Best place to buy Xiaomi?

Hi guys,
Only found this thread over the weekend, awesome to see such a strong Xiaomi community! I'm looking to replace my Redmi 3S (been using it for 3 years now I think!), so thought I'd ask here. At the moment I'm leaning to the Redmi 9, and was about to purchase it from mia.africa.com, but then saw some not so great reviews on hellopeter. Anyone bought phones from them before? Thanks

If you want good after sales service, buy from Take a lot, of they have stock. They provide one of the best warranty support services within online South Africa...
 
Thinking of getting a Xaomi phone to use mainly as a photo snapper to upgrade from my Galaxy S4 camera. Any recommendations for which one to go for with decent indoor photo capability. Looking at the Note 8 at less than R3K it seems a good deal.

I haven't personally tested it but for the price think it is prob the best in that range

I could of course go for the Note 9 Pro, but not sure if the price premium would be worth it for something I want to use as a glorified camera. Most likely wouldn't even add a SIM.
 
Have the Redmi Note 8
Great phone, unlocked with EU firmware

Might have to phone your network to reprovision the service again. I used to have Volte active on my personal number, but it stopped working for no apparent reason. Vodacom had to reprovision the service again.

Contacting Vodacom seems impossible. I've a new Vodacom SIM that is already RICA'd but I cannot seem to speak to a human. No options. A run around. Cannot enable 4G or anything else on the card.

Please post here what number I should dial. Thanks

Not too sure, I would just do look up some camera comparison reviews and make a call from there
 
Are there ads baked into the Miui 12 operating system? Do you get system ads on phones like the Redmi 9C/A?

If so, how annoying is it?

Most can be disabled, and the ones that can't I don't even notice. Think it is only when you install an app, it pops an ad up while scanning it. Maybe I just don't notice others though
