Title: No Regrets! Everything is Just Perfect!
Review: I have no regrets purchasing this phone! The space is just right! It uses dual SIM and it has a independent slot for a memory card. The camera is perfect! So clear and beautiful. It charges very quickly and the battery lasts for the entire day. Value for my money!

Title: Great Phone but Could Not Detect Sim Card
Review: I initially purchased this phone to replace my Mi 9T. This seemed like a perfect replacement. The phone was responsive and probably had more than enough resources for my use case and this is coming from someone who has used the Mi9T for 5 years without issue.Unfortunately, the phone refused to detect my SIM card no matter which SIM slot was used. There was no issues with the SIM as it worked perfectly in other phones and I even tried other SIMs just in case. I noticed that there was an error report that popped up regularly especially when in use and also when trying to access the SIM settings. I confirmed the serial number on Xioami site that the phone was indeed global unlocked. I did contact Xiaomi global support on this and while they were helpful, I had to return the phone.I purchased another thinking that the initial phone I got had a hardware defect but the second phone I purchased had the same exact issue with the same error report that pops up. There was a notice card packaged with the second phone that instructs you to add the APN manually if the network is not detected. The problem is that the SIM card and Mobile Network option is unable to open once a SIM is inserted. It is able to open if the SIM is removed but then all the options are greyed out so you can’t add the APN manually. At this point I didn’t bother contacting support and just initiated the return process with Amazon.This became pretty frustrating as this process has already crossed a month as an international customer. I had gotten pretty accustomed to the Xiaomi interface but I am now hesitant to purchase another Xiaomi phone at least at this time for fear of the same issue. The phone felt great and responsive when I had it, so hopefully it can be fixed through a firmware/software update in the future. I don’t like leaving bad reviews but the two phones I got were basically unusable due to the issue I encountered.One last thing to add, the packaging seems to be a bit inconsistent. The first phone came with a car charger and UK-US power adapter literally taped to the box but then the second phone did not come with the adapter but only the car charger. I did see some review complaints of not receiving the adapter so I just wanted to make mention of it.

Title: Does not work properly with Tmobile/Metro (20yrs in wireless)
Review: L@@K! Tmobile/Metro does not work on this device, unless you spend all your time in Canada. Without getting too technical, the 12s is NOT certified in the U.S., and as such, it doesn’t work properly. The device works on 5 out of 15 bands in the LTE space, and 4 of those 5 are in Canada, so that leaves just 1 band for your device to use, and unfortunately that band is not the primary one used in most cities. No amount of *#*#4636#*#* adjustments will fix the fact that the device is not certified to be used in the U.S. as a “Home” device with a “PRL” meaning Preferred Roaming List. Here’s what the device does. It tries to register as a certified device where you are, but then it tries to connect using only one compatible band which is a legacy band, and it’s primary use in the U.S. is to facilitate some Global users the availability to communicate here using their phone from South America, Canada, etc. The problem is the 12s is trying to say its in the home area, and the network is then trying to see if the device is certified, which it isn’t, so it assigns a roaming profile to the device. That causes the device and the network to argue all of the time, and some people think forcing VoLTE will fix it, which it sort of does, but only briefly. You will have horrible data speeds akin to 3g or 2g, and you will drop calls, data, and very often the entire radio of the handset will just stop, because the network will just say “No!” Then you can try the Airplane mode, and the key combination above, but the reality is the network will just reset every 30 minutes, and the device will register again, and the process starts all over. Needless to say, you can choose to believe me or not, but I’m currently in the return process, and it’s probably going to be a struggle, considering they should know they’re literally saying the product works with Tmobile/Metro, and in fact it doesn’t have the radio or certification to do so.
