[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
EDIT: DX fixed description and its 6/64 version, not 8/256. Sorry guys.

I'm considering to cancel my AE order on MI Global Store and order to DX.

The original price of the 8/256 is

3999 Chinese yuan = 515.536838 Euros = 635.661045 U.S. dollars

https://item.mi.com/product/10000085.html

then, the price matches. Not at the exorbitant level of resellers, but is over factory China price. IMHO, matches.

About the 'global version', I think that can do reference to the fact that, AFAIK, the 8/256 version is the one with all bands and the one that is planned to release to the global market. Not a ROM matter. In any case, I'll change the ROM to global at the moment that will be released. ROM is not a troubble for me, at this moment.

In other forum I'll contact to a guy that seems that has direct line with DX and ask about my doubts, regarding to phone version, stock, shiping method and customs tariffs.

Come back forwarding his response when I receive it.

Good luck!

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] A1exalu:
If you look in the description you can see that there is an image teasing the 6gb/64gb version... So very unsure. Live chat is also offline. Think I will wait for your reply before ordering. Thanks for your effort!

Edit:

If you order from DX.com you can also use the code "DXDEAL" to get 5% off. That would be 508,28€ or 632,69$.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
So got a response from Giztop

hello,

ok, we just get news that the phone is in stock now with 64Gb version as you ordered, we will process the order for you soon tomorrow morning by express shipping.

then offer tracking number.

please don't worry.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any question.

Thank you and regards.

It's the original sealed
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
EDIT: DX fixed description and its 6/64 version, not 8/256. Sorry guys.

Nice point, thanks.

I also noted that they provide SKU numbers:

Black SKU: 852514653

http://bit.ly/MIX2S664BDX

White SKU: 852514652

Xiaomi MI MIX 2S 4G Phablet Global Version - 6/64 White - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

http://bit.ly/MIX2S664WDX

But I googled for it without lucky results
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] naraik-l:
I just received a message from Mi Global Store on Ali (I ordered the 256GB version):

(No image was attached...)

I guess now is a good time to cancel and switch to DX, but I'm also unsure if it actually is the 256GB version they are selling...

I've had quite a bit of experience with DX many years ago (back when they were still dealextreme.com) and I'm pretty sure these SKU numbers are unique to DX (i.e. they are the internal/warehouse SKUs of DX).
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
Their message is a response to a previous message from you, or it comes by seller own innitiative?

EDIT: DX fixed description and its 6/64 version, not 8/256. Sorry guys.

Thanks for the SKU point. Finally I found the way to submit a ticket to DX asking about if they have 6/64 or 8/256, and also if they have in stock. At the same time, asked to the 'direct line' guy from other forum about it.

Another user gived a COUPON for a 5% discount (Exp: 04/29/2018)

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] pepez05:
So the Mi Mix 2S sold by DX it's confirm to be realy the global version with 8/256Go, Global Rom, Multi Language and Google Play ?

And it's avaible for shipping in 10 day so end of April ?

At this price it's almost to good to be true.

[MENTION=8331916]4duros[/MENTION] mention a person who have a direct line with DX it's possible to have a confirmation ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
NO, it's a hope, awaiting confirmation. I asked a few hours ago by 2 ways:

1.- directly to DX throught their website ticket system.

2.- to the guy of other forum with direct line with them.

Both ways are WAITING for their response.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
I have used DX extreme in the past for small cheap items but if you google them for reviews you will see many poor reviews from people who ordered more expensive items (like phones)

Just like you described they only reply BEFORE you purchase the item. After you purchase they don't maintain contact. Some people even said they provided false tracking info. I really hate the fact that so many of these chinese sites seem so shady!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
Is the same that I found on MI Global Store on AE, they never answered my question before ordered. And after order, they answer what they want, not what I asked. You're right: shady chineese sites. They work very far from Amazon style. Obviously, their price is far, also.

I do not believe that DX respond me, but hope the guy from the other forum with direct line with them does.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
Thanks for keeping tracking about the situation 4Duros. It is really helpful. I'm going to buy at Giztop. E-mailed them yesterday and the answers they provided sounded good to me.

Again, thank you for helping everyone here interested in buying the phone and shipping to US.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] scdoyle:
For what it's worth, I have had good experiences purchasing Mix 1 and Mix 2 (first black and then white unibody) from nis-store, wondamobile and mi global store on AE. Nis is showing 2S in stock for all versions but expensive. Wonda is most reliable I think but not the cheapest - not showing 2S yet. Mi global store were the first to have the Mix 2 unibody and did deliver promptly.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
For [MENTION=2670626]SantinoInc[/MENTION], researching a store shipping fast to US or selling inside the US i came up to this one: generixllc.com

Till now they have the 6gb variants for sale. It seems a legit store you can try reach them in order to know some news about the 8gb version. They said to me when i e-mailed them they will receive this version today but until now it is not there.

6/64

6/128

PS: Got mine at giztop in the end. Just placed the order.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
I've ordered my phone at Giztop. Communication is great and they said to ship the phone tommorow as I will get a DHL tracking code. Also when asked they put a value of 68 dollars on it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
I'm considering move to Giztop, but stills one thing thats not clear for me:

Under SKU, they say : 'In stock', but just above the version choosing: 'This item accept pre-order now, and will be available for shipping in 1-2 weeks.'

Which version did you order that they say ships tomorrow?

Anyone knows if they have the 8/256 version (preference white) in stock?

thanks again!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
You could ask them, they said mine will be shipped tommorow. 6/64GB black. This is what they said

hello,

ok, thanks for your order for the mi mix 2s phone.

you know this new phone is on pre-sale now, we just get the China rom version in stock, which installed with google playstore and support English language, are you fine for this?

or the international rom version still needs to wait for 1-2 weeks.

thanks.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I've bought the 8/256 version 4Duros. They have it in stock. The situation in the red line is the one descripted by Puksom below:

The preorder refers to the Global Version. The one they're sending comes with chinese Rom. I've asked them and it was the same answer given to Puksom.

Got mine trough DHL ship too Puksom. Probably they'll be sending mine Monday or Tuesday.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Louisblive:
Hello guys,

I am considering ordering from giztop as well. I have a question: When the rom does not support OTA - I can still flash a custom rom in a couple of weeks to get the normal benefits, right? (or flash the official international ROM)

Thanks for your help
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
Yes when official global Ron is released you can flash that

Anyone receive any updates from Aliexpress? It's been about a week now for them to receive stock as they said they would.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] qbaxs:
Goldway AE have in stock next week Mi Mix 2s 8/256GB - but price is high :(

http://s.aliexpress.com/3AbIRBZN?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ceta1203:
I paid for mine 2.5 weeks ago. Just received the below extremely disappointing message from the Mi Global Store on AliExpress. This perhaps is why there have been practically no real reviews of the Mix 2S--there simply hasn't been any stock.

"Dear friend

We are contacting you regarding the stock again. I am afraid you need to wait for 2 - 3 more weeks. Xiaomi company noticed us the stock will arrive at the end of April or at the beginning May . There is no exact date still. Other sellers met the same situation. This is uncontrollable. Could you please be patient and wait for more 2 - 3 weeks? We will add a Mi Band 2 which values 25 USD as compensation for the long waiting. Please check the attached image. We will give priority to your order once the stock arrives. Could you please kindly extend the processing date by 20 days if you would like to wait? We apologize for the inconvenience caused!

Looking forward to your response!

Kind Regards

So today I received a message that my phone will be ship today. I've the feeling they are not speaking the truth as it is weekend. Gonna wait till Monday.. it's Giztop by the way.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stefoss:

I think they are pulling our leg I ordered on 4/5/18 they said one week that was almost ten days ago so I messaged them and now they saying one to two weeks.

I'm about to cancel my order and find someone who communicates a little bette
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] nuudisco:
Got the following from Aliexpress:

Looks like its gon be a wait xD
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I bought yesterday at Giztop too. Did not receive any message besides the confirmation e-mail that the order was made. But, till now, it is ok. The attendant said they do not work during weekends and by Monday the order will be processed as usual. I believe Tuesday they'll be shipping my phone. They say it takes up to 3 days to ship after you ordered.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Saiger:

Very helpful people.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
I warned u guys about Giztop
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] skw5115:
I got the same message. I'm tempted to cancel but I think the the 256GB/8GB variant is the one they're waiting to get in stock. Has anyone had this variant shipped to them yet? If so, what store so I can cancel my current order and get my damned phone already lol
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
They say it may take up to 5 days till you receive the tracking number:

The asnwer they provide to Puksom matches the quote. They said to him the product is shipped, but the shipping company may take 1-3 days to inform the tracking number. I think they have until Wednesday to inform the tracking number to Puksom.

In my case maybe i have to wait a bit more.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
Sure thing, but why? Cause when you ship something you will get immediately a tracking number right?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
So I just remembered that my wife has a friend who lives in India. I had her contact this friend to see if she can get the phone for me. She said the white, 256GB model will be out on April 30 for around $600 and she will get it for me! Hopefully it works out ok. I know I trust her a lot more than I trust Giztop. I'll keep u guys posted.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
Don't know the real reasons. Maybe because the shipping company collects the packages? Just a guess.

We'll see soon enough.

If i had the possibility of this kind of arragement i'd go for it. But, in my case, is Giztop or nothing. We'll know in a week if we risked right or wrong.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Kish1799:
Got a mate going to India soon, but he's leaving on the 2nd of May. Does anyone know if Xiaomi will release the 256gb variant in flash sales or in bulk? I'm thinking I'll get him to bring one back for me, but if they do a limited release I don't think he'll be able to get it.

Also, has anyone got any updates whether the mix 2s on dx actually is the 256gb variant?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
It seems you're right mate. Just got a reply from Gistop and they said to me that i have to wait 1-2 weeks for the 8/256 version. I asked to cancel the order. Hope they do it fast enough for me get it in another place. It seems i have to accept the 6/64 version. :(

It seems the information SantinoInc brought is accurate. The 8/256 version only by the end of april.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
Also got an reply stating they will ship it today. I don't believe them anymore. Gonna cancel it when they don't ship it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stefanofoss:

What are you showing us exactly?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I'm changing to the 6/64 version it seems it will not be possible for me to get the 8/256 with the time limitations i have. I'll stick with them for a bit more time. Let's see if it'll work.

Saw this right now. The price is very expensive.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stefanofoss:
Mhh i see on other sites the price is pretty much the same and in same cases is more then 800 euros, think will just wait another 3/4 days
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] naraik-l:
Just checked the DX listing again - seems like they've "fixed" it to the 6GB/64GB version...

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
Glad to hear. I told you to give them more time. They should have their internal procedures for shipping. I'm changing my order to the same as you. The attendant told me she would ship immediately. I hope they dispacth mine by Wednesday at most.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
Yeah thanks for that haha. But, I had to pay 53 Euro's of tax. I'm importing it to the Netherlands. Giztop said they declare 58 dollar value as MP4 player.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] sangreal:
I was tempted to go for 64GB due to availability but wanted the global Lte bands on the 256gb version and which are not the other mix 2s variants..2 weeks wait to go at the least but still get a free Mi band 2 and screen protectors with it so here goes the waiting...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I agree completely. I'm somewhat sad about not have the chance to get the best version, but, at least i'll secure something in the end. I hope no more surprises happens for me.

I get it. I hope i do not have to pay any extra taxes.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] funziebear:
Anyone find the 256gig in stock anywhere ? I ordered from aliexpress on the 5th still no word on a day but they are tossing in wireless charger and a mi band 2 and was still best priced when I ordered it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
A friend in India told me the 256GB model is getting released on 4/30 over there.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stefanofoss:
I ordered the 8/256 white on trading shenzen the 9th of april, 2 days ago the mobile phone was packed but nothing more happened till today, in some forums they say this version will only be avaiable after the 30th of april, thats strange
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I think SantionInc information is right, every place selling de 256gb right now is a pre order phone. I doubt they'll be shipping anything before 4/30. The information SantionInc says matches exactly what Giztop said and explains the absence of this version in almost every place.

I dont think those places where the 256gb appear got access to it exclusively. Probably they're just hiding that is a pre order phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stefoss:
yeah i understand that too.... nvm i will wait may
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
According to Liaow they have the 256 GB version in stock:

https://liaow.com/xiaomi-mix-2s-black-256gb.html

Email them to confirm that this is correct.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
Another poster bought a phone in a similar situation and he did not have any news since. The places showing the 8/256 version as avaiable are hiding the fact that it is a pre order phone this is almost certain.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
Yes, they responded my ticket and is the 6/64 version.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stefanofoss:
So on trading shenzen today it say: shipment is done

Will see how much will take
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Puksom:
Quick update, mine will be delivered today already! Can't wait to get my hands on it haha. Already got everything set up to unlock the bootloader. For what I know I will have to wait 360 hours!!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] 4duros:
Received the same **** automated response from MI Global Store on AE offering the MI band 2, and cancelled their order and they accepted.

I asked liaow.com on April 15 and they answered few hours later they have it in stock.

Communication with liaow.com was very fluently and quickly. Few minutes later I asked about the 2 options of shipment

and the guy told me very well.

Ordered the 8/256 white through the cheap shipment DHL (Hong Kong agent) and things are going like they described. Few minutes later received their confirmation

22 hours ago, received this mail from them:

And 1 hour ago received the DHL tracking number and it works on DHL website.

Till now, all things are going like they said, hope continues on this way.

Will update any news!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I hope everything goes well for you 4Duros. The phone with this seller is way too expensive.

AHAH! That's amazing Puksom! Please keep us informed. Your experience matches the informations i read troughout the web about Giztop that just after you get the tracking code the shippment arrives.

Google Play Services

Hi, congrats! You must be really excited to finally have it, I know I would be :)

Does anyone know if its hard to install google play services on the chinese version of the mix 2s? Or do you just have to install the google apps apk's?

Also, is there a lot of bloatware on the chinese rom, or can you delete most things?
