not sure. it is expected the official launch price is slightly more exp than current AP price.

My story so far:
buy ap > apply .zip update on fake rom > recovery 3.0 bootloop > wtf xiaomi > google > test point flash > china stable rom > 10008 error unlock status > dns changer > mi unlock tool > bla bla 360 hours > wtfff > half heartly using china rom > wah china rom not bad what
.

i concur. apart from the loads of china apps that i dont use (and cant read chinese anyway) china 9.2.3.0 rom is actually pretty zippy and has better battery life, i'd say.

now on global rom, i turn on the battery saver fulltime. last me roughly 40 hours from 100% to 5%. otherwise i gotta charge it every night

just to confirm, what are the cons on china rom?
- no playstore, but can install from miui store?
- chinese bloatwares
- anything else?
*
i think that just sums it up.

oh just add one more, there are some stuffs that cant be displayed in english, die2 oso presented in chinese. if you can read chinese then no issue lah.

what makes you think that they are no spyware even if using global rom?
it could even be hardware coded, regardless of what kind of rom you use.
last time lenovo kena exposed, sending phone data to a certain server in china.

This update if safe.
I bought 2 units from physical Mi Store, updated both of them, no problem.
Same version and file size as in the picture you post.  smile.gif
Confirmed camera definitely can save to SD Card.

I'd prefer if whatsapp medias all save in sd card. Too many stuff those ppl share share share. Few groups can share the same shit again and again

So is it possible to flash rom by unlocking bootloader with those "fake global rom"
*
with fake rom, chances are you would mostly fail the unlocking.
the only known successful way is to testpoint flash a china rom and then only unlock.
but judging from Benefon's response apparently china rom 9.2.4.0 is pretty smooth too, so i gues no flash global rom oso no issue

You misread my post. I asked if it was possible to apply to unlock the bootloader on an imported phone, wait 2 weeks  to unlock, then flash global standard rom without opening the phone up.
*
the problem is not whether it is imported or local. the issue is the ROM that it came with. if fake rom, die2 must testpoint. if it came with official china rom, (like mine) then no issue with applying unlock BL.

QUOTE(imbibug @ Mar 2 2018, 12:13 PM)
Ok that explains it. I was wondering why didn't they just wait for the unlock code.

Is it possible to tell which phones come with vendor/fake rom from the advertisement or is it necessary to confirm with the seller whether the rom is official china rom?
*
from ad, no way. ask from seller? lagi la no need say.
ever heard of the chinese idiom "sell flower praise flower is fragrant"?
so take their word with a pinch of salt.

if you are buying online, the only way to know is to take risk. buy see what's the rom installed, if it's "global" 9.2.0.2 confirm fake. if "global" 9.2.3.0 on a 4/64 oso same. however local units 3/32 runs on 9.2.3.0 is fine and they can OTA update to 9.2.6.0.

for china rom, they're mostly shipped with 9.2.1.0 for pre-january stocks, and from feb onwards they're 9.2.3.0. only last week 9.2.4.0 was released.

so if u gonna drop by directD outlet to buy, even better, can check on the spot then if it is fake rom, can ask them immediately flash official china rom
