1 . I'm currently using a xiaomi tablet which he Xiaomi Pad 7 pro. The set is 12 + 256 GB and brought from China.
2. Currently I have noticed a few different from the global version.
A) even if I install WhatsApp on it, the notification will be delayed by a few hours before I get a notification.
B) the AI does not integrate with Gemini, it is a Xiaomi standalone HyperOS AI. It is always expecting me to speak in Mandarin.
C) initially the Google map doesn't work at all, I actually have to turn on the some settings that actually improve the map feature, asuccessfully it turn on successfully.
D) They are using Getapps, sometimes the application installation can actually override my Google Play installation. This may not be actually a good thing because, some of the application actually asked me to use the global version, e.g Wechat when making payment.
e) if I want to contact their customer service this is okay however I need to call +86-950817, even my international roaming actually does not support this.
F) I'm also currently looking at, NFC feature, however the phone seems to be missing the feature.

Yes, WhatsApp delay is pretty common issue, have you check your battery saving/restriction settings
Yup, no integration with Gemini.
It's known for CN set to have some issues with GPS IIRC.
You can disable "GetApps" by revoking it's rights in the setting IIRC.
Try contacting SG's CS then, but doubt they support China set.
Which phones that you are looking at has NFC missing? I believe nowadays almost all/most should have NFC capabilities

From Google Search, yes, there's NFC for both CN & Global sets.

Exactly, Apple has been earning crazy margins in markets outside of US and subsidising their internal market. MAGA!
Too bad, I already got mine.

Clause seems to indicate as long as it can be serviced in a specific country by apple - apple will cover it.

If the product is portable, meaning that it can operate independently without a power cord, you may obtain warranty service worldwide.

No idea why people would go for such a large tablet with a lower end MediaTek Helio G99 CPU. Maybe only for content consumption.
