Hi,
1) Sites that are trusted are http://www.xiaomishop.com/ and http://www.ibuygou.com/
To name a few. I would recommend xiaomishop because you can choose to ship from Europe so you avoid customs, taxes etc
2) The phone will ship with normal MIUI which has Chinese or English language . If you want more languages see the multi rom version here http://xiaomi.eu/community/
3) Black was released in China only on the 28th of October. There is no date for international availability
4) For shipping, I would recommend http://www.xiaomishop.com/
Because they have a warehouse in Europe, make sure to choose that option to make thigns easier :good:
Hope I helped.
Regards
Thank you..
So there is no black version for other countries??
Also do you know vickomall. Com? It looks to have the best prices,

No black version in other countries, not yet.
Vickmall prices are the same as xiaomishop, 389 dollars. With Vickmall they are located in China so you will have to deal with customs and taxes whereas xiaomishop has a warehouse in europe so it will be easier for you :good:
But they want 35 euros for delivery, and that is ridiculous...
since today, the black version is available on xiaomi's shop. Just ordered mine.
I've ordered both my Mi3 and Mi4 from xiaomiworld
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4
Is it still worth buying? I don't really care a lot about LTE. I was wondering if is still a good choice Mi4 64GB and how much should i pay for a second-hand ? 300€?
Yes it is worth byuing, i'm going to update my white to black version when i see good price. Don't care 4G either, all frequencies are not supported here so i'm not gonna pay extra for it.
I like especially display and camera, also speaker phone works very well compared to other phones i've had. MIUI v6 is still work in progress, but xiaomi.eu developer versions have been good enough for daily use, not major problems so far.

absolutely! Been using it for a few weeks now and can't spot any disadvantage. Only the battery seems a bit weak, but up to now, i always got past one day without the need of recharging.

I'm curious how many folks out there are going to wait to see when/if and then buy the US-compatible version of the Ascend Mate 7 or are going to buy the version that's out now?
Wait .....

I think u should wait a bit because I m a Pakistani and on HuaweiPakistan fb page they are indicating that mate7 is gonna available very shortly. In Pakistan we get international version always not Chinese ones. So i hope it would support all bands of LTE being used in USA.

As a seller, can we participate in this thread?:laugh:
Our opinions for USA consumers would be, to wait for the USA version.
For EU consumers, our opinion is that the current Chinese premium MT7-TL10 shall work flawlessly in many EU countries and it offers more advantages that it carries the most complete TDD bands in the entire market.
If you are not mainly based in NA and are a frequent traveler, we highly recommend the current Chinese premium MT7-TL10.
And one more advice if we could offer: get the 3 GB RAM version for this high-end phone. It worth the bucks you are to pay.

I can't walk around with a gold phone. I just can't. What was Huawei thinking only releasing the higher-end version in gold?

HUAWEI believes it is a premium phone only for VIP man/woman.
Seriously, the MATE is targeting at high-end market. The gold color looks better in hands though. And it can be covered with the leather case.
Gold is kind of cool

For me, the gold color was kind of appealing. It stands out where all the other devices seem to do wood (at the most extreme, to me, which is not extreme) to just plain black. If I get one more "black" device, I'll lose it. You'd think manufacturers would get that we want color in our devices. Not just the same old drab non-colors.
I wouldn't mind different colors, but I think that gold is quite possibly the ugliest color you could put on a device. I'd be more likely to buy literally any other color of device than gold. I spent 2-4 minutes trying to think of another color that came close to as bad as gold but I can't think of one. I prefer not to have a case on my phone, and even with a case you'd still be able to see little slivers of color on it.
So, I went to the Huawei Mobile Phone store site and posed the following question:
You're updating your answers that this will be released in a US-compatible version, WHEN will it be released in a US-compatible version? Please update as you say to buy it from the US Huawei shop but it's not even listed there, only the Ascend Mate 2 is listed. WHEN is this going to be available in the US and is it going to be compatible with T-Mobile?

This was their response:
Huawei Mobile
Thank you for your mail.
If Huawei Ascend Mate7 released in the United States, it will be compatible with T-Mobile's.

I think they mean "when" not "if" (not at all sure their English is very good).
Of course, all of this is without a date of when it will be released, but there you go. There's a few other countries that have asked about this and they seem to just be really slow at rolling out stock.
I think I understand why Huawei isn't so well known in the US, they seem unable to get stock, make the devices, whatever voodoo they have to do to fulfill a demand for a device they created.
I am not going to buy the Chinese model in lieu of waiting for the US compatible M7, but I'm inching closer to buying a competing product like the Note 4 or Nexus 6. It's been a month and a half since the Mate7 was announced, and I still couldn't tell you when it will be made widely available. The M7 is my preferred phone because of battery life, but I'm not going to wait much longer, when there are quality competitors becoming available in this space, to be honest.

I wrote this exact thing on their website. Their response, "Mate is low in stock right now.. "
I think I know now why they're considered #3 in worldwide sales and nor even considered by US carriers. They seem very lackadaisical about the urgency of coming to market with an announced product.
Sad really.
I have the premium gold chinese variant, and though I can't speak for US, it works fine in EU.
And the gold colour looks nice - I wouldn't really call it proper gold. anyway - it looks different to other flat black slabs that everyone else is carrying
Title says it all... Can't afford a new one...and ebay selection is limited
I doubt many used ones are on sale since it is a very hot deal and good phone specs. the phone is less than 5 months old after all. Good luck though

Buy from ebay.in 64GB and 4GB RAM. Use 10% disc coupon. But ask for TA1003 model only. TA1000 comes with modified ROM and you cannot update OTA.
But only seller warranty applicable as phone is imported.

Yes, this is exactly my question, why i have to wait like crazy to buy something for which i am ready to pay, its not a life saving medicine afterall. I remember waiting for meizu m3 note in same way, and with this same idiotic practice people lost their interest in phone and now no one cares about it.

Belsimpel.nl offers sim free European model and deliver almost everywhere in Europe.
Thanks for the hints guys.
Damn.... it costs as much as S20 Ultra. :/

yeah, that's unfortunate.
I found the Find X2 Pro on "Trading Shenzhen" for 927€ https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/vivo-oppo-realme-etc/2159-oppo-findx2pro-12-256.html
however it's a Chinese model. Most likely won't be able to flash Global ROM on it... but the price is very tempting!
already cancelled my Find X2 (non Pro) order, and I'm probably gonna buy the Pro from Trading Shenzhen.

I will wait to see the OnePlus 8 series announcement. If they are not better, I hope Oppo will be already available in more EU countries by then.

OnePlus 8 Pro looks impressive, but I'm not a fan of the green and the camera no quite on par from initial comparisons. What are your thoughts?

I also didn't like the green too much, but the blue version looks amazing on all reviews no matter that on oneplus' webpage the picture of the blue looks ugly. For the camera I agree that probably it won't be the absolute best but I wouldn't look at Oneplus anyways if the camera was my top priority. However I think it will be updated and it will be top-of-the-line. Oneplus is the king of updates and UX. The screen is the best, stereo speakers, fastest wireless charging. I also like that they removed the motorized camera tbh(i know this is subjective, but still). The curve of the screen is not something that I appreciate, but also I get used to this( I had the Vivo Nex 3, Huawei Mate 30 Pro) and don't mind in the end.
Some things I like better on the Find X2 Pro(the back finish for example and the faster wired charging), but OnePlus 8 Pro gets my vote because the community is beyond comparison so we will get all kinds of things to play with over here at XDA. +good battery +fastest wireless charging +the best screen +great camera +Oxygen(btw Find X2 Pro is similar) +best updates.
In the end -> I placed my pre-order of the blue 256GB model and hopefully will get it by the end of next week.

Looking at this, did you buy it? Is it dual-SIM. Website sort of makes out it is, but chatting to their team on facebook messenger, they say its a single sim??
Hi, do you know différences between chinese and global version ?

Hi, sadly I don't. I waited for two weeks (6 days for it to be in stock) and they still didn't send it despite having it in stock (despite their adverts saying thar they send phones 7 days a week until 11pm etc) and I cancelled the order and bought a P40 Pro instead.
I’ve ordered the orange variant from Belsimpel.nl, shipped Friday so hope to receive sometime this week (UK). Took a few days to get through fraud check as I’m not in the Netherlands but appreciate that is for my safety also. By the time i got through the checks it said 2-4 days to get stock in but they actually shipped immediately. Not sure if they put one to the side for me but doubt it!

I've took the gamble too. Have just ordered the black from belsimpel.nl
Looked at all the alternatives, and although some of the China ones were cheaper, they were all just 256gb. I would have liked dual sim but the chance of the phone not supporting android auto and/or wifi calling (plus only one year warranty - and the possibility of customs charges etc) was too much of a gamble. None of the Chinese merchants would commit.
Hopefully, this will arrive swiftly... nice black 512Gb single SIM for just over €1,204 including shipping. Reckon that even when(if) it turns up in UK it'll be similar price for 512Gb.
Ordering, like you say, was a bit of a miff... but I'll take that for security purposes.

Just for info, the tracking on mine was stuck, it still said it was waiting to be picked up by the courier for 3 days after it 'shipped'. It wasn't though it was in transit and arrived within 3 working days
Arrived 2nd Day after shipping. Has Android Auto, WiFi calling (yet to test), so currently quite happy
So as much as I like being back on Apple as it just makes my life that much simpler (only need one phone for work and home, everything just works, etc.), my curiosity and need to be on the "newest" shiny thing to come out over powered my reason...
With that, I did it... Hopped on liaow.com and pre-order the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra (He calls it the "Extreme Edition", its soooo extreme!!!!)
So I guess the question becomes, is anyone else getting this beast?
I preordered the 256GB 12GB version since I don't want go outrageous and didn't want to go into the +$1200 USD range... now I'll just wait for delivery hopefully in 2 weeks...!!! :good:
I am thinking of getting one. I am just waiting for a local store to respond if they can import it for me. If they can't, I will buy it from tradingshenzhen.
I heard both device will be for Chinese market ?

I just want a smart charging pad!!!
I am thinking to get one. Waiting for two information:
- JerryRigsEverything tests
- some devs to make custom rom that is closer to stock Android (the MIUI 12 is impressive tho)
Have any of you guys ordered any Xiaomi phones before to the USA after the ban happened? I'm afraid that the phone might get confiscated at the post office or something. I have the impression that the postal services are very anal about stuff coming from China these days and they have opened everything I order on AliExpress or wish. Anyone has any feedback on this matter?
Thanks ?
I Want one but really concerned that China only = no custom ROMs
Mine is on the way
Mine is also..
Silver
16 gb ram
512 rom
Also ordered 8gb 128gb variant, the 10 pro performed brilliantly with 8gb so can’t see why this would need any more.
Holy crap, liaow has the 12GB+256GB Transparent edition (and the 8gb too)
I'm THIS close to getting it. Might wait til payday... but wow,. I'm in mainland UK, Liaow should be ok right? Says they install English for you
Edit: I bit the bullet
Holy gee, they take Paypal credit which I use anyway and I get more than the cost of the phone in my bank next week... a no brainer. less than £900
It's coming!!!!!!!!!

Liaow. They're being really nice, the dude emailed me a few times to let me know things, to check I know what I'm doing, to see if I want it set to English, and he sent me a photo of the package with my address on
No band 20 / 800mhz for 4g in the UK though. So be careful what network you are on.. EE seem to support the most 4G bands (there's like, 2 bands for short and medium range in towns and cities, whereas the missing band 20 is the low frequency for the most coverage)
I also ordered one. However I am worried that some apps which I often use wont work:
UBS banking
Interactive brokers (stocks)
These apps probably rely on SafetyNet Check and will not work on the device as it has a Chinese ROM. Do you guys have any solution so that also secured banking apps will work?
Got mine Saturday... bought from liaow... 256GB 12GB Transparent... Breath Taking... Gets 5G with T-Mobile... I've also forced VoLTE Check & VoWiFi. Other than that.... China Rom of MIUI 12 is not too bad. "OK Google" works and with the installation of a 3rd party launcher (NovaLauncher) I got Google Discover as my leftmost screen. This thing is buttery smooth @ 120 refresh rate... haven't tried the fast charging as I don't want to ruin the accessories (don't know how long I'll keep this phone). Haven't field tested camera but I'm going on a short trip over Labor Day and plan to give it a run through. Battery life seems very decent.
