As title... I see that a couple of UK retailers have got the Note 8 at £199...down some £100...
Is this an indication of a new version on the same lines as the 10.1 2014 edition?
Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
Hopefully, however quite a few retailers have put the price back up i, e John Lewis, and its only available from Amazon UK from 3rd party sellers.
Lets hope the 2014 Note 8 comes with some stellar specs.
I will be keeping an eye on CES for possible announcements

Hi xda users:
This is for try to find the low price and best(short) delivery time..
anyone can give me suggestions?
I´m from Mexico
Here you go:
https://www.ibuygou.com/p-xiaomi-re...it-octa-core-22ghz-2gb-ram-32gb-rom-6992.html
ibuygou is very expensive, at least the 16gb model. I buy this phone on geekbuying, they give you a coupon for the first order, and it cost me with free shipping 149 euros-161 USD
How reliable are either of those sites? Looking at both for shipping to the UK...
This should help: http://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-redmi-note-2-pro
Thanks, but I'm more interested in reviews of the various sites that sell it, and UK shipping. There's a lot of dodgy companies out there, after all.
@FloatingFatMan ibuygou is not a dodgy company. I have bought a Xiaomi Powerbank off them in the past, which was shipped from the Far East. They now offer EU Warehouse shipping for select items as well.
Also maybe of interest:
http://www.topresellerstore.co.uk/
http://xiaomishop.it/
http://www.honorbuy.com/
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/1153179
I have also purchase from this reseller in the past:
http://beexz.com/
Service was excellent.
That's the kind of answer I was hoping for. Thanks for the information. I wasn't saying they were, but there are plenty out there that are. Caveat emptor and all that.
I would only recommend sites that I know are reputable
I'd suggest geekbuying. They are original and provide discount for new users (you will get the code when you register)
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiao...ore-MIUI-V7-3060mAh-13-0MP---Gray-351517.html
Gearbest is also seems ok. Used to purchase Xiaomi powerbanks there, pretty fast and smooth, came originals.
Then there's a coolicool used to purchase Gionee Elife E7 phone. Also pretty fast and smooth. But currently they have no Redmi Note 2.
Geekbuying is also s'pposed to be ok, since many tech reviewers link to it.
You can also try coupon code "retailmenot" for 5% discount. The code is from the site with the same name.

Is the Prime version (32 GB) available yet?
There is a shop in Hong Kong selling the 16GB white model on Ebay right now, with fast shipping. I ordered two for a great price, one for me and one for my brother or to sell. Will arrive in Australia by next week, which is good because I dropped my G2 today and cracked the screen. There are 4 left!
As for me, I prefer to buy from coolicool. Because it's low price and service.
Oppomart 159$
The prime version is $ 50 more. Shipping is $30 to the USA. Some of the other sites include free shipping. I know geekbuyer has free slow shipping but fast shipping is an extra $5.
I have heard that a number of people bought Oneplus One phones from Oppomart.
Some new deals have popped up, on an Australian forum I frequent. first is for 2ghz/16gb, second is for 2.2ghz/32gb:

And another good deal here, RN2 PRIME 32GB/2.2Ghz with free Silicone case+Screen Protector (if you tick the box) for $205:
http://www.vickmall.com/original-xi...-helio-x10-octa-core-5-5-inch-fhd-13-0mp.html
I think you can buy this redmi phone from geekbuying,I bought the xiaomi note phone from this shop before,it's original and they had a good customer service.
To those on the verge of purchasing,
Just got an email showing the Redmi Note 2 Prime (32GB) being on sale for the next few days.
Oddly enough, the black version is $10 cheaper than the white one: http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_229218.html?vip=56770
I've been waiting for a special offer to pop up before I bite the bullet and buy it, this may very well be it!
P.S. Not sure what the policy is on referrals, but I like to be direct, so using that link will only help me get a discount on the phone itself, it doesn't seem to award any commission.
But also remember, you will never know if what you are ordering is in stock or not. Until nothing arrives at your address. Be warned before using Gearbest.com

Gearbest is so shady and I will never use them again, I'd recommend staying far away.
I ordered a Chuwi Vi10 64GB w/ keyboard case on 9/11/15; I had to do the "sketchy" ID verification also, but they took my order and my money.
I received a broken keyboard on 10/2/15 , and over 30 days later, still no tablet.
Now the replacement keyboard is out of stock.
They suggest I find an alternative keyboard to replace it (for a custom keyboard/case made for the tablet, WTF!).
I've re-ordered the tablet & keyboard from banggood.com, got my fingers crossed.
P.S. Techtablets has other user reviews for Gearbest, they pretty much suck!!!
I also suggest to stay away from gearbest.... I cancelled my order because it appeared as "processing" for too many days.
They answered my tickets with delay and always with generic apologies but never gave me a real dispatch date. As I heard there are many people waiting for their redmi note 2 I assume they just don't have enough pieces in stock (despite they show all the phones as available).
I still have another order made on 09/27 yet "processing".
I didn't cancel it only because those are 20$ of accessories for my xiaomi yi and in this case I don't care to wait too long, but still this tells me how efficient they aren't with their business.
I'm still waiting for my redmi note 2 from gearbest.com I ordered on 30th September. How long after cancellation did you receive refund? As of now they don't seem to want to answer my ticket!
Sent from my Moto G 2014 using Tapatalk
08OCT I asked to cancel the order and be refunded
09OCT They replied asking me if I would prefer to be refunded or get a GB credit
09OCT I say I want the amount to be refunded into my Paypal account
12OCT They confirmed the order was cancelled and refund processed (they said to wait 3-5 working days)
12OCT Got notification from Paypal about refund
12OCT Refund available into my paypal account
Before coming to the forums and reading this, I ordered one from this site (though it was before the sale). So far it has been smooth, as yesterday it shipped. Hoping now that there's a phone somewhere in that package...
I've ordered a Redmi Note 2 16 GB from Gearbest. Took them about a week to dispatch my phone and another week to get it(used a faster cargo choice).
The only issue i have with the phone is bloatware which everyone seems to be having but other than that the phone is stable and fast.
Just buy the TDD version to get a discount
Geekbuying has it on sale too, only for 10 days
Geek buying
I just ordered the 32 gig version from geek buying hopefully their better than gear best! Does anybody know if it works on T-Mobile/Metro PCS?
Thumbs up experience with everbuying.net for me.
The problem with gearbest and many other sites that never have real stock and needs the money from the orders to buy the phones. In some cases the phones are out of stock from the manufacturer and they have to wait. I made the order for the prime the 19st of september and ships the 4th of october.

Hotmid.com is another good alternative, delivered a bloat free phone to Sweden in 8 days standard shipping.

Soooooo annoying.... And I got my redmi 3 like few weeks back....
I was considering getting note 3 only because of fingerprint sensor, but it is way too large for my liking. And now they release this.

Don't be. Plus it's to be expected that they'd get either an Enhanced or Prime (well except now obviously it's a Pro so) out. Not that I defend Xiaomi but they're not the only ones struggling to balance out price points.
Subject to individual preference of course, sure both 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage are more than welcome but are you sure you don't want to pair those to a slightly more capable SoC with better GPU OR at least with an FHD screen instead?
As for me being Malaysian when Mi are lagging their ass in their own sweet time to even bring in proper official Redmi 3/ido sets on time let alone this Pro I can't be arsed to wait and definitely are happy with how much I've paid for my imported set so yeah.
Hello everyone, does someone know, will the PRO version have capacity buttons light?
Any news here yet? It says 4th of April, but I can't really find anything yet.
It will be more great if :
Super AMOLED 2560 x 1440 pixels or QHD+ with Gorilla Glass 5 with 3D or Force Touch too
SD652 or SD825 in it
USB Type-C
QC 3.0 or Super VOOC
24 UltraPixel with f/1.2 main camera & 24 UltraPixel front camera with f/1.2 (Best lowlight) dual-pixel + iSight technology
Micro SD Card (up to 512Gb) slot separetly from SIM 2nd Slot
10.000 mAh battery capacity
What do you think?

Spemall is selling it already, they have posted a photo showing their stock.

I've just purchased from Spemall. Never used them before, but I guess Paypal has my back if anything dodgy happens. £144 delivered to the UK by DHL, with the promise that they'll "lower the invoice price" so that I get charged less tax at import... We'll see. Should be here by the end of next week.
Just ordered one Redmi 3 Pro yesterday, hope to reicive it as soon as possible.

You should have chosen EU Direct. I have done that when ordering from Spemall and the item arrived within a week and no customs tax.

Ah that's a shame, live and learn I guess. DHL was a pound more but showing as 60% discount, so I assumed that it was the better value option.
This handset is now on hotukdeals.co.uk under an AliExpress seller for the bargain price of £120.

Hey guys,
Is spemall.com a reliable/trustworthy site? I am currently in Cyprus (EU) and its basically between ibuygou.com and spemall.com. Which handles returns friendlier and you guys have had better experiences with?
Thanks!
Hello I just get my redmi 3 Pro. I am installing some apps and noticed that heats up very fast. Does anyone feel the same?
Also sorry if my english is bad im spanish speaker. :good:
I'm not sure whether I should buy the pro version or the non-pro version, if I'm buying the pro version, can I use the ROMs from the non-pro version?
Some one can help me, where is price cheapest?
i'm want to buy PRO version
I've now received my Redmi 3 Pro and after a week of use I am very happy with it. I'm getting 6-7 hours of screen on time, the camera is much better than the reviews led me to believe, and it's been an all round decent experience. The only thing that is bugging me is that I'm on the Chinese ROM and don't seem to have a clear answer on whether the Redmi 3 ROMs will work or will brick my device. Ideally I'd run CM12, but even the Global Miui would be better than the Chinese one.
Redmi 3 Roms seem yet not to work with pro version. Fingerprint and network seem not to work.
Waiting for a fixed release of EU rom.

Wow, nuts how the prices change. I'm waiting for my Redmi 3 still that I ordered in the beginning of April. Paid 170 USD for it.
Really

I will buy it
Well, ain't I lucky. http://es.aliexpress.com/store/1986585 <-- may NOT want to get something there. I ordered a Xiaomi Redmi3, but I got a 2nd hand Samsung E7, packaged in their own unique tape and all. Had to escalate the dispute with Aliexpress, luckily they helped me out.
I guess I may be trying again for the pro version. Any other reviewers?
Trying to find a reliable source for Redmi 2 / Prime. Does anyone know one? Has anyone seen a 2nd hand 2 Prime for sale?

Well years ago, before the not best priced store DX.com sold out of them, they were priced at €107, with free shipping in 2015.
http://www.dx.com/p/xiaomi-redmi-2-...ne-w-4-7-hd-16gb-rom-8-0mp-light-green-400895
So depending on condition €40 - 60 or so? Or what is the general idea? I know you can get the Redmi 4A for €99, these days.
I almost snagged a non-pro for £30-35 on ebay. Someone beat me to it.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xiaomi-Redmi-2-8GB-Black-Unlocked-Smartphone-/232210253680
Can't find any Pro / Prime second hand for sale in Europe or North America. However they can be found new on www.alibaba.com/ for $60 - 100.
Here is a Pro one for €55 in Italy.
http://www.ebay.it/itm/272534188829
Can't buy it since he only ships within Italy. :-/

This is a bit high for a new one, isn't it? I mean you can get a Redmi 3, Note 3 or even 4 for the same or just a little more.
Someone in Germany should snipe this one tomorrow, if they can.

I can get a new in a box for $89, I'm wondering if it is worth it, or if I should add 50-60 and get a newer device.
