I am strongly considering this phone based on its dev community and cheap price. I just have a few things that I need cleared up.
Does this phone need its bootloader to be unlocked to install roms with custom kernals and if so is there a possibility that I won't be able to unlock the bootloader, i.e, carrier lock.
I have noticed that there are 3 different models of this phone, as far as I can gather one model has NFC and the "L" is for a Latin model. Are roms (example CM11) compatible with all 3 models?
Thank you so much for your help!

Well, I really recommend you this phone if you like it. The bootloader doesn't need to be unlocked cause by default samsung kernels are unlocked, I think & yes, maclaw's rom works on all models.

Thank you, I can see that one shop in my town sells the original model while another sells the NFC for 20 euro more. So I will try get the cheaper one but that shop never stocks phones over the 100 euro price mark so im guessing the NFC model will be mine

these both are very relative and i don't agree to them myself.

S III mini is a cheap smartphone, easy to install a custom ROM, can be used by one hand (no gigantic screen size): overall it's a good p/f phone. one major drawback is its battery capacity.

I really agree on this, well the battery isn't really a problem I think, unless you use your phone the whole day...
I see this phone last week, and was impressed by this MONSTER
first thing I do is taking my credit card and search on net for a good seller, i know this phone is on sale only at 12may
but my biggest surprise was his LTE capabilities.... really ?? a monster spec flagship phone... with only FDD LTE: 1800/2100/2600MHz ???
only 3 categories ?... i want this phone .... but without 800mhz (cat20) it will be a fail in many europe countries ...
and one strange thing too: this phone is announced nothere on the official website... why ?
Most xaomi phones are only meant for China, from what I've heard, and so only support Chinese bands, and nothing else.
It's quite a shame, since I'd happily buy this over the zenfone 2 if it came to the US.

i want the zenphone 2 too, but after realising than Asus will not release the bootloader, and can't install custom roms, this phone is not for me ...
I pre ordered an Elephone P7000

1) Where did you get the idea that Asus won't release the bootloader?
2) The phone has barely been out. Give it some time for ROMs, they don't pop up overnight.
3) The P7k is also somewhat tempting, that's true [emoji14]
Got two of these bad boys coming one for me and one for a friend of mine. I should have them by the end of this month as I got them on a pre-order.
Xiaomi mi note pro 4G LTE can not work in the USA.
I know that it will work in United Kingdom as I checked the bands.

I am in the UK using a Mi Note (not Pro) which supports the same bands and it works like a dream.

1. Yes, all menus are in English when the system language is English.
2. Ordered from aliexpress for 640 USD
3. Not sure if you mean with the shipment or if you break the device.
4. Battery life could be better honestly. I can get through the day, however I'm only getting about 4 hours SOT if I'm lucky. I was able to reach that point with my Nexus 5.

Thanks for the reply
for point number 3 I meant if there are any warranty issues with the device.
for point number 4 I was looking on GSM arena and they showed the mi note as around 49 hours battery life which doesn't seem that good overall considering the mi note pro has a higher res screen.

Ah ok. Well as far as warranty goes, that would likely have to go through the 3rd party seller. So if they don't offer any type of warranty, you might be out of luck there. But yes the high res screen definitely has an impact on batter life. But it all depends on how you use your device I suppose. I can make it through the day and that is the important part for me

Ok my 2 options are
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...%3Aaadc43d715b0a9c9732abbe7ffffe9dc%7Ciid%3A1
Excellent condition-32day money back-£176
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...%3Aaadc43d715b0a9c9732abbe7ffffe9dc%7Ciid%3A1
good condition-1 year warranty-£190(unlocked)
Which one is better guys?... Also does the first one have 1yr warranty as i read somewhere that in uk law electric goods must have 1yr warranty?
If you wish to install a custom rom, FORGET about the first one! The ATT variant's bootloader is locked and no one has figured out how to unlock it! Not sure which variant the second link is though.

Fair price for a two and a half year old flagship model.

But it has replaceable battery ,external SD card it has also the same screen as note 5 .it is worth it, no ?
I'd go with the second one if I were you... on instinct.
Just make sure it has 4G.
The Note 5 is also worth it if you can find one around the same price.
The note 7 refurbished will also be online also.
Hi, the first one is an American variant, if you are in the UK best to forget it, you need to know the model number of the second one, the best model for thre UK is the 910F. Phil
Thanks guys for responding ill take your comments into consideration
I may have to go for the 2nd as the first has a low trust pilot rating

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-7-inch-...999418?hash=item3ac9751fba:g:VU4AAOSwhOdXoyoG
How about this deal guys? Also if you find any good ones under £200 can you notify me, Thanks for the help
Thanks for the help guys, but i've decided to get a lenovo p2 as the note4 is quite outdated
There is a thread (not sure if allowed to share links) claims that all Mi 11 ultra earlier buyers will get a push notification to redeem free Air 2s. Anyone got the push notification or that link? and anyone familiar with this news? and if it does apply to all models or just Chinese? not enough information in the thread.
The thread I got it from MIUI telegram page. if I am allowed to put links let me know and i'll share link in replies or update post.
Update: link of thread https://www.themyme.com/2021/06/15/...2s-tws-earphones-to-early-mi-11-ultra-buyers/
Post it, worst case scenario it might get deleted
This will likely be disabled for people running unofficial firmware lol
When I checked my serial number on the xiaomi authentication site ,I get a warning that my china phone is not on Chinese ROM anymore
Link added
It'll be CH only and then only to people actually in China.
Can confirm, I've gotten the earphones as part of the sale in China today. (Am currently in China)

Its worth it because it's free. But it's pretty much an entry level Bluetooth earbuds. I think there's no point changing if you already own one
Hi guys. I will get my OnePlus 10 pro soon. It's on the way to delivery. Before I getting it, I would like to know have there global Rom available for OnePlus 10 pro. I don't want INDIA/EU. Could anyone link it below if it has please. Thank you.
Where did you buy it from? If it's from China you can convert it but I would say just buy the version you want.
Saves a lot of hassle.
I bought it from eBay. I think it's china version.

Yes you can convert it. If and when you do, please do me a favour.. walk @zelma83 through too???
It would be brilliant if you could.
He's broken one phone and it's apprehensive to say the least to commit to converting again.
It would be a service to all... He's crying out to get his phone sorted
