    Wish I had seen this sooner. That's a cracking price from an eu warehouse. Showing out of stock now, was it in stock when you checked and did you order it from them?

    I did. Had the Pro ordered from Amazon but could justify the price differential with knowing there will be no additional VAT. Its If GB works out there won't be much in the difference.

    I was a bit sketchy when they asked for ID and a picture of the card as the billing info did not pass(was definatly not going to send it) . My issue though, updated my address on Revolut and they ran it again and it was fine.

    I've not bought from them, but some of the reviewers on Youtube seem to rate them as OK, I think MKBD and a few more of them got early CN versions of the Mi 10 from them.

    Dual SIM is a requirement for me, and the only Dual SIM from there is the CN version which doesn't have Band 20 for 4g.

    I'm in the same boat as you , at that price it looks great accept lack of dual sim :(

    I'm looking into alternatives at the moment around that price point.

    Their cameras never have been great .

    I'm veering towards a Samsung S20 at this stage

    This seems a good price for a plus (€699)

    That link seems to be broken?
    Never really liked samsung. I'd be on the P40 like a rash except for Google. I'm looking for a premium chipset, 5G, Dual sim, has GMS so i can use Google Pay and has Band 20. Camera isn't a priority for me, so Oneplus may do. I don't like the camera hump in the middle of the back though, but I may have to compromise on this bit.

    Amazon Spain have it at the minute with 100 eurp off so 722 with postage and no need to worry about duty/vat. Also includes free wireless headphones and mi band (albeit mi band 3)
    I would assume Amazon UK will have it soon too

    It said not long after Europe so assume this month. Most places seem to be having stock from 22 April.
    These have them in stock at the minute and seem reliable from trustpilot reviews but never used them personally. https://www.powerplanetonline.com/xiaomi-mi-10-8gb-128gb

    Remarkably similar,specs wise Mi 10 slightly trump's it on camera/battery,has infared but is also slightly heavier. Not a lot in it so will come down to preference in OS/brand. OP8 RRP also cheaper but not a lot in it with Mi 10 being on sale.

    Anyone got there hands on the Mi 10 yet?

    Agreed, posted this last week alright when I saw it as cracking deal. Makes the gearbest etc deals look poor in comparison when you add the vat,customs etc. I had originally ordered through gearbest but they pushed dates back several times and had worked out it would cost 844 with added duty so cancelled it. Also the earphones you get with this deal after their latest if I read it right and cost 60-80 work on their own too. Just hope they release it in the day they gave advertised or sooner. Anybody here ever preorder off Amazon Spain and what were their delivery times like?

    Good luck with that, the more I look at it the more I like it as a phone. Much better looking than the OnePlus 8/8 plus.

    Yeah, they're also advertising it as Dual SIM, I've queried this with them by email, but as usual, I would have been just as quick if I sent them a query by Post.
    I'm thinking its just a Typo, they also don't mention that it's 5G or which 5G bands it supports.

    It says in stock on their website. Or was it the pro you ordered as that is out of stock?

    It's a non pro version. Sent them an email yesterday and they got back saying they are looking into it. Yeah, they seem to be in stock on the website strangely. Will update if it gets sent out.

    They have a habit of doing that,surely the likes of Amazon should always go through.

    Impressed with the phone so far,the speed difference from my Mi Mix 2s is unreal. Not the slimmest or lightest phone but screen is massive. Camera quality pretty good too from the few snaps I've taken.

    Confirmed it's single SIM but no issue for me there. The cover included is very good quality but need a screen protector badly.have a Milken cover and screen protector on order. Let's hope the screen lasts til then.

    I'd imagine there will be a workaround for this. Probably flashing another rom and using changing the SIM tray to dual tray but not really worth the hassle when there is alternatives out there. The forum on XDA are looking at this

    They probably get more from the networks with the single SIM option.

    That would be too much of a headache for me . The Mi 10 was top of my wish list . If it had dual sim , I was pulling the trigger.

    Just have to look at the alternatives now.

    I am looking at the following (in order of current preference)

    Samsung S10
    P30 pro
    Mi Note 10
    One plus 7t


    Not a huge difference in price except Mi Note 10 is far cheaper

    Great! I don't know really. May be because I sent an email asking about the status as it said waiting for stock even though they were in stock. It looks like I am getting it tomorrow. The tracking says Departure Scan and has scheduled delivery as Friday, 24th. :D

    Received it around an hour ago.

    Came in a big box with phone, earphones and band.

    Everything looks fine. The glossy back looks better in person. No screen protector though.

    The phone felt a bit warm coming from pixel 2 XL when gaming. Camera and screen are great.

    Nice, that's good considering never found muiu to be good in battery usage constipated to custom time but that battery usage sounds great considering that.
