Using A Chinese Phone In The UK - Things To Look Out For

Using A Chinese Phone In The UK - Buying a new phone can be quite daunting, especially if it's a Chinese released phone that's not officially available or launched in your country yet. Is it safe to buy Chinese smartphones? Using a Chinese phone in Europe or the UK in my case is actually possible, but you want to make sure of a few things before purchasing the Chinese phone. Otherwise it might not work how you think it should! One is the language supported and there's a few other things to consider too. Find out more in the video.

Bands are probably the most important thing. Xiaomi has dropped 4g band 20 support on the 12 series for example. They had band 20 on the Chinese model for the Xiaomi 11 and 11 pro. It may not be important for some but may be for others depending on where they are living. I'd suggest going direct to the manufacturers Chinese website to confirm the specs and using Google translate to translate it

One thing I wanted to check that is probably the biggest issue for me, is that with some Chinese phones that have been converted to global/Google play, whatever they do to modify it then creates a security issue where banking apps and PayPal won't work with it? Is that the case with all these Chinese phones?

Can't beat getting phones from the places you suggested and always cheaper with no drop in quality, I've been using WondaMobile and they always pay the taxes. OnePlus devices tend to be the easiest in the past as they installed International ROM for you (not now) and Xiaomi has a mixture of English and Chinese. But there is a thriving community that supports ROMs (global) if you are brave enough to try.

I would agree and emphasize make certain you know what 4G and 5G bands your carrier uses and that the phone bands match the specific frequencies. Cheers

Have you ever had your calls break up, I have a Chinese rom vivo x90 pro plus and voice calls are OK then sometimes it will sound like it's underwater or breaking up badly and I have to restart it for the calls to sound OK again, happens about every 20 to 30 calls or sometimes just randomly

hey, great video! I have 2 quick questions( (if you can answer please)

1. On your Chinese version, are you able to access your banking App? I'm hoping my Santander app will work.

2. Will google contact sync work on the phone? (i heard some people have issues synching their contacts from their google account.)

I have s Chinese rom Redmi k20 pro, been using it since it came out.
The side pages in Chinese would be gone once you install a launcher (nova in my case)
Flashing a global rom is great but some of the banking and payment apps wownt work (i use Mada pay, which is a nfc tap to pay app in Saudi Arabia, it works fine on the original Chinese rom but fails to work when i flash a global rom, something to do with the bootloader being unlocked)

Biggest issue no one mentions is volte. In the US the carriers have turned off 3g etc so no phone calls unless volte works

For Xiaomi, the Ultra and Fold Series seems to come with google play services installed and it isn't difficult to get it to work. Lower end models may find this process a bit more challenging though.

Hi, I am over in Thailand at the moment and I am looking at buying 2 redmi note 12 5g phones for the wife and I, we currently have the 9 pro. When asking in the store regarding the warranty, they say that it's only covered in Thailand and not international even though I will be buying via the official MI store. I just wonder if I have the receipt that I can register the phone in the UK, I have emailed MI UK and am awaiting their response. I believe that redmi does cover all phones internationally if you have proof of purchase. Any thoughts? Regards your video, I remember trying to set up the phone for the UK. It was bought via the MI store

Very good explanation. Have you ever been hit with any custom taxes?
Have you ever flashed any custom ROMs on Xiaomi phones ?
All the videos I've seen online aren't very good .
Thanks for the video
