Reset it worked for a few hours then stopped. So its going back.
Just need to decide on a replacement, stick with the Note 10 Pro, or go 11 Pro. Or what else in the same price range.

So i did end up buying the Poco F3 and really didn't like MIUI so i've rooted the phone and installed crDroid. So far i'm pretty happy with it, no ugly UI, no bloatware, no spyware.
If you decide install a custom ROM feel free to DM me before you do, the instructions and tutorials really aren't very good and it's important to do things correctly to avoid bricking your phone.
Yeah I'll probably bing you a message. I've not rooted a device since my Samsung S2 or it might of been S3
I think on the XDA forum, people aren't very helpful. It's like if you don't know, your thick,
I hadn't rooted a device since I had an S2 either!
This is the tutorial I used for unlocking the bootloader (it takes 7 days!).
What!?!?!! 7 days. That's strange. I'll check it out. Thanks

Decent price that. Got to wonder what they make them for if they can still sell them for a profit at that price.
If nothing else, it shows how high the profit margins are on flagships!

It's always on sale these daysSaw your post and thought I`d have some of that.
Back up to £269 now
The 120hz OLED makes it special at this price. The go to cheap phone.

Great little thing isn't it. No one likes adverts.

It does look great for the money, currently in the market for a temp phone until my current phone is fixed or replaced.
I do have one question though, will the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro work with Android Auto in the car? This is a show stopper for me.
Edit: Managed to pick one up today for £109. Thought it was worth a gamble at that price and if it's not great then my son will get an upgrade

It has just come in very handy again as I got a Samsung S20FE today for a great price, so that 'fix' was one of the first things I did.

On a Mate 20X and have the upgrade itch but have a hard time finding something that beats it for the price, any suggestions bearing in mind i dont want to pay a grand for a phone?
If you're happy with the phone I wouldn't bother.
Only real thing missing on your phone is a 120hz refresh rate. If you must, I'd maybe hold off a bit and see what deals land on the Google 6 Pro with the release of the 7

You've probably found out by now, but I've been using mine with Android auto and not had any problems.
Thank you thats good to know. It arrived yesterday afternoon so haven't had the chance to try it in the car yet.
Initial impressions are very positive still quite amazed that for 109 quid you can get a phone of this spec and it also includes a fast charge plug and a case. Plug alone gotta be worth a tenner

Its still a great phone but being stuck on Android 10 makes me worry apps will stop working properly. I like the idea of the Pixel 7 as long as they fix the modem made of cheese in the P6.
