Buy la, even no warranty but $120 just whack it.

ya, it's only 120. is this price ok? i tried to ask one neighborhood shop on sat and the guy told me he dunno cos its an old model and he dont sell it. he advised me to avoid secondhand xiaomi cos it's problematic. and i should just buy a new xiaomi phone instead cos it's way cheaper than samsung. i suspect its just sales talk. :(

Get the Redmi Note 7 or upcoming Note 7 Pro. Redmi Note 6 Pro has exact same specs as Note 5 save for notch and secondary selfie camera.

Got a new local set Redmi Note 5 4/64 from Hachi Tech @ $249 to replace a family member's old Redmi Note 3. So far very pleased with the set. :)

TPG SIM works flawlessly (calls, sms and data) with the Note 5 which had a lot of issues of getting VoLTE to work with the older Note 3.

guys any advice for buying a used note 5? anything to look out for?

a friend is willing to sell his 64gb note 5 for $120. he told me the trade in price is less than 100 and he'd rather sell it to me for a bit more. is this price reasonable? he said it's only 1+ yrs old and the condition is ok. i have seen it and it hardly has much scratches, could be bcos it has always been keep in those wallet casing. the glass protection has a bit of scratches and i think that one can probably be replace for < 20?

my son lost his galaxy note 5 during cny and i tot i buy this for him. :(

If it's well kept, $120 is reasonable for an SD636.

I recently picked up my 3rd new Mi Max 2 for $168 but I think it's OOS right now.

From the MIUI browser app? Have a few instances with my Redmi 5 and my dad's Mi Max 2. I just turned off notifications from the MIUI browser.

I noticed that there is a 6gb ram version for the Redmi note 5, is this distributed and sold locally with it having warranty from MI?

Or is this something that individual sellers brought in by themselves?
