Good! Sounds to me not many disadvantages in buying the China version then.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nono52:
Hi, I have a question about the frequency, my operator need this channel

B3 — (1800 +)

B7 —2600 MHz

B28 - 700 APT

28B: 718–748 MHz ( In development, small quantity installed at the moment)

If I buy the chinness version, will I have some problems?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
It'll work.

The CN version supports all of those bands except for B28B which sounds like it won't matter much at present in your example.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nono52:
Thanks Kyero.

I will pre-order it best site to Recommend? Giztop?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Giztop is good and you can even get a 5% discount from the newsletter sign-up.

Most of the variants are showing as in stock but I'd recommend TradingShenzhen as you won't need to pay any tax, including import sales tax if Global Priority is available as a shipping option for you (this can easily save up to 10-20% on top of the price you've paid for).
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nono52:
Out of stock on TradingShenzhen =/
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
Ah ok, try Wondamobile. They're based in HK and are just as good or if not even better (import tax and fees all paid for too they say). They're really well reviewed.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] nono52:
Thanks, i looked at how to flash the phone before buying a chinese version, there is a lot of problem on application downloads via playstore and also on banking applications after bootloader unlocking.

I really hesitate to order it now..
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] kyero985:
It's your call, the global version should hopefully be out by the end of April anyway.

The prices will no doubt cost a bit more as it's supposed to be at least 1200EUR. However, that would definitely give you peace of mind in terms of app support if you're willing to wait and pay a bit more. You should get slightly better resell value in the future with potential buyers too, so that's another plus over the CN model.

Personally, I'm happy to save a little bit of money to have it early just because I really want to use this new beast as I'm coming from a Huawei without GMS and I've thought and waited very hard about the S21 Ultra but in the end I just felt I could get something better for my needs.

Lucky you, congratulations. Am in 😭😭😭😭

Tell me, how good is it?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Have you? From mi-store.com.au? It's been out of stock for weeks mate. My order was placed on 19th of april and was dispatched just last night
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] hassanaliyeh:
Can you send a screenshot of the software version please? Is it EEA or global?

And does it have a charger in the box?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] DREW76:
If I remember I'll do that later. Only opened the box to see if there was a charger inside, which there is, a 67W charger with US pins. Comes with a 30W Mi charger with Aust pins. So if you don't have one already, you'll need an adapter
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
What's the difference between EEA and Global? I though there were only CN and Global vers.

Great, I bought around 10 from ebay for the price of less than 10$ in total long ago and still sitting on my shelf :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Princevelyn:
Everybody don't order from Bluediode, I'm still waiting on mine that I ordered back on the 14th of April, that and other issues with them. They may be the cheapest.. but the service shows you why
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
Honestly I thought that site is a scam lol. O don't think they offer PayPal. You should maybe do a chargeback man. Going for the cheapest option abroad might come on more expensive (example: no shipping at all, shipprd but customs apply etc)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
I went for the cn version since I wanted to opt in for the 512 version. Also price was vastly cheaper and the cn Rom is supposed to be better than eea/global rom with just minor drawbacks such as maybe a feature missing i don't need anyway in pretty much all other aspects the cn Rom is suppose to be better. Twrp will come in a few months anyway. So xiaomi Eu will probably be my choice down the line.

Also i got told today that it shipped yesterday and I got the tracking number (sadly they added Nilkin cases few days after I ordered, i need to look for those now)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
Still waiting on mine - ordered from Wonda on 6 May and have a tracking number to be delivered (London) by midday today. Unfortunately, FedEx tracking show it has been at Chek Lap Kok airport in HK for a couple of days. Can't see it arriving in the next 23 minutes.....!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Gh5st:
Received mine (global version) from Wondamobile last friday..

Everything is perfect.

The delivery to Germany took 5 days.

I will receive another global version the next few days.. Don't know exactly when because tracking is not working properly.

The second device that is coming I will sell.

I ordered two due to an error. 😅
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] chistery:
I think you're confusing the official EEA version and the EU version.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mstrflsh:
Keep me posted... is it black or white?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Gh5st:
Black..

I haven't seen the white version anywhere (global version) 😳
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
I'm not usually into white phones but marble white seems interesting
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mstrflsh:
I thought that was the case but just checking :D

Feel free to DM me how much you'd like and where it's coming from country wise please!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Princevelyn:
Oh they take Paypal... It's just they seem to be run by idiots who don't believe in time management. From a poorly maintained website to inconsistent responses to emails. The only reason I didn't cancel is because I didn't want to start the wait all over again.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jericho246:
Lol looks like I'm finally gonna get my hands on my Mi 11 Ultra... I ordered the global model right after it became available in my country, unfortunately the delivery company had some weird logistic problems because the phone was supposed to be delivered 2 days ago. Fingers crossed for today :)

edit: just received it :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Psimel14:
On tradingshenzhen.com now you can check Firmware what you want : CHN, EU or GLOBAL.

Good Moment to buy few and earn some money.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:

Who would import a global version for more than 1200 Eur however?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Princevelyn:
I wouldn't but just sharing in case anyone really needs that global version
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] -iHackerz-:
Anyone ordered from Giztop to europe? Did you have to pay any additional taxes/import fees?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
Did anyone based in UK purchased the global version on Aliexpress? Yesterday my parcel arrived to my country but it says "due to logistic backlog your parcel is delayed 12 days", anyone knows how effectively took the phone to arrive?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] wildlime:
This is not official global. It's chinese flashed. The easiest way to tell if it's proper global is it has a CE mark on back and it supports band 32 on 4G. If it doesn't have this it's not proper global
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jmikepr:
I just listed my Xiaomi MI Ultra 11 512/12GB White model flashed with Xiaomi.EU Stable on Swappa.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] sc954rr:
Oh no I just saw that pop up in my email. That's a sweet package of goodies to!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] panda24z:
The post could be reusing their previous photos/post as a template? The details state B32 and B66 supported. There is also a question/comment section stating that, "This is global version (Europe version), with EU charger." I would reach out, but looking at the general info on the post, it looks like it's the global? There are some fishy things like,"Charger included as a gift."

The Chinese had a clear text indicator stating it was a CN ROM. This has no mention of it being a Chinese model. I don't think they would lie to consumers, but idk. I would ask them prior to confirm I guess.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
The swappa offer for 512 gb seems like a very fair deal. Too bad I'm not in the us and not into white phones that much. Will be sold quickly i guess.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Princevelyn:
They have two listings and the one I posted is the official global rom with EU charger in box

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Almukhtar7:
Yes
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
Well they don't have very good prices tbh. I mean they're alright but yeah... Is their shipping method via eu reshipping? Aka EU priority line shipping?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Almukhtar7:
Yes

Really? I thought they had better prices than gizmo and trading schenzen*.

They ship directly not drop shipping.. Their shipping method varies depending on which country they even offer DHL shipping
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
So taxes apply there too....

And not always.. Depending on what value/items they put on the package..
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] acm1108:
Well the first guy bailed.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
Just in case anyone else is thinking of ordering from Wonda. My CN 12/256 has now been at Paris airport since Tuesday (the day it was supposed to be delivered to London). No update for delivery at the moment and no update for when it might leave France! Wonda have refunded the 'Smooth Delivery' payment and say that the delay is due to a backlog of items (although didn't mention this on the website when I purchased).

I have used Wonda before and was impressed with their speed of communication - and to be fair that is the same now. Just if you want the CN version in a hurry, this may not be the way to go at the moment.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
Mine was from winds and mine was delayed in Paris too. The delivery was really good when they used DHL but since moving to FedX, it's been a sham. It's a shame for a good company to now have had delivery service.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
I have a similar issue with Aliexpress statiting this backlog when arrived to UK (London). Weird is that if I update the traking page this message disappears
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
Well my shipment is still in the status saying "Depart from facility to service provider." Guess it's waiting for a flight.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
It is so frustrating. I of course understand that there is a pandemic on - but that has been going for a little while now and so many companies have been able to adjust. Not even to be able to give a revised delivery date is very annoying
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] chistery:
My last delivery hung around in Roissy CDG for a while, then suddenly it was loaded onto a plane at 4.24am and arrived at my door in London 7 hours later.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
Well mine is stuck with the status mentioned about for about 3 days. As I said I assume it's waiting to get booked onto a plane or something

Had that once with something tiny via AliExpress. Certainly not a fun experience, especially when it would be something like this.

I hate shopping abroad. I'm so impatient. At least I didn't order 3 mi 11 ultras, looking at you @acm1108 (no hate tho, I get it)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] heinhuiz:
You should probably blame Brexit for it, not the pandemic.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
Perhaps, but not when the originating place is HK? Either way, Brexit was on the cards for long enough for it also to be a pretty rubbish excuse for delays....!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
Brexit made shipping quite complex and there's definitely a few hiccups there
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
Hopefully, they'll find space for my little package shortly!!!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] heinhuiz:
Exactly and it is just not fair to blame suppliers for that.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] wildlime:
I can tell you now that is not official global. There is no MIUI 12.5 for global or eu official yet. That's your first red flag.

It's Chinese with bootloader unlocked and global rom flashed. It's not the official global model which includes the additional bands and antenna. You will never be able to lock the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
Certainly not blaming supplier. My gripe is with the shipping companies - not least for not keeping to their own deadlines and then not being able to give accurate information.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RX1337:
Let me put this differently for you. The companies are in the crossfire of the current situation. More shipping demand due to the corona virus pandemic (yes it's slowly leaving but more people shop online now) and brexit for UK ppl
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
Thanks. I am involved in international trade so I know the details of how the market operates....!

Could anybody tell me if a package status of "depart from facility to service provider" being stuck for 3 days in Shenzhen is normal?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] mstrflsh:
Hey, thank you though their prices are very high, the same as Xiaomi UK. There's around £40 of difference so I'm still waiting for further drops.

The Chinese model might genuinely be my best choice for a while, flashed with Xiaomi.eu ROM.

Slightly worried about Google Pay not working over the life of the device which is holding me back from the Chinese version!
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] panda24z:
There was a Reddit post created yesterday with several users saying they got 12.5 on their EU variant. I personally haven't received the update on my global unit, but it's not the EU version. So it's totally possible.

that was Mi 11 (non Ultra).

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] TyreReviews:
As an english person currently in the US with a recently smashed oneplus 8 pro screen I thought it would be the perfect time to upgrade to the Xi 11 Pro or S21 Ultra as I really don't rate the oneplus.

Of course, as someone with dual citizenship I need dual sim, so that rules out a local S21 Ultra (thanks american monopolies) so I've been trying to find an EU version of the Xi 11 Pro in the UK or here (I can have someone ship out the UK version) and what would you know, it's freaking impossible to find.

I'm a heavy google pay / google assistant user so I don't want to mess with Chinese version with flashed ROM.

Anyone selling one? :D I had my Pixel 2 XL with me so I'm currently using that, but boy does it feel slow after the oneplus 8 pro.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Parkourhaderatt:
Ive been waiting for 2 months for a global version in a normal price, It suppose to cost 1100$ not 1500$ like every website, I think its stupid to buy it for 1500$

Thanks for catching my mistake. If that's the case, then yeah. 12.5 sounds sketch on Global Ultra ATM.

You can easy buy 512gb for 1000€ and Flash EU.

China version misses modem bands, it has issues with Vodafone UK for example (which is my case)

Wondamobile customer service is excellent.

Shipping delays are happening a lot it seems. Issues are covid, customs clearance and the Brexit additional paperwork. I was speaking to FedEx and it seems it’s chaos at certain times & places.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] SlyUK:
Which are the legitimate or best places to purchase the official global model from kindly ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
Agreed. Super responsive
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] KATANA_TEAM:
Hi guys.

I'm about to buy a MI Ultra. I'm interested in the 12/256 variant. I want to make a purchase on tradingshenzhen or wondamobile.

Do you know witch is faster? And how long more or less does it take to arrive in Germany?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jericho246:
Both ship from China, so probably not that big of a difference between the two shops.

If I recall correctly, it's maximum 16 days on TradingShenzhen (global priority) whereas WondaMobile says 7-10 days. So on paper Wonda should be sligthly faster, but you never know. You can't go wrong with either shop in my opinion. :)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jericho246:
I got a question of my own: has anyone ordered anything on Giztop? Phone, case, accessory, doesn't matter. If you have, did you get a tracking number?

I ordered a Nillkin case and a protector for the camera, but I haven't received a tracking number or anything. Just the order confirmation (over a week ago). I contacted Giztop but they haven't responded yet... I wonder if they shipped it
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Gh5st:
Usually wondamobile is much faster than tradingshenzhen. 😊

For a delivery to Germany they usually need 5 days.

They ship to italy and from there with DHL Express to germany.

I have used both shops and wondamobile is in my opinion minimally better in every point.

But there may be unexpected problems at both shops and both are good.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Monipeev:
And if I can ask.

Should I rely only on what is written by the seller in the online store?

Please someone really familiar to share how to recognize the different versions of the model? Something on the logo or inscriptions on the box, on the device itself, because if it's software, if they put Global software, we can probably be fooled.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
You can verify the model with the IMEI number
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jericho246:
TradingShenzhen​

TradingShenzhen offers 3 options

Spoiler content hidden.

Things to note:

AFAIK TradingShenzhen only sells Chinese variants, with the option to have Xiaomi.EU or Global ROM.

Xiaomi.EU Firmware is NOT official, it's a community made ROM.

If you choose Xiaomi.eu or the flashed global firmware, you will have to wait 12-15 extra days. It's necessary because the guys at TradingShenzhen have to unlock the bootloader, which takes 168 hours, then they will flash the ROM you chose - Xiaomi.EU or Global.

Flashing ROM on Chinese model does not unlock additional network bands.

And W1 means Widevine L1 (I think), so you'll be able to watch Netflix in HD & HDR.

WondaMobile​

The Global variant that sometimes appears on the Wondamobile site, is indeed a Global model. Confirmed by @Gh5st who already received his device.

At the time I'm typing this post, it's not available. Don't forget to check here regularly... It might appear again. Or not.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Gh5st:
Yes the global variant that appears somethimes at wondamobile is indeed the global model.

I know it because I ordered one by myself and got it already. 🙂
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] jericho246:
Thanks for the confirmation. I will edit my post.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] panda24z:
I can't say for Germany, but I bought my global variant from WondaMobile to the States. I paid for express shipping and received the unit in around 5 days. Processing is quick and customer support is great. No customs was paid on my side either, so whatever you pay on the site should be final.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] samteeee:
Hi;

I've bought many devices from them, friendly & trustworthy and more importantly we're next door!

xiaomi-mi-11-ultra
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] yquitumadbro:
There's a YouTuber flossy Carter who only gets his foreign devices from giztop. He vouches for them he made a review for the phone and that's where he got his from. I also bought my global variant from them yesterday they seem to be prompt. I had a conversation with them through their IM as well and had to email them and they answered within 24 hours. Here's the link to his video and you can see the link in the bio. Also I'm in the US not sure if that matters lol.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
I have always found Wonda to be very accurate - they publish all the bands and also publish answers to queries.

As to timing, they dispatched mine straight away (same day). I paid for the smooth delivery, which they have no refunded. It is arriving monday (hopefully!) so about 10 days.

Any version to be sold in the EU has the CE mark on it, I believe
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
Yeah, global version has got the CE logo and some other writing on the bottom under the Xiaomi logo on the rear of the phone.

May I ask how many versions of this phone exist? Chinese, India and global? Or there is also European? What the best version for UK?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] yquitumadbro:
There's the Chinese, the India, the EEA Global version (European mainly), then the global version for the rest of the world.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] apd:
I’m going with the Chinese version. The UK price is madness compared to the price of the Chinese version. There appear to be issues with the China version on Vodafone UK but otherwise all seems well. If necessary, I’ll flash one of the other ROMs but from what I’ve read there’s no significant problems with the stock ROM and simply installing Google services.

I think Xiaomi did stop allowing people to stop installing Google services on Chinese handsets but as I understand it that doesn’t apply to phones with the SD888 so not this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] xNAPx:
So there is a EU global and a global for the rest of the world, which of the 2 should work flawlessly in UK. China version looks indeed to have some problems with Vodafone UK (which is my provider). I bought a global version with eu charger, so I believe should be the EEA global, is it the right one for UK?
