have u tried using her simcard to test on your phone?

U Mobile's 5G network, which they brand as ULTRA5G, primarily uses the 3500 MHz spectrum, corresponding to 5G NR Band n78. 

Left x8u, right x200

5099 is the official price

4999 is the preorder price

Hardware wise yes but in real life and according to comparison video available online, the photo quality quite close. It's just depend on which style (colour temperatur/skin tone etc etc) someone preferring. Macro wise I think this phone win a lot. Video taking and ecosystem wise still 🍎 better.

Knowing android, just wait few month then it will drop drastically. Especially when more competitor like x300 pro, realme gt, iqoo, oneplus etc etc launched. Anyhow it doesn't matter which brand someone choosing, at the end still BBK win. All those brand is under them, just that Malaysia distributor of individual brand might be giving to different company.

bro , just forgot about him , he dont know that CN ROM phone can connect and integration with MacOS , the vivo latest originOS6 even can integration with ipad  i believe Oppo colorOS or Global unit will coming too soon.
Talk about Apple eco-system , the airdrop also doesnt seen to be stable when u sending big file , i even saw my eldest sister son iphone fail multiple time when airdrop picture to my sister iphone , after 2-3 attempt only successful. In malaysia the easier way to sending file to each other is...Whatsapp.
And how many working company actually using MAC-OS or Apple System? Most of the working space stil windows base & they often using Whatsapp / Google Drive / Google doc / Microsoft oneDrive which work better & can be cross-platform. If u using iphone but your working space stil windows , then stil mou talk apa Apple eco-system? Right 


Try go figure out what is LocalSend & KDE Connect , it work well on Mac / Windows / LINUX and can be cross-platform without needed to tight yourself in a brand eco-system.

In 2025 , eco-system is alittle overrated to discuss.

But it's Pretty expensive, like 1.6k at least for that kit to be sold separately. Not available from Taobao :/ not sure about JD

missing Gemini AI..CN version uses Breeno..

i dont think Msia will entertain CN set

Taobao did charge you SST whether you like it or not, but i'm not sure about the others.
I do remember previously anything above $100 will have a chance to kena tahan at custom. Maybe someone who purchase from Taobao can share their experience?

Dilemma between this and Vivo

China actually leaked that 8k to 9k battery will be use often this end of year for mid-range phone  and will be officially putting in flagship phone by 2026 oct.
Because china is consider world tech country , their aim is , they want their people to use the latest technology , rather than stick to one thing for too long time , u must understand what "中国速度" mean , they are too fast already.

The advantage being their people for using latest tech latest SoC , so that they can build more powerful app , more powerful AI that request newer technology. So they need to do something look "性价比" , good spec with cheap price , so their people can afford to keep on changing gadget and also to help boots economy cycle.

Imagine u went to poor europe country , everyone holding iphone , but all is iphone 11 , iphone 12 , iphone13 , they buying 1 iphone but need to use for 5-7 year because iphone is expensive , cant change yearly , so those "old" iphone user cant enjoy the powerful of AI and latest technology , that why europe ppl are so lagging behind now compared to china people.

If u went to china , especially big city , everything is electric , EV car , EV bus , EV bike , EV scooter , in europe ur barely can see it because it costly.

So china ppl actually dont care 5 year 6 year software update like us or the western, because they just think that totally unnecessary because after 2 3 year they just changing to new device with great trade-in system plus cheaper gadget price to enjoy new technology. That the reason why alot western traveling to china and say china is living on 2050. Because most of the people in china using latest gadget and tech.

Just tested my Umobile card on iphone 12 mini and able to get Ultra5G. My X8 ultra cannot. Now not only that I cannot get ultra5G, I cannot get 5G at all. Suspect they had switched off the band for normal 5g. At different area without ultra5g I am still able to get 5g. So actually what is the band on Umobile ultra5g that the x8 ultra can't get??

Edit: not sure if I should suspect ColorOS 16 has changed something that made me unable to get 5G in ultra5G area...

manage to fix ur 5g? hope x9 ultra will have global set...

I believe x8ultra do support 5G in malaysia , because i do check the x8ultra have the same band as my vivo x200s , no need fix anything , just simply putting in your sim card and 5G automatic appear on your top right screen. But x9 ultra CN ROM not confirm yet because fastech lim stil didnt make a video review on it.
For the x9 ultra , i think if vivo x300 ultra going global , the x9 ultra will follow too.

did u try other telco before? Cant comment much as i dont use Umobile , i do check my vivo x200s and find x8ultra having same band , but i dont have problem with my celcom to get 5g connection, on the other hand , sometime my iphone 16PM do drop from 5g to 4G and have to turn on and off airplane mode to get back internet connection.

U might need to check out on the Oppo facebook group.

Hi, are there any good cases to recommend for the x8 ultra? Mind sharing some pics of the ones that you are using with the purchase links?

Ordered from Shopee during 11.11 sale with RM500 voucher. When I chat with the seller, he said if got warranty claim within a year, he will send to China FOC. Really saved the trouble of buying from Taobao and me being worried if will kena customs tax.

These seller are just similar drop shipping from china that also use many other names (sweet technology, monmar tech etc) good luck on warranty claim in the future
