CN ROM

Pros:
1. Faster software updates compared to Global ROM
2. More customization options
3. Way way cheaper vs Global Edge 30 Ultra


Cons:
1. Need to manually install Google Play Store and all Google Apps
2. Cannot turn on "Hey Google" as this phone has "Hello Moto" voice command.


------
The rest are the same.

what's with you bro?

If bootloader unlock and root but still stay original CN ROM, can still receive OTA update?

Warranty void it unlock bootloader?

?? What is with me?? What do you mean? Someone saying want get a feel and raba the device so I ask them to tag TS and ask can come out for or not as I remember he is the 1 claimed to own the device....... Any problem with this 😅

Lol what's with you, suddenly tag me.....

Ask seller on warranty part as it's warranty provided by local seller. Generally unlocked bootloader is void warranty for the official set unless you able to relock before send go service.

As per my understanding even after root also can receive ota update for official set. China set wise then no idea

your sarcastic shows either have issue with op or fasttechlim.

anyway, im one of user

You look back at previous thread..... How many people claim to own the device and posted here as active as TS. It's normal I only remembered he as the only user.....

Nothing wrong with the post itself. I just have issue that the TS so hardcore promote ignoring all the cons. No issue with the seller or whatsoever. Look back from the thread from start, what I am stated is fact and it's TS who tried hard to promoting regardless of fact.

Lol side story, for eg TS said 5g is just a signal and won't affecting unofficial set. Go look at pixel 7 or 6 thread I think someone shared unofficial set after root got 5g access initally then suddenly got blocked from using 5g by telco. Think twice before listening hardcore fan.

Just sharing some info based on fact and something shared by user. If you didn't tag me probably I won't even open this thread anymore as I already buy 12t pro during 1111 sales, 12gb 256 for less than 2.5k.

For me I won't consider unofficial china set as I have to claim for tax deduction and why I am posting here before is I personally interested in the device. As simple as that.

wah long post. guess op did something to you in any way.

all the best dude with 12t pro

Wah 12T pro. Nice ka? I never liked Xiaomi cause of ads and bloatware last time. Can molest your phone?
BTW, why tax deduction cannot buy china set? I think buy from fastech Lim got official receipt can claim tax deduction leh. Eh sorry mention fastech Lim here. Gonna be a taboo word.. haha

Can claim or not then I am not 100% sure, someone did told me before cannot claim if not official set. Quite make sense also as the device practically is buy from China seller just local seller do the resell.

Anyway when you do online e filling, you can just submit whatsoever. Normally they won't check 1 but as what I remember they have right to recheck for up to 10 years back if I remember correctly. So touchwood if they check, lol just submit and act dumb lo. Whether it will be problem or not I guess is depend on the officer who do the checking.

Honestly I never like miui also. I find a lot of bloatware and skin quite heavy but I want 8+gen 1. That's why I go for 12gb, if 8gb during 1111 can get below 2.3k. Out of this from official set only oneplus 10t and mate 50. Oneplus 10t is more expensive and 1 years warranty while mate 50 wise is without gms and 5g

So the only choice I have is mi 12t pro for official set. Maybe I already buy edge 30 ultra if official set available and at the right price. I guess I will try to live with miui first for the two years warranty period, after that probably I will go for custom ROM if by then I still didn't get used to the UI.

Lol you can go to any IT store and xiaomi store to raba and feel the device. Basically every store have the display set there. Spec wise still edge 30 ultra better if can you accept all the pros cons below:

Pros:
Better frame (metal frame vs plastic frame)
Better second and third camera (telephoto and wide angle)
Near stock ui
USB 3.0
Ready for support (video out)

Cons:
Only China set available
5g uncertainty
Warranty claim lead time (longer than when dealing with service centre direct)
1 year local seller warranty
Poor photo processing and auto focus problem when video recording as shared by user across global and China forum
Dust in telephoto lens (as shared by user in global forum and might not happen to everyone)
Problem to repair it locally when warranty expired as might not be able to get the part

Other than that the device should be performing well. It's totally fine to proceed if buyer are OK with all aspect.

Op? No people did anything to me just I don't really like any hardcore fan in whatsoever brand. They basically are irrational.

I guess those people are everywhere. I notice another one in mate 50 thread in kopitiam section, the TS of that is even worst 😂.

Anyway thanks. I still have some aspect that I don't like with 12t pro but not much choices available and quite a good value that's why I go for that at the end.

op=original poster=ts in a way.

from what I see, p7p user use root method to get 5G signal. maybe that's contributing factor for 5G restriction.

im using digi and this phone allowed me to get volte while my prev op7T fails to get.

kinda eager to buy celcom prepaid just to try 5G, but ill just wait till digi prepaid have 5G enabled

Ya it might be also. The interesting part is they got it supported initially after root and it was blocked sometime later by telco.

Somehow it show telco might be blocking depending on phone and not as simple as just signal related as per 4g. It's good that digi 5g work without any issue in your device, the user who shared the problem is using umobile. Probably there are some different between how different telco working.

Anyway the risk is across the board for all import device, it will be good if got supported by default. Or else I don't think there are any channel to make a complaint, telco and mcmc got the right to not layan import unofficial set.

Oh this model not officially available from Moto MY. Confusing with the name. The 30 Pro that I thought is this model is actually the Edge 30 Pro.

Some manufacturer don't void warranty for unlocking bootloader, such as OnePlus.

What I understand also usually even after unlock bootloader and root still can get OTA update. But will lose root. Moto being previously owned by Google and cater to USA market hopefully have open attitude towards modding community.

Moto now is belong to lenovo. As this is unofficial China set, the warranty part after root is quite subjective depending in China side policy. No comment from me through, the best is ask seller if someone interested in the device.

I won't even consider import China set, who know how much they will charge if something go wrong after 1 year warranty to sending back to China without considering the part cost. I don't think seller will bear the cost and no way to repair it locally as official set counterpart is not even available.

Anyway the best is to check with seller. Lol but general rule of thumb before buying normally what also can be discussed, when problem arise then only we will know. That's why I rather deal direct with service centre instead of seller.

It really depends on luck, there must be some people buying import set without any problem. When problem arise just buy a new 1 very simple. For me I use device for more than 2 years normally so import set doesn't suite my need but it might suite some people.

Side story, I wish to join boat to pixel as software and community support is excellent. Hopefully it will be officially available in Malaysia in near future like our neighbouring country sing

I have use few imported phones, so far luckily don't have any problem.

Local warranty doesn't mean can claim warranty without any problem, especially when it's under distributor, as how it is for most brand in Malaysia. Many years ago my local set phone warranty claim dragged for almost a year, all because of change in distributor. I have to contact their Asia Pacific office to get it claim under warranty. Ironically that phone is Motorola.

Does anyone able to use the nearby share on x30 pro cn rom? I try to use the ready for share but it keep searching for device. Not sure is the moto own ready for share having similar functionality similar to nearby sharing.

Ya very depending on luck. Local service centre doesn't mean it won't have any problem as well, if within warranty period then lesser room for pushing the responsibility.

That's also why I going for 12t pro with 2 years official warranty. Nowadays will be easier, if they drag warranty claim for nonsense reason just go for their social media, lol then I believe it will be resolve much faster.

It's their reputation on stake through. I think it's always better to deal with service centre direct with official set. I believe it will be much worse experience if the problem you facing last time is involving unofficial set then you won't even have the option to contact their Asia Pacific office 😅

Anyway it's quite subjective and normally phone rarely have problem. That's also why last time many phone store offering extended warranty as a policy basis. It's all just speculative, in my case wise I hate to deal with problematic thing that's why I rather go for official set even if it more expensive

Some people just like to argue for the sake of arguing.


Don't worry, many people are still buying import devices because they are old enough to know the risks and reward of getting one.

Even trying to convince the risk whether can claim warranty from seller or not when in fact, online sellers have already stated the T&C.

If one doesn't know how to read and understand, it's his problem, not ours.

pikacu this is what I am saying, the issue I have with all those irrational diehard fan. For TS everything negative related to his favourite brand been recognize as "argue for the sake of argue" and "problem of the 1 who stated the pros and cons without bias"

He cannot even state out which point I am saying is wrong and simply put the label just because TS don't like the comment. That's also why I question credibility of the thing he stated as in his eye everything by moto is perfect.....
