    Anyone have this phone as a daily? Any issues?

  • AMLagonda on 29/11/2018 - 03:04

    Wow, Bargain. And I thought getting a Redmi 6A for $147 was good :/ bugger lol

      Xiaomi will give you one thing guaranteed - regular updates. With Sharp/Foxconn, you can forget the updates.

        They’ll give you regular MIUI updates, not Android updates. I.e. themes and UI will change slightly, yet you’ll still be stuck with an OS without constant security updates.

          My redmi note 4 got an android security update dated 1 Oct 2018 last week.

          go with an android one phone ….get android version updates and security updates ….

      • keyboardandco on 29/11/2018 - 10:00

        Last update was May 1st patch

    Does this phone have wireless charging?

    • xoom on 29/11/2018 - 08:06

      Does not appear to be so. A bit odd to include free wireless charger when the phone dont do wireless charging.

      Evenso. Thats a lot of phone for not much cash.

    Looks like 2 separate card trays - could be useful to keep my irreplaceable shoddily hand cut nano sim in one.

  • minksta on 29/11/2018 - 12:44

    good find.. so many decent 4gb/64gb possibilities around now at or below 200..
    another good one for people to be aware of locally is huawei nova3e (aka p20 lite). If you can get it on bigw 10% off sale and pay with ww egift card it is worth considering, great phone also. and no 1-2 month wait.

    • Zegga on 29/11/2018 - 14:08

      How much can the 3e be found for?

      • AMLagonda on 29/11/2018 - 15:08

        cheapest Ive seen it is $280 on an ebay deal (20% off) with the Good guys https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Huawei-1101001851-Nova-3e-64…

      • minksta on 29/11/2018 - 16:16

        sorry, my fault, didn't mean 200 at all, "almost" down to the 300 dollar mark is what I should have said (I did manage this with bigw) so admittedly quite a premium on some of the direct-from-China offerings around. apologies.. I am loving the nova 3e a month on though, snappy, runs cool with great battery life and no big weaknesses.

  • klownvandamn on 29/11/2018 - 13:23

    Sharp price but not so sharp looks.

  • DeepDreamer on 29/11/2018 - 17:32

    I just got an email from them that the free gift (the wireless charging base) is out of stock, so sorry, shall we just ship the phone? No big deal, but perhaps this is the out of stock equivalent of bait-and-switch.

  • prxy on 29/11/2018 - 17:53

    I don't see where on the page it says includes free wireless charger or has it been removed?

  • Its4me on 01/12/2018 - 17:49

    Now price is back up to US$119.99

    Any one had their phone sent yet? Mine still says processing…

    • Ozyow on 07/12/2018 - 13:40

      I contacted the company, and they provided me with tracking details and its been post about two weeks ago even though it said processing.

  • Ozyow on 06/12/2018 - 14:46

    Mine still says processing as well ?

    My phone arrived yesterday and all was well till opening the sd card tray and it got stuck halfway and wouldn't come out. I managed to get it out but damaged the internals as it wouldn't go back in. Luckily the main sim tray works and the phone has 64gb of storage.

    • prxy on 14/12/2018 - 16:00

      Any chance you could test if the phone supports hevc 10bit video in hardware with MX Player?

      Very interested in purchasing if it does!

      • Ozyow on 15/12/2018 - 07:09

        Sorry I'm unsure how to test this.

        • prxy on 15/12/2018 - 10:16

          If you don't already have it you can get MX Player free version from Play store.

          Then simply try playing one of the many test videos available on the net.

          These are probably the most famous ones:

          http://www.jell.yfish.us/

          Pick for example the lowest bitrate one from there eg:

          http://www.jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfish-3-mbps-hd-hevc-10bi…

          While playing the 10bit hevc clip with MX Player touch the screen so that you see the player controls like pause, fast forward etc.

          At the top right of the screen next to subtitle, audio options etc there should be some letters: HW, HW+ or SW.

          If HW or HW+ is showing then there is 10bit Hevc Hardware support.

          If SW then only software 10bit Hevc support

          By touching the letters MX Player should also give you the option of switching between HW+, HW and SW.

          If for example while the clip is playing SW is showing at the top right hand corner you can touch the SW and it should give the option to select either HW or HW+ and give you a message if they are supported.

            @prxy: Got my phone today. Plays X265 HEVC 10 bit fine.

            • prxy on 22/12/2018 - 13:20

              @Zegga: Good to know.

              But is that software only decoding or is it supported in hardware?

              I'm interested in hardware decoding because of battery saving.

              Thanks

                @prxy: Said HW decoding not supported

                • prxy on 22/12/2018 - 21:15

                  @Zegga: Did you try HW+ as well (thats MX Players own unofficial hardware implementation)?

                  • Zegga on 22/12/2018 - 23:21

                    @prxy: That options was greyed out.

                    • prxy on 23/12/2018 - 11:50

                      @Zegga: Are you happy with the phone any unexpected surprises?

                      How would you rate:

                      camera

                      performance

                      reception

                      battery life

                    • prxy on 23/12/2018 - 15:49

                      @Zegga: Also forgot to mention sometimes you have to manually enable HW+ in MX Player:

                      Make sure all the following are selected (have a tick next to them)

                      Settings -> Decoder -> HW+ decoder (local)

                      Settings -> Decoder -> HW+ decoder (network)

                      Settings -> Decoder -> Try HW decoder

                      Settings -> Decoder -> Try HW+ decoder

                      Settings -> Decoder -> HW+ video codecs -> h265

                      Settings -> Decoder -> HW+ video codecs -> h265 10bits
                      (even if it doesn't have hardware accelerated next to it)
