It will still work in Europe it's just you get a worse signal and sometimes no 4g in rural areas due to the lack of band 20. For me personally it is a drawback when travelling from China to Europe. If I was living in Europe I'd definitely go for the global model if getting this phone

Most mobile carrier will not have a sim card that will work with the phone but some do. T-mobile work just fine with this phone based on the spec sheet. So relax, its not the end of the world.

CamoGeko-XDA, 23 Feb 2024What's the point of having bands that they don't ... moreAll other Chinese brands have full European band coverage in their Chinese flagships though. Many Chinese people travel to other countries for business and holidays. Also China has huge numbers of students studying abroad for example in the UK. These would benefit from wider band coverage. Paying more for a flagship you would expect to have more bands so that you can use it with better coverage when travelling

Just wait for global release and buy it without the hassle with global rom already installed.

Global model is suitable for Europe (but not US). They purposely limit bands on the Chinese version for this reason. I wouldn't want to be a Chinese tourist overseas traveling and lose connectivity, that's for sure. Don't know why they do this....

Whether the device is great or not, what decides the purchase is availability. If you're about to buy one, just go get what's available in your locale.
Or if you really wanna buy this, I'd rather suggest you to import it from China itself. Don't worry about it because they're not carrier locked & you can use your local sim without issues. Will also cost you much less including shipping.
The only extra thing you need to do, is slap EU rom on it. Get it from it's sourceforge page. The codename is "Houji". I believe everything works on EU roms just like official global ones. No chinese bloatware.
Or if you're a techie nerd, you can even slap an AOSP on it like GSI, or building yourself a lineage ROM.

The green colour looks amazing! I hope it's available on release.
This phone is amazing size too, I would choose the Xiaomi 14 over Pixel 8. By the way guys if you go to the Mi Store app you can get a £50 off voucher to get this device when it's released on the 25th of February. I have done it already and can't wait!
This phone will be the Samsung Galaxy S24 killer. Mark my words!!

notafanboy, 13 Feb 2024So you buy phones based on what their brand is? Typical consoomerNo, no, it's that this phone is just not good value for money, and that Samsung and Apple offer much better phones at the exact same price point as the Xiaomi 14.

It is undoubtedly a great phone, but at least in Europe you see very few of them, In Europe the Xiaomi 14 should cost around 1000 euros, too expensive, at this price 90% of people buy Samsung or iPhone.

notafanboy, 13 Feb 2024So you buy phones based on what their brand is? Typical consoomerNo, but if I have 1000 euros for phone, wouldn't I go for company that has better support and build quality and costs the same?
You go for the worst one only to be "different" ?

To all guys who can't buy this bugger in your country, it's because of the geopolitical issues. You might notice some pattern here that chinese phones (BBK) mostly sell only select models that too at higher price point.
Take the example of India. They already started building manufacturing facilities inhouse. Many other brands taking advantage of this, such as Lava, IQoo, etc.
I expected this'll happen & will be even worse in the future, especially for the rest of the Chinese business.
I currently still daily drive Redmi Note 10, bl unlocked, rooted, Pixel Experience. Still runs like a Pixel 7 clone. I like small phones. If I buy again, my next phone would probably be Pixel 7 or 8 (probably for rooting purposes). I can't use my phone unrooted.
