My covers are still stuck under processing over at Gearbest :(

Guess I should not have taken the bloody Air-mouse/IR Blaster on the same order. Its the only item that shows "ships on 04 May". When I saw 1 day Special for $5 I just could not resist.
 
Testing out Franco Kernel on 28th NOS build with Magisk, Servicely and Naptime installed. On 86% with 1h28m screen on so far. Let's see how it goes...

Cool, I see
Note 4 = $170
Note 4X = $179

Only diff in specs is literally Bluetooth and a couple of LTE Bands. http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8580&idPhone2=8531

Currently on 4X and I must say I love this phone, so much that my Mi5 is back in the box.

i also found this on GB http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_604987.html?wid=4

it is a Note 4 3/64 for $166. the only difference i can see is that it has the Helio X20 rather than Snapdragon 625.

Does anyone have it? how does it compare? because it's cheaper and higher on board memory

I had a Note 4 x20 that I used for about a month and then sold it to a friend in order to get a Note 4X SD625. The X20 battery did not last as long as the SD625 but was a small margin faster. Also if you not really bothered about flashing ROM's I see no problems getting it at all. Reason I mention flashing is that most international dev's will most likely have access to the SD625 as X20 is for sale in Asia only.

Thanks for the detailed reply! people like you make this forum awesome :cool:

most likely will jump on the SD625 later this afternoon. Dual sim and battery longevity is more of a plus to me than additional storage space. can always manage that on the side.

from what i read in other posts the additional costs should be:
DHL around $30
insurance $6
customs etc with DHL R300

which should bring the total to +- R3000 each.

does that sound about right?

DHL customs cost varies based on R/$ but should be about R300-350 but yes that sounds about right.

Side Note: I still haven't figured out what the difference between DHL(EXT), DHL(HK) and plain DHL is. I used all 3 and they all get here in the same amount of time. Maybe someone else can help here?

I have a spare case that fits the Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (152mm) that I want to sell as I don't own the phone anymore. It is a genuine leather case. I payed around R90 for it + R30 customs. So I am willing to sell it for R200 shipping included. I am based in Bloemfontein. Check the Imgur link to see what it looks like:

Any takers?
 
The Redmi Note 3 can hold it's own against the more expensive Huawei P9 Lite. I think the covers and screen protectors on Takealot are the right ones for the Redmi Note 3 16gb.

Seems like the user reviews state that the screen protectors are 2mm short.
