Buy from ebay.in 64GB and 4GB RAM. Use 10% disc coupon. But ask for TA1003 model only. TA1000 comes with modified ROM and you cannot update OTA.
But only seller warranty applicable as phone is imported.

Yes, this is exactly my question, why i have to wait like crazy to buy something for which i am ready to pay, its not a life saving medicine afterall. I remember waiting for meizu m3 note in same way, and with this same idiotic practice people lost their interest in phone and now no one cares about it.

If you are waiting for Google Play Store, please don't wait for them. The best you can do is get free shipping or playstore credit. For retail, the price starts to come down after a few months. If it is close to Christmas, Easter or any major holidays then there are great deals to be taken.
On a new device like this, Google doesn't usually reduce the price. They may offer additional incentives for the holiday season, such as Play Store credit, free shipping, etc., but that's about it. The price won't be reduced until just before the next nexus phone is released, probably 4th quarter 2014. Of course, there's always the possibility of some crazy event affecting the norm... but I wouldn't count on it.
Phone is already cheap for what you get. Check out the Moto G for $200.

on sale!!?? just like the other user said the moto g mite be the phone for u.. the N5 is already crazy cheap for what u get.. do be honest one of the main reasons i got the n5 is the development it gets.. this is my first nexus phone and i love it.. i have had some many top of the line phone in the past 3 years and none of them come close to the love this phone gets.. i will never get another htc one.. or a galaxy phone again... im sticking with nexus:good:
I am fine with paying $349.That is a great price for the phone. What I am trying to decide is whether to purchase it now or wait for February when I will actually get to use the phone. I want to purchase it now, so that I can have it already. However, if it it might get reduced between now and then, it would be wise to wait. In the past have the prices stayed constant until the new model came out?

It dont get any better than what the price is on play store. Hell, I got a 32GB one and it was cheaper than what T-Mobile wanted for it. There's your savings lol

I'm done with Galaxy phones too. I booted up my S4 today to update it to the new MK2 OTA update because I'm getting it ready to sell. After a few weeks with my N5 I had already forgotten what a pain in the a$$ Knox is. Never again!

Advice before buying

Hello my friends
Am a holder of a MI2
And i decided to buy Mi4 and i need your advice...
Am living in Cyprus (Europe)
1. Which sites are trusted.? And which are you recommend
2. What to choose standard English rom or multi rom
3. When do we expect black colour?
4.what shipping method to choose?
No one??

Hi,
1) Sites that are trusted are http://www.xiaomishop.com/ and http://www.ibuygou.com/
To name a few. I would recommend xiaomishop because you can choose to ship from Europe so you avoid customs, taxes etc
2) The phone will ship with normal MIUI which has Chinese or English language . If you want more languages see the multi rom version here http://xiaomi.eu/community/
3) Black was released in China only on the 28th of October. There is no date for international availability
4) For shipping, I would recommend http://www.xiaomishop.com/
Because they have a warehouse in Europe, make sure to choose that option to make thigns easier :good:
Hope I helped.
Regards
Thank you..
So there is no black version for other countries??
Also do you know vickomall. Com? It looks to have the best prices,

No black version in other countries, not yet.
Vickmall prices are the same as xiaomishop, 389 dollars. With Vickmall they are located in China so you will have to deal with customs and taxes whereas xiaomishop has a warehouse in europe so it will be easier for you :good:
But they want 35 euros for delivery, and that is ridiculous...
since today, the black version is available on xiaomi's shop. Just ordered mine.
I've ordered both my Mi3 and Mi4 from xiaomiworld
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4
Is it still worth buying? I don't really care a lot about LTE. I was wondering if is still a good choice Mi4 64GB and how much should i pay for a second-hand ? 300€?
Yes it is worth byuing, i'm going to update my white to black version when i see good price. Don't care 4G either, all frequencies are not supported here so i'm not gonna pay extra for it.
I like especially display and camera, also speaker phone works very well compared to other phones i've had. MIUI v6 is still work in progress, but xiaomi.eu developer versions have been good enough for daily use, not major problems so far.

absolutely! Been using it for a few weeks now and can't spot any disadvantage. Only the battery seems a bit weak, but up to now, i always got past one day without the need of recharging.

I Got my unexpected note 5, Should I root it?

Hi friends, a guy was selling a brand new note 5 64 GB for 450 and I gave him the money right away. Still I did't root it yet for 2 reasons. 1- because there's no pretty much any roms available for it, and the 2nd reason is that my Samsung pay might not work if I root it... any ideas? Thanks a lot.
Samsung Pay wont be available if you root it. No question about that.
Also, it is still worth it to get Freezas Kernel because it is extremely fast and you can Root and have the phone already setup for when a fully custom ROM is released.
$450 for a 64gb note 5? You better make it has a clean IMEI number.

Thanks, I did make sure it was clean, in fact we did the deal at the store. The seller got a free phone from Microsoft so he doesn't need an additional phone as he claimed. He originally bought the device from best buy without a contract. He gave me the receipt, all accessories and the box and basically everything. And also screen protector, beautiful case. I still can't believe it, thanks God I didn't have money to buy this beast phone even though I had my note 4:angel:

Oh, man. I wait then. I really want this Samsung pay, it's an awesome feature. Better than both android and Apple pays.
That'sa gold deal you got. And yes don't root until we have a root that will not trip Knox Samsung Pay is cool and did you get your free charger or flip case from Samsung through Samsung Pay?

Where to buy used xiaomi Mi 4c??

Title says it all... Can't afford a new one...and ebay selection is limited
I doubt many used ones are on sale since it is a very hot deal and good phone specs. the phone is less than 5 months old after all. Good luck though

Are You Getting the "Ultra" or Planning to Buy? Pre-Order?

So as much as I like being back on Apple as it just makes my life that much simpler (only need one phone for work and home, everything just works, etc.), my curiosity and need to be on the "newest" shiny thing to come out over powered my reason...
With that, I did it... Hopped on liaow.com and pre-order the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra (He calls it the "Extreme Edition", its soooo extreme!!!!)
So I guess the question becomes, is anyone else getting this beast?
I preordered the 256GB 12GB version since I don't want go outrageous and didn't want to go into the +$1200 USD range... now I'll just wait for delivery hopefully in 2 weeks...!!! :good:
I am thinking of getting one. I am just waiting for a local store to respond if they can import it for me. If they can't, I will buy it from tradingshenzhen.
I heard both device will be for Chinese market ?

I just want a smart charging pad!!!
I am thinking to get one. Waiting for two information:
- JerryRigsEverything tests
- some devs to make custom rom that is closer to stock Android (the MIUI 12 is impressive tho)
Have any of you guys ordered any Xiaomi phones before to the USA after the ban happened? I'm afraid that the phone might get confiscated at the post office or something. I have the impression that the postal services are very anal about stuff coming from China these days and they have opened everything I order on AliExpress or wish. Anyone has any feedback on this matter?
Thanks ?
I Want one but really concerned that China only = no custom ROMs
Mine is on the way
Mine is also..
Silver
16 gb ram
512 rom
Also ordered 8gb 128gb variant, the 10 pro performed brilliantly with 8gb so can’t see why this would need any more.
Holy crap, liaow has the 12GB+256GB Transparent edition (and the 8gb too)
I'm THIS close to getting it. Might wait til payday... but wow,. I'm in mainland UK, Liaow should be ok right? Says they install English for you
Edit: I bit the bullet
Holy gee, they take Paypal credit which I use anyway and I get more than the cost of the phone in my bank next week... a no brainer. less than £900
It's coming!!!!!!!!!

Which custom ROM do you want to have?
Usually the most important one we need is xiaomi.eu rom which will be released according to their forum.

Wonder if there is a global version in the future, just looked at the price at giztop, about $100 more than the price in china.

Looking to import to UK

Liaow. They're being really nice, the dude emailed me a few times to let me know things, to check I know what I'm doing, to see if I want it set to English, and he sent me a photo of the package with my address on
No band 20 / 800mhz for 4g in the UK though. So be careful what network you are on.. EE seem to support the most 4G bands (there's like, 2 bands for short and medium range in towns and cities, whereas the missing band 20 is the low frequency for the most coverage)
I also ordered one. However I am worried that some apps which I often use wont work:
UBS banking
Interactive brokers (stocks)
These apps probably rely on SafetyNet Check and will not work on the device as it has a Chinese ROM. Do you guys have any solution so that also secured banking apps will work?
Got mine Saturday... bought from liaow... 256GB 12GB Transparent... Breath Taking... Gets 5G with T-Mobile... I've also forced VoLTE Check & VoWiFi. Other than that.... China Rom of MIUI 12 is not too bad. "OK Google" works and with the installation of a 3rd party launcher (NovaLauncher) I got Google Discover as my leftmost screen. This thing is buttery smooth @ 120 refresh rate... haven't tried the fast charging as I don't want to ruin the accessories (don't know how long I'll keep this phone). Haven't field tested camera but I'm going on a short trip over Labor Day and plan to give it a run through. Battery life seems very decent.
