Armoured edition of Poco F1 launching today in Flash Sale in India. But you need to check whether Frequency band will work in Your country or not. I guess Mi's County version mobiles have different frequency band for that country.

Just check the 3G/4G bands it can handle, and I think you should go.
Just purchased an LeEco from China, and I don't see how it could have been different from a local purchase, excepted that they shipped an adaptor for the power supply...

Where is the Pocophone F1 Carbon Fiber Edition?

This year there were two manufactures that did something that really P*** me off, Huawei and Xiaomi, with the Honor Play and Pocophone F1, they sent awesome looking phones to Youtubers, the Honor Play special edition, with the funky black or red back circuit board engraving and Xiaomi Pocophone Carbon fibre back, buuut, these never went on sale outside China, wtf? Why send cool looking phones to the most famous Tech Reviewers and to the general public, just the cheap A$$ looking phones. As anyone been able to find the carbon fiber model of the Pocophone F1? I've seen Honor Play Special Edition on a couple websites, but they come with Chinese EMUI and no 4G band 20, used by most EU network providers =(
Sorry about the rant, but been trying to find this particular model of the pocophone and I just can't
Hello,
yes, they are indeed difficult to find outside China / India.
I found one, but quite expensive. I payed 319 EUR for my 128 GB Poco, but they want 476 EUR (including shipping + taxes for UK, Germany and France) for the "Armoured Edition":

Thanks for the reply and you're right, I can get the 128Gb model for £270, £410 for the carbon back? That's crazy, that is Mi8 Pro or Oneplus 6T territory, hope this does not become a trend, showing one type of device that only reviewers will have access to it for free xD
Hello @hugoprh and everyone who is interested:
Poco just announced 2 more Armoured Editions:
https://www.themobileindian.com/new...armoured-edition-reportedly-coming-soon-24433
https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/poco-f1/
Hopefully they will make it to Europe / will be less expensive.

Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro - global release

Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro (aka Redmi K20 Pro) goes on pre-order in Europe
According to GsmArena (https://gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_9t_pro_aka_redmi_k20_pro_goes_on_preorder_in_europe-news-38581.php) and many others, the global release (or European model, at least) is in pre order in online seller Belsimpel (https://www.belsimpel.nl/xiaomi-mi-9t-pro/64gb-blauw).

Lte Bands according GsmArena:

A few months too late, really strange move from Xiaomi : why didn't they launch it at the same time as the "Mi 9T"?? Plus, rebranding from Redmi to Xiaomi in Europe is a bit strange imho. Do they think we in Europe don't read the worldwide news? Additionally, they won't release the 8/256 version.
Btw, I wonder what will happen to the Mi 9 with a price that close...the real difference is the camera which seems better (to be honest even my Mi 8 takes better pics vs. K20 Pro).
Also I think its a little bit priced.
I'm not sure if I'll buy, long time waiting to be this difference.

You can import it from China (6/64 version) around 315 euros tax free and shipping included, and they're gonna sell it here for 430 euros? It will have a Global ROM for sure, lets see if its the same one as the India ROM (POCO launcher included) or not but still...
Btw i think if Europeans want to wait for a new phone they should wait for the Mi Mix 4. The 3rd was a bit of a flop because specs were too close to the Mi 8 which was great, lighter and cheaper but the Mix 4 specs will be spectacular according to rumors. Wait and see!

Yes but not above 599 euros I think, right? Otherwise Xiaomi will lose this segment to Huawei/ Samsung...

A lot of people doesn't want to import, and also the main problem is the warranty, people prefer to have a local store where they can go if the phone have an issue.
But anyway, for my part I will buy it on Aliexpress soon
If you want to push further the comparison, in the official Xiaomi China store, the 6+128gb is at +-290€

Xiaomi has already mentioned that if the phone comes with China firmware, it will be locked on China firmware. Only when the bootloader is unlocked it can be flashed to global firmware. This is the same with phones that come with global firmware

Thanks for confirming. Thats a bad policy. As long as the firmware is official, they should allow us to lock bootloader and use find device feature.

You shouldn't be buying phones that weren't meant for your country anyways. Xiaomi wants their chinese phones to be only sold in China and the global variants for outside of China.

As far as I can tell there has been no official launch of the phone, so nothing has been confirmed either way. There was the small announcement last week that it will be available in the Benelux region from the 20th, but it gave no specifics. Since then all we're seeing is the phone suddenly appearing for sale in various European websites. So far there doesn't appear to be any 8GB model being sold anywhere.
Even though the Mi 9 had 8/128 and 8/256 options in China, they were never made available on the global version, so it wouldn't be surprising if it turns out to be the same with this one.

Is the Mi 10\Pro dead already?

This was supposed to be on sale in the UK on the 27th of march.
I search the Xiaomi UK shop every day and still nothing.
I emailed Xiaomi support and all they said was "keep watching the UK site"
The phones are there for one to look at. But that's all. One can't buy a Mi 10\Pro for love or money.
I have noticed that there is an Italian\French\German only version of this phone.
WTF is Xiaomi up to?
Any ideas?
PS. Yes I know I can buy the China version now.

Good point.
I was going to get the Pro version from china.
But sending it back to china has put me off.
But I still can't find a UK release date.
Today is the 5th day of owning and using it. Got it from o2 with a payment in installment for 16€ (750€)a month for the 128gig EEA Version. Amazon is selling the 256gig Version for 899€ here in Germany. I like it very much. Easy to root, wich i dont need for now, because matching boot.img is already available.
Where did xiaomi stated that EEA is only released in 3 european countrys?
i ordered mine from amazon spain

Question Where to buy?

Possible to buy this phone to Europe yet?
Soon i think

Hello yes, in Spain you can already buy, will there be development? xiaomi eu custom aosp?
I tried to buy the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5g from Yaphone dot com on 4th April 2021. They cancelled my order and did not refund the full amount. I am still waiting for my bank to help. Terrible service from Yaphone. Avoid. Only pay on a website with paypal.

Hey,
Thanks!
392€ I hope that this price is ok.
I bought mine directly from OnePlus US site and had the phone sent to my US address to be forwarded to my Country's local mailbox I managed to receive the phone but keep in mind that you may have an issue with 5G signal and you may have to mess around with the policyman carrier config in order to get the phone to pick your country's 5G signal at least that what happened to me.

I emailed and sent messages to website many times to Portugal vendor Tek4life mentioned here - ZERO response lol no one bothers (even sent Portugese translation so was respectful of language difference). Cannot find it anywhere else in European sites. (found it in 2 other sites in Portugal but they only ship mainland)

Nice! I will get the 4G-versionen today. If it feels good I may buy the 5G-verison later.
Looking to buy it from New Zealand, but it's not available here yet.
I've been looking at AliExpress daily, it's still not there.
Any other safe options? Shipping with Belsimpel will be too expensive.
Was able to preorder for 30.04 on amazon.de today
ordered mine on tuesday and received yesterday (cdiscount.com) in France
