Zubia Z11 Mini S http://www.gsmarena.com/alleged_nubia_z11_mini_s_variant_spotted_on_tenaa-news-21102.php

Lets see how this pans out. Hopefully a SD cpu

Im just not a fan of rear fingerprint scanners so unless it costs about £50 i'm out

Considering buying a Redmi Note 3 Pro I have seen at a good price from UK stock. It doesn't say they have been flashed with a global ROM. Presumably it will come with a lot of Chinese rubbish apps on it? If I download the ROM from here is installation straight forward and it will eliminate most of them? http://en.miui.com/download-301.html

That's the right place for the global rom, loads of info on flasing roms on the MIUI forums.

Xiaomi Redmi Pro OR Xiaomi Mi5? Which one would you guys get and why?

 

[scrivz69]

I would go for the Mi5 just because it has a Qualcomm SOC, so more likely to get better development.

Thanks for that. I've gone for the 3GB Ram 32GB ROM Snapdragon version. Should be here by Wednesday so I'll have a play

Do you mind if I ask where you've ordered from? Looking into getting this myself.

Thanks.

It was an eBay seller, linky. They have a "make offer" option. I knocked it down a tenner and they took it. Price seems to be pretty much the same as on GearBest, Banggood etc but the item is listed as in the UK with delivery in 2 - 3 days.

Anyone recently bought the new Redmi note 3 pro international (kate) version?
http://www.honorbuy.com/918-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro-international-version-3gb-32gb-gray.html

Honorbuy says it supports band 20 800mhz. Can anyone confirm this?
I initially hold off my buying the regular redmi note3 pro due to missing LTE bands but now it seems they have released a proper international version.

Ive decided on the Redmi note 3 Pro. Lets see how good it is when it arrives. Hopefully its better than my 3 year old HTC M7

Anyone getting a Mi5s?

Same here but no one seems to have it in stock. Besides it's an extra 40-50 dollars for that grey...

I could probably get the white for 64gb for £240ish or 128gb for about £290. Just have to live with them nasty black borders

Thanks for that, will check it out. Need to find out if my 4G works on it first.
