Is there any word on whether that is true for european region phones as well? From what I remember they disabled certain functionality like Face Unlock in the EU. Not sure if it was due to privacy or patents, but given the GDPR I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to privacy.

- solarkraft 7y agoOh! That explains why my F1 has such good ROM support, it was a major reason for buying it (another one is cheap replacement parts). They still disrespect ROM users: You have to go through a convoluted process involving Windows software and a Xiaomi account AND wait 3 days to unlock the phone - but that's way down from the 6 weeks I've read about on other Xiaomis, so you can be sure I'm not going to buy one of those.
- em-bee 7y agothe delay appears to be random. my first one was 3 days, my second was more than a week until just a day before the person that i wanted to give the phone to was leaving.
- JetSpiegel 7y agoThe worse part is requiring a SIM card on the phone the whole time, hoovering your IMEI and phone number in the process.
