Anything out a fair old bit better than my Elephone S8 for £250 or under ? sick of the lies and failure to even update 7.1.1 without bugs !
So considering upgrading between now and end of the year.

I ordered one from eglobalcentraluk in the end, order place on Sunday the 29th. They say they are packing and getting it ready for delivery now, 6 to 8 working days they say, fingers crossed it arrives quickly... Thanks.
EDIT: It's dispatched now with tracking number, delivery via UPS. They say the tracking info wont update for 1-2 days, looking good so far to get it sometime next week, I'm OK with that from ordering this Sunday just gone.

Got my Redmi Note 5 4GB via eglobalcentraluk.
What case and screen protector do you guys use?
I ordered the generic screen protector but i think it is a tad small on the width?

Loads of reviews on youtube
Cheers pal, where did you order from? How much was it?
Could I just ask about the delivery please? What company was used? I've ordered a mobile from eglobalcentraluk and I have a UPS tracking number, they don't appear to have the package yet so only the label must have been created, your post dates seem to point to around 7 days between it being dispatched and delivery, so I'm probably looking at mine getting here next Wed/Thurs. Lastly, did you opt for the insured delivery for an extra 4 quid odd or did you go for the free one? I went free...
I ordered on the 25th of June, and received the phone on the 10th of July.
I didn't pay for insured delivery, but I did pay on a credit card to try and give myself some protection.
With regards to UPS, I had the tracking number for a while. When they eventually received the package - I received the phone about 1/2 days later.
Thanks for the info haz_pro, I used paypal express for some protection.
That has gone very smoothly for me, mi a2 lite arrived late morning yesterday, can't fault eglobalcentraluk, under 5 days from ordering to delivery.
It's bigger than my old Redmi 3s, heavier too; Sealed global version box and getting 4G using my O2 sim so it has band 20, checked for updates and it pulled down the July security update...
Having been back on MIUI awhile now, I did wish they'd have the option to separate notification and ring volume so they aren't linked. I know there's apps to do it but it should be part of the OS. Other Android distro's are able to support it.

Oh man, those juicy juicy Mi Mix 3 rumours!

Sexy af, and given how I don't take selfies, don't care if there is a motorized pop-up one.

whats the best chinese phone for under £250?
I was thinking about getting the Nokia 8 which has nice specs but it just looks so dated now, with its large top and bottom bezels

Has anyone replaced a screen on a redmi note 4? Left mine of the roof of the car and went for a drive yesterday....got the phone back after a local Paralympic Gold medalist found and took it home but the screen is all bust up (still works ok though)
And trying to find a screen isn't going well as most on eBay say they are for the 4x and not the 4 but they look the same to me??
