I don't see any mention of band 42 on any network in UK, just see n78 which it has, other people in Europe have 5g working.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] bigoliver:
It looks to me that band 42 is simply another name for the n78 band?

Looks like this has just been a misunderstanding. I just wanted to make sure all bands are included before purchase. Which it seems they are.

Thanks for your help.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
I must warn you and take this extremely seriously. Do not buy a Chinese phone with the Global Rom flashed. This will hurt you when you want to upgrade. Xiaomi Phones work just like Apple phones, and the owner needs to bind their device to their own personal MiCloud account. These nefarious vendors, flash global roms attempting to get a kickstart on the Global market by selling to the world before Xiaomi is ready.

If you dont have the phone bound to you, it is worthless if ever bricked there will be no way to fix it. On the other hand, if the phone is bound to you, all Xiaomi phones are extremely easy to repair. Without a doubt Xiaomi phones are absolutely stellar.

Back to the bands, I am also seeing conflicting reports as well. The global devices will in fact have more bands than I thought and yes, it is possible to use the global modem and have more bands available.

But dont buy a Chinese phone unless it comes with the OEM Chinese software and with a locked bootloader. You can still unlock it yourself, and the Chinese phones work with 2 languages Chinese and English. If you own a Chinese version, you can always use the Global Xiuaomi.EU rom which globalises the China Beta rom and Xiaomi.EU is usually the bleeding edge of the Miui software.

Once again, if you buy the device, spend more money and buy a Global device, that you unlock yourself. Also FYI there is usually a two week wait before you can unlock the bootloader. This is a policy made that Xiaomi made that intended to deter unscrupulous vendors from exploiting western consumers. nonetheless, they are still cheating consumers!
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] bigoliver:
Excellent reply, thank you.

I had already given up on a Chinese version, due to the missing band 20 and apparently Netflix and Google pay issue. Your reply makes me even more content that I'm making the right choice.

I did wonder why unlocking the bootloader take so long, your explanation makes sense.

The Mi 10 pro that I wanted is more expensive than I expected, I'm now probably going to get the Mi Note 10 whilst it's on offer £379. The Mi 10 pro isn't currently available through the official UK website, but judging the price in EU countries it'll cost €999 which currently converts to £891. I just wouldn't feel comfortable carry such an expensive phone around with me.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] :
Be carefull when buying the global version - both, Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro Global are only Single SIM, no DualSIM-support!

Taking nearly 300€ than in China and the phone is worse due to lack of DualSIM isn't acceptable... China Version also fails because of the lack of 4G Band 20, so I think Mi 10 completly fails for me...
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] james1089:
Google pay working fine on Chinese version, maybe occasionally I only get h+ instead of 4g on Vodafone, 90% I'm getting lte
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] bigoliver:
I've ended up ordering a Mi Note 10 directly from Xiaomi UK.

It was on offer at only £379.

There's no chance of any custom charges, all network bands, UK official charger, free delivery, better warranty.

I just couldn't justify €899 - €999 official price, for something I could drop and smash. The way I look at it, with the money I save I can upgrade to a 5g phone in s year where there's more infrastructure and the phones are cheaper.

I was tempted by the Mi 10 lite, but the camera is very important to me. If I've had bought the mi 10, I would have needed the pro edition otherwise it would have had arguably a worse camera than the Mi Note 10.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] james1089:
Yeah they asked me if I wanted the play store installing or sealed box, went for the latter. I always buy the Chinese version mainly because I'm impatient never really had any problems.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] -fluffy-:
well mine was sealed an had gplay installed
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] MacGuy2006:
You WILL start having problems, as Google is finally patching SafetyNet and stuff like Magisk will no longer work on any Android 8 and newer phone.

https://www.xda-developers.com/magisk-no-longer-hide-bootloader-unlock-status/

So, you can save a few pounds and then you will be unable to use secure apps, like Google Pay or banking apps, and possibly subscription media apps. Bad idea, if you ask me.

I also wonder why buy the Mi 10 when the camera set up is worse than the Mi Note 10 set up and the Global Mi Note 10 is way cheaper and for many, a much better buy, at least if you care about the cameras.

I have the Mi Note 10 Global and was going to get the Mi 10 Pro, because of the arguably better zoom, but the price is just not worth it. To boot, while I like the main camera on the Mi Note 10, the other cameras are substandard. Even the main camera is largely inconsistent and while pixel-peeping was fun initially, overall my old Pixel 3XL took better shots. Now I find myself often carrying an iPhone 10, because its shots are just better balanced overall and more consistent. Xiaomi also sucks at support and updates are few and far between, even security updates. But to each their own.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] QAM:
Hola

I am confused and I hope someone can provide some answers. While I understand that the Mi 10 GLOBAL version is released, my question is when exactly will it be ready for purchase outside of China - Some as on Amazon.es or Amazon.co.uk sites? I see a few Chinese based online retailers offering "pre-orders" for the Global version but no one is saying exactly when it will be ready for shipping.

From this thread it seems that Giztop.com, geekbuying.com, banggood.com, and some Aliexpress vendors are offering the Global version under their pre-orders...

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
There is a delay because of coronavirus, so before announcing it globally Xiaomi are probably building up final product and raw materials stock.

Also, it's probably a good idea to wait longer, the prices that we are seeing right now are definitely higher than what it will be once it widely available in the western marketplace..200. At the moment, even the older units such as the Mi 9 and Mi8 are much higher priced at the moment. ($100 + more than what they were selling for 2 ,months ago)

"At the global Xiaomi Mi 10 launch event the company announced the two top phones would be released either April 7 and April 15 depending on country, although pre-orders start before. There are pre-order bonuses that depend on region too. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite, though, is set to come a little later, in May 2020." Source : Tech Radar

Furthermore: " TechRadar has been told that while the Xiaomi Mi 10 is coming to the UK ( and the rest of the world?) soon, the Mi 10 Pro and Lite might take quite a bit longer, although in Europe they're all coming together."
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] deuse:
Way over priced.

One can get the the Chinese Pro version for £600.

Then just flash the EU ROM.

They will have to lower there price to the OnePlus 8 and Pro prices.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
Dude, I completely agree!

I am absolutely shocked that this new "Global Flagship" has less bands than the Mix 2, Mix 3, Mi 8 and Mi 9.

Whatever happened to taking care of the basics first...you know being able to make phones all throughout the world. Don't call it a global device unless it is Truly global and not only does it lack too many 5G bands, it is now missing primary LTE bands for North America. Every new release by Xiaomi has less and less bands. Even super low budget phones have all of the bands.

I have supported Xiaomi for years but have decided to buy the Oneplus instead.

[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] naveed:
Hey, just a heads up to anyone wanting to order within the EU.

I just ordered the global version on Ali Express from a seller (name: GShopper Mi Store) with the option to ship from Spain (so ships within EU and no extra customs or anything) to the UK for £477.97

Another person on another forum ordered from there yesterday and got a dispatch notice today stating he'll receive it by Friday (so I'm hopeful of the same!)

Edit: Oops, looks like the option for Spain is out of stock right now. When I ordered a couple of hours ago, there were 3 left.

Hey guys I just got this phone and I'm wondering if it's worthy flashing a custom ROM like Pixel Experience?

I'm asking this cause on some of my older phones like Xperia Z3, flashing a custom ROM breaks some stuff like camera (making the quality of the photos so poor) and I even heard that on this device it will break fingerprint or even Android Auto!

This three are critical for me, so do you guys recommend flashing Pixel Experience or simply root and debloat MIUI as I did with Sony"s software?
