Noticed that the 13 has a tag but no posts under it so here are approximate RRP prices to refer to if/when these are on sale. Kogan is once again selling Xiaomi phones. All three have Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processors. All ship on or before 21st Aug. Some other notable presale models:
No Band28 though in the China models.
i mean u should able to recover the system to the Europe edition, but u need to root the device first and do some additional changes but to save around $400 is still a reasonable deal.
Changing the ROM doesn't enable more bands.
@KARMAAA: Ok i was thinking u are talking anythinh about not able to use google kind of things, i do surprise they do net support band28 which does make thia deal better
Absolutely terrible reception, based on my own experience. Global version is a must.
one issue, rooted china version cant use Google Wallet and Netflix. i got mine rooted from.aliexpress, have to return to seller after used few days
Any rooted phone can't use either, you need to know what you're getting into before buying it. Magisk isn't too hard to use with a little bit of research
du u mean buy china version then use Magisk can change it to global version and use Google wallet and Netflix?
Any benefit to buying pico F5 from kogan vs alibaba? Becides shipping time
This product comes with a 1 Year Xiaomi Warranty.
so returns to kogan?
yeah probably unless they have agreements with Xiaomi Australia Mi Store. It might also have 2 year coverage from the Minimum Voluntary Warranty Customer Charter. And Chinese dropshippers aren't going to care about ACL.
What does alibaba charge for shipping?
Can get 13 and 13 pro global versions cheaper at bestmobilephone. Got my 13 pro a few weeks ago, no issues except a 1 week delay in the black model.
Why wouldnt you just get the s23 ultra at this point smh
agreed
Samsung is up front with their malware.
Yep nfi
anyone know if xiaomi uses the stock google dialer or do they have their own custom app/skin? if so does it come with call recording?
I'm using the xiaomi.eu rom on my poco which I believe uses the Xiaomi dialler, and that has call recording.
Look I've owned xiaomi before and like them fine but I can't figure out why I'd pay $1900 for one…
not the point of the post…
I feel the same with the iPhone so…
me too but it of course has some unique appeal being not android
w its seemless integrated 'Sino Snooping' 🤒
Are these global version of the phone?
$1900 for xiaomi phone? i am lost. Where am I?
Poco X5 5G ($399) Vs Motorola Edge 30 Neo 5G ($299 JB offer)
What are your thoughts
Clicking on the F5 poco link and it says Snapdragon 7, and not 8 as per the title. Also this is cheaper than the presale. Anyone knows if there’s any difference between the two? Both are 12GB ram

The one in the post is sold by Kogan themselves but the one you have found is from a 3rd party seller, with most of them being dropshippers from China.
Kogan one also has 1 year warranty and should be covered under their minimum voluntary warranty linked in a comment above and should technically be much easier to deal with in the case of problems as it is directly dealing with Kogan.
Thanks for pointing that out. Much appreciated.

i got to say that if u have ways to buy from china ad able to root the device to use, then u can get the xiaomi 13 pro around the price of xiaomi 13 with the same spec of storage
