. Don't even notice the no band 28! Works very well defaults to HSDPA when no band 28. Rest of time 4g 80per cent of the time. No regrets so far :D if I had the cash I'd buy another for back up!
    Plays games like a treat and screen is epic.
    Only minor consideration is when you get it to check the miui version is official and if the phone is a genuine xiaomi. Update the phone over the air and your winning.

    Remember this was ~$221 a few days ago, so can be had for cheaper at times.

    • Empiresearth on 29/12/2016 - 19:02

      where was that ?

    • lovepeoplenotmoney on 02/01/2017 - 14:16

      Yeah, hope people bought back on the 27-28 Dec 2016, doesn't have much appeal now. boxing day and end of year sales were pretty crap. Seems the calendar forced retail to pay staff double time and a half for Sunday rates extending to today so the bargains were terrible this year. But even online stores should have better offers

  • Empiresearth on 29/12/2016 - 18:59

    I love this phone, another thing is soon you will get nougat update on it.
    only thing i dont like is battery it wont last 2 days says big battery 4850mAh but i dont think it is.

    • albert0pia on 29/12/2016 - 19:37

      Maybe you've got rogue apps.

      • Empiresearth on 29/12/2016 - 20:29

        Do you think default apps may be?

        • albert0pia on 29/12/2016 - 23:43

          I would start with non-system apps before anything else. Do you leave Bluetooth and GPS turned on when not in use. What is your screen timeout setting? Have you got heaps of instant messaging apps installed and syncing all the time? Is screen brightness maxed out even in dark environments? These are only a few points to note when trying to maximise battery longevity.

    Banggood is much more reputable to buy phones if issues occur.

    If your willing to take a risk buying this Chinese phone I recommend buying from these guys.

    My ulefone power had issues and banggood helped me out by offering me compensation for faulty phone, I was very happy with outcome and cut my loses. I am having similar issues with aliexpress but they keep sending me smart ass replies and don't help at all, as they don't care and their buyer protection/ disputes stink

  • patthecat on 29/12/2016 - 20:30

    price says $280.96 AUD for me any ideas why?

    Also is it easy to buy cases for these?

    Thanks

    • HomeAlone on 29/12/2016 - 20:32

      You didn't enter the coupon.

      • patthecat on 29/12/2016 - 20:40

        thanks all sorted and ordered now

  • HomeAlone on 30/12/2016 - 02:11

    I saw in the reviews on the site that this comes with modified firmware.

    BG staff says it doesn't support OTA update so how difficult would it be to install the official firmware over it?

    • Hotdogs on 01/01/2017 - 07:52

      I bought one which had crappy modified firmware on it which wouldn't OTA update.

      If it doesn't OTA update when you get it out of the box then I reccomend you reflash it straight away because there are more bugs and sometimes ads in the unofficial firmware and you may lose all your data when you reflash.

      There's an official way to reflash on the XiaoMi homepage using fastboot but they never approved my application to unlock the bootloader. I was able to reflash it to the official miui8 using the method which requires you to use EDL mode rather than fastboot.

      • HomeAlone on 01/01/2017 - 22:31

        Thanks. I'm just gonna pay the extra $9 elsewhere to get factory sealed official global version and not have to mess around (or potentially brick my device)

  • TALLBALLER on 30/12/2016 - 05:41

    Is there decent rugged cases for this

    • lovepeoplenotmoney on 02/01/2017 - 14:18

      Do you drop often? Everyone is going for ring phone holders, double up if you want extra security. But if you drop by bumping off the couch, lap or table etc, worth to look for rugged case and screen protector

  • DongerDash on 31/12/2016 - 16:17
