**** The Official Chinese Phones Thread ****

Can't you buy Xiaomi devices in the UK officially though? Surely they work with Google Pay.

I saved around £300 buying the same model , currently I'm eyeing up the OnePlus 12 which is likely to be around £799.99 16gb / 512gb when it's sold here the CN version I can currently buy the 12GB/256GB £547.26 , 16gb/512gb for £611 or 24gb/1TB £728.86 once flashed basically no difference it's very satisfying

Will the CN version of OP12 have band 20 tho or the 5G band for that matter
Had the OP X and poco F2 pro from CN but both had band 20 back then.

Just got the update to download Hyper OS Android 14 for my F5 Pro. Think I will leave it a bit see what problems might arise.

Brilliant phone i upgraded from an F3.Really fast and all day battery life.Couldn't really say how good/bad camera is i'm not a camera buff.To be honest i would probably have been as well getting the cheaper F5 but i wanted the wireless charging on the Pro.

Just sitting here mulling over whether to pull the trigger on a Poco X6 Pro.

Is hyperOS much different to MIUI in terms of interface? I dislike MIUI so run a custom rom but if hyperos is a lot different Id consider moving back.

What the hell is going on? Trying to find some info about the new HyperOS that comes with the phone I just ordered and literally every video on Youtube is some Indian that you can't understand.

OP12 baby

Got the bootloader unlocked this weekend on my CN Xiaomi mi 11 ultra. The 168 hour wait was a pain!

Flashed Xiaomi.EU rom, and couldn't be happier, everything just works as it should, Android Auto, banking, pay, and watch etc.

My Pixel 8 Pro might heading to the MM before long, the mi 11 ultra is just a joy to use

OP12 baby

The pre-order bonus of some B&O headphones seems pretty good - I'm half-tempted myself! Not had a Oneplus since the three, might be time to get them another whirl.

 

[uscool]

just seen the pricing of the OP12 here, Think I'll go with CN version 16gb/512gb currently at £589.43 and flash Oxygen myself looks straight forward . not fussed about the headphones

Never had Oneplus before just seen some reviews of the battery life and its got my attention overall specs looking good for the price I can get it for
