Yeah, 499 euros... delivery time....from 43-58 days to my country.

If i choose delivery by DHL it cost more 35 eur, and the delivery time is 31-44 days...but he pictures about the phone keep saying it only take 5 to 8 working days by DHL without customs duty...something isn't right.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Ori...09af-4cec-bd69-47032a4964f0&priceBeautifyAB=0

At geekbuying choosing Hongkong store the price is 505 eur for 6/64 version...shipping in 15 days...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I just mailed them and got an answer that it will take 3-5 days processing time plus 3-5 days to deliver to US. It is impossible to me.

I got another chance to get the phone cause those friends are going to stay until 04/05. Probably i'm going to try giztop one more time.

I'm trying to contact nextbuying about their times for ordering but did not get an answer.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] stefanofoss:
Yeah processing time sucks even they say its to check everything of the phone and install Google play and services too
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] A1exalu:
For the ones buying at Giztop:

You can get 5% off by singing up for the newsletter!

That makes them the cheapest address at the moment... Still 600€ (inclusive shipping, exclusive eventual 19% extra for tax) is not a really good price... man, waiting is hard.

Yes. I saw just a while ago. I'm thinking to get at liaow. Just waiting a reply to my e-mail asking if they can ship it fast enough.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Eublepharis8823:
I have a couple questions about this phone, maybe you all can help.

I'm looking at the 64gb model from Gearbest.

Is the seller reputable? If not, what seller would you recommend?

Would this work with a US carrier, specifically Verizon Wireless?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Flatric:
Yes gearbest is a reputable seller, I can recommend tradingshenzen too. However make sure to check which shipping service you have to choose to prevent paying taxes.

You have to be carefull, only the 256gb model will be compatible with all Bands used in the USA but there are rumors that the smaller versions of the global version of the 2s will support the same bands like the current 256gb version, so maybe it's a good idea to wait until 26 of april. On this day the global version will be sold in Hong Kong. According to this thread you need the 256gb version for verizon
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Eublepharis8823:
Cool!

Yeah I can wait for the global version, I assume it'll be loaded up to Gearbest and the other sellers on the 26th.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
EDIT: Tried again to buy let's see if this time i'll be more lucky.

If everything goes smoothly i'll come back to tell.

For the people in the EU, on www.oppomart.com you don't have to pay extra import costs, or they will pay you back. This is only with Post Registered Air Mail

I have orderd a 2s 64GB for $632,- (€535,-) incl. shipping. 7-10 days + 10-18 shipping days to the Netherlands.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Hitchi:
In Germany the 64GB version is available in pre-order for mid May at alternate.de

So it seems that mid of May it's also available in EU shops officially... hopefully they'll receive the 256GB version also
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Flatric:
They want 579€ for that... I paid 470 in tradingshenzen for the same phone
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
If the option to buy at this store came up earlier i would consider it easily.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ruicc:
I'm considering buy the Mi Mix 2S from there...just waiting an answer about payment method, because i don't wanna use paypal, only Visa or Mastercard
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Hitchi:
For sure but the point is that your not sure regarding customs and tax and furthermore if u have a problem try to send it back...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Eublepharis8823:
The one from Oppomart, is it the global version?

Also, once it releases, can anyone confirm the 64gb version has global LTE bands?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
Does anyone have a working GIZTOP promo code?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ruicc:

Ordered mine on 11.4, has been shipped on 18.4 but I can't get any information from the tracking link for now... How long did it take for you until you package showed up on the tracking page?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Saiger:
I think they send me a link with the tracking number in the wrong place. I took the number out of the link and tracked it manually on the whistl website.

Only problem is that whistl is slow as **** and doesn't show any information.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Flatric:
Ok, tracked it manually too and now it says item data received for me too. On the website they say that it can take between 5 days and 2 weeks until there is new information if you choose global priority so I think our only option is to wait...:(
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
Well, now i'm a bit relieved. I paid a lot more for the 8/256 i would be very frustrated to see the 8/256 costing so much less just a week after.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Eublepharis8823:
Is the Geekbuying one the global version? Will it support US bands?

Sorry I keep asking, I'm not very good with tech stuff XD

in my area S9 price difference is less than $100, i am confused what makes this phone so special?

i wanted to buy this phone but not in hurry. will the price go lower?

and when it will be available in middle east?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
Well, this phone is better than S9 in my opinion. I will not go in details.

But rest assured the phone will have normal prices as time passes and stock gets normal. I believe in 2 months we can see this phone within its price range:USD 600 for the 6/64 and 750 for the 8/256.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MallocVoidstar:
It's already at $570 for 6/64.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Has anyone bothered with:

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

Is it just not worth it, for the price they are asking ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] MallocVoidstar:
That's a $328 markup. You could buy a pretty good phone with just that markup money
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
I agree, if you have the money to burn fair enough. I wonder how they think they can get away with it then ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
They are get advantage of the short avaiability of this model and it will stay like this for some time because it seems this version will be China exclusive at least for now.

I got with them, unfortunately. Yes, i know i burned the money but my situation is somewhat difficult because i have a tiny deadline to get the phone. I did not find any other place that guarantees the phone to be delivered on time (around 1 week) after purchase. Well they did it! Even faster! I bought it Wednesday and asked to be delivered to US and the phone is already there and it will be delivered by Monday 04/30. They dispatched the phone almost immediately after my purchase and the shipping took about 2 days to get to US. If it was not for the weekend the phone would have been delivered in 3 days after store dispacth, Incredibly fast.

They really have the phone it is not like most of the other stores selling pre order like they have in stock.

Care to say where we can get it for this price?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Hope you enjoy it when you pick it up monday. I hope it is worth every cent :)

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Saiger:
so far only one mail from tradingshenzhen with the tracking number (which still doesnt shoe any new information..)

have you asked whistl directly about this new tracking number? seems pretty weird to me.

from what ive read online it seems that whistl is a very ****ty shipping company..
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] malimukk:
Well, I guess they firstly ship from China to somewhere in the EU. Then they repack and ship again. You probably got the tracking number for EU - your country. I guess that your order did not arrive yet at the first destination, or is not even sent from China yet (since you didn’t get the trackinng numer for the first part).

I was reading through lots of good reviews and info on those 29 pages in this thread. thanks everyone.

but i'm still a bit confused:

2. is/will there be an 8gb international variant with all bands or only the chinese variant?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Keep us updated if and when you change from MIUI to whatever, thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
Hello!

1- It was released but the avaiability is limited. The prices are inflated for this version.

2- Not at the moment. It seems it will take a while for this version get an international variant. Right now the 6/64 Hong Kong version has all the bands according the info's gathered in the topic. Altough it is chinese the 8/256 already has all bands avaiable.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Edward Liu:
The 8+256 version is extremely rare even in China. Once the phone is on sale, it get sold out within a second. If you are really lucky and you successfully get one for RMB 3999, you can easily sell it for about RMB 5000.

So if you want to buy this phone now, you have to pay about RMB 1000, or $160 more than the original price. It might get worse outside China.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Bill Power:
I agree with you. Got mine from liaow and paid a lot more for it.

Like i promised for the others in the topic here the screens my friend sent to me. I'm very happy everthing went fine finally!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Kiinasu:
But oppomart is listing it for a fair looking markup and price. Or will they just not ship until the availability is higher?

8/256 has all bands? Awesome, that's international enough for me.

Yes, I have a mi.com account since 2012 and bought several phones through flash sales, like the extremely hard to get Mi Note Pro and the Mi Mix 1 back when it was brand new.

But this time, whenever I try to get one on flash sale at 10:00 AM it's always sold out. All the Chinese stores use bots to automatically buy the available stock I guess?

Oh god, they ask 959 USD for the 8/256? The mi.com price is 628 USD, that's a 35% increase!

Thanks a lot everyone for your explanations :)

Are the only differences between the chinese and global versions, that the chinese one doesn't come with google services, and there's bloatware (which can mostly be removed)?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] ruicc:
They say on their website, that they belong to a company, in which their core business is selling phones from Hong-Kong.

I think they import to Europe, and then they ship directly to the countries on that site. They charged me about 15 eur for shipping cost.

According to them, the phone will take about 7-10 days to arrive, so i'll post here when i got it.

Yes, i think that are the mainly differences, the original rom in the phone also come with Chinese and English languages.

Once you get the bootloader unlocked (you'll need to wait 360 hours), you can install the global rom...
