Where to buy Xiaomi Mi Lite?

R11

Been doing some research and getting good advice from posters here and I've decided to try get the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite. Saw it for €245 on amazon.es https://www.amazon.es/Xiaomi-Mi-Lite-Smartphone-Pantalla/dp/B07YD2D6P9/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_es_ES=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=mi+9+lite&qid=1582448466&sr=8-1 but then discovered its the Spanish version....would that work here?I'm guessing not. I also was going to try pay it in 4 installments, they offer that on their site but not sure if non-Spanish residents can avail of that?
I like the Onyx Grey colour so where is best place to buy it?6/64gb does me fine as I have SD card. I may have to go with the blue to get it for a cheaper price. Thanks in advance.

If you can wait ~10 days for delivery, I'd use https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/

I've bought 5 phones and various tech from there and no problems. Not to say others haven't, I have read some posts of issues but think they were down to the long delivery times or popular items being out of stock.

Its €230 for the blue one there,thanks.
Would the one listed above on amazon.es work here in Ireland?Or is there a way of loading on the Irish/Uk version?

The phone from Amazon ES will work fine here, you'll be able to select English as the language when you start the phone.

The charger will be the 2 prong one, which you can either use here or get a new USB plug.

OK,great stuff. I have a usb charger so I presume cable will just slot into that?
Also does anyone know if I can avail pay in 4 installments as listed on amazon.es site? Or is that only Spanish residents?

Update-can't pay in 4 installments,seems its only open to Spanish residents. Good idea though! Bought the Mi 9 Lite on amazon.fr,was cheapest I could find for the Onyx Grey-€248.99 in total,arriving Wednesday. Its €230 on eglobal but prefer to pay the extra as amazon deliver quicker and their customer service is excellent.

Mr SPDs posts have gone. Wonder if he deleted his account of the mods gave his marching orders

Was looking on that site eglobalcentral.eu , what bothers me is that there is no mention of where the stock is. A €400 phone coming from outside of EU would get a nice whack of vat etc.

Just go with amazon France, Spain or Italy. Guaranteed no vat. The price difference, if any, will be tiny. You'll get delivery in 2 days and their customer service is superb if anything goes wrong.
