really curious about the Xiaomi Redmi note 3 Pro, looks like a great phone for the price, positive opinions here too.

How are owners getting on with it?

Still very happy with my redmi note 2 .

Found my old LG G2 and the screen on that is immensely better than my K3 Note. So does anyone know a Chinese phone that has a great screen where the colours look vibrant and bright?

Have a look at reviews on youtube mate, Xiaomi do good screens but not the best, depends on your budget really.

Budget is £200. The ZTE Nubia 7 has really good specs and seems to fit the bill. Covers 800Mhz 4G too.

The XIAOMI Redmi Note 3 Pro has the specs I'm looking for. I find qualcomm based smartphones perform better than Mediatek ones. Now to dine reviews of the Pro version.....

Redmi note 3 pro is a brilliant phone for the money, thinking of upgrading my note 2 for one. my Oneplus one is stuck in the draw.

Have you used the Pro? Trying to find end user reviews on it.

Redmi note 3 pro Looks like a cracking phone but for me i dont know if i could risk buying due to shipping from abroad and warranty etc.

buy from ebay, uk seller.

you'll have some sort of recourse then.

Yep seen one from Techlabs. The CPU seems to be very slow :/

Looking at benchmarks comparing CPU with my Lenovo K3 Notes Mediatek MT6752, my CPU is much better overall only losing out in a Quadrant Standard benchmark. Think I'll stick with my K3 Note for now.
