[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
My first real Android phone was the OnePlus 3,When I bought that it was €400 and it was one of the first phones with 6gb ram and that phone was brilliant to be honest,great value for money. I also bought the OnePlus 6 two years later at a more pricey €550 or so.That phone was decent but small battery,

I got the Oneplus 6T free from them which I use now through their referral program so in a lot of ways I guess I got a lot back from them,

Though I am bored to death of stock Android and OxygenOs with minimal features, As someone who does not want to get into rooting and messing about again,MIUI looks great, probably not as bug free as OxygenOS but it's certainly packed full of features,

The 9T pro isn't that much different to my 6T in terms of screen size and basics but I think it will be a good upgrade for the cameras,bigger battery,Miui ,and I just plain want a new gadget to play with,

Certainly now the way things are going with Oneplus,it is now flagship and Xiaomi have taken its place in the flagship killer category

Could you please tell me what firmware has? I have 8/256 as well, but China version.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] sofir786:
I am now on stable android 10 10.4.6
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] gdfath3r:
Ok....you trying to be funny....I am on 10.3.17.0 PFKCNXM . This is my firmware. I expected to tell me something similar.

What happened with your chinese based firmware K20 pro phone of yours? Did you sell it?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
MIUI is a bit of a mixed bag. There's some good things and bad things. However, for me the worst thing is the data harvesting, which seems to be on a far worse scale than Google (which is bad enough). Xiaomi openly admit they make their money mostly from your data, not from hardware sales. The other big issue is bloat. Having had OnePlus devices and LineageOS for such a long time, I was shocked at the level of bloat.

Many people don't care about such things and are happy to live with MIUI, but if these things bother and you want MIUI you then you'll want to change the ROM to a xiaomi.eu ROM, or one if it's derivatives. Unfortunately this will mean some messing about again.

As someone that is happy messing with their phone, this is a great alternative to OnePlus, now that they've abandoned their flagship killer ethos and gone to the overpriced 'premium price so it must be premium' mentality.

If you don't want to mess with your phone, then MIUI is marmite (I assume that's available over the other side of the Irish Sea and you understand what I mean). If you find you don't like it (and if you don't, it will be something you can't live with, there's rarely any in between), then you'll need to either get your hands dirty, or sell it on.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Yes,I do know that MIUI will not be the greatest Android skin out there,it will certainly not be as smooth as OxygenOS OS or other close to stock OS out there and I am aware of Xiaomi's policy on data collection etc,so perhaps Xiaomi.eu ROM would have to be used at some point,

I am attracted to MIUI though for the sheer amount of features as compared to OxygenOs,for example OxygenOS has no Always on Display,it has ambient display but no option for always on,there are little things in MIUI for customization etc than OxygenOS doesn't have,

But yes I do agree with you,MIUI could be something that I might hate,I'll have bought the 9T pro and could end up hating it because of MIUI,this is one of my concerns alright

A bit of news: my order from eglobal is now processing whatever that means. I got a mail that they (finally) got my money and now are collecting my stuff.

Sounds good,looks like you might even be on track for the agreed 6-8 days delivery

Anyone with the mi 9t pro 256gb got Android Q? or what version does everyone have at the moment
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
inally took the plunge (after a long debate with myself) after a couple weeks of being on the fence,still have a OnePlus 6T which is an excellent phone but Oneplus now focused on the flagship market confirmed to me lately as they ignored the 6/6t with Android 10 beta,

Figure I should go now for Xiaomi,they are

now the flagship killer, affordable top spec device,will sell my 6T and it might cost me €150 max, hopefully only 100, and I may have to root ,but don't really mind,(5 years on a computer science degree I really don't like getting into that sh*t but hey I will of its worth it )

Will update on my progress

Did get email straight away with order number and saying now processing your order,the wait I guess is on
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ma_ko:
neat, let's see which one of us will get their hands on the phone earlier :cool:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Lol,bound to be you ,or else there's something really wrong
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
Yup. That's what it said. For more than a week. Then when I emailed & asked what was going on, they swiftly replied that "my phone unfortunately had gone out of stock". I had to await the restocking, which was supposed to be 1-3 days. Finally, I got an email that the phone had been dispatched, & a link to a tracking site. It's just that the site is made by eglobal themselves, & has nothing to do with reality at all. According to eglobal's tracking site, my parcel was handed over to GLS Netherlands, one week ago. Still when I check the tracking function over at GLS just now, it says the parcel still hasn't been handed over to them. So I guess 6-8 days will be more like 2-3 weeks. At least in my case. So just relax.....

On the other hand, I just read a somewhat uplifting first impression review on a swedish forum. The dude had purchased the same 8/256 model, also from eglobal. He was impressed with the solid feeling, the smooth sw, the sheer looks, and the overall user experience. And he came from a line of flagship phones, of which he didn't miss a single one....

To quote Yes; "Hooold on, hoooold on" (you're correct - I'm jurassic)

:laugh:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Wow,doesn't sound so good,just ordered it an hour or so ago.probably wouldn't have if I read this,guess I'm in for a long wait but hey ,paid with PayPal so protected,never had issue getting money back when wronged by these types
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] sofir786:
Here you go
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
Hey, don't worry! Perhaps it's just my usual bad luck.

Anyway, we'll probably get some great piece of hardware. Most users seem pretty overwhelmed, & hopefully we will be too. I have no doubt my phone will show up, sooner or later. But just maybe, you guys will get yours even before me....

Peace! :good:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Yea hopefully,seems like a great piece of kit,I'm in Ireland and I know people around here who have used eglobal with no problems whatsoever,

though there is always the doubt when you here stuff like that,

You guys say you got email after a few days about processing your order,I got one more or less immediately,not sure if that has any significance
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
I also got the email instantly. I'm sure it's an automated procedure, so the same for everyone. In my case, it ended up in the spam folder. So I didn't see it 'til monday (placed the order on friday before). Fingers crossed they speed things up a bit...
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ma_ko:
I got the mail that they are processing my package 3 days after making and order and paying. It says something like:

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ma_ko:
No, I got this mail today, while I ordered and paid for the phone on Tuesday. But from what I read this time (3 days) is quite normal if you don't pay through PayPal.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Mmmm,well I guess we're on the same footing,they seem pretty slow either way
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
I would be nervous if I were you,just reading their terms and conditions on their website and seems it will be very difficult to get a refund if your package is quote in quote "lost",

says if you don't claim refund within 10 days after receiving tracking info they basically can't help you

Am having regrets ordering here now,the more I read their terms and conditions,the more dodgy it gets

https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/shipping-and-insurance-eu
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
I guess I'm not the worrying kind ;)

Anyway, I'll drop them another email today, where a potential paypal dispute will be mentioned. No big hopes tho, since they seem to have only standard replies to offer. Oh well, it will arrive, sooner or later...
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Well ,I hope so for you,I'm cancelling my order(which their terms state I can,but I expect problems),

I don't fancy waiting two,three weeks for something that mightn't even come,

I guess I'm also kind of aware that my 6T is still a great phone and perhaps I don't need this phone,

I certainly don't need the hassle and waiting involved in dealing with dodgy retailers,

I think it's best for me to just hang on to my 6T and think of next year,perhaps a Mi 10 or 10T ,

I wish you all the luck in getting your phone quickly,I guess I've lost faith after I last week had a bad experience with Honor buy where they took my money for out of stock phone also giving me a worthless tracking number
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
Thanx, mate!

Hopefully, your reimbursement will be painless & swift!

:good:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Hope so, cancelled it yesterday as feel that a refund would be better than dealing with the long wait that would likely come,

Might have a look at Amazon which would gaurentee a good experience,downside only being not getting that topped spec varient but I'll only use the phone for a year or so,so should not really be an issue and might actually go for the standard 9T, glacier blue which is all I need really
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
In fairness to eglobal,they were prompt with a reply saying they will process my refund that may take up to five days to return to my account,

Sure enough on my PayPal it is showing as refunded
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] android2819:
Regarding the buying options of this model

Hi everyone. So after going through this entire thread, i take it as currently to get the MI 9T PRO 8/256 version there are 2 certified sellers: wondamobile and eglobal who ship to most EU countries.

From those 2 eglobal is cheaper but might be a slight bigger hassle due to transport from what i understand.

As for buying options from eglobal, what payment method is the most viable in case of a refund if the phone sits weeks in transport? I assume paypal, as plain credit card doesn't have customer protection?

One other thing, those who have received this version from those 2 sellers, by using it up to now is everything 100% alright? No issues, no fake global rom, and stuff like that?

Also, in case the phone gets damaged in transport or i just dont like it, do they easily accept a return once notified?

If anyone else can pinpoint me to other sellers(if they are), would be much appreciated!

Thanks all!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
If you can afford it go with winds mobile, especially if your in the UK where delivery is free,

I have done my research on Eglobal and if the device is delivered as many have got it,it should be sealed official global version with UK charger as per Hong Kong,

Paypal is your safest bet as you can always open a PayPal dispute if your don't receive the item or it is different to what you ordered, you should choose insured option on Eglobal when ordering as they seem to use this as excuse to do you if you dont.

I ordered the phone off eglobal but cancelled after hearing people's misfortune of waiting weeks,my refund was given promptly but my order was still only in the processing stage.

I am considering paying the extra now for wonda but it will cost about €500 to get it to Ireland,but wonda seem more legit with better reviews and still cheap compared to other phones.

Am interested to see how the others are getting on with their orders because I might still consider eglobal if they eventually deliver

Check eBay also as some sellers listing the device 8/256 but all seem to be Hong Kong based so I would have little faith in them also
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
I agree to most of your conclusion. As a little update on my own order from Eglobalcenter;

my phone has now entered Sweden, and I will probably have it before end of the week.

I have no doubt that the phone will be 100% legit, sealed & so on. However, if you're in

a hurry - don't pick Eglobalcenter as your source! 6-8 days will be more like 3 weeks!

Also, the customer support isn't much to cheer about. When you ask questions, you

only get standard replies from them. So, all in all, would I choose them again - no!

On the other hand, the 8/256 version at Eglobalcentral costs about 40€ less than

what the 6/128 version does in Sweden. So if you're pennywise - maybe Eglobal...

:silly::laugh::good:
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Glad it's finally working out for you,long wait alright and a big deviation on their 6 to 8 days. I agree their customer service just send out pre defined replies, obviously generic.

You will enjoy the phone I'm sure and a just reward for your patience, patience I surely don't have,

Fill us in on the quality of the device packaging etc after you get it,best of luck

I've got mine 8/256 from eGlobal to germany. Original sealed, no fake rom. Everthing ok. Delivery takes two weeks.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
Wanna share a little review, perhaps...? :)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] zickzack1964:
What did you wanna hear? The only difference to 6/128 is, the memory.

So I can say, yeah, I have 128GB more space for my FLACs or MP3s. ;)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
Well, what I really would have wanted to hear, is more like; "wow, the 2 xtra gig's of RAM really makes a difference"!

Or perhaps; "geez, the 855 CPU really delivers a far better performance, than the lame budget version of 730"....

:D:laugh:

But I guess it takes a lot more to impress a user like yourself, huh? What phone did the Xiaomi replace?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
Does MIUI bother You or are you already familiar ?

Have you gotten any OTAs yet or have you gone the Xiaomi.eu route ?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] zickzack1964:
[MENTION=1634247]Televinken[/MENTION] : It replaced a Pocophone F1.

For me it's just a phone, without an ugly notch and with NFC.

[MENTION=7458241]manus31[/MENTION] : I'm on xiaomi.eu. MIUI 11 9.9.26, Nova Launcher, Magisk 19.4.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] manus31:
I'm sure you feel the upgrade,didn't you say your coming from a Nexus 6,you will have trebled your ram almost and your cpu Wil be blazing fast,not to mention the battery and display,

guess people who upgrade often don't see much difference in iterations,I agree with this because I'm pretty sure I don't see much difference in my Oneplus 3 and 6T , processors have been excellent for the last 5 years and improvements have been minimal with each generation,

Even the standard 9T would be excellent because the SD 730 is currently the third most powerful snapdragon behind the 855 and 845
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
I was simply ranting a little bit, since most people on XDA are fanatics (more or less). Zickzack was so cool about it, which was a bit surprising to me. I come from a jurassic phone (in xda-measures), & I realize most people in here are hard to impress, simply 'cause they change phone so often. Since I change approx. every 5 years, I'm convinced this one will be a blast (to me).

:good::D

Great news,happy for you, probably seems smaller than the Nexus because there's no bezels,all screen on the 9T which is nice !!

Great that it's all legit and eglobal finally came through,don't think I'll get this model though,in retrospect I'm happy I cancelled my order as just got a load of bills coming in(that's life).

May go for the standard 9T though as I like the design and will only use for a year or so,

Enjoy the device anyway !!

can you post screenshot if it really supports B20 LTE? And also screenshot of RAM and ROM if its really 8/256. Thank you in advance.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
Of course I could, if my word isn't good enough?

When I check under settings, the 8 gig ram is there

as well as the 256 gig rom. I haven't scientifically seen

any "proof" of any bands at all, but since 3 is my operator

it would never work without it. Checked speed yesterday

when driving in the countryside, and the 75,5mbit/s that

was measured, is the highest rate I've ever reached in a car.

The phone is a Mi 9T Pro with global rom, and you can see

for youself on the Xiaomi site what bands are supported.

Here's what it says there:

Supported network bands:

GSM: B2/B3/B5/B8

WCDMA:B1/B2/B4/B5/B8

FDD-LTE:B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28

TDD-LTE:B38/B40

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Televinken:
I'm sure you'll be very happy with this unit, if you decide to keep it.

It's blazing fast, butter smooth, loads of config.possibilities, & extremely

light on battery. And for the price tag, I doubt there is now a better choice.

Any cons? -Naturally!

1. Prepare for an extremely slippery phone! It WILL drop from any surface.

2. The notification led is a joke. You'll hardly know it's there. Quite useless.

3. The "letterbox" screen ratio suck. But it's the same with all new phones.

4. ACR Pro didn't work on BT headset. Gonna try Cube call recorder now.

Would I choose this phone again? -Definitely! :good:

I'm happy with the picture quality, but I'll test Gcam as well.

It's said to be even better. Battery life is impressing. Charge

is no longer necessary, on a daily basis. (I'm no gamer)

The only thing that's irritating, is the notification LED.

It's more or less a joke. Almost invisible in daylight.

Otherwise, a great piece of hardware!
