And there's Mi9t for $340

pretty incredible that you can get flagship tier phones for those prices now

Neither has a IR blaster @DarkWorld25

I'm starting to assess whether it's worth having cause it severely limits the phones you can have

Pretty much it's a Huawei or Xiaomi Mi9 atm

Or the new Note 10/CC9 Pro but that's way too dear

But tbh $800 for what you get with the Note 10 might actually be worth it

And Huawei is either too exxy or has no LOS builds

Any ideas on what to spend the 1$?

a cable

so it seems to be I never got the USD$20 coupon

or maybe I have no fucking idea where it's located

Where do you get it

I think it's only a select coupon, so I may not get the best price that way

Oh

IDK anyone else feels this year sucks?

It's 3:42am and I can't find anything decent or worth

I'm a bit disappointed in phone prices tbh

i only needed to buy 1 thing but im super hyped for 11.11

Xiaomi Mi5 - purchased Sep 2016 on Ali - $364
Xiaomi Mi6 - purchased Jan 2018 on Ali - $469
Current cheapest price for a Xiaomi Mi9 64GB = $519 on eBay

If I were to buy on Aliexpress it would be around $530 including shipping and GST

GST and the weak dollar really screws any chances of deals

What about Redmi Note 8 Pro?

In Australia obv

that's the one I'm looking at

Oh

probs the 6/64 but the 6/128 only seems to be another NZD$20-25 more

My criteria pretty much is it needs to have B28 and a IR blaster

I want 5" form factor device, but that doesn't seem doable

the IR blaster can be a tough one

Yeah exactly, I'm come to learn Band 28 is super fucking important down here in ANZ

so you just cannot buy the Chinese Model

The Mi9 has B28 regardless I think

If you get the Global RN8P then you get Band 28

But the thing is you can get a Mi9T for ~$440 or something

Mi9T Pro* I mean

But no IR blaster and it's xbox heug

I think I'll just have to put lots of phones into the cart and see what one gives the best price

I read something on OzBargain today

If you can't afford 5 of something, you can't afford it

I don't think I can afford 5 Mi9T or Mi9

And I reckon the Mi5 still has another ~6 months in it or so
