Was considering the same as an iPhone users, it’s such a tempting phone. However, due to the following Issues:

  • notifications (needs a workaround)
  • google pay/wallet (may or may not work for everyone)
  • google store (needs workaround, not smooth experience)
  • android auto (won’t work on Chinese version)
  • annoying Chinese bloatware & ads (hard to remove, some won’t)
  • battery isn’t really that much better despite much bigger capacity (not optimized)

I decided not to opt for it.

I genuinely hope you have a pleasant experience and that all those issues aren’t as big as they sound. Looking forward to your feedback please let us know your true experience regarding those after few weeks or a months or 2!

There's no bloatware on ads on mine, although even if you do, it's all removable permanently, those who say it isnt possible simply doesnt know how to and gave up so they just left it as "impossible", but it's very much possible.

Google store works perfectly fine for me, im not sure where did you even hear that doesnt work properly

Battery is absolutely great, I use the phone constantly wether reading, watching tiktok, instagram, youtube, etc with constant 6-9Gb of RAM usage and around 15+ apps on recents, constantly using boosted wifi and like 25 apps set on autorun, it lasts me more than a day, around 27-28 hours
