Hey I’m in NJ/ USA deciding between all 4 and i’m having a hard time because i’m getting contrasting information from xiaomi international global and xiaomi global reddits about global vs chinese as far as ownership. Considering one or the other screen size isn’t a issue but battery life is (currently using a one plus 13 so I’m spoiled battery wise) however despite owning one plus 13 but I m not that thrilled over it’s physical design and features(yes I know champagne problems) but I’ve never had a xiaomi phone before and I’m excited for either but couple things are important :
Camera front and back : whichever is superior to oneplus 13
Battery :as mentioned I m spoiled by the oneplus 13 battery so if either is close to but not severely worse than.but i have heard contrasting and contradicting about both phones and on both reddits
CN rom vs Global rom: is it worth the hassle of setting up a china rom phone with google apps and such during a possible trade war lmao ? Will Google wallet tap to pay/maps/android auto/google now-gemini and etc tested and working? Should I just stick to global models ? I don’t have a traditional computer to flash global roms so I’m a smidge hesitant . While I have used unlocked
You can turn off all ads, if there are any. It’s usually sometimes for suggestions in system apps like Themes or Music. You can easily disable them and be ad free. At least on the global model. Can’t say for certain on the China ROM.
Does the China rom have ads or is that a myth?
The OnePlus would be the safest bet, because its battery life would not only be much stronger (sister has one) but the network band compatibility would be more complete.
The China ROM phones would be missing a lot of important North America bands so your data speeds and coverage would be okay in the city, but probably shite anywhere else. It’s almost always better to go with the global ROM in North America unless that the China ROM version of that particular phone has most of the bands .
