    have a tracking number, I guess this will take a few days before it shows its on the move, hopefully it will make an appearance by start of April!!

    Good to know! I have a UPS tracking number too, though it's not scanned and shipping yet. Sounding positive, anyway :)

    I've heard about the Xiaomi phones and there are positive reviews about the phones that they have. Thanks for sharing!

    I've had a Redmi Note 3 and Redmi 4A, both been good.
  • According to UPS tracking, mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Exciting :)
  • Mine arrived this morning, very securely packaged and unopened, sealed box.

    I'm very happy so far. This phone has a premium feel to it, despite the budget price.

    Now if anything goes wrong with the hardware, I'm not expecting any support whatsoever.. but at this price it's still an absolute bargain :)

    Hi, yes got mine today, looks good, couple of updates to Oreo, not done much else so far, but will fit a tempered glass screen protector.
  • It really is an excellent phone. My top tips so far would be a) install the Google camera (worth the faff - it's superior to the stock Xiaomi camera app) and b) get some high impedance headphones (>32 ohms). The audio jack output is high powered and cheaper headphones will hiss.

    One thing I have found out is that tempered glass screen protectors don't work, looks like it will have to be a film one because of the curved screen, shame, have to get a flip case.
