    What challenges do we face buying these phones from overseas in terms of compatibility with networks or charging etc?

      5G: n1/n3/n5/n7/n8/n20/n28/n38/n40/n41/n66/n77/n78
      4G: LTE FDD: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/13/17/18/19/20/26/28/32/66
      4G: LTE TDD: B38/40/41/42

      4G/5G bands we use in Australia are highlighted in bold, so currently all 4G and 5G bands we use are supported by this phone.

      In regards to charging the HyperCharger included with this is going to be very likely a US plug so you'll need an adapter.

        This listing states that there is an EU plug in the box. Xiaomi usually includes EU plugs with generic global models

        • adrianhughes1998 on 24/09/2021 - 06:52

          True hopefully it is global model. Got my F3 months ago and it's on EU firmware not global :(

          • noren7 on 24/09/2021 - 16:45

            @adrianhughes1998: I think the EU firmware is considered global - I didn't know that they had an EU-specific version, what's different? Because otherwise you have the Chinese model without Google apps

            • adrianhughes1998 on 24/09/2021 - 17:36

              @noren7: They are different. There's an Indonesian version as well.

              They are all different build numbers so it's true.

      On Telstra - almost certainly no VoLTE or VoWiFi, and unknown functionality on 5G.

      If you can't make calls on 4G (aka Voice over LTE) or 5G, in 2 years it's no longer a phone :)

      • bobz79 on 23/09/2021 - 20:54

        This is very true, you will struggle patching and hacking firmware as phones not sold in Australia doesn't support VoLTE or VoWiFi with any of the carriers here

        Telstra will be switching off 3G in 2024. After switch off you will still be able to access the Telstra Mobile Network provided your handset is 4G voice enabled and 4G 700MHz compatible.
        https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/news-feed/goodbye-3g/…

        Change to newer devices if you have a 3G only device, or a 4G device that doesn’t have Voice over LTE (VoLTE) capability. Many Chinese phones not officially sold in Australia doesn't support VoLTE/VoWiFi by default on Australian Carriers, eg: OnePlus, Xiaomi, Redmi etc

                    Before that I had a OnePlus One for 4 years too.
                    Samsung Galaxy S2 before that lasted ages as well.

                    Certainly averaging more than 3 years with each phone. Probably closer to 4.

        • Richocho on 24/09/2021 - 12:27

          VoLTE and VoWifi work fine on Telstra if you are using an older version of MIUI based on Android 10. You just have to enter a code in the dialer to bypass the carrier check.

          It does not work at all on any MIUI based on Android 11 (12.1+)

          • Salty Pretzel on 24/09/2021 - 12:51

            @Richocho: I have a xiaomi mi10 Pro, still running on android 10, miui version 11.0.4.

            I've been getting notifications to update to miui 12.0.5.0. If I update to this, will I lose VOLTE?

            • Richocho on 24/09/2021 - 12:54

              @Salty Pretzel: No, 12.0.x is still based on Android 10 so you will be fine.

              12.1.x and above is based on Android 11, which would break VoLTE and VoWifi

            @Richocho: I recently upgraded from MIUI 12.0.x to 12.1.4 on a Xiaomi Mi 9T, and lost VoLTE (and by extension VoWifi since it needs VoLTE to work).
            Is there any way to get it back /anything I can do? Or I just have to wait for Telstra /Xiaomi to fix it?
            Also is there any discussion of this online?
            Update: just found this : https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/3rppj4r3 ; summary: it's a firmware issue, xiaomi stuffed up something with a partition in Android 11, redoing the dialler codes to enable VoLTE does nothing, same problem happens in the custom Android 11 roms (which presumably are based on MIUI) like xiaomi.eu, and the fix is for Xiaomi to fix it. For some reason it only shows up on Telstra / Boost though, Vodafone & Optus are okay, probably Telstra are doing stricter checking of a field and Android 11 MIUI is sending the wrong thing, whereas Android 10 MIUI sent the right thing.

          • willyroo on 28/09/2021 - 12:32

            @Richocho: Mi 9T Pro with Miui 12.5.2.0 / Android 11

            Can confirm VoLTE and VoWiFi on Boost (ie Telstra)

            • Richocho on 28/09/2021 - 14:16

              @willyroo: That's promising. What did you need to do to get it working?

                @Richocho: Nothing I can pin down. Did a factory reset not too long before accepting the first Miui 12 update, still working after the recent security update. You have to run the carrier check codes each time you do a factory reset. The 9T should work with Telstra as it was sold by JB HiFi for a short period. Mine is a grey import, global version 9T Pro and it's worked out of the box.

            as for Xiaomi phones, I follow these simple steps:

            1) buy Xiaomi phone that has a huge dev community, I am a dev myself on XDA.
            2) ask for the Bootloader unlocking
            3) place phone in the drawer for a week until you can unlock it.
            4) Make your own OS or Flash one of many OS's around,
            5) Make sure to not install Gapps (Google services) and use MicroG instead.

            Keep the phone as long as you can.

            OnePlus released an update that took away 5g for some reason. Worked just fine on Android 10, but 11 broke it. Support were less than useless.

            After a bit of searching there are some helpful tutorials out there for getting 5g back and volte and vowifi, but honestly it's just such a hassle.

            I've stopped doing updates because each one breaks the 5g support and I have to spend 30 minutes to an hour getting it back.

      Black Shark 5 was leaked last month, also has similar specs with a 888+.
      Should be out by Christmas in Australia and based on the 4, under 1200.

        Would totally jump that for the 7.1", finally a phone that could replace my mate 20x.

        Too bad the cameras are pretty meh on gaming phones…and I just ordered an s21U

    Might be worth a read if you’re considering. Might not worry you, but better to be informed.

      First paragraph. A nice 10 minute review linked.

      I'd say mi11 ultra for the cameras. But the s21 ultra is on sale atm for under a grand. Mi11 ultra has killer camera specs on paper, but software is inconsistent.
