YSREDMI

Hi all,

In my new role as sales representative for Yoshop I've tried to negotiate the BEST deal for you on the Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime (Released November 2016).

Yoshop http://www.yoshop.com/ are a 'Lifestyle' store based in Hong Kong and sell a range of items online inc. Phones, Menswear, Gadgets, Watches, Bags and Electronics. They offer a range of postage options, the security of PayPal payment system and also have an iOS and Android App.


Today's deal:

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime - Released November 2016 to top reviews e.g: http://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4_prime-review-1526.php

Comparison with Samsung Galaxy S6 and Mi5 http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8263&idPhone2=… show it holds it's own in quite a few categories as a great low budget alternative to other handsets, especially for the price.

Cheaper than nocure's S5 Android recent post which I think is a relevant comparison point.

YouTube Review

    USD $153 at a couple of established and reliable aliexpress stores (Eternal Team & Fantacy).

    Obviously this is cheaper. But not excitingly so.

  • No black ones ….. I noticed most sellers charge more the black or dark grey ones, can't cost more to make,

    • +1

      Supply and demand, I guess. I personally would pay more for a dark phone if I had to.

  • +2

    I've been using one for a few weeks now and it's a really good phone for the price. Camera could be better but that's about it. Battery life is great, charging every couple of days now

    • Yep, agree - Amazing specs for the price and apart from a mediocre camera reviews rate the Redmi highly.

      • How long would free shipping take? Also, can you please post comparable reliable Aliexpress stores' prices for the same phone? Without benchmark it's difficult to gauge if it's cheaper/ cheapest.

        • http://www.yoshop.com/article/shipping-handling.html

          Yoshop partners with major international shipping companies like DHL, UPS, FedEx, IB, and EMS to offer three shipping methods: Expedited Shipping: 3-7 business days
          Standard Shipping: 6-8 business days
          Flat Rate Shipping: 10-20 business day
          You can choose your preferred shipping method on the Order Information page during the checkout process.

          +USD$14.68 ($19AU) With expedited shipping (Delivery in 3-7 days) - just make sure you tick 'Expedited Shipping' on the checkout page

        • @rawm: Thanks. I mean the free shipping applicable on this phone is standard shipping or flat rate shipping?

        • @virhlpool:
          I can confirm the $149.79 price is with Flat Rate Shipping, so generally this takes 20 business days to arrive. Meaning if ordered today you'd receive on or before the 20th of February.

          If Expedited Shipping is selected delivery will be 3-7 days, so I'd say Monday 30th January.

  • Not bad. Can you offer any deals on the Mi5?

  • +1

    DUAL Sim - i assume its dual standby - can the phone do both 3g and 4g together ?

    • Obviously it offers both 3G and 4G networks but not 100% sure if the phone can run them simultaneously. If you're asking whether it can drop from 4G to 3G depending on location then yes.

      • I mean both 3g & 4G working concurrently - 2g being phased out here in OZ

        • I've got the Redmi 3 Prime Pro & its does 3G & 3G concurrently if that helps.

          Don't know about 4G & 3G though, don't think I've seen it like that.

        • Both Telstra sims working for me simultaneously.
          You would assume 4G/3G.
          My older dual sim phones would have the secondary SIM off since the 2G shutdown.

        • -1

          @calvinbui:

          Is one 4G and the other 3G?

  • +1

    $200 for a 3gb 32gb fhd phone with middling cpu gpu is a great deal

    also thank you Trump for the currency bump

    wonder how much adware is loaded

    • No adware and it isn't trump. The fact is components are running a bit dry in China so they've had to increase the price - this is for all OEMs. Plus the race to the bottom with the price wars is fairly saturated now

    • +1

      No adware afaik, just lots of Chinese apps which might be a bit sketchy to some but there are weekly compiles on xiaomi.eu that don't have those programs

      • Actually the bloat on my MIUI global mi Max was fairly minimal. There was Facebook (can be removed) WeGo (can be removed) and a Cleaner app but nothing else that was considered bloaty

        My Samsung galaxy S5 on the other hand… Paypal, Peel smart remote, S health, Flipboard, Galaxy app store, Catch Up TV, My Optus, Smart Manager, all cannot be removed.

    • I just got a Lenovo ZUK Z2 4GB 64GB for $260 from Aliexpress.

  • -8

    8.9m is a bit on the chunky side these days..

    • +6

      Has a 4000mah battery what do u expect

      • -6

        Wow ozbargain has turned into Reddit. Downvotes for a simple observational comment.

  • I placed an order but for some reason the delivery address in my order changed from Queensland to Australian Capital Territory. My address details in Paypal are correct. This may be a bug in the YoShop system. I raised a ticket to get this changed. Just make sure your address is correct.

    • +3

      Please PM to confirm your order number (and address you want package delivered) and I'll look into this ASAP.

      • +3

        Thanks for the fast response and fixing the issue!

    • +1

      Same thing happened to me… the system defaults the address to ACT. But I fixed it before proceeding.

  • Please negotiate a deal for the grey one… Or mi5

    • how does this compare to mi5?

  • are yoshop and gearbest the same people? i am pretty sure they are. i bought something from them and gearbest and they came in the exact same packaging, sticker and both had the same sender spelt the exact same way.

    • +1

      Not the 'same people'.

      Quite different product ranges, service offerings and pricing is very different. Best to choose on a case by case basis to ensure the best deal is had.

      A lot of the packaging/shipping requirements from China stipulate a uniform size/weight to ensure the costs are minimised; maybe that's what you've picked up.

      • thanks rawm its good to know.

        i received the xiaomi basic headphones from yoshop with the code you provided (works great).

      • What's the relationship to gear best?

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Have taken the leap of faith and ordered, despite having never heard of YoShop before. Fingers crossed.

    • You're welcome. Let me know if you need any support/service with your purchase and I'll assist ASAP.

  • How is this against the s5?

    Looking for something to replace my aging s5, also how is warrenty on this phone

    • +1

      Comparison here:

      Major differences:
      The build quality (Xiaomi ~2 years younger),
      The battery life (83hr vs 91hr endurance life in the Xiaomi)
      The front facing camera (2MP vs Xiaomi 5MP)
      and most importantly the CPU/GPU
      Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 - Adreno 506 of the Xiaomi
      Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 400) GPU (Adreno 330) of the older S5

      • Thanks

        Also is it a type c port and does it have fast charging?
        Thanks

        • +1

          Li-Ion 4100 mAh battery, Micro-USB port for charging and according to the Specs it includes ' Fast battery charging'.

  • +1

    Got a Xiaomi Redmi Note a few months ago to replace my Galaxy Note 2.
    All spec is good, everything is good, until 1 day…. I used it under a very little rains.
    Then it never boots up again…. The build quality of these Chinese phone/tablet is questionable.
    The micro-usb port are almost always build in low quality, just google it.

    and yes, again it is good spec, but that's it. Good spec with low quality build

    • Will your note 2 survive the little rain?
      Also, buy another one, you're still ahead…

    • +3

      Did it have a plastic back cover, because I've put my Redmi Note 3 through a lot of very questionable conditions and it works as new. Unless you had a knock off, otherwise I can't see how it'd be different to any other phone.

    • I find this hard to believe
      I've got a mi max and been in many conditions and never had an issues

      Either it was a knock off or there is more to this story than you are letting us know

      A little rain won't hurt most phones provided it's not soaking in water

    • +1

      I've used my Redmi Note 3 in the rain countless times, without a case. When I say "used", I mean catching Pokemon, so I'd have it out of my pocket for good 10 minutes or more. No problems. I wouldn't be surprised if Chinese phones are made in the same factories as the Samsungs, Sonys, etc. These phones are on par in terms of production quality, I'd say.

  • Great phone, pity about such poor LTE bands support outside Asia. Would have no LTE support in USA. Can anyone confirm dual 3G or 3G/4G standby?

    • I would like to know as well.

    • without band 28 it won't do aggregation ….700mhz is what Optus and telstra use for band aggregation…..so same 4G data throughout as a $49 phone from coles but with less bands and less coverage indoors.
      Pay a bit extra and get a Motorola G4 plus….. has all Australian bands, FHD, dual sim, etc.

  • Can you do the same price for gray/black color. I will buy immidetely.. I am looking for gray/black

  • Aliexpress stores (eg. Fantasy) have the redmi note 3 special edition 3GB/32GB (with band 28) for similar price (~$210 aud)(link: http://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/32606700622.html )

    Amy reason I should consider this redmi 4 prime over that?

    @Dealsclaw: the above linked site also has grey redmi note 3 (b28) for similar price (~$214 aud, possibly better if you use 28deg or similar instead of aliexpress conversion)

    • Yes, the set you suggested is USD$10 more, but paying through Alipay. Some prefer the confidence of PayPal which YOSHOP offers. Also I'd argue fast service of YOSHOP (direct assistance through OzBargain) is a benefit too haha!

      In terms of the phone comparison, the Redmi Prime is ~10 months newer, a little smaller (weight and screen size) and has a 13MP vs 16MP camera. Makes this really up to personal preference.

      Full comparison via GSMarena

    • The note 3 is best all rounder, we're all waiting for the price to fall below A$200 because has B28. Worth getting even though a snap dragon 652 CPU when you need signal for mobile games and download speed, also less power demanding.

      OP, better offer the note 3 Kate rather than tell us what we should buy. Sell to customer requests and you will profit

  • I am getting $150.17 usd and when I change to Aust dollar it becomes $211 aud what is going on ?

    • Hi Geordie,
      Ensure you login, add code to cart and your charge will be $149.99 (or 20c cheaper if you use points) - proof of $149.99 http://imgur.com/a/5Njuh

      • still getting $211.41 how ?

        • Starts off at $292.39 apply code it becomes $211.41 can i send you a screed shot somehow ?

        • @geordie: Is it the terrible Paypal conversion rate?

    • I am getting this as well…not sure what's going on.

  • Any word from Yoshop on receiving the new batch of Redmi 4's with reduced black bezels?

    http://www.gizmochina.com/2017/01/17/new-production-models-r…

    I would love to pick up a white Redmi 4 prime but can't stand the frame around the screen. Unlikely we'll get official word from Xiaomi whether or not the manufacturing change will come to the prime, but maybe Yoshop could shed some light?

  • would this phone have global rom or just the chinese rom ? would it have google play in it or it would be installed later ? i just want to make sure i wont lose google play just like in my lenevo K3 when i reset the phone to factory settings which i bought it from china . also want to know about the warranty.
    please let me know

    • Hi OzB fan,

      According to information given to me -
      Comes with already installed Global ROM. No further flashing necessary; immediately ready for use with MIUI 8.5 (But sorry, no 'Band 28').

      Here's a link to the 8.0 MIUI Global ROM Released a few days ago on MIUI forum

      • +1

        Thanks for providing a link to the official global ROM. My phone delivered from YoShop was installed with an unofficial vendor ROM (version 8.0.5.0.0). I would definitely suggest updating to an official Global ROM before using the phone. Perhaps you should offer customers the option of having an official ROM installed?

  • Can we get black ones please?

    And is this Chinese rom or Global rom?

    I'd prefer SEALED product whichever rom it is.

    Please let us know Rep, thank you.

    • Hi jhk365,
      White only available with this promo pricing. Product is sealed and according to the information provided to me is shipped with MIUI 8.
      Thanks and let please PM if you need any more information :)

      • Thanks for your reply.

        Would be great if you guys would do the same deal on Gray models as many are quite a number of demand here.

        Cheers.

  • Op, just tried to sign up using Google+ and it says OAuth client was disabled.

    • Yoshop also has its own signups so please sign and register with Yoshop direct; hopefully this works :)

  • Will you guys be doing a deal on the grey version at all? Looking to buy one, but will only buy grey as the phone has a huge screen bezel.

    • Hi aromaticsnail,
      Apologies; This promotion only includes the White version.

      • Would you be able to do a promotion in the future with the grey version though?

        • +1

          Donald Trump is POTUS = Anything's possible! I'll be sure to alert you if Yoshop promote the Grey Redmi 4 Prime :)

  • Placed my order yesteryday but still not processed - how long does it take?
    My order is Order 3APB1701221657507421

    Thanks REP

    • Ordered last night too, got email this afternoon saying posted.
      What shipping did you use?

      • I used expedited shipping but finally got a confirmation email that its shipped!

  • OP, is there a tracking number for expedited shipping?

  • Why is the link no longer active? Is this a scam site?

    • Link works for me.

  • Comes up $270 for me

    • I can't bring up the discounted price

  • Any deals on X Note3?

    Thanks

  • wouldn't mind buying this, but keeps telling me to put in a valid shipping address, in English…… which I have, but it doesn't seem to believe me.

    To ensure smooth delivery, please provide a valid shipping address in English. Thanks

    Edit
    In fact, the whole site is pretty clunky……. can't submit a support ticket

    • Please ensure you use the desktop site if having problems, preferably with Chrome as your browser. As seen by the comments a number of users have purchased without incident.

      • desktop and chrome on two different machines, but cannot order…. signed in, shows my address but cannot either edit my address or add a new one. Can get as far as paypal, which autocompletes the address…….. then get the same message

      • ok… so I can now input my address, but only if I use written numbers, ie one two three….. not 123

  • Be weary of this company. They're too busy celebrating to reply to customers support tickets for a product they just advertised, and then a day later decided not to sell.

    • +1

      Most Chinese companies including the postal services themselves have taken time off for Chinese New Year. Considering they often work 10+ hours a day, 6 days a week with very little time off and very little pay. I think these companies deserve a break ;)

      • I completely agree 100%, it just doesn't look nice selling a product they don't have or won't ship to you. If i had known i would have bought from elsewhere to save time. Especially when they advertise they have 500+ of them, you sign up, get their e-mails, go through the process then to be told sorry, we can offer you a refund or pick something else, but we'll be on holiday, we'll get back to you when we do. But i do agree they deserve a holiday, but still.

  • Anyone got their order yet ?
    Mine is still stuck in China since last Wed according to tracking.
    It must be public holidays over there.

    • Same with me… It says "Collection". Bummer, if I paid for expedited shipping and it's going to wait until after CNY for it to be shipped.

      • I will remember not to buy anything around CNY next time or pay for expedited shipping.

  • Very Clunky website, the total price was more than 198, I didn't actually order a phone and it sent me an email saying I did. Also had "no reply" on email.
    The phone looks good, shame site is hard to use.

  • OP @rawm - Ordered on 21 Jan, paid extra for expedited shipping (3-7 days) and no sign of the phone yet. No ETA on the system either. Whats happening? Not happy!

    • Hi stralya,
      Please PM me with your order details (#, destination address) and I'll update you ASAP. Thanks.

      • Hi Op,

        Can you check my order as well, I've PM you the details.
        Thanks

  • Hi Rep, just wondering how long this coupon is going to last? My phone just died, but I'm going to wait til tonight or tomorrow in case it revives before I buy a new phone

    • Hi 1Cawk,
      Apologies for not putting the end date of code in the calendar. All Yoshop deals remain valid for 30 days or until stock limit is exhausted.
      I've just tried the coupon with success.
      Let me know if you have any other questions.
      Good luck with your current handset.

      • Thanks! Is it possible to include a case+screen protector along with the code/phone?
