It was the cheapest I found, which is why I ordered from them.

Looks like the Redmi Note 2 is for me, the extra CPU speed and 16gb storage worth £30?...

Just be beware, it's a big phone! If you have small hands, then you might not like it.

If the mi5 comes with the SD820 it's going to be a monster of a phone with 4gb of ram.

I think they're holding out to stick a sd820 in it!

Damn it, why post that haha!

The Mi5, looks ideal. 5.2 probably a better size for myself and looks a powerhouse!

It certainly will be a good handset. Although. The mi5 and the note 2 are in two different leagues and price points.

Not an awful price in comparison to the other flagships but almost 3 times price of Note 2 Prime.

When I upgraded to MIUI 7, I can't get Play Store to work

Do you have a download link mate, the one on the Miui forum is usless, keeps failing and when it does start says it is going to be a week lol. I take it you have downloaded the developer build?

A pretty quick phone.

Well my Oneplus one hits about 48k running Blisspop but that's 32bit. That's not really a branded phone as such, no idea about the usual phones mate, been using Chinese phones for a few years now.

After deciding to get a Redmi Note 2, I spent ages choosing between a black and a white one. Finally ordered a white one with clear case and screen protector.

Can't wait to throw my Blackberry in the bin!!

Where are they shipped from and did you get hit by any taxes?

Shipped from China I assume, and I've only just ordered so no taxes yet, but if you read the website they state there will definitely be no tax or VAT in EU. I think they say they will pay it if occurs but it's badly written and the meaning is not very clear.

It's from China, yes. Your package will end up somewhere in Paris for a few days, then delivered by DPD.
