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

I would ask the sellers BEFORE ordering about import tax etc

I went with TopOne and no issues with import. I ordered some battery packs from Focal and was charged import tax as the seller declared it about $100 irc
 
I've gotten to grips with my topone xiamo redmi note 3 pro. I really like it, it's such a good phone at this price!

Now I want to go about rooting and flashing it. There was an idiots guide buried in this thread somewhere.
 
Got an email from everybuying informing me that the Oukitel K6000 Pro is available - £99 for an octo-core with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage seems like a good deal to me, especially with the 6000mAh battery. I've already ordered one!

Get the bootloader unlocked first:

Official rom flashing guide (does not require bootloader unlocked):

TWRP and Root (ignore the parts about unlocking bootloader - it's better to get it done officially using the first link above).:

I ordered something else free post the same day and it's here today :/
 
I have a Ulefone Power that has the same capacity battery, and I was getting through two days with it between charges. Unfortunately the screen developed a fault and I couldn't get the supplier to take it back, so it's sitting unused on a shelf. The ZUK Z1 I got last month has been good, but I have found myself wanting longer battery life, so I'm hopeful the Oukitel K6000 Pro will provide that.

Just so happens that the Ulefone Power is also one I had my eye on. I can't remember why I decided not to go for it though.

You guys with the xiaomi redmi note 3 pro with the qualcomm CPU. Do you find after heavy usage it starts lagging and getting really warm? For example if you're playing a graphically intensive game?

My K3 Note has started doing this as its warmer now :(

I have not had any lag at all, played simpsons tapped out for half an hour and no slow down or heating.

Cool is HongKong Goldway the best place to get one from? I'm looking at the 'Original Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core'. Top One guarantee no import duty but cant see how they can guarantee that?

Also anyone got pictures indoors they could upload please, I plan on taking a lot :)

Anybody that ordered from top one, does DHL tracking number only work once package arrives in the UK ?
Click to expand...

The original tracking ref i got was for once the package arrived in the UK.. if you drop them a message they will give you the ref for the china to UK part.. in my case this ref showed 4 units associated with it
