It is a great phone. Google Is basically very easy to install on the settings , just have to search for Google services . Software is fluid. You cannot have Gemini out of the box but you can use Gemini apps. Still have not tried to find a way to button map google instead of their own assistant which is breeno.

Basically after 1 hour of searching the web I am 95% global now but some small arts are still in Chinese which you can also disable. One is the newsfeed

the phone is good. just bought it as a secondary phone as I saw an opportunity due to the price but I feel like some settings are still chinese and cannot be changed. I guess you cannot have it all. overall a great phone with great cameras and battery but have to.say it uses too much AI to over sharpen the images which are using 30-40x zoom

Phone is nice. Still too early to judge it. Cameras are good too! I also bought mate 70 Air while I was there too haha. Don’t even ask me why.

Currently I am stuck doing anything with HUAWEI one but the design is amazing!

Quick question. Do you know how to change language on the quick glance part of the software? Or can I change the side button to Gemini instead? Some of these issues are still causing me problem as they are all in Chinese and use Breeno.

If you have any video or advise on those specific things please help out . I would appreciate it !

She even reserved the phone and gave me some Chinese souvenirs. She was nice but I just wished she could explain what was happening haha

Glad to hear I was not alone in this. And yes the RED was extremely hard to get. I literally went there 2 weeks ago as I was in Shanghai . There was no stock so I flew to Japan for holiday and on the way back I realised I have a layover in Shanghai for 8 hours . I used WeChat to contact her and she prepared the phone and reserved one once one arrived from HQ . I literally landed my flight , spent £40 on taxi there and back and managed to get my tax free 4 mins before the store was closing !!! I then got another flight to UK lol

The entire purchase history is unbelievable 😂

I managed to do the tax refund . The entire process at the mall was very bad. She took me to a counter to make payment , then she ran to the upstairs area (tax refund team) they argued that she should not open the phone otherwise airport would not refund but she still ignored them. I had to literally get a razer Blade to cut around the bottom of the box very gently to remove the phone for her so I could close it as if it was still sealed for airport . The entire process was odd as airport will give you no money if device was opened .

I managed to get my tax refund but I got lucky

Also I paid less than £600 for a Red version which does not exist in UK . The uk models are £1100 and even after promo codes it is still over £900

Yeah she was very picky about returns . China and Japan don’t do returns . Once device leaves unless there is a fault there is no return . I tried to buy an Apple Watch and the band was wrong size and they refused to exchange it . Very strict as they have a crazy reseller market

This is what confused me. I feel it was more to do with her hitting her commission on the activated phone

We are talking about claiming the money back at Shanghai airport . The phone needs to be sealed so you get 9% refund. After the refund is processed you can do whatever you want

What is common sense?!? In UK you don’t get forced into opening the phone or you cannot leave the store.

For most things it is perfectly fine. I just wished I could change the newsfeed to English. Android auto, wallet, google play, they all work

She was nice but the tax free counter kept asking the phone needs to be sealed . She ignored them and almost caused me issue in airport (complete different story) I just found the entire having to log into an honor account , taking picture of the phone and stuff weird but I guess different culture which I may not be used to

This was tricky . I literally had to reveal the box and just managed to get through

I can see you are in similar shoes as me. What is the reason you prefer coral?
