I've always one to be different and out of the ordinary with what I do. Currently my daily phone is a P40 Pro with full GSM installed and happy with it.
My eye has now been taken by the Mi 10 ultra and after reading and watching many reviews I've decided I'll take a punt on it but only after I'll instal the EU rom on it. My main concern is the UK banking apps PLUS Gpay. I've read that Gpay can be a problem so my question is, will I be able to use the UK banking apps PLUS a reliable Gpay if I instal the latest eu rom on the phone?
Have a look here -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-10-ultra/how-to/gpay-fix-eu-rom-t4168751
I've had no issues with the EU rom and Goole pay or banking apps. Santander thinks my device is rooted and won't work, and Lloyds group apps don't like fingerprint auth. What bank are you with?

I am with Nationwide plus Santander, I can manage without the Santander one but would need Nationwide. It's good to know that you have Google pay working as I've read many posts stating that it does not work.

Brilliant, thanks for that.
In your opinion, are there any downsides to this phone at all? Where did you get it from and did you manage to get it with no import duty taxes etc?
I can get the 8gb/256gb for about £727 from http://www.tradingshenzhen.com and if I choose a certain postage they tell me there's no extra to pay at all.

Just note the lack of band 20. It's only a problem if your using O2 or a network provider using O2s network. I use Sky via O2 and yes, there is no 4G but as everyone else is now using 4G, my 3G is super fast, so I have no issues but you do need to be aware of the lack of some bands.
I use Lloyds, no probs but as mentioned, no fingerprint at the mo while there is an issue with the CTS Profile, but still log in and use.
Got mine from Wondamobile, no import duties as they ship to Manchester and then to you, if there are any, they get them. Still here in 5 for me.
I bought from Wonda for £709 all in, as Sathelp mentioned they sort out import charges etc, they even gave me an Invoice with an IMEI on it for my insurance.
It actually only took 4 days from ordered to delivered.
My only problem is Gpay but I'm going to try the Magisk Rooted fix this week

Which version was that? I'm looking at the 8gb/256 one. It's the same price on tradingshenzhen but with a 2 week delivery.
I don't regret the purchase at all, sent my Note 9 off into the ether for some cash back and never looked back. The 12GB version runs fast, when I got it on Wonda it was £789 all in (extra shipping insurance was £7 ish)
For tradingshengzen they will ask you to pay £20 shipping and £30 if you want to use PP, so add £50 on top of their price (seen some good pricing on there actually).
Downsides are: no microSD expandable. Not IP68 certified. If you use GPay a lot you might miss it, seems hit and miss who can use it. I used it fine early this week but I hardly use GPay, I just use the 1 card I carry with me.
Nationwide works as normal, fingerprint etc.
The Chinese ROM seems fine, apart from random Chinese apps popping up, battery seems better, probably because Google services aren't eating up your battery. I unsynced 3 of my accounts and turn off G voice assist on EU Rom and battery seems better. I don't think you'll go wrong with either ROM, plus this phone is so cheap compared to Note 20 Ultra. Was actually looking at S20+ (not ugly S20 Ultra) but am glad I got the Mi 10 Ultra instead.

I have recently got the HTC One X which has NFC, I was refusing to get a phone without NFC but I have worked out in the UK it is useless. There are many NFC enabled payment terminals all over the country, every Gregs has one also Mcdonalds and many other shops, however there are no apps to utilise this technology. In the US they have Google Wallet, in sweeden (I think) they have pay-pal but we have nothing in the UK.
Does anyone know of any NFC enabled payment apps that will work on the three network in the UK on an unrooted phone?
I am getting really annoyed with the slowness of technology in the UK, there is no 4G, the underground has not made an NFC oyster card app and banks are not incorporating NFC into their apps either unlike a lot of others around the world.
What are you thoughts on this lack of technology available to us compared to other countries?

It's incredibly annoying. But I've been using Google Wallet for the past few months at McDonalds and Greggs. I used the initial $10 and then got my friend to purchase a $100 prepaid mastercard fro me in the US.
Orange say they'll be releasing their Quick Tap application to Android users with NFC phones some time soon, but I'm not sure about exactly how it will work. If it's going to use the built-in Secure Element, they'll have to get permission and secret codes from Google/HTC first. If it's going to use the SIM card as the secure element, then it will probably only work with Orange SIMs, which sucks.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure if they'll support the One X - it isn't supported with Google Wallet afterall.
I use a Galaxy Nexus and I worry that Quick Tap won't be supported, as I'm pretty sure they'll be using the SIM as the secure element, but I'm not sure if the Nexus actually has that functionality. We should know within about a month.

I think google have been very slack with their wallet app and will not reach the desired market by keeping it to one or two phones. There are loads of NFC enabled phones out there running on android and they need to sort them selves out.
I think the ONE X will be capable of running the google wallet if I could get it in this country without rooting.
I am hoping HTC will be able to see a market for this and create an app in the HTC hub, or it would be handy if mastercard or visa would make an app for everyone to use. I saw a visa advert the other day that was suggesting it could be used on samsung phones but I have seen no further explanations.

Don't get me started....
I'm hopeful that with the Olympics this year we will see a proper push for NFC payment to become widely available; there's the beginning of an infrastructure in place and numerous trials are underway or completing (O2, Barclaycard & Orange, etc).
Personally I'm hoping that Barclays move their Pingit app towards an NFC facility.
As far as what's available today in the UK, only the mini 'stick on' NFC credit card from Barclaycard - sucks really.
Yeah I would happily move banks to Barclays if I could use the ping it app with NFC, there was loads of articles around Christmas time saying google wallet was coming to the UK for the Olympics but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Only Orange's Quick Tap which is very limited availability. I seem to see NFC capable terminals everywhere nowadays too.
The Porsche Design is incredibly expensive. But they have announced a Mate 9 Pro, and is on their web site here. But no information on versions, or places to purchase.
Google search not turning anything up either.
Seems like this time of year would be good time to get this stuff out there and available.

It's only a limited release so far.
It's available in China, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Your only way of getting it would probably be to import a Chinese version. I've yet to see a Nordic shop ship internationally even though it would probably be preferable (albeit more expensive) to get one from a Nordic country.
Other than that, you can only cross your fingers and hope it sees a wider release. I'm guessing they're testing to see the reception of a curved amoled display for future devices.
Thanks
Sweden and most of the others appears to be pre order from 20th.
i've found a couple of shops in sweden that will ship to other countries when they do have stock...
If you find out where the Pro is available for purchase online, please post.
Yeah, a lot of people like me have interest on this Model.
Sure. Likewise, of course.
Misco in sweden will post overseas but they only taking pre orders and are not guaranteeing it'll be instock by 20th. They said telcos will get them first so maybe try them....

Yup. It sure is. Although it is not available from a supplier in the U.S.
One of my concerns about purchasing a phone that would not be from a vendor in the U.S. is support. Even if the support is 'good', timing for handling would be an issue, I presume. Maybe my concern is not valid...I don't know.
The other thing for me is if I purchase a phone (especially one in that price range) I want to be able to evaluate it for at least a couple weeks and return it if it's not for me for whatever reason. The Oneplus 3 has a 14 day policy, and the Axon 7 has 30 days.
I talked to Huawei customer support today inquiring about the Mate 9 Pro because I have been wanting to get one but was told that they do not recommend buying it from 3rd party vendors or sellers and there is no warranty for the international version of the phone if you use it in the U.S.
Well, that ended my hopes of getting an expensive unlocked phone. Might as well wait for the upcoming phones...

Some re-sellers offer warranty support.
I wouldn't worry about it... I've never had to use warranty service for any of my smartphones. I've been searching but can't find any places selling this phone in silver/gray at a decent price... most are $1,000+. I already got burned when I bought my international Mate 9 (lost $200 when I sold it after the unexpected U.S. release).

Very valid. I bought a Mate 9 Pro in the USA via a seller on ebay. The sellers post just said huawei has 12 month warranty. Which is true. Just incomplete
After i received the device, i could figure out:
Huawei does not seem to have global warranty support == you need to send in the device for any form of repairs to the country where it is originally from.
My device seems to be from Taiwan, but that is just conjecture by me because the packaging has a URL from Taiwan on it. Alas, the Taiwanese Huawei site is one of the few that does not have online warranty check and when i sent an email to them from the webpage to inquire about my warranty status, i never got a reply. Maybe they can not or do not want to talk english. Or deal with overseas sold units customers.
Aka: i guess i am pretty much out of luck wrt. warranty unless i learn chinese and jump into a plane to taipeh. Which could be fun . But i guessed something like that to be the situation before i bought the phone, so no big surprise.
i got my mate 9 pro from ebay too. and it's also from taiwan. it's the gray one and it's only $878 + intl express shipping. i think it's the cheapest gray mate 9 pro coz some sellers from aliexpress sells it for even more than $1000 coz it's very rare. and they are selling the chinese version too. mine's international, i got it after 5 days here in new zealand via dhl. didn't have pay any import dutiesas well. the seller only sold 4 of these and i was one of the luckiest to grab the sale. here's the link:

That is a great price! Gray does seem to cost a lot more because it's unavailable mostly... there's a AL00 (China) model open box on eBay, but I'm afraid of dealing with annoyances from buying a Chinese model.
I've just ordered the gold via Amazon Prime for $889. At least that way I actually CAN easily return the phone and get my money back if I don't like it... or if Huawei does a release in the U.S. soon I won't get screwed.

Glad you opened one I've got the upgrade program from Samsung no changes on my order status. I am with ee and was due for an upgrade last month when I rang them the cheapest plan they could offer was £51/month with 5gb data and unlimited calls and texts with £29.99 upfront. So I asked for my PAC and got the upgrade program for £29.70/month and got sim only plan for £13/month unlimited calls and texts and 13gb of data which worked out way cheaper plus I get to upgrade next year or just stay on my current plan however did have to pay £68 upfront/deposit but still cheaper than what they offered.
How much are you paying?
I've upgrading on vodafone haven't heard anything yet about dispatch all I know is the 20th I should be getting it.
I gotta pay £30 upfront and then £47 pm but I get unlimited calls texts but I also get good data 24gb of it.

I'm also on the UK upgrade programme from last year's S7 edge. My order status hasn't changed yet but it should do on Wednesday when it's shipped for Thursday delivery. I'm currently paying £27.60 a month so it's only gone up a couple quid and I have a £10 monthly deal with Giffgaff which makes it nicely affordable considering I can change every 12 months. I'll get pre-paid postage kit along with the new phone to return my current handset and once received back they clear my current finance off so it's worked nicely. I've just got my housemate to do the same as she has an S6 and EE were wanting £51 a month to upgrade and be locked in for 2 years!

From S7 you didn't need a phone from EE for WiFi calling or VoLTE. So you should be good.

Hi just to let you know I don't think that's true I'm not on ee but when I got my s7 on vodafone i had wifi calling on it i then flashed it with btu which took everything vodafone off i text a number to activate it and now being on btu still have wifi calling.
Hello, wifi calling is supported but VoLTE (ability to use the 4g when on a call) isn't
Yeah seems that way from some research. Possibly can use the s7 fix by editing the csc
Found a good price on a site but it's the US Variant of the device. Will i be able to flash a firmware that supports the bands of us and enable fingerprint scanner without loosing the precious drm keys?
thread that stated you will not lose anything i suppose?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xz-premium/help/flashing-xperia-xzp-t3642049
You will make my faith on purchasing this phone if i can do this without loosing drm and safely flash the phone.
As long as it is cheaper than the version you can get from the UK then go ahead. You will not lose the DRM keys when you flash. I got mine from the UK just so I would not have to flash and everything works great on AT&T. Also, I saved mucho $$$$$ by buying from the UK (without VAT) instead of from the US.
I had the same experience as jaseman above. I live in Florida and bought the UK version (no VAT), works fine on AT&T. My pre-order (about two weeks before shipping) included a nice freebie of a Sony Bluetooth speaker. Can't imagine using now any phone without power-button fingerprint reader.

That is the question i had. There is a good deal here where i live and im going for it. USA Version but wanted to make sure 100% it can be flashed without loosing drm keys for nice photos and features thanks you saved me a lot of money atm.
Was going to get a UK version or any international from Amazon as well. but i found a good deal on CL. Meeting up the person making sure the person is really has a functioning xperia premium and also that i won't get fudge over. Will test the phone on sight and see if the imei is good and everything before i make this purchase.

I think if UK banks accept Huawei, the pressure from the USA on the British government might delay it or might not even happen.
good luck with that ... i think there is zero chance
I'm sure it'll come soon, just need banks to do their end first. I remember when GPay launched in the UK and Barclays weren't available for ages!
I've got around it by slipping a debit card in the case. There's no overdraft on it and I use a widget to keep an eye on the balance. I transfer what I think I may need that day etc. That's my take on getting around no contactless payments with the P40
