Fellow Xiaomites, I happen to be in the Chinese city of Hangzhou and got to visit the Xiaomi store this evening (yes, it's already evening here).

I had made up my mind to go for the Mi5S Plus and I saw it alright but they didn't have the Global ROM version in the shop. One of the salespeople assured me that I would be able to download apps on it in Nigeria once I installed Google Playstore, but I was skeptical so I didn't go ahead to buy it. I know it is possible to flash it with the Global ROM and get it to work just fine but I have never done it before. I intend to go back tomorrow and buy it if the experts in the house can guide me please. Meanwhile, enjoy some pics I took there. grin
Global Rom ke 4 mainlaind china....chinese government don ban google services ova dere na, abi una don forgt ni...

Tell them to flash it for you na! That's an official outlet, just pay them extra.

The language barrier is terrible! Chinese people no try at all. I couldn't get them to understand me when I spoke the Global ROM. I might buy it and take it to another part of town I have heard has a heavy concentration of electronics shops to have it flashed.

Xiaomi Mi Max Mimax 6.44" 4850mAh Mobile Phone Snapdragon 652 Octa Core 1920x1080P 4GB RAM 128GB ROM Fingerprint ID

Abeg fellow xiaomite, how una see this phone.. planned getting it or mi5 pro

It depends what u need/want. They are 2 different devices with distinct features.
You can't go wrong with any of the 2. If mi max is what u wanna get, do sharp sharp because, they are not restocking it and only 2 seller have few left on aliexpress.

Yea, exactly, he has nothing to worry about. Just tell him to install latest global stable rom. Since he doesn't know what a bootloader is, make him no worry at all, he has no business with it.

Thanks @jboixx and @gptech and others. My phone number s back to normal. I didn't have to go through the fadtboot and recovery mode methods. All I had to do was go to my updater app, and I chose the update package and voila! I've reverted back to miui 8v 7.3.30
Thanks

At last I finally paid for my Mi Note 2. It aint easy funding alipocket with close to 600 dolars menh! Thanks to those that responded to my plight when finding it difficult to fund my alipocket. For those still asking me about my Redmi Note 3 SE, the phone is gone. Someone here on Nairaland has bought it. Waiting patiently for the Note 2. grin
