Requesting a small review of the *version being sold in India* - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Going on sale on Aug 16th. Requesting a small review of the 'Indian' Mi A2 by one of the XDA members. Preferably after using it for a few days. Yes, there are reviews ... but :
- I don't really trust the reviews that pop up on the net.
- I have doubts that the version of mobile phones sold here in India are exactly the same as the ones sold in the "west".

Importing Nexus 5 from USA to India

The Nexus 5 release date is drawing close. One thing we can be sure of is that it would take months for it to release in India. If google prices it right then it would fly off the shelves in no time and then would be out of stock for several days, as was the case with Nexus 4.
With this in my mind I am planning to order it from the US play store as soon as it goes on sale.
I created this thread so that we potential buyers in India can discuss the prospects of importing it.
Currently I can think of using HopShopGo to ship the device from US to India and using HDFC VCC for the play store purchase.
Let us discuss the alternatives and perhaps better methods to import the Nexus 5.

Nexus 5 - Romania thread

Hello Wallachian! :highfive:
Here is the place we can talk about Nexus 5 in our country.(specs, tips & tricks, accesories, price, roms & kernels...etc)
Enjoy!
Users have to speak english, also in "national thread".
The price in our country will be for sure around double than the original one...
I hope I can get it from another country such as USA or Germany

Thread cleaned
Guys, even if this Thread is called "romanian thread", the one and only allowed language on xda is English.
So please stop posting in romanian, but in English in future posts.
I want this device at 2200RON price range
Ok, sorry for my bad post but I was really thrilled about a 'national topic'. Anyhow I must say that the price of Nexus 5 ( or Nexus 4 2013) will be much higher in Romania, around 2500 ron for the 16 gb version and 2900 ron for the 32 gb version.

Sad but thrue, in our country first price is double. When i purchase nexus 4 i expected to lower the price.
After a couple of months, the price will be reduced, for sure. see how N4 or n7 prices evolved during the following months after the launch. I took the second N4 in August at 1600ron (~350e). The same price at which I took the first one in March from Germany's Playstore.
We cannot compare the price in US with Europe, anyway. nobody can.

2500RON is to high.LG G2 is 2400RON on eMag.ro.A nexus device is cheaper.My phone now is an LG Optimus Hub with cracked screen.The touch still works.Nexus 5 will be a big jump for me
LG G2 is NOW 509euros on orange.ro.,standard price. that means around 2200ron.
Nexus 4 was 2200 ron when was first introduced at emag, and then the price was reduced slowly...to 19,18 and 1699ron. Now, its 1549, which is still very good for the phone. I am selling my N4 as we speak.
i know this because i followed closely the price. both for N4 and N7 2012 & 2013. But if you dont believe me, i can search and post the links from other forum, softpedia where the discussion started at the launch of N4.
i can bet that the N5 price will be ~2200 at launch and after January will decrease below 2000 ron.
just found this link

I purchase my Nexus 4 two weeks ago from evomag.ro, price 1389 RON. Now is around 1600 RON there.
probably it was some kind of sale. If you have said it, i would have sold it mine for as low as 1200 ron, still in box 2y warranty.
So, it has been released! Now we have to wait until some reseller brings it. However, I assume it will be pricey (2000 RON for 16GB version, which IMO is a rip off).

You are old enough (hope so:silly to realize that in our country, even if most of the population is poor, everything is a rip off
Alredy is available in Romania , 2007 RON / 449 euro ....good price for start http://www.alex-gsm.ro/NEXUS-5-16GB-BLACK-PREMIERA-IN-ROMANIA-c144-p7676.htm
@Octavius69 that's the sad truth. In all the poor/third world countries everything is expensive. Even so, this doesn't seem to stop people buying overpriced things. On the other hand I can understand that the price displayed on Google Play is subsidized by Google, hence the other retailers will have a higher price tag. And this last part applies everywhere. What's frustrating is that Google is not stepping in and release it's devices on more countries.
Going back OT: The 16GB version is available at PC "Garbage" as well (~2100 RON). Let's see if other major reseller will join. I am curious to see the price for the 32GB version.
EDIT: Same device on cel.ro for 2000RON, but still no news about the other one.
I would wait if I knew they will brig the rumored one, which has bigger battery or the 32Gb but I'm pretty sure they will not import it in the next weeks, not in a decent price range at least. Therefore I prefer to buy it now, I was waiting for too long this almost perfect phone.
Stefan, they will bring for sure the 32GB version in the coming weeks. However, please note that the capacity is the same, 2300mA, on both versions (16/32GB). There is no 32GB version with a 3000mA battery. That was pure speculation (just a rumor).
I just purchased mine 16Gb from evoMag at almost 2000Ron which for the 5th day after release date is a decent price. Good luck to finding yours.
Regards,
Me

@icsulescu what is the expected delivery date? For the time being I'm waiting for the 32GB version, which is not yet available in RO.

I've ordered from trading Shenzhen and giztop before. Both are pretty fast. Tradingshezhen customer service sucks though, I asked if I would be able to return a phone if I left it brand new sealed in box and they told me I would have to pay $50 + return shipping + I think 20% restocking fee and I better like the phone. I would have understood if it was something like shipping + 10%, but what rubbed me wrong was how they told me that I better like the phone. I kid you not that's exactly how they said it to me lmao. Giztop was okay, their support was a lot more professional but they got some information wrong and they also took too long to ship out the phone I initially wanted. I eventually ended up cancelling the order and ordering a different phone from them. That one came pretty quickly at least. I used the GTRE4 code or something like that to get a discount as well. Both places have marked up prices compared to ali so you are paying a premium for faster shipping.
I've ordered my mi11 from aliexpress since it was the cheapest option, and only like $20 more for twice the storage. Plus most places didn't have the leather options that I wanted. Hopefully it ships out soon. I remember I ordered a poco f2 pro from aliexpress and it never shipped even after waiting over a month. I ended up cancelling the order and getting the ace2 from giztop.

UK Oppo Store shipping?

Hi,
Has anyone had theirs ship yet from the UK Oppo Store? Mines been processing for 3 days, Was expecting it this Thursday as the website says in stock when you pre order.
Yes - some have shipped
I got mine last friday as there's a UK Oppo community on FB run by Oppo and they were offering advanced shipping for the black model if you supplied order number.

Aah cool good to know my black model shipped today should be here tomorrow looking forward to using it, Was going to get the 10 Pro but this swayed it with the build quality and not to mention the awesome ore order bundle is quite amazing to be honest!
Yeah. That swung it for me too. The bundle including the case and charger alone was awesome.
