I wanted the non-pro version, I don't want to carry a tablet in my pocket or spend 10k on a phone.

Thats the problem now and the Redmi sub brand used to be cost effective.

If that's what you want then you should rather get a Poco. For less than the price of the Note 15+ you can get the F7 with far superior Snapdragon 8 and double the storage. It's proper flagship performance...

We have imported a few from Amazon USA. Just make sure that it is the "International model"

how do you see that
according to the website i asked a guy and he sent a list of frequencies and it matches what we have
What website? Most shops include Chinese / International / Malaysian etc in the description. The biggest differences are that some 4g and 5g frequencies don't match and the lack of Google services - especially on the Chinese version.

Watched a Mr Whose the Boss vid last night, did a geekbench benchmark, most of the phones got between 3000-3500 on CPU single core test.
Decided to do it on my Note11...it got 413 (not a typo), Jirre.

But do you really need that extra power/speed? As long as the phone does what you need it to do for your daily tasks and it's fast enough.......why buy a new one?

That's my way of looking at things.
What is the average result for other 5-year old mid-range phones?
It was only released in 2022/02.

Amped for the Leica Leitzphone.
Just ran the test on a Sammy A26 Released March 19 2025, same price as I paid for the note 11.
Score is 1003.

Looks good from a frequency point of view. The model number 25080RABDG ending in G indicates it's the global version - there's also a C version (China), I (India) and probably more depending on where they wanted to sell it that requires changes for the local market.
