Xiaomi Mi 9T

Rock Paper Scissors

Lads for those of you that are worried about the bloatware on the Mi9t...... Just flash the phone with the ROM from Xiaomi.eu (if you want to keep MIUI) or pixel experience (for completely stock android)

This will remove the bloat

I'm running pixel experience on my Mi 8 and there is 0 bloat on the phone

When I first got it, it had all the bloatware on it

I have the mi9, stick nova launcher on it and that sorts the UI. There's a couple of preinstalled apps you can't get rid of unless you hook it up to a computer and use adb to remove them. I wasn't bothered to do that though.

Is there much pop up ads,also does the bloatware have much of a drain on the battery? I have never had a xiaomi so i,m not sure if the pop up ads are done away with

No ads, no battery drain that I can see either. Very impressed with the battery in the mi 9 and the 9t is even bigger.

Anyone any experience of buying from this store?

60$ cheaper than the honor buy but looks to be by post so would be longer and likely get stung for customs / tax

Loads of negative reviews and seems to ship also from Asia while stating otherwise.

Edit: Also the issue if something goes wrong and you need support in warranty.

I've ordered the 64GB model from HonourBuy. Came to €320 (including a flip leather case).

EDIT: Just got a text from DHL to say it will be delivered by close of play tomorrow.

How did you get the flipcase? Does it just automatically ship with the phone?

Add it to the cart, same as other sites.

No, it's extra. The phone comes with a soft plastic case though.

I got a phone from them last month for my father and it was delivered in less than 48 hours.
No customs as I chose a phone from an EU warehouse.

eglobal has the 128gb for 292.

no customs but wait 10 to 12 days usually

definitely not as good as amazon on returns but with modern QC stds very unlikely to have an issue.

Just setting up my 9T now. Took less than 24 hours to be delivered from HonourBuy. That's ridiculously fast!
Initial thoughts as the phone is still being setup;
It's nice and fast.
Feels great in the hand. Heavier than my "old" Nokia 7 Plus.
The full screen looks amazing. I've enabled gestures so the apps are completely full screen.

I'm going to try Miui for now but I plan to use Nova launcher to get the stock feel.
In time I'll unlock the bootloader and try some ROMS assuming I can still use NFC.

Just be aware that this delivery will likely cost about 30 quid.
It is insanely fast though.
