gidieberry:
exactly what i said earlier, if not for aliexpress i will argue wif any1 over diz, do any1 if d redmi note 4 launch in Taiwan z d snapdragon variant cauz d variant launch in Pakistan z d snap version... dis z a pure marketing strategy frm xiaomi, dt band 20 in d snapdragon international version z a huge deal for european buyers...

GrandMufti:


The Taiwanese market use band 28 so this is not for them. Also, xiaomi don't have any factory in Pakistan so there is no official launch of note 4 or any other xiaomi phone in Pakistan. It's most likely they were shipped from India as they are next door neighbors.

GrandMufti:


seen clearly. But there is no official word of this model by xiaomi, not even on miui forum. The closest info on note 4 snapdragon is that they'll release a matte version of the phone. Well Goodluck with the purchase.

gidieberry:
Gee, xiaomi z officially in pakiatan now, they released redmi 4a, redmi note 4 n mi max...they re selling dia fones thru online e-commerce same as they do in India, try to verify thinz b4 u jus reject thinz....

dustmalik:

I think I may have come across certain Info that it'll be launched on the 8th of March, but I've forgotten where I saw that info.

gidieberry:


xiaomi does not have any factory in pakistan, abegi, must a phone OEM compulsory have a factory in a country b4 a phone cn b launched dere, samsung do official launch of fones here in nigeria, abegi gimme location of dia factory

GrandMufti:


I need not open the link. The underlined says it all An online store is selling it, not like they have official presence like having a service center or factory, just like in India, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia.

GrandMufti:


The matte abi? The looks over make sense

gidieberry:
chisos!!! why are u so pragmatic? when xiaomi officially entered india market n launched fones, they partnered wif online e-commerce as well, service center was catered for later....n it was recently they had a manufacturing plant in india bcz of indian givernment legislation n regulation, the whole "made in india" stuff.... Xiaomi z officially in Pakistan, finish!!! leave it or take it.... having a factory aint compulsory b4 an OEM has an official presence in a country

GrandMufti:
@gidieberry

You might actually be right about the note 4. Perhaps it could be that it was launched in Taiwan or Hong Kong.

The same way they quietly launched the note 3 SE. But in that scenario, it was announced in the miui forum.

gidieberry:
LMAO

Dam5reey:

The phone is quoted above 150$

Take this thread as a case study... How many people did you see here buying Note 3 pro SE Cos of Glo bands?

4llerbuntu:
wonder why these prices keep going up. 4A used to be less than $100 one tine na abi?

i need something cheap, less than $100 so i can pay for it once

GrandMufti:


That is why I said 'the least' because the other higher versions use snapdragon. I prefer to wait for aliexpress before I Can say anything about pricing. But I expect it to be a bit high because of the build quality

Dam5reey:


Alright, then But what will make me buy Nokia 6 for 375USD?

Abeg make Nokia park well... I dont see what is special about 3310 for Over 50USD, that is about N20,000. no whats app

rookidmart:

AliExpress will have anniversary sale on the 28th of next month.
If they increase prices now by then they can offer "huge discounts"

40manlappy:

Mine took six days to ship but I believe Dreami stores took it seriously after I messaged them to complain bitterly but politely.
You can try it too.
Same thing yesterday. My item was stuck at handover to airline for nearly 7 days and I complained again. Three hours later, after he/she promised to look into it, it was updated to despatched to Nigeria.

Message them they will respond and are very helpful. Trust me you won't irritate them at all.
All the best.
