**** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

My Redmi Note 3 got dispatched on the 26th by expedited shipping and the tracking info hasn't changed since... If it's the usual 14 days I get from BG (lots of RC stuff from there), won't be happy
 
Banggood! Have ordered loads from there before, usually don't bother with paid shipping/ tracking but you know, £150 item and all

Lol that's a bit odd, my tracking did not move until it hit the UK then it was fine, just said DHL had received the instructions.

Was that from Top-One?

The tracking number i got said Gatwick to my address.. after a day i asked for the tracking number from China which they gave me.

This tracking no had 4 units linked to it so they must have posted 4 items at once to Gatwick. Once at Gatwick the units looked like they were split up and delivered separately as the following day my first tracking ref became live.

Andy, nice review. Can you confirm you bought from here:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...83.html?spm=2114.13010208.99999999.261.iyLICE


If so, that seems to be a great price. However, it's the smaller non-note version, if anybody is looking to buy.

Edit - Btw, it does have a micro sd card slot. You can either use a second sim or a micro sd card.

Thanks :) Not to be pedantic, but it's not a review though, that will come tomorrow hopefully ;)

Yes, looks to be the right link.

Also, the MicroSD card or second SIM isn't as simple as that. I have to use a nano SIM, which has to go in slot 2, where the Micro SD card would go, so I can't use a Micro SD.

You can buy adapters to stick your nano sim in to make it micro sim sized, that way you can use both.
Edit; There's one on the zon branded Noosy, comes with all adapter sizes and the sim tool for 32p and free shipping...

Alternatively, you can peel the plastic off the actual sim chip by heating it up and glue your sim directly onto the SD card. Do it at your own risk, but it has been done before and it's exactly what I'm going to be doing so I can put all my music on the phone, as well as run the sim for my Dutch contract and get an EE pre-paid sim for when I'm in the UK.

Yes, I can confirm a micro sim adapter works fine in sim slot 1. I'm using this with my EE nano sim, and a 64gb Samsung EVO+ micro sd card in the second sim slot.
 
I have the snapdragon.

I got stuck on:
