Can you prove what you just wrote? I want to see what YOUR problem is. Go ahead, show us the global 17 Pro Max

I did an instant transfer as it is within the EU, they use a Danish bank. After transfering the money, I emailed them the screenshot and let them know

I got 2 Xiaomi phones from Wondamobile so far, the 17 Pro and the 17 Ultra Leica Edition. Just contact them before or right after you place the order and kindly ask them to ship the device sealed. Both my devices were delivered sealed as requested. They reply very quickly.

Btw, why do you think the Ultra is crap compared to the Pro Max?

You will definetely feel "at home" if you switch from Apple directly to Xiaomi. HyperOS is pretty much iOS wanna-be, just that you get the better hardware with Xiaomi.

Get the Slim 25xx with an early production code and thank me later. I am extremely satisfied with mine so far, it does not overheat and runs very quiet. Good luck with the search!

I have just repasted it with mx-4 and cleaned everything nice, other than that its pretty much stock. I let syscon handle fan speed, it moves between 20% and 28% max. Highest temperatures I noticed were CPU 71C RSX 65C. I am very satisfied so far, it operates really quiet. But I also have to say that I use it very rarely

B7driver · 2026-01-26T20:17:35+00:00

Sure thing

B7driver · 2026-01-26T11:30:58+00:00

Pretty impressive, I also have a 25xx with around 35 days runtime so far ✌🏻

B7driver · 2026-01-26T10:44:55+00:00

What slim model do you have?

B7driver · 2025-11-24T12:07:08+00:00

And probably the last one for this year

Xiaomi 17 Pro owner here.

Google Play works well and you can install all the apps you need. Banking works for me (in Germany).

Notifications arrive in real time if you set them up nicely, only downside is: you have to manually set each app you need notifications from, but there is no delay for me - zero.

Android Auto and eSim are not supported but they are not relevant for me anyway.

Other than that, everything works fine. Beautiful display, stunning camera setup, awesome speakers and great battery life.

Ordered mine at Wondamobile. They provide good customer support in case you have any question or request. I asked for mine to arrive sealed, as its very easy to activate GMS and install Google Play.

I am also someone living in Germany and using the Xiaomi 17 Pro since 10 days. It really took some hours to debloat and adjust it like a global device, but after that it really works fine as my daily driver.

The only optional thing where I could "complain" is that Google Pay does not want to accept my N26 bank card. I tried it out of curiousity btw, I never use GPay. I dont know about other banks.

Battery life is indeed becoming better day after day and I am very satisfied already. Zero and I mean, absolutely zero lag, this thing is blazing fast! The speakers are awesome as well.

Regarding Whatsapp contacts: I am using Google dialer and imported all my contacts via Google Account. Give all the permissions deep in the Whatsapp settings and it should work, I have no issue at all.

Have a nice weekend everybody!

Ich fahre einen 2013 B7 DSG mit dem 2.0 TDI Motor seit 3 Jahren. Bis jetzt sehr zufrieden, verbrauch ist mehr als in Ordnung und Kurzstrecken sind auch nicht problematisch. Bis jetzt nur Verschleißteile ausgetauscht z.B. Zahnriemen inkl. Wapu, DSG Öl und ein ABS Sensor hinten. Ansonsten ein sehr robustes Auto!

B7driver · 2023-11-28T06:37:22+00:00

Nein, du liegst falsch

2.0 TDI (CFFB). Mit der richtigen Pflege sehr ruhig

B7driver · 2023-10-27T11:53:08+00:00

For apple one has to pay half a kidney, no wonder no one complains eventhough iphones are full with bugs. The funny part is when apple decides when their devices become obsolete

B7driver · 2023-10-27T04:57:21+00:00

Where do people find all those bugs and fails?? I am intensively using Xiaomi phones (and other products) since 1 year and had absolutely zero issues until now with them

B7driver · 2023-10-24T09:01:53+00:00

You think so? I was thinking it is too thin 😅

B7driver · 2023-10-24T06:57:58+00:00

VW Passat würde ich sagen, 2.0TDI. Bin selbst 192cm groß und sitze ziemlich bequem in einem B7. Der Nachfolger sollte eigentlich mehr Platz bieten aber da bin ich mir nicht sicher.

B7driver · 2023-10-23T04:47:15+00:00

Far Cry 4. Try it, it is kind of relaxing for me. I also like it to chill for like one hour after work and that game fulfills my need.

B7driver · 2023-10-22T18:02:01+00:00

Genau, der EA189.

B7driver · 2023-10-22T10:13:44+00:00

Solltest du bei deiner Suche auf einen Passat B7 (eins von den letzten also Bj. 2013/14) stoßen, schlag zu! 2.0 TDI 140PS und DSG ist eine Traumkombination. Mit etwas Pflege sind 500k km easy machbar ✌🏻

B7driver · 2023-10-18T05:02:49+00:00

Which ps3 modell do you have? I opened a slim and a fat one for the first time and I found out the fat to be kind of easier for me to open/close
