I'm using the Vivo X100 with China rom now.Specs wise, 17 Max is better. Just that you ok with china rom?
The only annoying thing is the delayed notification for messaging apps (except for WeChat). Not a deal breaker though. I managed to resolve it on the Vivo X100 though.
Still have not decided if I wanna get the Xiaomi 17 Max. My Vivo X100 is still working well after 2.5 years.
Only gian to get cos of the camera and because we are going to leave China for good. So might as well get a 'good' phone for a cheaper price before we leave.
