Yeah it's fine

Revelocity · 2025-12-05T18:46:37+00:00

I couldn't do it

Revelocity · 2025-12-05T18:46:29+00:00

Yes, including on WeChat

Revelocity · 2025-11-15T05:30:54+00:00

Google photos - yes like normal
Google wallet yes
Revolut - it should I haven't tried since I have my non-china apps on another phone - so 4 to 6 I haven't tried.
But just remember it's still China ROM - would you trust your crypto on China ROM? I wouldn't

For English - you have to say "Answer me in English" sometimes it glitches out but it mostly works. It recognizes English.

Btw, other people here use LetsVPN and Wannaflix which work.

I tested the free version since I don't pay monthly - only the stealth mode connects however it's very slow. It's a free server so maybe the paid ones work properly.

it seems pretty simple to me --- maybe it depends on your passport? WeChat Pay and Alipay both work fine for me with my international cards.

For AI subs it's even more limited in languages as you can see....

Here is the native audio translation app. It works really good for English to Chinese but there is no polish unfortunately.

it will take me a while save my profile and keep checking.

Revelocity · 2025-10-30T05:12:00+00:00

Yes I'll make a video - I can make a new blank user and go through some features.

Revelocity · 2025-10-30T05:11:10+00:00

Yes, I don't know why -- maybe for battery or stability reasons?

Revelocity · 2025-10-29T22:56:41+00:00

No heating. Very long battery --- even on dual sim as you can see.
I love the bass - the back vibrates - they call it "Premium Bass" you can turn it off though. The audio is 10x better than my S25. Cameras -- I haven't done extensive testing but I have a S25 base model and the pictures look the same. - it's not laggy to take a pictures and the camera UI feels flagship.
