    Anyone having any problems with the fingerprint reader on this?
    My sister got one a few weeks ago and it stopped working this morning.

    Went into Settings -> About Device -> tapped Kernel Version until the test screen came up, and clicked Fingerprint sensor, and it said "Fail or no FP".

    I've been using it for a few days - very nice phone overall but don't find the fingerprint reader great, and the speaker volume on calls could maybe be a bit louder.

    For anyone wondering about a case - the one you get in the box is actually quite nice and low profile. I also ordered one linked earlier in this thread (with a magnet on the back) but found it added a bit too much bulk

    Would the case that comes with it protect it from a fall do you reckon? And does it come with a screen protector? Thanks.

    4days later and it still hasn't been dispatched from eglobal. Ughhh.

    The case it comes with would stop the back getting scratched and gives the camera a bit of buffer so its not in direct contact with any surface. It wouldnt protect from fall

    I bought a screen protector but never put it on as i read it affects the fingerprint auth

    Mi 9 I have rather than 9T but screen protector has never caused issues with the finger print censor on mine.

    These were the ones I ordered: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07NVPPJH5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    to be honest with eglobal you wait longer but it's cheaper so that's why you picked it.

    in my experience all my items (5 or 6 orders) have arrived within 10 days even tho sometimes it took 5 or 6 days to get a dispatch notice.

    Absolutely. I ordered 2 from honorbuy in the past and both arrived within 3 days.
    In this case price difference was €50 between eglobal and honorbuy. Assuming it eventually arrives I'll be happy to wait for eglobal!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,561 ✭✭✭rickyjb


    A question for anyone who bought a Mi 9T pro from eglobal - would you mind checking the firmware version? I've read that some phones still have fake chinese firmware. I had this issue with my current phone, a Mi 5, and had to install Cyanogen to get rid of it. Loads of bloatware and ads popping up etc.


    If someone could take a screenshot that would be great.


    Also are we certain that the eglobal phones are not K20 pros? They mention this in the description and are also offering a 8gb model which doesn't exist for 9T pros as far as I understand. If they are they could be missing Irish mobile bands and that would be an issue for reception and speeds.


    Thanks!

    Just to give my eglobal experience.

    Ordered on 12th of September for 128GB 9T Pro.

    It was out of stock when I enquired after a week or so of no movement. So just decided to wait as the price was great.

    Shipped this week from EGlobal and WND passed to An Post and shows up on An Post tracker now. I'll have it Monday hopefully.

    Eglobal refunded the price difference from when I ordered to when it shipped ( the same sku number) when I asked. It was only around €10 in the difference

    I thought that was just with dpd. As they never seem to stop for customs, but on post defo stop for customs

    With Eglobal, the item is posted from a location inside the EU.

    hence no customs, no matter who is doing the delivery; An Post, DPD, DHL etc

    it's not like gearbest etc.

    If you make sure that it states 'Global version' you won't have an issue..

    Also some of the Mi 9t's where there is only a slight difference in price might have extras like screen protector and case

    Not yet, ordered Monday morning, got the an post tracking number on Thursday but no update on delivery yet 4-5 working days so far... I'm guessing early next week. Will let you know when it arrives.

    It definitely exists, Hong Kong only. Search Frankie tech on YouTube. He has the 9T pro 8GB, 256GB.

    I'll confirm fw when my 6GB/128GB arrives!

    I got the dispatched order message 5 days ago, it has an anpost tracking number, no results. I'm guessing it'll show up when it arrives in the UK/Ireland. It's been faster on my previous orders with eglobal..

    Nice, but I'd rather save the 65euro for a two week wait!

    Would it matter if its actually a K20 Pro? It's hard to tell on their site...this is the one i'm looking at: https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-6gb-128gb-dual-sim-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-black-1.html

    It's definitely a 9T, another confusing title from eglobal! think they put it in brackets in case people are searching for a K20 pro.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,561 ✭✭✭rickyjb


    Bought the 8 gb 9T pro on Tuesday from eglobal. I don't change phones very often (3-4 years) so the extra RAM should future proof it a bit. Still very good value in comparison to the traditional flagship models.


    Has anyone received an order from eglobal yet and how long did it take?

    I'd assume 10 business days and don't be expecting it earlier than that!

    Pulled the bullet on the Flame Red Mi 9t 6GB/128GB on monday on eglobal. Radio silence since then. The odd part is that when you do a search for that particular model or the product code it ain't showing up :/


    Comparing to May of last year they seem to have slowed down hugely . Ordered on a Friday night, got the "Dispatching soon" email on the Monday morning, and the "shipment created" email on the Tuesday morning.
