Previous best was $305 for the blue from the same retailer.

Bought this phone for a family member over Xmas and it's really good. So much value for money.

Just found this price so I can claim price protection insurance on a 28 Degrees Mastercard. I've claimed price protection from them previously and it works if anyone is interested.

  • cheepo on 04/01/2020 - 12:14

    Have 28 degrees re-introduced their price protection policy? I can see it on their website but was told a few months ago it was only for existing card holders and not for new (as of October/November 2019)?

    • Dave4118 on 04/01/2020 - 12:15

      Not sure sorry… got mine in August 18. Still works for me.

      Not for new customers. Only existing

    • unbelievable on 05/01/2020 - 22:34

      The website currently says

      Existing policy holders can find product information below. Note, we are not currently issuing new policies.

    The Mi 9 Lite in White is also on sale for a little more, this phone offers a non Mediatek chip, and OLED for a little more. I was personally stuck between the 2 but went the Mi 9 Lite for it's OLED screen.

    https://www.tobydealsau.com/en_AU/product/xiaomi-mi-9-lite-6…

    Also, please note that I ordered the Mi 9 Lite on the 18/12/2019 and it still hasn't been shipped yet, so don't listen to TobyDeals of it says in stock. They still don't have an ETA for my shipment.

    • destroyer661 on 04/01/2020 - 12:54

      Can you (or anyone) think of a reason other than local stock to get a Samsung A70 over one of these two?

      Thanks

        the RN8P has a pretty big lead in benchmarks over the a70 (edit: the mi 9 lite scores about the same as the a70)

        Big beautiful AMOLED screen. Even the Mi 9T AMOLED screen can't compare with A70 apart from novelty all screen no notch aspect. Just because it's AMOLED it doesn't mean the same, Samsung A series do have pretty great AMOLED screen for their price point even against other AMOLED.

    • Price Jack on 04/01/2020 - 13:11

      I'm in the same boat for the same phone (Mi9 lite).

      First time buying through TobyDeals, however I'll give it 1 more week to ship and then go for a chargeback if not shipped.

      • appxl on 05/01/2020 - 11:50

        No need to charge back! Just ask for a refund and they will happily oblige.

        People really need to stops abusing the charge back system, it's become a joke. It in fact really needs a complete overhaul and more protection for the seller, with banks and credit card companies actually taking responsibility for a broken credit card system with zero security.

    • nagel on 04/01/2020 - 13:27

      I contacted tobydeals on Monday and got they said all colours are sold out except for 64gb Grey. They were expecting more stock to arrive in the next 5 days. Not sure how accurate they are though.

      I purchased the Mi 9 Lite for my partner back in November, she loves it and so do I to be honest. Regret not buying one for myself 😂

      • appxl on 05/01/2020 - 11:50

        Good to hear!

    How is the Camera and battery life of Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro and Mi 9 Lite compared with Pixel 3 and Samsung A70?

    • Bigboomboom on 04/01/2020 - 18:32

      Camera: Samsung A70 < Mi 9 Lite = 8 Pro (quite hard to say, 8 Pro does something better while 9 Lite does others better) < Pixel 3. Samsung A70 camera is not up to par even in its price bracket, the A71 is what you should look out for camera (same 64MP sensor as Note 8 Pro).

      Battery life: Pixel <<< A70 = Mi 9 Lite < 8 Pro. Unfortunately, based on GSMArena battery life test Pixel battery life basically lower as the generation number goes up.

  • mp3police on 04/01/2020 - 14:29

    bought the note 8t from Toby's deals took 5 days for order to be processed and shipping I received within 3 days trust worthy site

      im still waiting for my 8T. Ordered mine on 18/12/19. Emailed them and they said they are still looking for stock and sold out. They replied later on and said they found stock and will have them by the 8th of this month.
      In saying that my previous orders have been good and fast like yours. Just wish that they would take stuff offline if they are actually sold out or atleast have them listed as pre-orders or something

    Thanks op, that seems like a killer deal for the note 8 pro. How good is the 28 degrees price protection! I've used it a few times now 👍

      Its ridiculously good! I recommend it to everyone.

      • Gr8deel on 06/01/2020 - 14:04

        and for us fortunate enough to have signed up for it before it was cancelled for new signups…coles mastercard account cover plus!! 2 Years price protection..bloody brilliant!

        • Dave4118 on 06/01/2020 - 16:21

          So jealous right now… especially if coles are as good n no fuss on claims like 28 degrees

  • koolchamp81 on 04/01/2020 - 14:57

    Is this a global version? Does it have B28?

    No NFC?

    • Dave4118 on 04/01/2020 - 15:56

      The note 8 pro i bought had NFC support in options but haven't tested it. 95% sure its supported

    • AMLagonda on 04/01/2020 - 15:56

      Where did it say it doesnt have nfc?

        Why would the specs say it doesn't have feature!?
        Nowhere does it mention NFC.

    128gb version is $310, if you're willing to spend the extra $22 for double storage. Comes with generic screen protector and pleather case too

    • destroyer661 on 04/01/2020 - 21:18

      Or see main post for $303 minus those extras

  • sonicentropy on 05/01/2020 - 00:01

    Helio G90T - i have 2 mediatek devices looks good on paper my real world performance isnt great. Lag is google maps, bogs down much faster than even a mid to low range snapdragon. They also dump android support quicky dooming the device to few android updates. Hard Pass

    • appxl on 05/01/2020 - 11:52

      This was my main issue with the Note 8 Pro and why I went the Mi 9 Lite.

      Once support is dropped by Xiaomi, it's up to the ROM creators to make new updates and it seems none want to touch the Mediatek chipsets.

    • Duff5000 on 05/01/2020 - 13:38
      +1

      Isn't that a bit like saying i bought a celeron once, it was slow so now i dont buy intel?

      the g90t is fast, check the benchmarks and game tests. I havent had anything run slow or "bogged down" on this.

      • BadGiraffe on 05/01/2020 - 18:45

        One thing the reviews say about this is that yes, the chip is speedy, but it's not as efficient. The bigger battery helps with that, but if it had one of those SD chips it would last longer with same performance. But that would obviously affect price.

  • n2h on 05/01/2020 - 09:30

    My experience is buying the Xiaomi with a snapdragon chipset. You can install Google camera app porting from gg Pixel. This will increase significantly the photo quality of the phone. I bought redmi note 7 for my aunt and the photos from gg cam is even better than my Samsung s10

    Ps: redmi note 8 pro in this post doesn't use snapdragon

  • anonymoususer on 05/01/2020 - 14:28

    If we have to compare camera of this phone with any other brand flagship phone, which would similar cam flagship phone eg Samsung s10? Huawei P30 etc?
