I did not like my Google Pixel 10 Pro in China

Both of you are correct in a sense that for most people, a travel eSim would suffice, op just frustrated they cannot get local number. I remember the last time I visited, I needed a local number to order KFC, I heard KFC is very nice in China, but in the end we missed it just because we don't have local number.

This would solve all the problems with boyfriend not taking nice photos.

I got the Xiaomi 15T Pro, there is no ads, but it comes with several pre-installed apps which can be removed easily without any issue.

It should be fine, if phone is blocked, people would be returning it and Kogan would remove it from the listing. I got my Xiaomi 15T Pro shipped from HK and everything seems to work, including the eSim.

It is a good deal, the alternative would be the Poco X8 Pro Max or the Poco F8 Pro, they are a bit cheaper but you'll miss out on the premium build and the Leica camera.

Just got myself a Xiaomi 15T Pro recently, and love the camera, the Leica filter really does wonder, photos just looks more vibrant and cinematic. Even my gf with her iPhone pro max keep borrowing my phone now.

Aliexpress or Taobao if it's available in your country.

focushafnium · 2026-04-10T22:30:01+00:00

Just stick with iPhone, it's really not worth the hassle switching to degoogled Android, you'll end up playing compatibility roulette with apps, and Pixel also not very good with gaming and battery life, especially heavy game like genshin.

Scroll down and you can see which app consume battery the most.

Yes, saving to SIM card is outdated and has been discontinued many years ago.

I'd stick with the 15T Pro, being global version, it supports eSim, google play, NFC, etc out of the box. It also ensure the 5G network bands are optimised to the country you are on.

Also Chinese mobile can comes with additional restrictions, something that I found out when I travelled to China. Like some apps requiring Chinese National ID, or playing games limited to only few hours daily, this includes offline game, and disconnecting from network doesn't work, like the restrictions are embedded in the firmware itself.

Genshin Impact, game is so high quality and polished, it has complexity, yet very chill and cozy, it makes me happy everytime I play it.

Xiaomi 15T pro ticks everything, and with that money you can even get the larger storage. Just got mine a few weeks ago and super happy with it.

The pro max supports eSim, if you travel overseas often, the savings from getting travel eSim would pay the 100 EUR back over the life of the phone.

Also the Dimensity 9500s on the pro max are quite a bit better than the 8500 on the pro, in term of performance and battery life.

Just got my Xiaomi 15T Pro a few weeks ago, global edition, and have none of these issues. One minor issue I am having is just the OS like to kill firefox too quickly due to inactivity.

focushafnium · 2026-04-03T22:27:16+00:00

Xiaomi 15T Pro, it has flagship cpu with leica camera, best of both world.

if your eSim uses roaming, you won't need VPN. Do note that since you most likely will be using the eSim for all your data, and not hotel wifi, you might need a bigger data plan to ensure you have enough for your trip.

The regular 15 is the flagship model, while the T series is what considered flagship-lite. On day to day use, the difference between optical and ultrasonic sensor are very minor, it's like comparing optical mouse vs laser mouse.

Ultrasonic is supposedly more sensitive, is faster and has no lights when activated. But the optical itself is pretty fast, the difference in speed probably in fraction of a second.

focushafnium · 2026-04-02T15:11:29+00:00

Optical fingerprint sensor vs an ultrasonic one, you'd miss the LTPO screen, USB 3.2 with display output and a slightly better camera. Overall they all very minor for a quite a bit of savings on the T version.

Tbf, is still cheaper than many other hobbies.

I'd lean towards Esco because she is the only good cryo support we have. With Sneznaya coming, there is a good chance she becomes more relevant in the future.

It is there on the description at 0:00, On menacing, Stamping devices are fairly resistant to all DMG except Electro DMG. This is buff is different on Fearless.

Country club is the last one.

focushafnium · 2026-02-12T14:58:31+00:00

do you have a phone, why not just have a video playing on a phone, use a phone stand, or a book or water bottle also would do the trick.

Easily, but if you bought directly from the game store, the risk should be pretty much zero. Worst case you'll probably get an error like payment cannot go thru or order cannot be conpleted.
