Where to get the Xiaomi Mi 8 (& Explorer Edition) (a.k.a. shops'n'prices) - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Mod Edit: Content Removed. Referral links are not allowed on xda. Google the device to find where to buy it! Thread closed.

Great post, I'll be following. I'm interested in the Explorer Edition, but not sure if we;ll be able to get it in the UK.

What does the hardcoded region mean? What happens after flashing a global rom or say project treble?

AT&T LTE support??

Source that it'll be available via Amazon Germany? Sounds pretty unlikely.

600x black, 600x white and 600x blue now on Aliexpress for 475€ + shipping from MIUI Global Store.

Mix 2S has the same thing and CN-model owners have had lots of trouble flashing Global ROM and having it work properly. Supposedly (according to user on MIUI forum) Xiaomi no longer wants users to flash global ROM on Chinese device.

I was thinking about ordered direct from taobao and reshipping to the UK to save money on the explorer. I'm glad you've mentioned this I'll wait to here if the issue is the same with the mi 8

Hello guys, i am interested too in a mi 8 or 8 SE so if you are kind and tag me or something when you find a good offer for them. I want it too with DHL no customs, goldway.
Anyway, when will de global launch?

Let's wait Mi8 to come and then the price will be slightly reduced from day to day!
Keep patient, as for shops Gearbest and Bangood make the difference to me.

Where to buy the Mi5 to europe/norway? wait for international version/rom?

Hi, I really want this phone. but have been waiting a little bit to see if there will be an Mi5 with international rom released.
where dif you guys buy your Mi5? All i seem to find are out of stock. want the black one..
even in china i only found white 32/64 version no other colors and no 128 version so i ended up buying 64 version white. Maybe you should wait more to get the 128 version or other colors .
in miui forum someone said that there is no international release for mi5, but there is international rom they released it then they pulled it because of bugs so it will return after they fix it
You have to by through re sellers. I bought mine at Flosmall. Shipped to Norway without any custom duty. Kimovil.com will give you the best price.

There is almost $100 difference in price between white and black. Why?
I ended up getting mine at gizchina. The price @honorbuy was the same.
Buy have a stock in the EU & you don't end up paying too much tax in the shipping (got mine @ $35 tax+shipping).
That is, ~$485 all inclusive.
Are there any restrictions regarding no international rom yet?

Hi Killbox. I am also thinking about buying a Xiaomi Mi5. Do you recommend it? I live in Norway too. How did you manage to avoid the customs fee/tax? Thanks for your help
I'm in the UK and ordered it from Gizchina. It shipped the next day from Italy, so if you're in the EU, no customs charge. Norway, not so sure about.

Thanks for your reply but Norway is not part of EU just partly like Switzerland therefore there are other rules for the import unfortunately. That is why I asked killbox about it because he also lives in Norway.
This phone is not worth enough. Remember there are always a good reason to be cheap. Xiaomi selling MI5 with SD820 processor with the almost half price of Samsung or HTC or else. But I think MI5 is still not worth enough. This is what I learnt in my last one month uses. Mi5 also don't have B20 LTE connectivity. So in EU it will suck definitely. Better buy an another cheap phone than MI5 and trust me it will make you more happier!

I am using MI5 for a month and getting terrible battery performance. For example overnight battery consumption is 10% where phone is absolutely idol, mobile data off, wifi off, sync off. My overnight is 5 hours BTW. Another terrible issue is network drop randomly in the either SIM slots. These are issues are very much confusing. If issue with only the global ROM then China ROM should work fine. But I am getting exactly same problems in the both china stable and dev ROM. I expressed the same thing in the miui forum and lots of users agreed with me. However it's up to you whether you for it or not and these are absolutely my personal opinion from my experience.

I've read that some italian store ships in europe, around 440-500 € for 4gb ram 128gb storage white version

Do we have any info about release original 8/128 global edition?

As the title says, any info? About two+ weeks looking every single day on UK Asus, wanna buy this phone so much, but i am not interested to spend so much money for 12/512 version when i know i won't need that capacity anyway.
Everything I've read from Asus and other places say there is no official 8/128 global version.
And with no SD card slot, I wouldn't even consider that restrictive amount of storage.

Nah,, 128 is ok, I've got about 50GB of music (which is an OK smattering) plus apps, leaving about 40-50GB for photos etc. Enough for me anyway! I bit the bullet and bought the Tencent version and just changed to WW. Updated, kept root, no issues. Hi Giztop offer 1 year warranty for those that don't wanna root too
Oh, and I emailed them the order number asking them to price it down for customs.. They put value as 220 and I didn't have to pay any customs

I had 96GB combined, and using most of that already. I know will only go up over time.
As for the original question, it was asking about an official ("original") global version, which does not exist. I know the Tencent version can be converted, but that isn't suitable for everyone.
So basicaly we even don't know if there will be someday released global edition 8/128?

I've yet to see Asus even hint at such a possibility. At the UK announcement event, they mentioned the Elite (512/12 version), and the Ultimate (1TB/12 GB version) was coming later this year. If a 128/8 version was possible, I would've expected that announced as well and likely released the same time as the Elite version.
The original global 128 gb version is the one being sold on India. Same specs that the Tencent Version has, but no metal part on the back and global firmware installed.

I've ordered from trading Shenzhen and giztop before. Both are pretty fast. Tradingshezhen customer service sucks though, I asked if I would be able to return a phone if I left it brand new sealed in box and they told me I would have to pay $50 + return shipping + I think 20% restocking fee and I better like the phone. I would have understood if it was something like shipping + 10%, but what rubbed me wrong was how they told me that I better like the phone. I kid you not that's exactly how they said it to me lmao. Giztop was okay, their support was a lot more professional but they got some information wrong and they also took too long to ship out the phone I initially wanted. I eventually ended up cancelling the order and ordering a different phone from them. That one came pretty quickly at least. I used the GTRE4 code or something like that to get a discount as well. Both places have marked up prices compared to ali so you are paying a premium for faster shipping.
I've ordered my mi11 from aliexpress since it was the cheapest option, and only like $20 more for twice the storage. Plus most places didn't have the leather options that I wanted. Hopefully it ships out soon. I remember I ordered a poco f2 pro from aliexpress and it never shipped even after waiting over a month. I ended up cancelling the order and getting the ace2 from giztop.

Question CN/Global help (huawei user here)

Hi guys. Looking at finally retiring my trusty and rather awesome P20. Sadly cant go p40 etc due to banking app issues (barclays) andd im really keen on the mi 11 (any users who had both,feedbak be great too)
Obviously the UK date seems to be better guarded secret than the queens PIN code. And i can only find one source for a claimed "mi 11 global version" (buycheapphones) however the site looks sketchy,whois lookup is private and very limited feedback available online. So, my question is, being the impatient sod i am, apart from masses of bloat which id be removing or disabling anyway, would i face any issues with a CN variant (eg from wonda) in the uk vs global? i CANT unlock bootloader and reboot with xiaomi.eu for the same above reason, Barclays are a royal pain with bootloaders and root etc. So i just want out of the box will work with all GAPPS (not fussed on google pay as never used it,this seems to be an issue for some)
Im able to sideload if some apps are missing from playstore as long as they function properly.
Or am i going to be better off sitting bored waiting for the UK release and coughing up the extra dough?

Damn..... That simple. That sucks, especially with no idea when they could be available. Not trysting that site, under £650for a phone no one else seems to have is just fishy
For what it's worth. I bought mine 2 weeks ago from Giztop as I knew quite a few people who has done so and advised it was ok. . Paid for express shipping and it arrived within 7 days and no extra charges. I bought the special edition one
I've got all the GAPPs and google pay works netflix etc.
Safety net and google pay work both on original cn and eu roms.
I was just looking at giztop today and noticed they're offering the global version now for about 580. Was about to order and read at the bottom pre order but marked in stock so currently waiting for a response.
As I say, I'm not fussed on Google pay just full use without having to unlock/root and upset barclays app.
Just wondered if there are many drawbacks to the Chinese version eg future resell value, unwanted notifications or annoyances eg default apps, any features missing that global version has.
I know myself well, the bee was officially in my bonnet.
Giz replied saying in stock and will despatch from Europe warehouse so no import duty (we shall see) but pulled the trigger on a global spec one
Thankfully I'm use to Huawei so I'm prepared for settings fiddling to get things just right. Praying some power fiddling will get me some decent life out of it
Hopefully it's actually global mate! Would recommend doing further research into CN smartphones before buying one intended for the Mainland market. They can be tons of fun but worth knowing what you're getting into upfront.
Phones from the other side of the great firewall = No GApps, no safetynet, and your mileage may vary on whether there is a GMS stub in the filesystem that will allow the Play Store and Google services to work properly with system permissions. Your only options with a Xiaomi CN model are to unlock the bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu (which passes safetynet), or unlock the bootloader, install MIUI global/EEA, and use Magisk to hide root from your banking app. To be fair, both of those are debatably much easier than installing GMS on a P40.
The CN software is not really a good time for most global users. You can disable a variety of the preloaded apps and services, but there's a lot of bloat and many parts won't be relevant or translated. MIUI CN actually has more features than global. xiaomi.eu = CN software debloated and rebuilt with more languages and features for global use.
If it's actually a global Mi 11 you'll be good to go out of the box. It has just launched in HK this week so you may be in luck.

Only bought as they confirmed in writing its global and they're the second one to list it now so assume they are becoming available. I'm no stranger to rooting roms and general tinkering but quite happy just debloating and customising stock now to maintain functionality.
They also said it'll ship from EU not China and no import duty so if they keep to their word its cost me barely 600 so from what I can tell, at least £60+ saving.
Really fancied the 10 ultra but no band 20 put me off. Hadn't realised the proper pro was the same, the 10t models don't tickle me at all.
Hopefully it'll be here next few days and I an begin debloating, de-prc-ing and then get to using it

Still processing. It said mid March before I bought this is why I Contacted them but so far it's seeming more likely they were dishonest on the status of their stock aswell as country of origin. If I get the phone next week I'll be happy but still sour grapes. Even more so if I end up with £100 customs on top or it launches in UK before I get it haha
So as a little update to the giztop saga
Confirmed in stock first
Ordered 8th march
Multiple emails later finay got a tracking number 15th march.. .. Thats a whole week
Tracking number wasn't even working until friday 19th which finally showed the phone was in Netherlands "waiting to be forwarded" so we are looking at 3 weeks (15 working days) for an express delivery that was quoted as 5-8 days. And that's just at a guess. All to possibly save £200 IF or doesn't get spotted checked at customs, as it launches in UK tomorrow typical

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.

Thanks!
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.
