New update for the Redmi Note 4 seems to be available. No MIUI 9 yet, though

 

[Zuner]

Nightly for my note 4x

:erm:

 

[PhireSide]

Yours is nightly, mine is on the stable release channel so others with the stock ROM will be seeing it shortly

I hate Nightly updates

Have a bricked Redmi 2. Any recommended repair shop in Pretoria or Jozi?

Local cell repair shop says they cant fix it. Tried youtube video repairs but no luck.

A week ago my Redmi-2 slipped through a hole in my jacket pocket and rolled down the stairs. Makro was kind enough to send it away for me to Mia-Africa, but the repair cost is more than I paid for the phone, R1400. Its in the recycle bin now.

Contact MIA. They fixed my Note 3 for half the price that Cyberrange wanted

There is an 8.5.5 update on the official site. It's about a 1.4GB download. You have to select which phone you want to download.

If you haven't already, signing up to Gearbest mailing list is highly recommended. Got a mailer today with a $150 black Note 4X 3GB/32GB offer that even has free express courier delivery included. Were it not for the A1, I would've grabbed one.

Can't share the deal as it is locked to my account.

Fanksh! Will have a shufty!

 

[The_Mowgs]

Is it worth buying the Mi6 or is there something similar? I want a phone the same size as the Samsung S4 but with dual sim slots.

I dont use my phones for gaming etc, just browsing, gps, photos, calls and IM.

Redmi 4a or Mi 5 fits about that size at a lot lower price than Mi 6

Xiaomi Redmi 4A about R1900 at Takealot
Xiaomi Mi 5 goes for about R6000 on Takealot but I would recommend that you look at importing it if you go this route as you can get it cheaper.

The 4A looks a bit "pap in die broek". If I am going to spend money I would rather spend a bit more for something that will last.

What would approximates be to import the Mi5 and Mi6?
