Any dual SIM phone that has dedicated microsd, NFC and ufs storage?

xiaomi only offers ufs on higher end models, which never had sdcard slots. the first thing i thought of that has those is the asus zenfone 6, but it could be too expensive for your budget. after a bit of searching it seems that the galaxy a50 and a70 might also fit the bill, but u need to be extra careful since not every unit has nfc (market dependent feature).

honestly ufs isnt that big of a deal anyway.

Go for the Pro if you want to game.

Does anyone of you have this problem where Night Light (I'm not referring to Reading Mode) gets turned on automatically every night but there doesn't seem to be anything in Settings to disable it?

I suspect this feature was carried over when I set up the 8T to restore from my Pixel 2 XL backup on Google Drive. On that phone I have Night Light scheduled for 11.00pm and turned off at 7am next day.

I'm considering getting this phone.
May I know the difference between local set, export set(global rom) and export set(rom not stated) ?

Is local set specs different from export set(global rom)?

If I'm not worried about warranty, should I just buy the export set(global rom) for the savings ?

Ya Macdonalds app also cannot use if your bootloader is unlocked. I had a redmi note 5 pro china set flashed to global rom. Bye bye mac app.

Hmmmm bro, I bought the 8 pro Eu global rom set last oct @ 335.

What I don’t understand is why are you all buying export china set for 30-40 bucks saving and then 1) complains of gps, ram management, nfc not working 2) unlock the boot loader and flash to global rom

Why not just buy export set eu global rom and be done with it.

We bro in this forum usually buy export China set is 1) want to be the early adopters when phone 1st launched in China 2) the China set is not coming to Asia market 3) experience some features that is specific to China phones at that time

cos when xiaomi phone first out it will be China export set first ..after that den eu global ROM export set.but it hard to make sure is official global export set cos most seller will unlock the bootloader and flash the global ROM for u.if u dun use those APP is OK to buy export set with bootloader unlock.

I'm looking through a few purchase sources like Carousell & Shoppee.

There seems to be so many varieties:- i) Local set with EiN sticker on box, ii) Export set with Global rom, iii) Global Eu set , iv) Global Rom set imported from China.

If I'm not concerned about warranty but I want a full fledged Global rom set that can work for ALL Playstore Apps, can I just go for the Global rom imported sets? How do i know that they are not unlocked bootloader set?
