it's nice IMO, but the metal body of redmi note 3 makes it more attractive. But the memory card ish is still a deal breaker. But USBOTG flash drive can suffice. And not make one feel it.but in summary it's nice phone

yea i tot about it too, with the help of an OTG cable i can always used an sdcard. What material is the redmi note 3 back panel made of?

thanks alot. Guess i'll have to make a choice from Letv 1s x500 and redmi note3

I'm about getting a new smart phone, But i'm not sure which one to go for.
I like Infinix zero x509 , but the screen is a bit small, and it dose'nt support OTG and i don't know what to expect from infinix and their batteries or even camera.
Then HTC desire 820 is another phone i love the finishing and would have gone for it, but after reading users review on GSM and phonearena about it, i'm not too sure again. They all seem to be complaining about the battery and how it gets really hot while using it. And to think it dose'nt have OTG aswell.
Finally Sony xperia Z2 seems a perfect phone, but at 60k(london used) , its a bit pricey. ( money is really hard to come by these days).
So please guys should i just go for Z2 or you think x509 or 820 are good value for my money?

I think your taste in phones and mine are completely different. Can't help you on this one. I don't like HTC tho

lol. Ok henry if you have 50-60k to spend on a phone, which one will you go for?

karferguso:

around #43k-#45k for the 16 gb rom.....check Elijahdre and initialize and see for ursef

i heed your advice and checked out thess guys, i was totally satisfied with their work. So i decided to give one of them a call, Elijadre happened to be my prefered choice so i called him, but it was a total disaster, he sounded very unfriendly and irritated throughout the duration of our call. I was trying to seek his opinion before i finally settle for a device, instead he just snapped at me, telling me to go straight to the point and not waste his time, i was very disappointed at his poor customer service. Then i tried initialize we spoke for close to 20mins, and he answered all the questions i could remember to ask him. Very satisfied with him

Letv 1s x500, unless Oga OmichealO can make me change my mine. They are pretty much same device, specs wise (dont know about perfomance). Thou redmi note 3 bossed it in the battery deptment, Letv s1 looks prettier to me.

according to the specs I saw. it uses type C USB, which doesn't have usbotg yet.. I might be wrong. when if there is, it's scarce..

but if you're not a fan of USBOTG. ✔✔✔ for letv

That's the major.

please i dont really get you, i tot all smart phones (except apple) uses usb type c?.
Whats scarce?.
If i am going to buy a phone with no sdcard slot, then USBOTG is a most.
Please make me understand what you mean.

Its probable you caught him on a bad day or some other stuff. I bought my redmi note 2 from Elijahdre and through out the whole process He was nothing but respectful and polite.

I understand first impressions matter a lot but I urge you to give him a try you won't regret it.

Guy, are talking about the same Elijahdre I know or what, the one I just ordered my Gionee m5 from,two weeks ago.
ElijahDre is the best in the field that I have ever met, his customer service is like no other.
Even when I haven't ordered the phone yet, he was very friendly; more like a father. Gives u advice on what to do and what not to do and also reasons behind it.
when I finally ordered, he calls from time to time to make sure I receive my phone in the right time.
He even gave me a discount and added a free otg cable on top making it two otg cables.
so bro, I doubt what you have just said.
From now till ever, Elijah is still the most friendly phone dealer one can ever do business with.
He is not perfect, of course no one is perfect but the way he deals with his customers is highly commendable, I never regret patronizing him.
I'm ordering another m3mini from him soon!!

SO NIGGA WHOLLOP!!!

Wao.a customer pointed my attention to this. Am not here to defend myself but just to apologise if ure not pleased the way I sounded when u called. I must have been battling with something unpleasant which was not even a good reason to have transferred aggression. Once again am sorry sir. Irrespective of who you eventually buy from, our aim is for you to be satisfied with your gadget. Pls accept my apology. It's unlike me

whatever that means, i know its a faceless forum alright, but avoid inappropriate language when addressing people. good to know he's not always like that.
