I've used Redmi Note 2 and my friend used Mi 4, so technically I used Mi 4 too cos I was always handling his own.
Okay.

How do they have the same UI?
Is there something I'm missing? huh
Then Xiaomi is more difficult to lay hands on.
How did you and your friend get the phones?

So in your opinion, Xiaomi is classy? I don't think so.
We have different opinions.

Let's leave it that way.

The other parts of your post are irrelevant because it's obvious you haven't handled a Xiaomi phone before.

I tried to activate the otp via the quickteller platform and an error message came up. When I went back to the bank, that's when I was told to apply for otp which I did but still nothing (my email app and phone didn't get the otp)
Quick teller is for Verve cards which do not work for foreign transactions.
You should give it time, sometimes it takes up to 24 hours or more to reflect.
Or maybe the fault is from UBA..
The "utoken" app keeps saying "The user you specified is not eligible for one-time password (OTP) login".
Not sure about using the app because I haven't used it before.

On Monday take your phone to the bank and they'll set up everything for you.

For convenience just get a token.
Everything is offline so even if UBA or the merchant's servers are overloaded you'll still be able to complete transactions as you don't need to receive OTP. You'll just press the token and input whatever number shows up.

Team Xiaomi, the newbie is getting wiser day by day, however I do like to ask some questions about the online markets.
I observed majority are buying from Aliexpress is there a reason for this, I discovered some other wonderful platforms like chinavasion, geekbuying, gearbest, alibaba etc. Is there a reason for this preference.
AliExpress is an online market place, like eBay , but for manufacturers and suppliers.
AliExpress itself does not sell any item, it's a the sellers there that sell, unlike Bangood, gearbest, etc where it's the website itself that sells which usually makes it more expensive.


People here prefer AliExpress because it's cheaper since you buy in retail size from wholesalers and manufacturers at wholesale prices.
Companies like Oukitel, Romoss, Pineng, etc have stores on AliExpress so you can buy directly from them at MRSP without the reseller markup.


Alibaba is just like AliExpress (the Alibaba group owns both websites) but it's mostly for wholesalers.
You can get items at Alibaba at a cheaper price than you get at AliExpress but you'll have to meet the MOQ (minimum order quantity) which can be as low as 10 or as high as 100 or 1000.
You usually can't buy 1 piece.
You can also haggle on the price with the seller.

eg you can probably get a Redmi 4A for about $80 or so, instead of the $89 or $100 on AliExpress, but you may have to buy like 20 pieces at once.

I stand to be corrected as I don't have much experience with Alibaba.
Also, I didn't understand how to determine the shipping the vendor should use for my transactions, I have seen team mentioning NL post that itis faster than oothers.
Appreciate sharing your knowledge.
On the order page just select the shipping" menu.
You'll see a list of shipping methods, prices, and expected delivery time.
It goes without saying that the more expensive shipping methods have a lower delivery time.
You can spend $50 or $70 for DHL and get the item in less than a week usually, compared to the 2-3 weeks Singapore post takes.

Note that shipping method is dependent on item and seller.

Cheers.

UBA and I used the bank ATM to try activating the otp but it didn't work.
Didn't work as in..?

They don't send the OTP at all, or you don't receive it.

If you've activated it and don't receive it on your phone check your email, they send to the email also.

You can also use the Utoken app or get a hardware token.
