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.

Yes, Xiaomi EU for sure. Not sure about AOSP.
Are there any spanish sellers who ship this phone to other countries within EU?

I will post here Chinese websites if they have MI 11 lite 5G for sale.

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.

they do not sell any smartphones lol
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

European launch

ZTE UK have mistimed the launch, the Amazon pro-order listing that went up yesterday was the official one even though the countdown only ended today - so there's a one month wait plus 2-3 weeks for delivery! And it's still not listed on ZTE UK's website.
The Quartz Grey should be launched sometime in August and there currently no plan at all for the 6GB / 128GB model.
It's a better phone than the OnePlus 3 but ZTE really need to sort out their marketing and distribution.
http://www.ztedevices.co.uk/zte-axon-7-available-in-europe/
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01HGBVGPS
http://www.ztedevices.co.uk/smartphones/
I pre-ordered it from Amazon UK and have an estimated delivery date of 1-3 August.
I hope they also release it on Ebay since I have some PayPal money I can't get rid of.
How do you know the release date of the Quartz Grey version ?
Sentable date: 30.07.2016 for the Gold one. But i think there just gonna be the 64GB Version. Anyway, more than in my HTC One M8!
I can not wait any longer. Want it now
All the amazon links for the phone in Europe, except UK, are currently showing as unavailable...The european launch just gets worse and worse.

It seems that all the efforts are now focusing US market and they are forgetting about european market for now.
Some good news guys!! Those who have ordered from the UK amazon seller i sent them an email complaining about the delivery date and got the reply that the ZTE original supplier dispatched from China on 15th July, so we should be getting the phones on time/ ahead of time, hopefully by the end of next week!
Since amazon UK won't ship internationally, will other Europe site do that? Couldn't spot that on amazon sites.
Thinking of software side, there shouldn't be any differences between phones shipped by amazon.fr, .de, ... , or is there?
Presumably they should be the same. The uk listing says it is an eu model

Any idea on how to get the phone in Europe?, pretty much, all the Amazon listing are gone and Amazon UK doesn't ship internationally.
Axon 7 could be only a vapour ware in Europe.
The availability is already uncertain.
The better option is simply ignore Axon 7 go for 1+3 or wait for the next nexus devices.
This was the email i received from the Amazon UK seller for those who are curious:
Dear client,
Thanks for your kindly patience and i just confirmed with our product manager and ZTE original supplier good news that the items has been dispatched from China to UK on 15th July.
Thus we hope all the orders would be dispatched in time /ahead time .
have a nice day

617 is a pretty bad processor, they should put the 652 or 650 at least.

Where to get the 6GB/128Gb non-pro Now?

Hi all,
I'm keen to get the Mate 10 (non Pro) 6GB/128GB now - and I see some of you have it! (I have the Mate 9 Pro)
I'm in the UK - where's a good place to buy it? I see Wondamobile and TradingShenzhen and some of you give good reviews.
A few places like Banggood have it but not available for weeks.
Can this version be rebranded? FunkyHuawei seem to do it?
I have purchased from Wonda before with good service. Took a while to arrive though! Thinking of the Mate 10 at moment!
I've been in touch - FH say that the Chinese version of the 6GB/128GB can be rebranded to Asia. They're saying not to rebrand to Europe as this is a single sim ROM and they don't know how the second sim slot will behave.
So where can I buy it? Somewhere preferably that can avoid import customs and tax to the UK?

According to Wonda Mobile website, they have arrangements with shipping courier to pay all VAT and import fees. The price at checkout is FINAL. No need to risk being charged a VAT up to 20%
This explains why they're about £50 more than anyone else.
Giztop now appear to have stock and cheaper than Wonda(£699) or Shenzhen(£649) at £615
https://www.giztop.com/phones/huawei-mate-10.html
But Wonda will rebrand the phone for you and have excellent ratings.

I have ordered it from Wonda and asked them to rebrand it to L29C636. I know it's more but I hear it's very difficult to rebrand so I will let them do it.
I'm quite curious as to how well this particular model would work on AT&T in the US? I'd love to grab it but $900 is very pricey if I cannot take full advantage of its connectivity.
Guy's I would recommend Wonda Mobile, I have bought a total of 22 phones from them in 12 months and never had a single issue

This is getting exciting! I'm still a little confused about versions. Is the L29C636 the Asian version? Is this version devoid of all the Chinese features, but allows two LTE sims? Whereas the "European" version only allows one sim? Are there other differences. Anyways, please keep folks posted on how it works out. Thanks!

Yes - that's the sum of it.
You may find that you can't do OTA if you're outside Asia. I have a Mate 9 Pro - L29C636 and until very recently, I had to install updates via Funky Huawei. Huawei seem a little odd in their approach to updating - your device needs to be authorized to receive it, but if you were in the wrong region for your phone, it wouldn't update without a sim from that region.
Saying all that, my Mate 9 Pro received, for the very first time, an OTA update this week.

Ok. Hopefully the OTA situation changes with Mate 10. One more question. Do voice commands for default apps work in English using Asian version? For example, I have a Chinese version of the Mate 9. The default phone app allows voice commands to answer phone but you had to say "answer" in Chinese. It could not be made so that you could say "answer" in English. Thanks!

My understanding is that Asian version ties up to Singapore, where the default language in English. I've never encountered anything remotely Chinese on my 'Asian' version. I use Google Now, but not used voice commands per se!

Tradingshenzen from 407€ to 447€ for the 64GB.
Hello! My question is, that i have friend, who flying next mont in China. She can buy me there chipper the Mi8 and bring me to Europe. Should she pay duty if she bring here?
You can buy one device for yourself and don't need to pay duty.
What's everyones experience with the "EU Priority Line" Shipping method? I head on Gearbest they do some kind of repackaging and that way you don't pay tolls / customs. What about geekbuying for example?
You will not pay duty but need to wait 8 to 20 days. If you are from Germany than wait a lil bit. You will get it for about 3-4 weeks locally, for the same price. If you order now, you will wait 2-3 weeks.
What do you mean by locally in Germany? Is there a German Vendor with same prices?

When you look for the Mi Mix 2s, you can now get it for 490€. You can buy a lot of Xiaomi's from local shops, like Notebooksbilliger, Alternate, Amazon and more.
Just take the chinese price and add ~20%.
Mi Mix 2s in China ~425€, in Germany ~500€. So will pay about ~550€ for the Mi8 256GB Version, global and warranty.
To order now from China is for that kind of people, which can't wait. They pay over 100€ for chinese version and will wait weeks

Release date UK?

Hey guys!
Massively interested in this phone. My HTC U11 broke just recently. The back and front smashed and my insurance company said they couldn't fix it so sent me the cash. That's when I did some research and heard about the Pocophone F1 which looks amazing! The only thing is it isn't easy not having a phone when I need to work....
Is there any chance a release date for Europe or the UK in particular will be announced soon? Any rumours flying about? I'm really trying hard to hold out for this phone!
Available in the UK from Appliances Direct.

Since there are no Mi stores

Thanks for the info BassBounce. That's good to know. The only issue I have with buying from one of these sites is whether they are putting a mark up on the price of the phone? I wonder if when it is officially released will it be cheaper than on these sites? Also, I can't seem to find the Armoured version of the Poco F1 anywhere to buy in the UK. I'd really like the Armoured version since I seem to be pretty unlucky when it comes to braking phones....

Its a UK seller so yeah ur getting a warranty here, ur covered by the seller for 12 months, and even if u get the phone from like Netherlands u still covered by EU warranty, keep in mind the phone is only like 250 quid.. its not a 1000 quid phone, or trying lookin at alternatives like second hand pixel 2 xl for around 300-350
Apparently the one from Appliances Direct doesn't have a charger with it at all!

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
