where did you buy your mi max 2? - Xiaomi Mi Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hi!
Im just wondering where you bought your mi max 2 and from what store?
I can figure that most of you bought it through Aliexpress? Was it goldway or "xiaomi store"?

Geekbuying.

Geekbuying, as well. With a discount.

Alright. Thanks for your answers! . What kind of rom did you get on your phone? "shop rom", chinese without play store or real global with OTA support?

I purchased mine from gearbest. I got the Global rom with 64 GB. It should be here tomorrow. The global rom versions of this phone should come with the google play store pre-installed.

I used xiaomidevice.com. Shipped using DHL 2 days ago, and is currently in the process of clearing customs!

Nextbuying global rom...3 days dhl delivery...

Mine had a global rom out of the box and I've updated it with a ota right away. Then unlocked the bootloader and rooted!

I got mine yesterday and updated with the OTA as well. Just curious, what guide did you use to root with? I actually like the UI so just want root and custom recovery. Not interested in flashing any roms.

From the official Xiaomi store in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong.

From mi.com/in India's official Xiaomi website.Bought within 30 secs of commencement of the flash sale. The sale started at 10.00 am and within 45 secs it went out of stock. lucky me.

Buy from my local store , with global rom and bootloader already unlocked. Then I flash manual (becoz unable to OTA update - maybe fake global rom) with official rom from miui.com stable 8.5.4.0
Then root it and install many apk that need root access

Got one gold from bestgear had it 6 days later. Got 2nd one black from AliExpress. And took 4 weeks

Amazon? u sure? never seen it there.

I've gotten 2 (for me & my wife) both from geek buying, DHL shipment. Both took about 6 days total. Anyone find a good case & screen protector?

My husband bought my phone on ebay from a seller in Taiwan. It was shipped on 8/21/2017 and arrived 8/23/2017 via DHL. Had to sign for delivery and it arrived brand new in shrink-wrapped box.

Hi,
I purchased mine from Gearbest,com. Ordered on Monday and delivered on Tuesday to my surprise.
I also bought mine from Gearbest. Mine took 7 days and cost £108. the box was open and a load of sh*te had been installed. At least it came rooted so could flash twrp recovery with flashify.
I purchased 3 from gearbest 2 came rooted 1 didn't, they didn't come with too much crap but still had to remove some stuff.
I bought from AliExpress, seller Hong Kong Goldway. Cheap and fast, less than a week, delivery to Europe.
Got teana version from aliexpress, with multi language. 180 usd with express shipping
Ordered from gearbest 9 days ago, despatched after 5. Could still be another 3 weeks getting here (UK). £107 Inc 3 for insurance.

Phone got delivered today, 13 days after order.
Bought mine from: http://www.to2c.com/lenovo-k3-note-2g-ram-16g-rom.html
I bought it at about $175.98 USD
Bought it via amazon.de, via il-astore.eu or something like that, they had a good price vs. all others 'positive feedback' etc.
It was about 180 Euros, with shipping+VAT.
The only lack I see about it is - and I'm having this funny conversation from someone from the store is that I asked their return policy
cuz they sent me the yellow lemon version, I wanted simple white. Would prefer black but what can you do.
Cheers!
Is there a topic: Why did you buy a Lenovo K3 Note? I think it should exist if it doesn't.
Cheers&allthebest,
N.
Got mine from a local store, it was 185euro(few months ago) + tempered glass and earbuds.
They rooted it for me and agree to update it when the least rooms comes out, and gave me 2 years warranty.

Did it come with Ice Cream Sandwich? No pun attended...

Got mine from Gearbest (EUR warehouse). The package had been opened and the Lenovo seal torn. There were fingerprints on it and it came with adware/malware. The usual. Gearbest also failed to comply to my request of including the proper power adapter for my country, but that's minor. Cost 151€ (which would have been 145€, if my Paypal conversion rate had been set up correctly), plus 10€ shipping to my target country. Shipped using a proxy delivery service, similar to Borderlinx. Great value for price so far. Especially with the Nexus 8 ROM.

I bought mine at Tinydeal.com. They offer priority shipping within 3-5 days for a couple of bucks more. My phone arrived via free standard shipping after 2 weeks for € 134. The package was delivered by PostNL, they declared it to be a MP3-player with a value of € 35 (I didn't ask them to do that) so I had not to pay any additional taxes.
Very pleasant online shopping experience, I recommend Tinydeal (except from the tax fraud).
I asked them for a German version of Android (nevertheless it came in Spanish) and a European power plug, which they added. Software was VibeUI 2.5, very slow, not rooted with unremovable spyware and annoying ads. I installed Nexus ROM. Speed increased from Antutu 22.000 to 46.000. I'm in love with that phone!
Bought mine from vickmall for 140 euros.
Trusted site, i have already buy ~11 phones and only one had issues with capacitive buttons backlight
Bought 2 phones, both via gearbest..one is now having the limonchello rom and the other one is on the nexus rom.
Price was around 150 - 160 USD I believe, shipping to The Netherlands.
Both came with chinese crapp on it, 1 case also had the seal broken.

It came with Android 5.0, they also promised to update it with the newest roms

availability - when and where

so far i've seen it being sold in a fishy uk online store, which i'd rather not buy from, and romanian and polish stores, which i don't have access to.
chinese online stores shipment takes ages so i'd rather skip those too.
how is it possible to be notified about it becoming available (actually in stock) in new stores in the uk and in around europe? is it predicted to happen soon or it might take a while?
I suggest that you wait for amazon.it , amazon.es. If you have friends in France they can buy it in eLeclerc on 27.8.
I bought mine on gearbest yesterday. Shipping isn't bad for me in the US, I paid 5 extra dollars for 7-10 day shipping. And I got a free $40 mi band 3 which is a good deal.

Is that more trustworthy than Gearbest? They still haven't shipped mine :crying:
It's supposed to be restocked on the 31st, 1-2 days to start shipping, and then 7-10 days to actually ship. It's a pain.
thanks all

Would you be so kind as to notify us as soon as it arrives? I believe all of the websites are "preselling" it, but I may be wrong. Also could you tell me how the connectivity is for your mobile network? Thanks mate

Yeah I live chatted gear best, they actually get their stock on the 31st. And it'll take 1-2 days to process, and then 7-10 days to ship. They offered me a refund or an exchange instead but I said I'd just wait. So it'll probably be another week until I get it. But as soon as I do I'll post.

USA. So far, it's pretty good, but basically a Mi A1 with a better camera and 18:9 screen.
I have it since yesterday. Love it, I get a nexus feeling with stock android an such good overall speed.
i ordered one waiting for shipment , I read many negative reviews so kinda ruined my excitement for it =( How is the battery. I ordered the 6gb version, do you thinks it's worth over the 4GB?

Anyone received their Pre-ordered ones ? or via 3rd party reseller for the EU Version

The title is self explanatory : please drop a few lines to keep track on the delivery of your new Realme X2 Pro (EU version) !

Bought via realme website the 10th november, but still not shipped

ordered from Amazon.es on the 5th, my order still says "delivery between 12th and 15th" (I took the Express Global) ... which i'm doubting more and more.
Well, i guess i just need to wait
Let's see... But Amazon is getting worse and worse in terms of delivery and scheduling.
Ordered mine on Nov 8 via Realme website. Still waiting to be shipped. Although my order says: "Your order will be shipped before realme X2 Pro Official First Sale, estimately on Nov 11".
Well... Nov 11 was yesterday...
Just arrived, setting it up now

Are there any un-removable bloatware ? Google Assistant presence (instead of Breeno in the Chinese version), changing the default launcher possible ? Thanks !

Français ici aussi !! Bought also mine from official eu website this morning, not shipped yet, can't wait but I hope I'll get DHL also, it reassures me to know that they deal with DHL, always better than the crappy Amazon delivery where I got my last phone, the Oneplus 6t, stolen by the delivery man.
Plus qu'à attendre patiemment maintenant !! Waiting game now !
Last thing I hope now is if we can install alternate launcher easely. :good:

Launcher, but mostly good devs joining and cooking nice AOSP Roms..
I had Xiaomi mi9, for only 3 months, and I sold it, very unhappy with dev community, and mostly this terrible MIUI...
I hope things will get better on Realme X2 pro. OxygenOs port would be awesome, or maybe even better.. some pixel experience ROM on this device

I dont know about Giztop but I ordered from Tradingshenzen this Mi 11 Ultra and last year K30 Pro Zoom and everything was perfect, shipping was faster than Aliexpress and they test the phone before they ship it, also you get a discount code for next buys. 10/10 for me.

I just received my phone from Giztop, 256GB Ceramic Black China ROM. I selected express shipping and got it in around 7 days. It came via DHL from HK shipped to my house in US. I selected the 67W charger which came in the box as well. I had no issues and can recommend them.

Ordered from tradingshenzen. Took few days to get it delivered from China to Switzerland. Customs was included. Can't complain at all.
Where to buy the Mi 11 Ultra?
Currently, there's no official way to get the Mi 11 Ultra. As soon as credible stores have the phone, I will list it here.
