Im thinking of buying it from Aliexpress from some reputable sellers(i think), but idk...
I was gonna buy from GearBest but read some bad reviews.
Should i pay for DHL or something shipping to New Zealand - so that it gets here fast and safer?

Hello fellow kiwi!
I got my Redmi Note 3 through Aliexpress - this seller here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...xa-Core-5-5-3GB-RAM-32GB-ROM/32597684693.html
It was dispatched with tracking number within 2 days, and I got it within a week to the UK. I think it's similar timeframe to ship to NZ. Excellent customer service

Normal shipping or DHL? I'm looking to get one too.
Do they come with locked boot loaders? I am thinking of getting one to replace my Lenovo K3

Yeah, unfortunately they do. But there's a method posted here that let's you unlock it without waiting for Xiaomi to send you the code. As long as you're on MIUI, you can flash stuff and root without much problems tho.

Just ordered the phone here. Feel like a kid at Christmas time. I paid the 25 dollars for DHL shipping, so I'm promised it'll be here within 4 to 8 working days. Looking forward to playing with this device! I'll let you know how long the wait was.

Well the site that I gave has EU warehouse for some equipments it took 2 working days to arrive; If you select EU clearance for selected equipments no VAT/Customs will be charged in PT;
If you don't select EU Clearance items will be sent for HK and then if you select shipment through DHL, DHL will be in charge of customs and VAT fees; Through normal Currier will be a matter of "luck" that the package is checked in Customs Control;
I'll be in India for three days next month, and I'm interested in buying this cellphone. Is there any physical store I can go to? Or maybe I could order the phone from flipkart in advance and ship it to my hotel. What's the best option? Thank you!

Flipkart is your best option offline stores will help black marketing and may cost you 500,1000rs more.
Flipkart or mi.com/in is your best option, there are also official xiaomi stores in which you can buy it at the same price as online, complete list of stores is available on official xiaomi website(https://mobile.mi.com/in/service/mihome/)
Also note that only the 6+128 GB model is available for open sale, for any other model you can only buy it once a week(generally Wednesday at 12 noon)
Hi Guys,
Just done some research on the pricing of the Xiaomi Mi 9 128GB (Global Version) which has an expected shipping date from 25th March 2019 (according to clove.co.uk)
Link: https://www.clove.co.uk/xiaomi-mi-9
As usual us in the UK will be hit heavily by VAT and will have to pay £549.00 for 128Gb variant.
They also have pre order pricing for Nokia Pureview 9 and Xperia 1 on their site and that matches tthe amazon.co.uk pricing

Same! £100 saving eh. Noice!
Gosh Clove is expensive.
I just went on my hols and bought mine from a random shop in Barcelona.
€499 for 6/128GB or about £429.00.
Any road up, it's still a bargain. The benchmarks on gsmarena beat all Huawei phones including the P30 in Performance Mode and at less than half price! Even then you can't use Huawei phones in PM mode for long as they get too hot lol.
4 days to go for bootloader unlock and counting.....
Cheers

Starting this thread for anyone that buys the international version which releases this week... let us know where you bought it and how much you paid... I'm interested in this phone like many but have limited places in USA to look to buy (most are charging well over the actual price). This will help all of us find the cheaper places to possibly get this phone! Thanks in advance!
So far, I've found:
CLOVE UK: 644.00 pounds (around $820 USD)
EASYCELL: $1050 CAD (again around $800+)
I'm thinking this is high for this phone as if should only be $599 - $649 USD...
Go for the Chinese vesrion which is cheaper and bootloader unlockable. 537 euros only.

Not possible atm as far as I know.
I am from USA and looking to purchase the global version for a similar price as flipkart is selling in India. I want this phone but damn its hard to find one for a decent price that isnt insanely marked up.
Giztop sells for $720 for 8gb ram 256gb rom but thats the chinese version. Anyone in USA had luck finding this phone for sale?
Let's get a list of places where this will be selling including importing.
WondaMobile expecting to ship by Oct 15th. This is with 256gb rom £759 which is slightly cheaper than UK pricing with double storage. https://www.wondamobile.com/sony-xperia-5-ii-8gb-ram-256gb-sim-free-unlocked.html
Otto (and maybe others?) offers a promotion product (Sony »WF-1000XM3 True Noise Cancelling«) additional to the mobile: https://www.otto.de/p/sony-xperia-5...2-mp-kamera-1225041412#variationId=1225041413
It is already available here in Sweden since a few days ago for ca 865€ bundled with WH1000XM3 headphones.
I am waiting for the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro but this is tempting too. I could buy it, sell the headphones and get some of the cash back so phone will be closer to my budget but I am not sure if I wanna do that since the front camera is same as on Xperia 1 II and that one was so crappy according to user reviews so what if this one is crappy too. Also no 30w or faster charging like on Chinese brand phones.
Any other places selling the 256gb model?
Be good to know if there is any way to get hold of the elusive grey model here in the UK. Not interested in black or blue, but the overseas sites like Expansys only have black blue or pink. Grey seems to be available in Europe, but not UK - unless Vodafone get it as an exclusive colour which they normally do with Xperias.
Vodafone always last to the party adding Xperias to their site though which is annoying.

Yes, exactly. Poor front camera and also missing wireless charging / face unlock are the real issues that bugs me on such a nice phone for US$950. Still can't understand why Sony used such a bad Samsung (!) sensor on their top tier "Photo Pro" smartphone. That's ridiculous!
Buy swedish products from the UK

Is there anyway you know I can get the Sweden deal from the UK? In the website it appears you can only use Sweden as country for delivery.
That grey model + the better WH1000 compared to the h.ear 3 headphones looks really enticing.

Would love the same thing. Doesn't look like its possible. Really annoying Sony hasn't given the UK the grey model.
£655 at tecobuy https://www.tecobuy.co.uk/en_UK/sony-xperia-5-ii-5g-daul-sim-8gb-256gb-blue-5.html

I don't think so unfortunately.
I think all Sony deals are country specific.
Belsimpel had a 300€ cashback offer on Xperia 1 II so could get the phone for ca 735€ after cashback but only if you have a NL address.
Same with this offer, you need Swedish address.
I preordered the Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro for 650€. They are giving away Xiaomi Mi Essential Electric Scooter worth ca 300€ for free if you pre order before 21st October.
For me that's a better deal since I don't need headphones and I find the scooter more useful.

For any US buyers I highly suggest getting it from WondaMobile. I ordered mine last Wednesday 10/21/20 and selected free shipping. It was listed as 9-12 business days, but I just got it yesterday 10/26/20. Even shipping from Hong Kong it got here that fast. WondaMobile pays import taxes if you are outside of Europe, and you get more than one color, 5G support, 256gb. I ordered the blue model and it worked with my existing TMobile sim out of the box. It cost me 955 USD, 5 dollar premium to Sony's direct pricing the US, except you the more colors, 256gb, and you get it before December. Sadly no bonus goodies like some EU sellers, but it is easily the best way to get your hands on one in the US.

Does unlock mean the bootloader is also unlocked?
Btw, "... and install essential apps" and "Our software preparation exceeds that of all competitors." sounds fishy comming from an HK (China) reseller
bol.com has quite cheap prices
