Chinese OnePlus 11 units are apparently region-locked

12 February 2023
This might actually be a new policy affecting Oppo and Realme devices as well.

      Although I do wish they make phones more modular & give the customer the choice of software ROM

      My common complaints
      Lack of sd card slot headphones jack & removable battery

      Am not very good at sugar coating this I can see technology is going downhill they sure don't make phones like they used too

        I think it be a good idea too find a way too support Chinese phones as regional locks don't benefit anyone

        How well do Chinese phones without the Google app store work in the UK

            Just need to show the china export receipt to local oppo service center and they will help you to unlock it, after confirmation.

              the first step they make the company dying, but maybe they don't mind it because it's BBK Electronics.

                          1. Tax / import fee
                          2. Space rental
                          3. Local salary

                          Quality standard/difference depend on local regulations.
                          Ex. Indonesia and India force for made in Indonesia/ made in india.
                          And they force the manufacturer to have at least certain level of local content (in Indonesia is 40%)
                          So, in Indonesia & India, they will choose components/parts that made in Indonesia/India as much as possible such as screen, speaker, perhaps battery.

                          Other places such as china, Vietnam, Brazil were chosen by manufacturer because the manufacturer want to build there (low cost, high quality). In these region doesn't have rule like India/Indonesia thus the quality usually high.

                                    They all can't use the "original" material. If the equivalent (same model from different company) exist, they can't use the imported version. They *WERE OBLIGATED* to use the local made version.
