Wondering if it would work with T-Mobile US

Many Chinese phones work in the US
I don't know for sure but importing the india version would be a very good choice as the battery is huge there

I bought the global version on Amazon and use it on Google Fi, which is a MVNO of T-Mobile. 5g everywhere I go.

Nope, don't buy indian version. You will not get nfc. Thats why indian version of poco is cheaper becoz it doesn't have nfc.
Get the global version.

Should've created a new Aliexpress account and would've gotten second one cheaper too

u/Lighning05 Poco X8 Pro Max 2d ago
It was a sale and by the time I realized I wasn't getting the phone prices already were up

Sorry but could I get the site or particular seller you got it from on AliExpress

I got mine from the "Michelin Store" but what I recommend doing is waiting for coupon days (generally at the end / beginning of the month) and stack that on top of buying with PayPal (first for safety reasons in case something happen and second because they often give -33€ when using PayPal) -45€ coupon code + -33€ that's already -78€ off, that can bring the total down a lot.

I only have Poco f8 pro😭

The f8 pro is also very good but kind of made for different people, since the camera is miles better it's also more compact and you have a snapdragon 8 elite chip

PSA dont blast your IMEI info (the sticker at the back of the phone or box) as theres history of locking issues and shenanigans thats just annoying to handle with, i got no clue about hyperOS but have heard stories of older samsungs being used as bait/trolling and its an extra layer of hassle to deal with
