128GB 9T Pro - what is expected price on it from what others here are seeing?

BRYAN Is Ainm Dom

For anyone waiting on delivery, check your tracking as mine is in in the country since today, so should receive delivery tomorrow.

Going to buy one of these this week. €352 for the 128gb on eglobal or €392 on honorbuy. What would people recommend as I've never bought off either of these sites?

From reading the thread it seems if you want it quickly honoubuy, you could possibly wait 2-3 weeks off eglobal

I purchased a few days ago off eglobal it still says processing

I ordered mine off GearBest a few weeks ago: it came quicker than expected, and without any extra (customs etc.) charges. I ended up paying about 405 euro.

A few days after I ordered it, a work colleague pointed me towards this site (look at the Deals column on the right) via which I could have got it for 330 from GearBest. I see it's now 321.

It's a great phone, by the way.

Mine finally updated. In London Hub at 13.45 today so hopefully I get it in the next few days.
Ordered a week ago.

Hi what's difference between one selling on amazon for 260- 330 gbp to one in China sites?

From my reading of threads, a better chance of faulty-phone resolution with Amazon + a faster delivery.

Anyone having a problem with Spotify and Android auto? Just keeps saying it's not working right now...Google music works fine

Spotify is working for me, however the home screen on spotify is just blank. I uninstalled and reinstalled, and still the same.

Just realised I've been slightly unkind to EGlobalCentral. I thought I ordered on the 21st. I did not.
I ordered at 23:53 on the 22nd, which is basically the 23rd, and the order was dispatched on the 25th and arrived in the London hub at 13:50 on the 28th.

Hopefully it arrives before the weekend, in which case I'll be very happy with the service.

A big problem I'm having with this phone is that apps seemingly can't overcome the lock screen. I use an alarm app called Sleep (As Android) and when the alarm comes on i have to manually unlock the screen to access the snooze/dismiss buttons. I've tried every conceivable app permission without success.

Anyone else facing similar and able to resolve?

rickyjb

I placed my order with eglobal late on the 8th (so effectively the 9th Oct) and it arrived in the London Hub on the 18th, out for delivery in Ireland on the 22nd. 13 days overall is not so bad, considering the price.


I can also confirm that you get an unopened device, no dodgy firmware or anything like that. It's shipped from hong kong so you get that version which has the UK plug, no messing with travel chargers.


The phone itself is great, blazing fast and the screen looks great. The camera is decent enough but I suspect you need to know what you're doing with the settings to get the most out of it. The Miui OS is just about tolerable for now but does have a bit of bloatware that you can't uninstall. The constant battle between the miui native apps and google apps is a bit annoying, it's hard to know which is better to use sometimes. I'm going to try the Xiaomi EU rom and if that still annoys me I'll install Lineage or Oxygen.


Even though it recommends not to use fingerprint unlock with a screen protector I have both and they work fine (tip - put the screen protector on immediately as you remove the plastic covering that comes with the phone, avoids any dust getting in).


Overall I would highly recommend the phone and eglobal.

Forgot to mention: when I collected it from the skynet delivery place in Santry the girl working there wanted to know if it was a phone and where were they all coming from. She noticed a serious surge in the last few weeks. Must be a popular choice! I gave her the name of the website (eglobal) and as I left she went online to have a look for herself.

Why not just use the clock app that comes with the phone for your alarm? You can snooze it with the volume button (dangerously convenient)

Unusual problem for a mi phone ,my last 2 including my current mi max 2 haven't ( had this problem, hopefully it's sorted

It's a paid-for app I've been using for years, and does sleep tracking among other things. Not just a simple alarm (magnificent options with that as well).

Did you go into settings...notifications.....lock screen notifications,then click on your sleep app and all the options are there to allow sound,notifications etc on the lock screen


Edit..when.you go into settings>>>notifications there are three screen-like icons on the top of the screen,click the first one (on the left)

I debloated mine using the ADB/Fastboot tool (here). It works the same as on Pocophone and doesn't require root or unlocked bootloader (just developer options turned on).

I think its a lot less than that on banggood including customs insurance via EU priority line.

not banggood but gearbest selling thr 128gb pro for €335 with coupon GBM9TPRO4. Word of warning though re gearbest .... I ordered the non pro version of the 9t a few weeks ago and following a week was informed that it was out of stock. Took 2 weeks for refund to be processed. I then ordered from geekbuying and after a week was informed that it was out of stock - refund processed the following day.

Have since ordered from banggood and it was shipped the following day - €272 incl delivery

Subcomandante Marcos

Mine is out for delivery today.

Sorry it was likely the 64GB I was looking at. See here

Does it take an sd card to give more space?

Timmaay

Got mine just over 3wks after ordering. Overall its not quite as good as my old mate20 pro, slightly more lag, camera slower etc, however for less than half the price I can absolutely live with that. I knew that it ships with a slightly slower fast charge block, however I thought I could just use my mate20 block which can support 27w, however turns out that this 27w is only at a higher voltage that the 9t doesn't support, so I was only getting 2amps at 5v using it. The 2pin block that is sent in the box comes with a terrible 3 pin adaptor, it charges at 3amps, anyone got a replacement 3 pin block that will charge the 9t at the full 27w yet, and from where?

Unfortunately no SD card slot

Does anyone else have terrible issues with the proximity sensor on the 9T?

When I am on calls my face launches apps, switches back and forth between speakerphone and Mike or worse still activates the camera and starts requesting video from the other side?

I also find sliders on videos (e.g. VLC and YouTube) to be totally unresponsive

And the keyboard is awful too, always undocking itself and always making poor spell check decisions for me

Anyone else HATE their 9T??

I had the exact same proximity sensor issue with my last phone the xiaomi mi 1A but not with this

do you know you can install and use different keyboards ? or is it happening with them all? I like to use Googles own G-Board

Maybe though you should try & get a refund or exchange for a new model ??

irishproduce

Would shipping it to parcel motel save on the customs?

Ben Done

Thanks to the contributors of this thread for the great info.




Decided to order the 9T 128gb off amazon.es - Came to €317 delivered


Honorbuy are out of stock on the 128, and would have been dearer with postage anyway - prefer to have the Amazon backup in any case, as it's about the upper limit of what I'd pay for a phone.


Couldn't justify stretching to the 9T Pro - don't think I need the extra power (not a gamer).


Will update once I unlock the bootloader, root it, and install a custom rom (likely Pixel Experience, but would be grateful for any feedback from anyone running a custom rom).

I got the the 11 update early last week for my 9T , my 2nd 9T not seeing the update .

Wquirke1234

Looking to buy the Mi9T Pro but have just one concern re notifications...

Notifications? Do they stay on the status bar until read? Are alerts highlighted over the app and do appear on lock screen.

I have the Pocophone but the whole notification issue is a little annoying.

I had to turn this feature on on my 9 lite, but it seems they stay there until read now. and you have to set the battery saver for each app you want to no restrictions to allow all notifications.

I seem to have some sort of adware / malware. Are there any apps people recommend to clean that? Phone came from Amazon so may have visited a dodgy site

Those who purchased from Eglobal, how long did it take?
I know they take time, but some terrible web reviews.

Bought my phone there back in july. ordered on tuesday, delivered 9 days later.
Quite a few colleagues of me bought there before me and where happy enough as well.
3 months after you buy, you get daily emails from them that are annoying and cant unscribe from but they stop after 2 weeks.
So there are little annoyances but for the prices there, easy to live with.

That being said, after i received my phone i found out that amazon.de had the same phone for just a few €'s more. probably would have gone there if i had known before. Cant beat amazon CS if things go wrong

Mine never came. Got "lost" in DPD in Athlone and eglobal refused to refund me / send another phone. Got my money back through Visa chargeback after 3 months. Would buy elsewhere, if possible. I didn't get insurance but based on how hard they are to contact wouldn't be sure if you'd get your money back through that either.

I ordered on the 7th of October, got onto them on the 13th as it had gone out of stock and there was no updates. Got the dispatching soon email on the 15th, dispatched from Hong Kong on the 17th and was delivered on the 21st.

Hi all,

I'm thinking about buying the 9T Pro from https://www.xiaomi.ie for €415.

Two questions I'd appreciate answers to before I go ahead and pull the trigger:-

1. Is https://www.xiaomi.ie a good site to buy from or should i but from eCentral / GeekBuyers or similar?

2. Does the 9T Pro actually have NFC which facilitates Google Pay?

Really appreciate your response so I can make an informed decision.

My 9T (albeit not Pro) has NFC and I use Google Pay with it.
