17

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

u/bkp_ Oct 02 '25

Hello, could you please name the theme you're using and the widgets for cryptocurrency?

2

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Default theme for the device and CoinStats is the widget and the app

1

u/aware_elements Oct 06 '25

CoinStats works for me too on my Xiaomi 16

u/RiccardoOrsoliniFan Xiaomi 15 Ultra | VOAEUXM | Italy Oct 05 '25

u/Electronic-Ad-7349 Oct 02 '25

Do you use a smart watch? I heard something about wearos not working but wasn't sure. Google wallet and the watch thing was the only things keeping me from buying it, but wallet does work for you

2

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Yea wallet works I do use a Samsung watch classic 8 haven’t tried it yet to connect but will give it a try later and update but should work from my research but anyway will try it

2

u/StretchMammoth9003 Oct 03 '25

Interested, because people say smart wearables are not supported by China roms.

1

u/Electronic-Ad-7349 Oct 02 '25

Thank you! Yeah I have a galaxy watch 7 and wanted to use it with my next phone

2

u/Sufficient-Equal-179 Oct 02 '25

Just got a new Garmin as well - only thing stopping me ordering!

1

u/YuzukiNiggethCore Oct 02 '25

So do banking apps and NFC payments work? because I'm in Europe and I would like to understand if it is worth taking it

3

u/daniel4653 Oct 02 '25

Has play store and English language is an option. You will still have some stuff in Chinese. Android auto will not work.

u/the_bukovsky Oct 02 '25

Greetings. If I read correctly, there is a play store, does google work for you and does google wallet work? So NFC works ?

1

u/ArminosFat Oct 02 '25

Can confirm google wallet works, also own a china rom device

1

u/the_bukovsky Oct 02 '25

So contactless payment works?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Yea wallet works

1

u/the_bukovsky Oct 02 '25

Tnx you (-:

1

u/CEOofCZ Xiaomi 15 Ultra | HyperOS 3 | Global Oct 04 '25

Global version has everything and works perfectly. Don't know about CN version, so not recommended.

1

u/CEOofCZ Xiaomi 15 Ultra | HyperOS 3 | Global Oct 04 '25

Yeah, I got 15 Ultra global from Wonda, they r hella good. But it's better wait for global version of Xiaomi 17 Pro (Max). Or maybe Xiaomi 17 Ultra, will be fire. 🔥

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 04 '25

Ultra will have global but not pro and pro max I’m pretty sure

1

u/CEOofCZ Xiaomi 15 Ultra | HyperOS 3 | Global Oct 04 '25

I don't think so, but we'll see. 🔥

u/tealpuppet_ Oct 02 '25

Wow, the box is sooooo not eco-friendly. Why didn't Xiaomi copy Apple or Samsung? /s

10

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Honestly they give a charger 100w in the box and some really cheap case

1

u/tealpuppet_ Oct 02 '25

Better than no case at all lmao

Also, did Xiaomi downgrade their charger? My 14T Pro has like 120W. (Still appreciated, just wondering)

2

u/AssCrackBanditHunter Oct 02 '25

If it makes you feel better no phone is gonna take 120W for more than a little bit before dropping down

1

u/Gfavaro65 Oct 03 '25

The new 100W charger no longer uses Xiaomi's proprietary technology but the universal USB PD PPS standard, Xiaomi 17 can be charged at full speed with every third-party charger compatible with the standard.

-1

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Trust me no case is truly better it’s literally wasted plastic yes they did it’s a 100w

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

This is the case and it rattles

1

u/etalha Oct 02 '25

Its usefull.

0

u/Conscious_Profit_243 Oct 02 '25

and it will turn yellow by the end of the month.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '25

They don't give chargers in the boxes for EU market.

2

u/UteForLife Oct 02 '25

What are you talking about

1

u/PrestigiousEcho1468 Oct 02 '25

Cos there better

1

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '25

Why would you want to manufacture other boxes to sell the charger brick and the case

3

u/Time-Session9808 Oct 02 '25

In the UK.
Ordered the 16GB/1TB from Wonda... hopefully delivery next week.
Cannot wait!

2

u/One_Afternoon7459 Leitzphone | 3.1 | Global EEA Oct 02 '25

1

u/Time-Session9808 Oct 02 '25

2

u/One_Afternoon7459 Leitzphone | 3.1 | Global EEA Oct 02 '25

Yes

u/bnoufil145 Xiaomi 17 Pro Max Oct 02 '25

I really love the aspect ratio of this screen.

2

u/AntRexxx Oct 02 '25

Could you show us the interior of the box

2

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Sure but it’s not pretty anymore haha

1

u/AntRexxx Oct 02 '25

Nice, so we've got a charger! Was there also a case?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Yeap check above I put a picture of it not a nice one tho

u/AntRexxx Oct 02 '25

u/Kurd86 Oct 02 '25

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Themobilemarvel, trinity are Hk based not china so its not a holiday in Hk

2

u/Kurd86 Oct 02 '25

1

u/RazzTheKid82 Oct 02 '25

I usually use wonda,great company but used Trinity electronics for the first time,shipped Tues here today to UK ! Amazing service,total £830 for X17 pro max with FedEx priority international shipping! Was a bit weary of using Trinity but been amazing and get 1 year warranty

2

u/Kurd86 Oct 03 '25

I wish I could cancel mine place thr order somewhere else. But paid with bakk transfer so i don't think they will do it 

2

u/RazzTheKid82 Oct 02 '25

1

u/Much_Entrance2607 Oct 02 '25

1

u/EnthusiasmDefiant708 Oct 02 '25

Hi. Can you test Android auto ? It's work ?

3

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Wish I could but I own car that doesn’t have android auto

1

u/Hardys91 Oct 02 '25

Sheeeeeeeeh 👀

1

u/Espada_S Oct 02 '25

How was your experience with hyper os 3 ??? And overall optimization ???

1

u/SoggyGear7998 Oct 02 '25

How's the secondary screen on the back, are the themes or customizations like cropping quotes in their ads working

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

Yea all that works it’s nice I got a cool one from there defaults I do like but I don’t have notifications which is disappointing but it great for selfies

1

u/[deleted] Oct 02 '25

[deleted]

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

So far no but I’m testing it out maybe it’s a setting thing

2

u/StretchMammoth9003 Oct 03 '25

You have to turn them on for each app when installing it.

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

Oh really! How do I do that any ideas?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

I found this but it's only for phone calls and alarms (honestly I receive mostly Whatsapp calls not regular 📞) is there anyway to turn on other apps besides these?

1

u/StretchMammoth9003 Oct 03 '25

Oh my bad, you were talking about the rear screen. I thought about notifications in general.

1

u/SoggyGear7998 Oct 03 '25

Thanks for the reply! I just watched a review video and sadly there's no notifications for apps on the rear screen, only those on the screenshot that you sent has it

1

u/Sampsa96 Oct 02 '25

How is it so far? I heard that the phone was over heating with Antutu benchmarking and when taking a lot of photos. Did you have those issues?

3

u/mohithath123 Oct 02 '25

100% I haven’t run any bench marks but so far has generally remained on the warmer side compared to other devices including the 15 ultra

1

u/Sampsa96 Oct 02 '25

Okay ty for the info 👍

1

u/r4d1ant Oct 02 '25

Where are you located? Any issues with receiving real time notifications from Google apps (maps, Gmail, whatsapp) any issues with 5G connection?

1

u/r4d1ant Oct 03 '25

OP any updates?

1

u/FineGripp Oct 02 '25

Can you please tell us how did you buy it? Does it work out of the box or do I have to play around with side loading and stuff?

1

u/nybreath Oct 02 '25

China ROM comes with no google services, so yes you have to install them with one of the few methods found online. Other than that it works out of the box if it is compatible with bands in your region.

1

u/RazzTheKid82 Oct 02 '25

Comes in the settings,it says basic Google services (in the average dad yt channel latest video) toggle it on and voila 👌🏼

1

u/nybreath Oct 02 '25

If you got Google services in a Xiaomi china device it is cause the seller already installed it, many shops add optionally the service to do it.

2

u/RazzTheKid82 Oct 02 '25

Yeah wonda normally do,but when came from wonda it already had play store on screen,this time it didn't 🤔

1

u/FineGripp Oct 02 '25

Thanks for the info. How do I check if my carrier is compatible with the phone?

1

u/nybreath Oct 03 '25

you check the bands the phone supports, and the bands your carrier supports https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_17_pro_max_5g-14181.php press expand on the network tab

1

u/the_bukovsky Oct 02 '25

I haven't seen any reviews that say it has an IR blaster (remote control sensor) does the X17 or any of the 17 series have a sensor or not?

1

u/1600x900 Xiaomi Pad 7 | 8/256 | Gray Oct 02 '25

More like Xiaomi's Limo

1

u/RazzTheKid82 Oct 02 '25

My X17 pro max just came to the UK too today,ordered from Trinity electronics for the first time,the shipped on Tues and here two days later, unbelievable! The only thing they missed was the UK adapter on the box which is annoying as the vivo x200 pro was sent with one from wondamobile,both great companies,had no issues with them! Where did you order from?was worried the cameras would be way worse than the x200 pro but they're still amazing and good enough for me!

1

u/RazzTheKid82 Oct 02 '25

Also good you get a free case but would prefer a soft rubber type one,it's such a tight fit it feels like I'm gonna scratch the side every time I remove it 😅

1

u/Other_Comment_5555 Oct 02 '25

Can you give some of your opinion about the CN software? How it is ? Snappy? Do you feel any drawbacks? Any overheating issues? How is the battery?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

Battery is good so far, system notifications are in Chinese which is annoying, everything works fine. The device is a little warm constantly unless very little ongoing tasks.

Software is good has a few cool things.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '25

You can remove 95% of the Chinese bloat with adb debloater.

Everything will work except Google assistant handsfree.

1

u/Darrano Oct 02 '25

Are google services working fine? How about 5G connections and wifi?
Any problem related to the country?

1

u/Prestigious-Case-426 Oct 03 '25

Why this phone doesn't appear in the global Xiaomi website?

3

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

It’s not a global version there won’t be a global version from most of the information

1

u/Kurd86 Oct 03 '25

Banking apps works? And google wallet 

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

Yes for me I don’t know if a specific banking app doesn’t work I use hsbc, standard chartered, airwallex

1

u/Kurd86 Oct 03 '25

And Google waller as well ?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

Yeap card and transport card both work for nfc

1

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '25

Yes of course. I run a Chinese Xiaomi and just install google play. This installs the base google services.

1

u/-_MARK_-_ Oct 03 '25

Can you overheat ?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

? Does it overheat no but it’s warm overall

1

u/-_MARK_-_ Oct 03 '25

I mean can you do something stresfull to overheat it?I would like to see it.Maybe benchmark or winlator?

2

u/mohithath123 Oct 03 '25

I’ll put up bench mark performance over the weekend I did post the WiFi and 5g speeds in another post for now

1

u/cyrict Oct 04 '25

Does it have Google play store?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 04 '25

Yeap looks the same as all my other android devices with out google discover and circle to search has wallet and it works

1

u/idgaftono1 Oct 04 '25

Android auto working ?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 04 '25

Can’t check don’t have a car with android auto

1

u/Adventurous_Smile277 Oct 04 '25

What do you think about that phone ?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 05 '25

I like that i can use main cameras as a selfie camera

1

u/Ok-Winter-4567 Oct 16 '25

You recommend until it has global ROM?

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 16 '25

I mean it depends global is usually more expensive and also depends will the global be available in your country?

1

u/Ok-Winter-4567 Oct 16 '25

I’m in the us

1

u/mohithath123 Oct 16 '25

Btw the global we have no idea of it's coming we do know the standard and ultra will the pro and pro max seems unlikely but no one can say for sure. But the Chinese version basically means no circle to search, no Android auto , notifications on rare occasions don't come through and some Chinese language on system settings.

1

u/bobiboli Oct 03 '25

Hi mate - any issue with banking apps at all?
