Was at the Xiaomi dealer in MBK today. The Note 7 Pro isn't launched in Thailand yet, the agent told me it was actually getting launched at some Bangkok hotel today. So no stock at the moment but they expect to have stock in about a week. As for price he didn't know for sure but guessed around 7000 Bt. I'll be back in Bangkok in 3 weeks to get my flight back to Perth and may well pick one up then. If you're interested you can phone 020011029 in a week and ask about price and availability. At another store I also checked out the Huawei Y9 (2019) priced just under 6k...the camera took some nice test shots...but I just have a feeling the Note 7 Pro will be the best for me.

Sent from my Redmi Note 6 Pro using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app I'm flying back to Oz in 2 weeks and will buy a new phone before I go. My short list is the Note 6 Pro, Huawei Y9 (2019), and Samsung M30. All these phones are 6,990 THB. I'd prefer to get the M30, I think I saw one in BKK for 6,990Bt, but I may have made a mistake and the one I saw was the A30, which ain't as good. If I can find the M30, I'll get that, otherwise it's the 6 pro or the Y9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one chooses a more expensive phone why does it infuriate those who prefer a cheapo? I really don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is from 2 months ago but which one did you end up getting? there was a post on Twitter recently saying that the Note 7 pro would not be released outside of India (and China I guess) I was waiting for that one too but just went for the Redmi Note 7 128gb instead, I think it was 6770 baht, the 64gb version was 6570 (200 baht less) lovely phone so far, I didn't like the MiiUI which seems to be somewhat of a clone of what IOS is doing (all the apps on the background with no app locker) so I installed Nova Launcher and that was that. there's a few weird ads that were popping up on certain apps but you can disable them until they all stop. I was replacing a Asus Zenfone 3 Laser which I had dropped too many times, still worked fine but seemed to overheat and be quite useless after a few minutes. this one is much better. the only thing I had issues with so far is the fact that it doesn't take the micro SIM cards, only NANO which mine isn't (I could cut it but can't be bothered to screw it up) a short trip to DTAC fixed that. just need to find a good phone cover (one comes with it) and a screen cover and then i'll be good.

Last month I got a Note 7 from the Xiaomi dealer at MBK. They didn't have the 128gb version, I got the 64gb. Cost was 6570 and I got 300bt VAT refund back at Swampy, so final cost was 6270. It's OK but I'm not madly in love with it. As a phone I prefer my old Huawei as it's smaller size and simple to use. However I'm very impressed with the cameras on the Note 7, which is the only reason I wanted a new phone. I also had the SIM card issue, I was back in Australia this past month and my Vodafone SIM had a nano size, so no probs there but when I got my DTAC SIM out when I was returning back to Thailand I found I couldn't use it. So I had to carry 2 phones back to Thailand so I could use my DTAC SIM as soon as I arrived. Next day I went to a DTAC store and they changed my number to a nano SIM for me. So all is well now. As for covers, I use the free plastic cover that came with the phone. Haven't bothered with a screen protector as it's Gorilla Glass 5 and I'm very careful when handling the phone. I did buy a case to wear it on my belt (got one in MBK for 99bt) but it's a bit big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size bothers me a bit, OK for a gal who'll keep it in a shoulder bag/purse but it's a tad large for a guy to wear on his belt. But great cameras, since getting the Note 7 I've sold my digital cameras and just just the phone cameras now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Prophet Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 23 minutes ago, BritManToo said: Huawei is under 6k now. I got tired of waiting for the Xiaomi Note 7 pro and debated endlessly between the Huawei Y9 2019 and the Xiaomi Note 7. I like the slightly larger size of the Huawei and the pictures taken with the Huawei shown on internet reviews looked better than the Xiaomi. I like the glass back of the Xiaomi rather than the plastic back of the Huawei. The slightly lower price of the Huawei was not a consideration. In the end, I chose the Huawei because there are now dedicated stores selling Huawei phones, so repair should be very easy if required. I have had it for about a week now and it works very well. My Asus Max Plus that the Huawei replaces has a few features that I liked that seem to be lacking on the Huawei, but perhaps I just haven't activated them correctly. The screen icons do not have individual notifications, and I have to pull down the notification screen from the top to see what e-mails/messages have come. Bit of a pain. I am not sure if it is better or worse that the Xiaomi Note 7 since I haven't tried the Xiaomi, and probably won't. For the price, hard to beat, I think.

I watched scores of comparison vids on YT, it was mainly cameras I was interested in, both Note 7 and Y9 were top of my list. if I didn't get the Note 7 then it'd been the Y9. Wasn't any big diffs in the cameras. In the vids I watched I slightly preferred the Note 7 cameras, but much of that is subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they wouldn't have the 128gb as .. I don't see many people who would say "ohh i'll just save 200 baht and take the 64gb" even tho you can just buy a memory card for it as well, the great microSD are a bit more than 200 baht ???? had the hardest time to find a screen cover/film locally too, i did find one but the guy didn't let me see it first, it had some black part at the bottom (not unlike the phone which is not 100% screen) and that part was bigger than the already black part (if that makes sense) anyways it looked okay when he did it but once phone is unlocked you can tell that its blocking about 10-20% of icons on the bottom menu (annoying but hey) so i went ahead and bought 2 different (and clear) ones off Lazada along with a black case with bumps in the corners I preferred black personally even if it is dullish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
