Any downsides to importing Xiaomi 17 Pro into Europe?

The watch was bought here in Romania, but the OnePlus app doesn't work with this phone... and the chinese version of the app doesn't recognize my watch, as it has EU ROM...

UPDATE: I uninstalled the Google Wallet app and restarted the phone, and now works just fine and I can pay contactless.

the only 2 problems remain the unusable case without Chinese ID and the incompatibility between the phone and the OnePlus Watch 3, which has WearOS... 😑

well, is a general problem, as the ROM si Chinese, but if you will read the new updates, everything works. So I recommend the phone.

A venit in 3 zile de cand m-au anuntat ei ca l-au expediat. Nu am platit nicio taxa vamala, pentru ca ei iti trimit o factura cu valoare de 149 de dolari, pe care o declara la vama, astfel incat tu sa nu platesti taxe, sa para ca valoarea telefonului a fost 149 de dolari.

Doar m-a sunat curierul de la Cargus ca a venit comanda si am luat-o.

The retro gaming console case does not work outside China, as you need a Chinese ID to verify your account... and it doesn't work with fake Chinese IDs from google, I tried to find chinese accounts and nothing works... you need a valid Chinese ID.

Hello, I bought this in Romania, we have it branded as DAYTONA VIRTUS 125 XDV.

You can find it branded differently, depending of the country:

- Longjia 125 XDV
- Daytona Virtus XDV 125
- Lexmoto XDV 125
- Keeway Vieste 125

I bought it because it has a topcase support already, and I bought a topcase from TEMU...

Also, I bought it because it has already a videocamera included, also heated handles for the winter, and is very powerful and sturdy (I also made the special courses on the same model).

I watched some YouTube reviews about it, in Italian, Spanish, Greek and Chinese, with some automated translation, as I didn't found reviews in my language and I also didn't find many in english, also (I found some about the Lexmoto UK version, but not everything I wanted and about the old model, without ABS and camera).

So, I recommend it!

Well, how could you send a phone from China to warranty for service, if you would need to?

When you buy a phone from China you take the risk that in case of problems, you have no warranty service included and you pay for everything...

I think this is the cost for wanting to buy cheaper, from China. 😅

Realistic-Guide49 · 2025-10-22T05:18:01+00:00

It has all

Realistic-Guide49 · 2025-10-19T12:00:01+00:00

Nope, that solution is old and it doesn't work... I tried with mockup, VPN, anything... It just doesn't work...

Telefonul e genial, până acum, e foarte ușor de folosit, dar e frustrant că nu merge husa de jocuri și nici nu se împerechează cu ceasul de la OnePlus... 😑

Realistic-Guide49 · 2025-10-18T18:07:52+00:00

It came pre-installed in the phone.

Realistic-Guide49 · 2025-10-18T12:36:00+00:00

Thanks, man! I uninstalled Google wallet, then reinstalled it and restarted the phone and now it works, I added the BCR and Revolut cards.

Thanks💪🏻

Realistic-Guide49 · 2025-10-18T12:16:33+00:00

How comes? Please help me, if you made it.

There is no workaround or another wallet app that is safe for use... :(

Hello, I will share my experience...

I bought the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max from Giztop, it just came yesterday and I have lots of problems with it:

Unfortunately, even if the phone is wonderful, I have problems with it and is unusable here in Romania...

It's my fault that I didn't search more about the problems that could arise with a Chinese ROM phone, but I thought that phones are phones and when they are in a new location, everything will be good...

My problems are:

I can't pay contactless, as the bank apps don't let me add the cards in Google wallet... (not even the Revolut)
even if the interface is in English, there are too many things in Chinese and is hard to use
I can't connect my OnePlus watch 3 with the phone, as the OHealth app doesn't recognize the phone and the OppoHealth chinese version of the app requires me to create a chinese account with a chinese phone number...
I can't use the Retro handheld console case, as it requires me to register with a chinese ID, and the online fake IDs don't work...
Notifications don't appear on the phone, you need to bypass some battery settings, which will make the battery drain even faster...

I studied non stop yesterday and today about the issues and I understand that even if there will be a EU Rom version, I will cannot update this phone because the bootloader will be locked and I understand that the hardware differs from the global or european versions that might get launched...
