P1n3apqlExpr3ss: Holy smokes the Xiaomi.eu 5.12.24 is so much better than 5.10.22 for any Redmi Note 2 users out there who haven't been bothered to update. Dropbox is uploading photos in the background for the first time ever and it seems OTA updates have been turned on (something that was previously restricted to the offical en.miui.com roms)

What was your update process? Mine is still on the purchase rom and researching it today I see it's something like install TWRP, put update rom from xiaomu.eu on SD card, reboot into TWRP and click install. Is that pretty much what you went through?
Also, have you created a mi account? Every other time I go to some feature it bothers me about using the cloud, it'd be nice to turn this off, but I suspect that one just has to register for a mi cloud account and then use whatever disable features that then allows access to. Like I believe disabling mi messaging.
540trickzter: My Redmi Note 3 finally arrived yesterday. It had a vendor installed rom, so I immediately got rid of it to get rid of the bloatware and potential malware and flashed the latest stable official stock MIUI v7.0.19.0 and manually installed Google apps. All working fine so far.

I'd be interested in your opinion of the Note 3. I have a Mi4i with MIUI 7.0.1 and it seems fine. looking at a large screen phone for the wife and as the so called flag ships are so darned expensive in this country and based on my Mi4i experience this would be good for her. If it was for me I'd be a little concerned with a new phone the lack of LTE band 28 (700 Meg) though it hasn't worried be too much with the Mi4i..

My opinion is based on coming from a Moto G 4G to the Redmi Note 3, and I have to say that it's a big improvement. The larger screen is great (going back to my Moto G is difficult as the screen seems so small now), fingerprint scanner works well, performance seems fine so far as I'm not getting the lag I was getting on the Moto G. Lack of Band 28 doesn't concern me. Only issue so far is push notifications aren't working properly, my gmail emails aren't getting pushed instantly like I was getting on my Moto G, not sure if it's a MIUI issue or what.
This is the best all round bang for buck phone currently on the market IMO. If you aren't in a hurry then you could wait as Xiaomi is apparently releasing a Snapdragon 808 version of the Redmi Note 3 soon.
If you do purchase this, I would recommend to get a tempered glass screen protector as the Redmi Note 3 doesn't have Gorilla Glass.
Anyway, this phone is only going to be my daily driver until the next Nexus devices get released. I was originally looking forward to the Nexus 6P until the specs and design was released which disappointment me. So hopefully this years Nexus' live up to my expectations.
