Hi there, just want to get this, I'm from USA. I saw this on sites like: Sunsky (great price I guess), Gearbest (so expensive), Geekbuying (expensive I think)...
Any of these are safe? Recommended or not? What do you think and how about taxes? Any other option to consider?
For the US, goods valued under 800 are not subjected to import tax, whereas it's different in Europe. An invoice with a $ worth is normally attached to the outside of packages. US Customs will investigate items that clearly exceed their shown value (ex. $200 for $3000 jewelry).
But I would hold off on importing. The variant that's available is missing the major LTE bands for US carriers.

if the device is coming to Mexico and Colombia, then it should have band 2 and 4.

No idea why everybody is talking about that it is locked? The Pocophone was inteded for the european and indian market and that is why these bands are unlocked out of the box. There is no US version or something so that is why probably these bands are locked. If you want a US version I would wait for Xiaomi to bring out the official one
I would liketo buy the Amoured Edition. But its not available in the EU. Someone has information about the release date? Or is it already available in india or somewhere else?
Would be nice to get some news about it.
Thx.
Was not available for sale in India Yesterday, bought the 128 GB instead.Also bought a carbon fibre Skin to go with it.

Why Xiaomi Poco F1 Armoured Edition Didn't launch on Mi Site & Flipkart ?
Why Xiaomi Poco F1 Armoured Edition Didn't launch on Mi Site & Flipkart ?? I wanted
to buy it but I observed there were no 8GB 256GB ROM version on both the sites.
Recently I found 8GB 256GB ROM version on FLipkart in Coming Soon. But there is no
Xiaomi Poco F1 Armoured Edition.
Pls clarify.
Are there any news about the release of the armoured version?
Would be nice to get some information about a possible import for Europe

Armoured edition of Poco F1 launching today in Flash Sale in India. But you need to check whether Frequency band will work in Your country or not. I guess Mi's County version mobiles have different frequency band for that country.

Just picked up one Poco F1 8 gb Ram,256 gb int. Kavlar version from Mi.in, it was released on 5th Sept.,2018 at 12:00:00 IST.
Picked it by using flash sale grab trick within one second of sale starting.After 1 second,sale was ended.
Hearty thanks to coders of Flash sale hacking geniuses.
Regards.
Hey guys!
Massively interested in this phone. My HTC U11 broke just recently. The back and front smashed and my insurance company said they couldn't fix it so sent me the cash. That's when I did some research and heard about the Pocophone F1 which looks amazing! The only thing is it isn't easy not having a phone when I need to work....
Is there any chance a release date for Europe or the UK in particular will be announced soon? Any rumours flying about? I'm really trying hard to hold out for this phone!
Available in the UK from Appliances Direct.

I'm talking official release but thanks.
It is the Global Version with a UK charger!
It is here also released in the Netherlands, only webshops.
U get Dutch warranty, so I think when u buy it from a UK store u get UK warranty.
Since there are no Mi stores

Thanks for the info BassBounce. That's good to know. The only issue I have with buying from one of these sites is whether they are putting a mark up on the price of the phone? I wonder if when it is officially released will it be cheaper than on these sites? Also, I can't seem to find the Armoured version of the Poco F1 anywhere to buy in the UK. I'd really like the Armoured version since I seem to be pretty unlucky when it comes to braking phones....

That's good to know thank you. It may be a good option although I'd rather buy the Armoured edition which they don't stock.

Do they give you a UK warranty or do you have to send it abroad?

Its a UK seller so yeah ur getting a warranty here, ur covered by the seller for 12 months, and even if u get the phone from like Netherlands u still covered by EU warranty, keep in mind the phone is only like 250 quid.. its not a 1000 quid phone, or trying lookin at alternatives like second hand pixel 2 xl for around 300-350
Apparently the one from Appliances Direct doesn't have a charger with it at all!
This is really a shame. No root no custom rom for a top-class phone
Will be trying my luck to get one through flipkart flash sales this week. Else I will settle for Poco X3.
I couldn't resist the flipkart deal. I have always rooted my devices the very next day of buying. Xiaomi Mi3 > Nexuz 6P > Samsung S7> Oneplus 3 > Poco F1.
Probably first time gonna get a flagship phone with no custom rom support :/
Hope this can be rooted and I can flash gsi. Can someone confirm, if this is possible?

No you can't do anything as you can't unlock the bootloader

If I understand currently, the European version's bootloader can be unlocked.
That's the one that's sold in India I think, basis the serial number.
Is this not the case ?

Hello same here. A flashoholic. But tempted to buy for the price on Flipkart during sales. Hope phone is sold in large numbers and bootloader unlock is made possible. Fingers crossed.

No. Only EU variants are unlockable, the ones in India are different

Have you tried ? I mean it should be unlockable since model number is same. US ones have a different model number anyway.
I read somewhere that EU rom can be flashed on Indian varient and the bootloader can be unlocked.

No I couldn't get the phone
In my pin code phone went out of stock within 2-3 seconds
I managed to order LGg8x from flipkart. I have to use like an iphone then.
Me too. I booked it as an upgrade for my poco F1. Poco is still running as good as day one but I just couldn't resist the deal and bought g8x.
The only concern i have about the phone is the developer community support.
Poco has such good developer support, and for g8x it's quite the opposite. Hope that enough units were sold in this sale to spark some community support.
I too ordered bcoz of the good specification ,I'm from 1+6t it has a huge threads and forums ,I rooted my 1+6t the day when the phone delivered, even 1+ support warranty after bootloader unlock but lg not

My poco f1 was good, but had battery bulge. sold it and got this. i will miss custom ROMs for sure. but irresistible offer
I too bought one from Flipkart. Hope we get community support. Even if we get support for GSI installation, its good.
Is the LM-G850UM out of luck for root? Are any developments being made. I'm considering getting a new phone because not having root is really bothering me. This phone is wonderful but no root is quite the deal breaker..
During the sale 2 models are sold in india, lucky few got the ones manufactured in india which had access to fastboot and most of the others got the phones which are manufactured in vietnam, and these dont even have access ro fastboot menu, sadly i got the vietnam one, also for people who have access to fastboot mode, lg isnt providing the key to unlock the bootloader, so possibly no root or custom rom development for this device, i hope lg will open these devices once their software release cycle is completed that is after andoid 11.
I have previously used k20 pro, and on the first day i removed miui and installed PA its just too good.
My lg g8x has issues with keyboard,closes while typing so installed google keyboard, also installed expanded view, which uses both screens as one during browsing, amd had some other issues such as random shurdowns, dont know why thats happening...

Does LG has a community/Forum for its users? I am unable to find any
So how is it with this phone?
Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on LG G8X ThinQ Dual SIM EU Version?
Have any of you done this?
There is only G8s at https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev.
G8X is not listed.
Possible to buy this phone to Europe yet?

Hello yes, in Spain you can already buy, will there be development? xiaomi eu custom aosp?
I tried to buy the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5g from Yaphone dot com on 4th April 2021. They cancelled my order and did not refund the full amount. I am still waiting for my bank to help. Terrible service from Yaphone. Avoid. Only pay on a website with paypal.

Hey,
Thanks!
392€ I hope that this price is ok.
I bought mine directly from OnePlus US site and had the phone sent to my US address to be forwarded to my Country's local mailbox I managed to receive the phone but keep in mind that you may have an issue with 5G signal and you may have to mess around with the policyman carrier config in order to get the phone to pick your country's 5G signal at least that what happened to me.

they do not sell any smartphones lol
I emailed and sent messages to website many times to Portugal vendor Tek4life mentioned here - ZERO response lol no one bothers (even sent Portugese translation so was respectful of language difference). Cannot find it anywhere else in European sites. (found it in 2 other sites in Portugal but they only ship mainland)

Nice! I will get the 4G-versionen today. If it feels good I may buy the 5G-verison later.
Looking to buy it from New Zealand, but it's not available here yet.
I've been looking at AliExpress daily, it's still not there.
Any other safe options? Shipping with Belsimpel will be too expensive.
Was able to preorder for 30.04 on amazon.de today
ordered mine on tuesday and received yesterday (cdiscount.com) in France
