i hope the 6gb model is cheap enough

looks like xiaomi killer

More chinese crap ordered. TS100 soldering iron and accessories

I want a new phone, but I think I'm going to hold out to see where this googy fuchsia thing goes

lol that'll be years

just get a new phone now tbh

wait for the asus <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

eh i'd take a redmi note 5

but im a xiaomi fanboy

Im still on a Galaxy Note 3. Most of the good-but-budget chink phones seem to have similar specs

and like miui

But no NFC

just get a s9+ :^)

you wont regret

I will

Cos I'll look at my phone and be like "Wow I spent £1000 on a phone"

The redmi note 5 is a fucking beautiful phone.

I think I want a slightly smaller phablet than I currently have though.

the redmi note 5 is smaller lol

what u have

thats why you buy on contract

you just think

?
