Baba, Is there any issue with getting the Chinese version of this RN8 Pro and hope there is GCam for it

MTK Chipset rarely or in most cases don't support GCam.

The Chinese version of RN8 and Pro have no support for any of MTN'S LTE Bands.

Only in the limited areas with band 3. Only the Global Version has support for all 4G bands in Nigeria including band 28.

I have heard of that before.. But I won't be able to use a pouch/case on my phone cos it won't fit.
Or is there a different one?
Got my sim extender today from Jboixxx.... It is very thin. The only thick part is the sim port and its thickness is not disturbing my armoured pouch. However the top left corner is slightly elevated owing to the sim beneath it, but its negligible for my pouch... For some others, it might b a big deal.
I can now access 2 sims and mmc grin

It really looks thin..

How much did you get it? And how long did it take?

I also use an armoured pouch, just hope I'll get same result as yours.

If you format it as portable devices, you won't be able to install apps on it. Only pictures, music and other files can be saved on it.

If you format as internal, it will assume the position of your internal storage. All apps will be installed on it, all apps data will be saved in it. All your pictures, music and other files will be saved on it.

Plus, it won't be as fast as when you format as portable.

If you are formatting as internal, it's advisable to use an original SD card with high read and write speed.

So you decide now.

I am just asking if what they are is really true or is it base on last experience. Cos I want to buy the phone.

Though I read XDA that the kernel source of the Mediatek Helio G90T (12nm) has been released
You can get the phone Bro. Most of those bashing the phone don't use it. And on the support issue, One can't really know how long Xiaomi will release updates on the device, but I, as an individual don't really give a damn about that, as long as there isn't a major bug that needs to be corrected

He wasn't asking about this alone. He also asked if supports GCam which it doesn't.

Also about the LTE Bands on the Chinese version which is limited. There is no support for MTN 4G bands except the Global Version. So it is let for him to decide.

I watched a camera comparison test between the phone, Mi9 and Redmi K20 and there wasn't much difference. With that kind of Camera, I don't even think GCAM is necessary unless he's a camera freak though. And on the 4G bands, he can just go for the global version

Watch the comparison between GCam on the RN7 Pro and RN8 PRO stock camera and see GCam 48MP trashing the 64MP on the RN8 PRO thanks to Google algorithms in almost every test.

Well, we all have our preferences in phones. If he prioritises speed and performance, we know the 8 pro is a good choice. But if he's a camera freak, then I giv upp grin

MIUI doesn't and I stated it earlier when he first asked but didn't pay attention. Only some custom ROM does.
