    Buying an Mi 8 in China - can I use it regularly in Europe?

    I bought mine from China and I live in the Netherlands, no issues so far. I unlocked the bootloader the moment I got the phone and straight away installed Xiaomi EU rom. I totally recommend this phone!

    ARCore and mi8 "your device doesn't support ar"

    ARCore and mi8 "your device doesn't support ar"

    Greetings Has anyone been able to run AR apps on Mi8? I've noticed that its ROMs come with ARCore app which gets updated regularly via play store, but whenever I download an AR app, it shows a popup that the device doesn't support AR. I'm pretty sure it does since it uses same SoC as other...

    Do IPS displays burn in? Can you post a photo of the screen? I want to see it out of curiosity. I also have mi5 but I've never seen its screen burn in, neither my OnePlus one's screen (both have IPS panels)
