Current price is $209.

good info. Today is 17/9, unless XM play Out-of-stock game, your set shd be on the way. Sealed set Finer (?), no need to load playstore and can send out sooner. How do you intend to solve the playstore (since global/india/EU ROM not available)?

China rom also can install playstore.

Then am I correct to say that RMN8 on China ROM installing gapps to run like normal Android phones in Singapore, is the same as Mipad4 also on China ROM installing gapps???

Yup, should work the same way as Mi Pad 4.

Like how note 7 pro is ONLY for India and China, don't assume till the product is launched global.

Yes but the fact that a Redmi device with NFC has been cleared by IMDA means there's quite a high chance Note 8 Pro is coming.

Really hope they can bring in both the RMN8/Pro to sg this time ard.

previously they only launch India and Tiong market for the RMN7Pro ver, leaving only the RMN7 (and MI9T/Pro for those who prefer more "premium" Redmis) for sg/global market.

:(

There's nfc on the rmn8pro, does it work for credit card payment?
It's got no dedicated memory card slot right

There is a hybrid memory card slot, which shares the SIM 2 card slot. Only tested with CEPAS cards so far, NFC works in reading them.

Good updates from those pioneers. NFC makes N8pro very interesting. What method did you used to load google services & playstore? Understand some do side load, some use china appstore to load, which is preferred?
