Chinese versions popped up on mighty ape

 

Nice. Fingers crossed the international global version arrives soon.

Is the hardware 100% identical between Chinese version and Global version, and its just a different software ROM loaded, or is there more to it?

Would be nice if you could flash the Chinese version to have the Global ROM, but given there is a price difference I think there must be more to it than that.

No esim support and different band support

...possibly some Chinese bloatware you can't remove, limited/no NFC support for banking apps for Google Pay/PayWave, possible system backdoor open to your data being secretly sent back to CCP.

NFC worked on Vivo chinese ROMS absolutely fine, only thing that didn't was google timeline, otherwise operated as per.

Neat stuff, keep us posted. Would be very interested to see what is on the packing slip/invoice for the value that customs see.

Did you end up getting the photography kit, or just go with the phone alone? Tundra Umbra or Orange... ?

I'm in two minds, but I think the phone alone will be enough for me. I hope to pull the pin and place an order soon too.
