            Throw the global version in and it's flawless.

            There doesn't appear to be any way to get around this which is a shame.

              Can GSMArena reviewers start testing if such China phones will also work well for Android Auto? I don't seem to see any reviewer on various platforms checking this but Android Auto is an important point for car owners with modern headunits or media interface. Thanks!

                edit: even time stamp in your GSMarena reply is using that date logic, are you gonna ask GSMarena to change it?

                  I liked the fact that the MMF2 had no inside camera. If only the MMF3 had no inside camera or an underscreen camera. I can live without the no "global" issue, been rocking the MMF2 and not being a global model is not a "deal breaker" to me.

                    So they lose money offering their fold series internationally.

                    Hence they cannot justify selling it abroad.

It probably is the optimization because the Z is keeping pace with foldables that have larger batteries and GSM typically does their tests early. I doubt these results reflect what people are getting after the battery learns their use pattern. That's why I think 300-400 mah would do wonders for the duration. I'm not sure how they will do that while making the phone slimmer. I have not heard a peep from Samsung about battery innovation.

                        It's like the folks over at Samsung SDI are getting paid to do nothing.

                          The biggest problem with this phone is that it has NO IPX rating. Imagine having your 2000€ phone die from a drop of water in the wrong place..

                            Love the design, unlike the ugly Samsung F5 , with curved sides . This is contemporary monolithic.

                            Definitely buying this.

                                What is Xiaomi's problem

                                Why won't they bring these phones and sell them outside China ?!
