    Global vs China

    Yes, I think the only advantage to the Global version is that if the EU rom doesnt work for me (or stops in the future), I can always fall back to the global rom (on a locked BL) and still have things "working"

    Global vs China

    That's what I thought. So (other than bands), it doesnt matter which variant of the phone I start with.

    Global vs China

    I know what bands are supported from the specs. but if a ROM can indeed change that, then I have no idea. That's a question for the ROM developer.

    Global vs China

    I thought I read a different post that that the ROM had nothing to do with the band coverage? If it is changeable, I'd be very interested to know what options I have for which bands? In the US, it doesn't have the greatest coverage. For example, in the US, it would be ideal to have...

    Is there a list of apps that are known to not work? Is thee a list of "quirks"? I know there is a bugs forum but it is hard to filter on what applies to the 13 Ultra and what is major vs minor. I'm also interested in the 13U but I am concerned about having to use a custom rom. I keep having...

    Xiaomi 13 Ultra global edition bands are very limited

    Did you end up getting the 13 Ultra? How does it work on Tmobile. I was looking into this as well and the china version might work better as it has LTE band 12 (but not 2 or 66). If I recall, for Tmobile 12 and 71 and pretty important so at least having 12 should help. For 5G n71 is pretty...
