Looking for a compactish android phone, that has somewhat flagship specs and I see pb tech is now selling the xiaomi 17, which I am sure this is the global version.

 

 Anyone know if it  has access to the Google play store,  banking apps and Android Auto etc. hopefully some owners can chime in.

The fact that it's the global version and not Chinese version means all those should work.

 

I am using a OnePlus 13 global version, Google Play services, Android Auto and banking apps works no problems.

I'm on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro 5G and had no issues with Google Play etc.

 

You should be all good.
