Interested in this phone, seems like one of the best value propositions available at the moment.
The shortcomings of the China ROM and even post-warranty ownership seem mostly manageable I think?
1. Firstly there's a decent chance you won't need any repairs whatsoever throughout the phone's lifespan (I've yet to make a single repair or warranty claim in over two decades of using various phones, and while of course I know lemons exist, I'm not too worried).
2. If you do need repairs, the cost can probably be offset with how much you're saving on buying the phone itself.
3. The time it takes to complete the repair may or may not be much different from some local suppliers. Just use your spare phone in the meantime.
4. Uncertainty on 5G is a bit of a gamble but maybe can assume it will PROBABLY be ok?
5. Should likely wait for the announcement of the X40 in a few days to see if this one's price drops even further. Unless it's a GIANT leap in performance and features, the X30 Pro would likely still retain a good cost-to-performance ratio.
6. Small matter but I hate when I buy a new phone and the plug head requires an adapter...
No intention of adding any fuel to this fiery thread, just my thought process, still undecided for now.
