Fingerprint reader

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?

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

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?
Hello everyone
I've been waiting for Google since 4 months to announce something that suits my taste but they fail so bad.
i was leaning toward Note7 but even if they said that they fix battery issues this device already banned from all Airlines, at least they let you go in with it but you can't use.
Im using S6 im not satisfied with.
So it's worth buying it now?

If you were going for note 7,why not go for pixel. It would be same on price. 6P will be a lot cheaper than both. If you care about latest config, oneplus 3 is better deal in reasonable price.

Then why not op3? development is huge which is almost non existent for note 7. I would have said 6p but op3 offers 820 chip with 6gb of ram.

i already have OP2 (work) smartphone, it's good smartphone, dual sim not bad screen (for sure i prefer the Samsung amoled screens, it seems i need to read more about OP3
Thanks dude
OK so the N5X is 3 years old now... any new phones out or coming out that are similar in price (budget-mid price range), and will have similar custom ROM support?
Just curious, as my N5X is still going strong, but there seems to be a roadblock on getting Android Pie to be fully functional in the few attempts I see (encryption?)
I've been keeping an eye on the new Nokia #.1 devices, and other similar specc'd phones.
Thanks.
I think OnePlus 5T or OnePlus 6 is a true worthy successor

I replaced my Nexus 5x with an Essential PH-1 on Prime day. This is the first non Nexus device I ever owned but it's very much a spiritual successor to the Nexus lineup. I am waiting for it to go back on sale again so I can pick one up for my mom.
I would consider something like the OnePlus/Oppo if it were available on Sprint but unfortunately my device selection is limited being on this provider.

Those are still pretty spendy at $400+. I'm looking for the $300 or less range, same as the 5X was. I really can't see spending that much for a phone, as I'm not quite as hooked into it as some seem to be, I just need a nice reliable device I can customize easily like the 5X.
Nokia 7+ or Xiaomi Mi A2. Both Android One.
Nokia 7.1 (processor isn’t very good though), Nokia 7.1 Plus (awesome if launches globally near China price) or Nokia 8.1 (TBA).

Yeah I was looking at the Nokia phones as well. I'm in the US, so want to purchase them here so they have a warranty valid in the US.
Any more thoughts on this topic as the holiday sales are upon us?

I did... a little quirky, kept locking up, other little issues. I don't think Pie will be viable for the N5X in the long run.
Right now I'm running latest Oreo stock but rooted with Magisk and Franco kernel.
I'm asking about new phones, not ways to keep my old phone running.
Thanks.
@g90814, you're welcome
The Pixel 1 and Pixel 2 prices are about 300-500 bucks now. And that is very good.

you can try the Xiaomi Mi 8 SE or The Pocophone F1 the Poco has a flagship specs with snapdragon 845 but its camera is not pretty good because Xiaomi just nerf the Poco's camera in the stock camera so you have to install a google camera. Mi 8 SE has snapdragon 710 which is quite rare and according to some people, it's a Snapdragon 845 with a weaker GPU.

Xiaomi Mi 8 SE not available in US as of now unless you want it shipped from China.
Pocophone is an option, but a little expensive for my tastes ($345 for 64GB model) and not available with US warranty (yet).

From everything I found, at that price point, the Pocophone is the best one, anything cheaper is way worse and not many things a little bit more expensive like at $400 or $500 are still not as good as it is. You don't really have to worry about warranty if you buy on Amazon though, if Xiaomi don't give you warranty, Amazon will as well as the resellers so don't worry about that. Bellow that 300 bucks, you may also get some other Xiaomi phones with good specs but most of them are using snapdragon 6xx which is not quite good.
Essential phone is truly the lowest price replacement of good quality.
I wouldn't recommend that pocophone for anyone in America because it doesn't work on Verizon or Sprint.
The pixel phones are all decent, but they have major hardware issues and look ugly.
LG makes the best looking and some of the most feature rich phones, but can't ever update software. (V30 is just an awesome phone form factor tho)
If I had to recommend a few replacements these would be it:
Galaxy s8 or newer Samsung flagships (TouchWiz is better than stock Android in 2018 amazingly)
Essential phone
LG v30*
Oneplus 6t (No other OnePlus phones though because the rest are beat by Galaxy s8/s9 and the essential phone at every price point)
*For v30 you must be a regular headphone jack user. That quad dac is amazing. Makes a $10 pair of headphones sound like $150, and regular car speakers sound like a full on audio upgrade. Being an LG there is next to no software support and no dev support, but the audio almost makes up for it.

Other option to consider however....
Downgrade to upgrade.
The 5x sucks you'll be happier with a Galaxy note 4, note 3, or a Nexus 6 as they are all faster and better phones in 2018 due to having 3gb of ram.
Plus they have great dev support and in the note devices extended batteries that can last a long time. Going from a Nexus 5x to any flagship with 3gb or more of ram in the last 5 years is really a massive upgrade. That 1gb of ram is the difference between usable and unusable.

Thanks for all that, Nascar. Lot's to consider, but the 'downgrade to upgrade' is a valid point. I was eyeing some refurb Galaxy s# phones, maybe I'll go for that.
I have bought a OnePlus 6 with the discount from Black Friday (and that will be valid until Christmas, I think). It is exactly the same price as the Nexus 5x 32gb originally.: $429,00. In this sense I think it is a proper successor. It is a little big, though.
And I disagree with the post above. The S8 is a great phone, but it is worse than the OnePlus 6 in most aspects but the camera.
Hello all.
I'm looking to get a new phone, and the OnePlus 7 Pro is just a tad too expensive here in Canada ($1128 after tax).
So I wanna get the 6t. But I imagine One Plus might put it at a discount at some point now that the the 7 is on sale. Does OP have a habit of putting older models on sale? Should I wait a few weeks to buy the phone or is the current price ($729 before tax) the best I'm gonna get?
Thank you!
You should wait for the OnePlus 7 (not the pro one)
I'm from India & I recently got a OP6T (8GB+128GB) Mirror Black for ₹32,999 (around $470 USD) and I'm really sad as OnePlus has launched the OP7 for the exact same price here.
I wish I could somehow switch to the OP7 as my 6T is barely 12 days old today

Here in the Netherlands you may return a Oneplus phone within 15 days if you don't like it. But I don't know if that's a worldwide privilege...

Amazon India doesn't have that policy here. And, OnePlus is still selling the 6T starting with ₹37,999 (≈ $542) for the 6GB+128GB on their official site. I really do have a bad luck

That's a shame. I'm sorry to hear that. It's reasons like that that I have given up on OnePlus and am moving on to a better company. They don't even sell the OnePlus 7 here in America, because they know nobody will buy the pro version when the regular 7 is a much better bang for your buck, in comparison.

They might sell the 7 there too. It's not even on sale here. The sales are gonna start in June. Yes this was a sad incident, but I'm still gonna stick it to OnePlus

I never see OnePlus to give discount for older phone, like 6T now.
Why don't you buy it from OnePLus site? 7 pro 6gb-128gb is 999 canadian dollars. I don't know about Canada taxes, but if i buy it, i pay 699 euro, taxes, transport included.
Why don't you buy from another person (selling forums) from Canada (sell forums)?
This depends on your country and its laws.
2 weeks ago I bought a returned 6T for 410 US dollars incl taxes.
It looked absolutely new.
The price difference to the OP7 is too big in my opinion.

I suppose you're talking about the OP7 Pro... OP7 starts from $549 here in India, at which 2 years back OP5 was released. OP6 launched at $583 & OP6T at $633 in India.
So, OP7 is cheaper here compared to previous devices.

No, I meant that if he can get the 6t as cheap as I bought, the price difference is not worth it. But only If he is ok, buying an not absolutely new device.
I am living in Europe and paid for the 6t ( tried and returned before 14 days after buying) 370 euros. The OP7 is just available for 560 euros, but it's brand new.
Therefore it is the best time to buy a 6t if you can accept some small drawbacks.
Sorry if this one has been asked and answered before but I have a friend who wants to trade my note 9 which is the 512 GB variant for a oneplus 6t plus cash it's the 8GB ram and 128 GB of storage. I've always been a fan of oneplus but never actually owned one so I was wondering if anyone else have made that switch and if so what's your impressions. The reason I've never owned one been that they didn't have Verizon support but with the 6t they do. So any advice will be very appreciated
I would trade if you know you can trade for the 7 or if you want better camera

Get the 6T plus the cash and cash out for a 7pro, check the site(oneplus or carrier)if there's still a trade in rebate program(or sell it for the right price) on the 6t's you might be able to be qualified and can send it for a rebate towards the 7 and then use the cash to cover the remaining balance

One plus is doing good things ; and I live galaxy's but for me its the battery(loverall life) and display(opgestures), camera, dual sim fast charge ect. and the fact that these phones are still relatively new so lots of people assume I have an iPhone when asking for chargers or just showing some one something and they're baffled. what really took me over all. Moto "CHOP" was an idea I loved from moto, so in the 6t you can use the slider and dedicate it to a flashlight/ etc. just many great tweaks on custom an stock OS that I can't find on any other major vendor flagship devices. The community is greatly developing in the 6/6t/7/7pro etc.
Also
You will love the 7. Times a thousandX

The note 9 you have has the same amount of ram minus the amount of extra movie/porn/4Knonsense (350GB) extra space the 6t doesnt. Still 128gb is very sutible for a work or school dedicated daily phone.
They both have snapdragon 845s but the 7pro has the 855(BETTER). And the 8gb ram is the mcleren version for 6t and the note 9 has same but the 6t has to be mclearen, it can be tricked by unlocking and flashing the op1/2 imgs and changing build prop to display 8gb as ram instead of 6 but its probably unlikely that the seller/trader would be trying to do that bs to you, just a thought that I would do if I needed to tax on the device.

The only thing I dislike about the one plus over Samsung is the SAR values are alwayse outrageously differentiated between the company's and that Samsung uses better equipment with their software on the motherboard suck as resistors and such because the difference in radiation emotion rate from your phone usage is quite weird as its the same prosessors and chipsets, just a lot more feedback in thoes values
Get at least the 7T or 7 Pro, you won't regret it. I would just sell your Note 9 on Swappa, you'll get more money for it.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
Okay thank you all I will check the 7 pro or wait for the 7T
Best value for money imho is the OnePlus 7 non pro. Approx 440$ on eBay with 8gb 256gb storage. The 7T is $600, I don't believe the 7T $150 better than the regular 7.
