Hey everyone I'm thinking about buying a new phone but i never bought anything from China before and i heard something about vat and import duties I have no idea what that is I'm in the USA btw
Also the phone has free shipping via AliExpress so do i just have to pay for the phone and no tax etc?

You pay the vat tax and hypothetically you would pay an import tax into the US. But only if the value is above $2500.
The itself Vat is the tax, and coming from China its should be about 16% of the declared value. Sometimes the shipper will declare a smaller value than what you actually paid.

Okay now I'm really confused ? one of my FB friend said the USA don't use vat. So if i buy this phone i would have to pay 16% vat?
Here is the product i want to buy

US doesn't charge the Vat, the country that you export from charges the tax. At least that is what happened when I bought a guitar in China. But I may have gotten scammed since I didn't pay a Vat for other things that I purchased.
I just attempted to walk through the steps of purchasing a phone ( Online) to see if it would process the Vat charge and it did not. So maybe you will not pay any Vat? To be clear the US will not charge you anything unless its value is over $2500
Nice Phone BTW
Here's a screenshot of my order back in July. It's just like if you order something from amazon or ebay, nothing special, at least not with an order like this

Okay ?
Here is what i noticed so far compared to my le pro 3
The battery life is awesome almost 10 hours of sot (Facebook, WhatsApp, messenger, YouTube,wifi) the camera is wayyyy better than the leeco (leave AI mode off) speaker is decent, build quality is amazing the only downside is the micro usb charging port....cpu is snappier that the leeco but the GPU is decent and ram management is just terrible

Hmm if that's the case, then the Kirin 960 or 970 should perform overall much better in all aspects
Actually I've been looking more and the Kirin chipsets seem to be more for non-gaming as opposed to the Snapdragons. That combined with looking for a phone that's compatible with T-Mobile/MetroPCS, it looks like ZTE/Nubia Z17 might be my choice to upgrade to.

You know when it's due out? I checked gsmarena and it says not announced. Did a quick comparision though between the Adreno 530 and the Adreno 616 and the 530 still tops it..then again you said u weren't going for gaming ;p
The idea about the Nubia z17 for me I don't think is gonna work out, it doesn't have band 2, which I probably need for MetroPCS. Bands 2 and 4 are the 2 I use. the x720 is missing bands 12, 25, 26, 66, and 71, so I have no idea if I got a phone that had those (almost all are expensive) if they would even be utilized or not. I'm debating on maybe the Honor View 10, it has 2, 4, 5, and 12 at least.
The phone that gets my attention is the Xiaomi BlackShark it has all the main bands for AT&T and T-Mobile... A big battery and screen sd845cpu 6gb ram 64gb storage just under $400 on eBay
I love my lex727 but it's getting a bit on the rough side with scratches on the screen I'd get another one but their isn't any new ones left on eBay
I ended up buying the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 SE for $300, 8/128, I think I'ma have this one for quite a while

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.

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.

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.

I guess I may be trying again for the pro version. Any other reviewers?

Try GeekBuying, I've used them reliably for years and they are usually the least expensive (if you incorporate the total cost such as shipping and insurance).

It's not out yet, only announced
I spoke to a seller on aliexpress and she confirmed she had the silver ones in stock. I placed an order and she told me that they will ship it on the 4th of October, after the holidays in China.

Top One Digital - aliexpress. He offers worldwide shipping. I have used his services and I can recommend him. But I highly recommend you to pay for DHL delivery so you will not pay any kind of VAT and also you will get your device in 5-6 days.
As far as i know right now he has Xiaomi Mi 5S 64/128 GB (both) and also Mi 5S Plus but only 64 gigs. The price of Mi 5S 128 GB is 430 USD.
Nah they have a picture of a gray one (black face), but they only have the silver with white face in stock at the time I ordered.
I also messaged and she said they don't know when they'll get the grey colour

Well, it really depends. I will talk only about "Top One Digital" because I have bought few times from him and he is really good seller. First of all, he packs the items really well. Even if the DHL airplane f*cks up in the air and it fells, your package will be okey. I needed 10 minutes to break down the package of TopOne, for real
You have 2 choices when you shop phone(s) from his store:
1st - if you want to receive sealed box, he will send you sealed box but once you open it, the phone will have chinese global stable pre-installed - which means when you turn on phone you will have only 2 languages - chinese and english and when you finally go to the home screen you will see a lot of crap chinese applications. And google play will be missing from your device. But MiFlash allows you to flash official ROMs without unlocking the bootloader and it is really simple and easy.
2nd - if you don't want to flash the global rom by yourself, you can just write down a note to him (or just send him a message) that you want to receive the phone with Global Stable ROM and he will do it instead of you. But you will not receive a sealed box. You will be able to receive OTA and etc. No chinese apps will be pre-loaded and you will also have google play on your phone.
I have bought few xiaomi phones from him and I don't know what is the procedure if you want to get Meizu or anything else but yesterday i compared the price and specs of Meizu M3 Note (3 GB RAM) and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (3 GB RAM) and it is useless to go for meizu.
One last thing - about the latest xiaomi phones - Mi 5S and Mi 5S Plus - no matter what, you will receive the device with chinese stable ROM because there is still no global stable for these models but really soon we will be able to download them from their official site.
So don't hesitate - if you want to get some good chinese phone - order from TopOne but don't forget to use DHL delivery.
Try tradingshenshen too. Bought my 5 pro from them. Great experience.
Oppmart have very good prices but they charge $50 for the grey model because it's 'harder to get'. They ship from EU $20 so guarantee no customs for EU countries. Not sure of Brexit affects us.
I'll most probably buy from them, grey 4gb/128. I'd rather pay thr extra for the 4gb ram since the Pixel Phones will be 4gb and it can last a few years

http://www.gizchina.com/2017/03/10/video-maze-alpha-serious-rival-xiaomi-mi-mix/
that sure isn't much of a price drop considering i paid a similar price in november from chinavision
This is misleading info, xiaomi hasn't dropped their price on mix at all, official price is still exactly the same. What you seeing here is reseller dropping price, most likely because the hype is over and they are trying to sell their stock.
It has nothing to do with mix 2 and we won't be seeing mix 2 anytime soon also. They only just started working on it so give it until later this year before you start seeing actual info about it.
P. S. And ya, that price is pretty much what others was asking a long time ago
I was looking at this model since it came out and all the retailers who ships worldwide asked for over 1000$, maybe you are talking on 128GB? the 18K is the most expensive model.

I am well aware of the model difference, of course I am talking the more expensive model. When I bought mine back in December, the world wide shipping price was around 850 USD, many buyers here got theirs around that price.
Some sites are charging quite a bit more than the others, but price from official has always been the same. If you lucky enough to snap one from xiaomi, it's 3999 RMB, which is around 580 USD. I got mine just below 700 USD last year. 18k gold 6GB ram version that is.

you obviously haven't read the huge thread about where to buy then cause similar prices have been available from the very start of this phone going on sale
The maze seems like vapor hardware atm too, not sure what it really has to offer - new company going in on a new idea with no previous entries. That's a pretty big risk to take in this market. I got my mix 6gb 256GB for about 850 everything included, Chinese rom and sealed.

have fun with this device.
I have both samsung s10e and oneplus 7pro in my hands, but since this device is relatively much cheaper, i feel like i could just use it without extra care, and no phone case, feels much easier. Besides, this phone has great screen and sufficient processing power, fits my needs.
Just ordered my 128GB model for 288€ so 320 US$, and the 64GB model was around 260€ so 290 US$, you should be able to get it for way less than 400 US$.
If you want to order it from GearBest check online if you can find some good sales codes, for exemple check this page :
www[dot]fredzone.org/le-xiaomi-mi-9t-128-go-a-partir-de-272-e-et-vous-avez-en-plus-le-choix-de-la-couleur-855
It's in french but pretty self explanatory, the prices they list are not totally accurate because the discount decreases as more people use it (I think), but at the time I checked you could get a 128GB blue model for arround 300€ (334 US$).

this really depends on which network you are and what bands do they use, you could check the phones supported bands on gsmarena. also keep in mind any import tax and levy charges.

At that price is the least trade-off you could make, waiting a few more minutes to copy your files over usb.
Tell me another snapdragon phone with a headphone jack ?
And the biggest plus I see is the 50W charging, they claim 35 minutes from 0 to full but I saw reviews on youtube that timed it even less to 28 minutes.
If only someone could make a LineageOS 16 or 17 build for this phone I would be sold

I'm not interested in the faster file transfer but usb 3.1 allows you to output video like the OnePlus 7 series.
Another Snapdragon 855 phone with headphone jack K20/Mi 9T Pro. 855+ Rog Phone 2

Asus Rog II is indeed a spectacular phone, it ticks almost all the boxes, perhaps only camera and dev community popularity. And it is still a bit more expensive the the X2 PRO.
For video out isn't it still cheaper to get the 450 euro X2Pro 128/8 + a 39 euro Chromecast as compare with a 7T which is 600 ?
I now have a OnePlus 6 myself but seriously considering buying the X2 pro since is 150 euro cheaper than 7T and I will probably be able to flash a LineageOS on it, if not right now then perhaps towards the end of year.

When outputting videos and playing emulators, Chromecast won't cut it.
Realme said that v7 will a close to stock Android experience. 7T prices will be lower on websites such as eglobal central in a month or so.

7t is already 420 euros on Aliexpress but shipping from China means import taxes plus there is the issue of warranty.
Preorders will be on 4th November
