The way they started banning asian companies its telling me that. First Huawei now Xiaomi, next might be OnePlus or even Samsung, who knows l, theyre a Korean company. But guess what us, even if you do that, Ill still use asian phones, Im not wasting my money on your iphones and pixels.

last year I ordered "K20 pro premium Edition" - the sender sent me the chinese version by mistake and ebay didn't let me contact him - I just installed GMS and choose english language
Will I have a problem if I update to 12.5 ? it is a chinese version but has snapdragon 855+

Anonymous, 04 Feb 2021And who's the biggest contributor on the Android AOSP?... morei think us is playing with fire.
this situation can very quickly escalte and at the end google could be the big looser.
if huaweeis os is any good gooogle should be worried.
we allready have xiaomi and huawei without google if samsung decides to go in that direction
which is very likely then google has a problem

wongwatt, 04 Feb 2021Yes, bit Xiaomi's release schedule is ridiculous. The... moreIt simple, and when people have the argument that the 'cost' of the phone, should not includes distribution. And this is what happens. It better than you can't buy, rather than with limit availability, and one accidental drop, and you'll be month without a phone finding very difficult to get genuine replacement parts.

SomeInfo, 04 Feb 2021Chinese ROM doesn't have official Google framework, so... moreAnd who's the biggest contributor on the Android AOSP? That right, still Google. Just because it open-source, it does not mean license free or free to abuse. They can just be thankful that US hasn't sanction Github for them, yet.

I'm very confused with all this. I read elsewhere that Global versions will not be affected by it. I have a Redmi note 9 with MIUI Global 12, also with pre-installed GMS. So, will I be affected??

Nick Tegrataker, 03 Feb 2021That's why you never buy the Chinese variant of phones... moreYes, bit Xiaomi's release schedule is ridiculous.
They didn't even give us the Mi10 Pro here in the UK and neither their German nor French arm would ship to a UK postcode.
Then they further that by keeping the Ultra in China.

That's the end of all those import fans with their " you can just download Google on to it"
It's a real shame but it looks like the anti-competitive moves from the US government are not over yet.
