bought from the seller on Sunday (3 July), received it yesterday. confirmed genuine but it's from Mi China. the phone came with Google Playstore, and all other standard Mi apps. I think it's pretty worth it!
Global rom or China rom ?

this phone don't have NFC, cannot use Android pay

Base on my understanding, it does have NFC, But not sure why it is not listed. Also, base on the chinese catalog I had, battery is 3500mA. Also more frequency band covered vs Xiaomi Mi5 only 3 for FDD.

Anyway, not sure which banks accept Android pay yet.

PS. Take note rmb1799 is 4G+64G version.

The other day I was trying the android pay at NTUC but keep failing. After that I check online and it appear I have to wake the phone (maybe need to unlock) to use the nfc.

Actually not sure if these NFC is phone dependant.
Saw in China, most people use QR code eg Wechat pay or AliPay. Even accept payment (fund transfer) between 2 persons by just scanning QR code.

With all these payment system. one may want to be extra careful when you need to send in your phone for servicing, or even loan your phone to someone.

do a search in this thread or
apply unlock, wait for 2 days, unlock bootloader, download global fastboot and flash it with miflash.

thanks for the reply. I actually managed to flash to global rom using a trick i found online using the chinese Mi PC suite.
My phone was doing funny things like sending my bro skype request and there's funny ads on the lockscreen etc, so guys beware when u buy. The distributor rom was about 1 gig more than the official one with some werid things running in the background.
the phone not bad lei. I paid $409 at lazada for the black version, $20 off using DBS credit card and shopback will supposedly give me $15 off ( with another $5 when i register the phone app) , so like $372. Sure its not a samsung s7, but it's half the price. I am happy.
