Are they reliable?I ordered mine on Antelife, the 3GB Version for 237 Euro. You can make a tax insurence for 17 Euro, so its still not much money for that phone
Yes they are
Where did you calculate the customs charge?Yes they are
Mine is also coming from China, but with DHL shipping and Tax and Customs insurence its still just 270 Euro. Some sites sell it for 270 without shipping or anything included. So i think 270 with everything included is a good deal
What do you mean? You get the Customs charge back from them if you bought Customs insurence.
Isn't customs a tax you pay for importing good from non EU countries? So you saying if they don't charge, they will refund you? How much was your customs charge?
In germany you just pay a VAT of 19% of the value of the good you are importing + shipping costs. No other tax on Smartphones. For me its 237 Euro + 17 Euro shipping = 48 Euro VAT. And i paid 19 Euro for the insurence at Antelife, so i get back the 48 Euro if they charge me (and i think they will, because its shipped with DHL).
It's half the price (at least here, in Portugal) of the Nexus 5x if you order your 4C (3/32GB)from a retailer in europe. I've used Nexus for 3 years and was excited to see the N5 getting an upgrade this year until I saw the price and the 2GB of Ram. I couldn't care less about the fingerprint reader and the camera on Mi 4c is brilliant ( the Nexus 5c does take better shots on low light, but that's it).
I have a Redmi 1S and it is still supported with MIUI. CyanogenMod and others (like mokee) also worked pretty quickly for it. You can easily remove any bloatware from MIUI aswell so there isn't really much of a downside other than the updates will come with a small delay and it'll be community made mostly. Then again for me at least it's worth it to save 200 euros!
Poor girlfriend, no new phone for her
tomorrow i'll keep waiting behind the door for the DHL man
Honorbuy, bought it on thursday, received today
Hah, I see a lot of us here, Nexus 4 owners who didn't like the N5x price/value and went for this.
To be honest, MIU looks great their attempt to copy the looks of IOS created a very good looking and interesting hybrid.Hah, I see a lot of us here, Nexus 4 owners who didn't like the N5x price/value and went for this.
After almost a week with my new Mi4C with the EU rom, let me tell you this: I don't miss AOSP so far. And I've used it for 3 years on my N4 and for a year now on my N9. I'm not even tempted to use Cyanogen on this.
Also, the EU rom is already very good but it has some intermittent issues with screen reactivity, so I'm even tempted to flash the chinese stable rom, root it, debloat it (it's just a matter of deleting/disabling a few Mi* apps), flash some 64bit gapps and run it like that.
Let me know..I might follow the foot steps...
I'll try something on the weekend. If I'm able to debloat it and remove all the micloud stuff I'll post here... No promises however.To be honest, MIU looks great their attempt to copy the looks of IOS created a very good looking and interesting hybrid.
I'm also not interested in following the CM path, already had that in the days of my HTC Desire HD and don't miss the constant flashing and reflashing, it's fun for a while but then you just need a stable every day phone.
If I could have an AOSP on the mi4c to pair with my N9 would be great, to be honest I hate different interfaces on the devices, if not maybe debloating would be the way to go.
For what i've seen so far it's full of Xiaomi crap and cloud stuff... if you manage to do it and make a step by step guide :angel:
Nope, but you can got the Mi Remote apk from one of the miui/xiaomi forums (can't remember which), in english, and it works just fine.
