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.

Obviously this is cheaper. But not excitingly so.
