Xiaomi Note 3 now R1899

Do yourself a favour and buy your covers and screens off ebay or aliexpress now so it gets to you soon. There's little to nothing in SA /Bidorbuy/Takealot/Raru/Loot or China Mall
 
Pity the takealot one didn't come with a cover. But my wife turned her old redmi note 2 into one that fits
 
Still happy with the 4A - lags a tiny bit (this only started after the MIUI update :( ), but more than suits my needs - most impressive is the battery life - I get about two days with moderate use. it actually sat on 100% for two hours today :p
What kind of things cause it to lag? That battery life sounds crazy good.
 
Ordered this of Aliexpress. It's at Durmail atm. Sandstone feel a la OnePlus One. Lots of guys recommended for the Kate

Probably just me - their service is **** - with one order they told me to wait 60 working days before they'll assist.

sigh. will give them a few more days - but if really no concrete feedback form geekbuying then paypal complaint it is. major reason i opted for Paypal payment is to have this option.
ah well - so we learn.
 
I can check when I get home. But damn R200 cheaper than I bought it a week ago.

Suspect they getting rid of old stock before the Note 4's officially land in SA.

Personally I can not wait for this cause some moron bought the wrong screen covers and not gonna import one on its own.
 
They are definitely clearing stock but that's fine the note3 still has enough clout
 
I reckon this is the Kate, which works better with our LTE networks. Good price, unless you have eBucks connections

crap, aren't the custom roms designed mainly for Kenzo? my only real reason to buy it is for the battery and stock android.

Not sure - I have found MIUI to be close enough to stock to be fine, definitely doesn't feel bloated

Random things... Like occasionally if you start typing it takes about half a second before characters appear.

I just remembered I switched to the Google Now launcher, which might also be the problem.
