POCO X6 Pro at a pretty decent price. Has all the bands needed for Australian networks. Should get 3 Android version updates and 4 years of security updates. If you choose to order in AUD for whatever reason, I found that OUTDOOR30 is $2 cheaper than AED239

    probably the best price/performance device ever on ozb. crazy efficient and fast chip in this phone

    • CachePC on 16/04/2024 - 12:51

      Have this phone and so does the much better half. Concur with MTA appraisal. Rock solid with VoLTE and VoWiFi on Telstra (usually pickiest mobile network). Using global version of the Rom (not EU version) and works well with banking apps and Android Auto. Can't fault it

      • Whatisthatvelvet on 16/04/2024 - 13:51

        How's the camera?

        On the lookout for a new phone for wife and camera is her main feature. I know can sideload the GCam as did this on my old Poco F3.

        Looking to spend under $500

        • OZBMate8911 on 16/04/2024 - 15:53

          Maybe not - Poco F3 was a Snapdragon chipset. GCam only runs on SD or Tensor chips.

          I think there's modded versions for MTK but I'm not familiar with them. I'd have to have a look at what's available.

        • Bearlion on 16/04/2024 - 20:00

          camera probably bad, would be a downgrade from flagship samsung or apple models

      • TiredKitty78 on 16/04/2024 - 13:54

        How do you find it with charging? I've heard this phone can be a bit glitchy with whether it charges at the full 67w? And it's needs a Xiaomi cable specifically? with their proprietary 'charging standard'?
        Have you tried charging it with any random cable lying around yet?

        Any glitches with making/receiving calls/texts?

        • TheFreaK on 16/04/2024 - 14:03
          +2

          Don't have this phone but another POCO that takes 67w and it works fine with other cables and stuff but will only take the maximum draw that it can from those cables / bricks

      • mckayver on 16/04/2024 - 21:51

        I confirm this. I have this phone (12/512gb version) can't can't fault it. Camera is pretty good too. Charging no problems with any 100w cable.

    • [Deactivated] on 16/04/2024 - 12:55

      Hows the battery on this on dual sim standby (if you are using dual sims in case)?

      • CachePC on 16/04/2024 - 13:27
        +1

        Unfortunately not using dual sim, just single.

        I did notice when it was hunting for a network due to our location it was using a bit more than expected but the 8300 ultra CPU is a beast.

        Only gripe would be would have liked 240fps super Mo. My Motorola Edge 30 could do this.

      • Usemame on 16/04/2024 - 13:40

        dont think it affects too much. lasts a day well with moderate usage on dual sim and 1.5 with not much use

    Nice phone for the price… similar performance to the Snapdragon Gen 1 plus SOC. I think this one is slightly faster in single core.

      For a Redmi Note 13 Pro +? Global version? 5G? Link?

        Whats the advantages over this phone? I havent used MIUI for a long time. Isnt it more bloaty than POCO UI?

        • OldBugger on 16/04/2024 - 13:56
          +3

          The new HyperOS is an advantage over the MIUI. Poco has better performance. Although I prefer the headphone jack in the Redmi and the camera.

          • donman92 on 16/04/2024 - 15:05

            @OldBugger: and the 120w charging

              @donman92: I was referring to the Redmi Pro, but yeah, the Plus has 120w (and others such as IP68 and MT chipset)

          • hippo2s on 16/04/2024 - 16:28

            @OldBugger: On my F5 I feel MIUI was better. With HyperOS some apps load slower and some chugging when multitasking.

      • ThirstyCow on 16/04/2024 - 15:20

        Had a look and might be this, where it comes out to about 259.94 USD using the same USD method. There is one more slightly cheaper listing out there though by a bit. Global Rom it says.

        • KT777 on 16/04/2024 - 15:25

          Thank you sorry I tried to post the link and it was unpublished. Yes, this is the right link, I have ordered with this seller.

          Be careful buying these as they are usually not the global version and rather the Chinese models with the global software and you will not get OTA updates without flashing them yourself and you may also have network issues.

    • CheapGit on 16/04/2024 - 13:51

      Surprised JB hasn't had a deal yet on the Note 13 phones, still expensive when compared to AliExpress prices but then you'll also get 2yr Australian warranty.

    • CVonC on 16/04/2024 - 14:49

      Link!

  • Namidairo on 16/04/2024 - 12:51

    You may or may not have to toggle the VoLTE, VoWiFi, VoNR toggles manually once for use on Voda now and on Telstra+Optus later this year.

    At worst, should be a bunch of dial codes.

    • CachePC on 16/04/2024 - 12:53
      +2

      Dial codes and then manual flip worked for Boost (full Telstra network, not gimped) from day one (early Feb)

    • neophyte2 on 16/04/2024 - 13:19

      Pardon?

      • CachePC on 16/04/2024 - 14:59

        The dial codes for Xiaomi allow you to disable the carrier check for VoLTE - once you disable the carrier check, you can activate VoLTE via the individual SIM card.

        They claimed they'd do updates through to March 2024 but my last Security Update was Feb 2022, 3 months after purchase….

        It seems they drop support for their phones as soon as they stop selling that model…

        • CHUNITHM Luminous on 16/04/2024 - 16:35

                      (With how many X3 Pros have died they probably figure it's not worth offering support or updates for them, lol)

              @FLICKIT: I don't have an X3 Pro but I did check online and there were update packages. You can try this guide from Xiaomi though I wouldn't keep using the stock ROM as it is nearly a year out of date at this point and there's plenty of custom ROMs available for this phone such as LineageOS

      I am only paying by Paypal. 
      One time a delivery never came; the tracking number on Cainiao was stuck for 1.5 months. I contacted them for a refund, and they said I had to contact the Australian Post to get proof of them not delivering the item. Contact Australia Post, they said the tracking number is invalid. I told AliExpress that, and they closed the case in favor of the seller because I couldn't provide proof that Australia Post did not deliver the item. 

      I opened a PayPal dispute and got my refund in a week.
      I would have lost $400 if I paid by card, or at least it would be a lot of hassle getting it back. 
      It's Australia Post's fault. I have ordered 30+ phones from AliExpress and only one didn't arrived, lost by ozzie post.

          The ram won't affect the performance with these Dimensity chips. Stick with the 8GB. Honestly, if you want it for Switch emulation, wait until the Poco F6 or whatever the new Redmi variant is called that has the 8S Gen 3 chip to be released.

    No esim according to gsmarena? Is this a problem at this point?

    Does it have wireless charging?

      I almost bought this but lack of esim made me choose not to.

      Esim is so convenient for overseas travel that I don't think I could go for a phone without it now

        Maybe wait for another G54 deal?

    Running HyperOS (what ever that is) - Dual sim ,but no e-sim, no data sharing and backup calling with VoWifi using 2nd sim data, like you can do with Samsung's, Pixels and iphones, $418AUS (incl GST) is a good price, dont forget the rules, buy in USD, use a card with no international fees and uses visa/mastercard rate and dont let Paypal do any conversion.

      Thx for the mini review. So, I wouldnt be able to mobile hotspot with the 2nd sim slot?

      • ocular on 20/04/2024 - 07:14

        Yes you can hotspot ok, no probs hotspotting from 2nd SIM.

        • hyper4ctive on 25/04/2024 - 19:17

          Thx, i did end up getting it :)

          Not sure what you mean by no data sharing on 2nd sim tho. How does it work the samsungs/pixels?

    Is the phone ready out of the box? Like no need to flash the rom or something.
