R16k for the 12GB/256GB model.

And then a week later they put the 16GB/512GB up for sale for R1k more. FML.

Yep, that's the seller. If you want one that's in stock then it looks like the 256GB is...

The Poco F7 Ultra 16GB RAM + 512GB is R15499 now.

I am also looking at a special on Amazon.de for the Xiaomi 15 12GB + 512GB for R18400 (shipped+taxes), but I think the TA deal is a lot better.

The Ultra vs Pro really worth the extra R4K

Only difference I can spot is Snapdragon 8 gen 3 vs Snapdragon elite processor.

So I am guessing it's only useful if you are gaming on a phone or does it have other benefits? Besides being little bit quicker in loading Apps.

Also better cameras with optical zoom and wireless charging. If that's not important then the Pro is fine...

nowadays phones are being guaranteed lots of updates but it will eventually reach a stage where the slower CPUs will hit a wall with newer apps - so having a stronger CPU for that R4k extra makes sense if you wish the phone to keep working well for longer whilst still being able to do newer things that the newer phones will be able to do
 
Took over my wife's Redmi A3 for work use... It's a solid phone, she complained about it being slow but I have not experienced that as yet.

I do have one issue though, since the Android 15 update, the vibrate function no longer functions. I use vibrate for alarms so as not to disturb everyone.

Did a factory reset, no change. No idea how to get it working.

possibly the vibration motor on the motherboard has stopped working ..... just guessing though so you will need a repair specialist to tell you if it is and if can be repaired

I see that the A3 uses Android Go. Should be nice and nippy with 3G RAM.
 
Picked up a Redmi 14 C phone for 2 weeks now. Yes it the cheaper one because of a cheaper CPU and ram. Issue is now the phone is bootlooping and finally stalled on the bootup. Ran a recovery and data wipe but worked once and crashed. Says the system files are corrupt so will have to swop it out from the supplier. I did investigate the issue online and it seems to be a common problem and even on forums seems to cause lots of frustration.

Redmi 9c also had deadboot issues.
 
Spoilt myself last month and bought a Redmi Note 13. Got it on special for R3500.00 from Takealot. Most expensive phone cheapskate me has bought so far. And I'm LOVING it 🥰.
