Hi, I'm from France, I have the 15 pro from China and no problems with only the bootloader can't be unlocked outside China

@jejemc Hi and thanks for the feedback, I also live in France and I'm on the fence about buying a Xiaomi 15. I have no issue with the phone having english menus etc, my only concern is:

- Google pay
- Streaming platforms like netflix etc, do they run in max resolution?
- Banking apps like boursorama

If you could tell me if these work I would be grateful, thank you

I'm also planning to get one. But for all I can see, Xiaomi no longer supporting getting your device bootloader unlocked. It was due to their government order. So I guess this is it? Will surely not be paying people insane amount to unlock my bootloader. Even 10$ is too much! It was free!

I know this is off-topic: do you receive notifications well? I have tried to alter all notifications settings, allowing just about everything and turning off all battery savers, do-not-disturb etc ... but especially WhatsApp notifications will not show reliably

Do you have the Google Play Store? I can't download anything on my Xiaomi 15.

I do. I bought mine from TradingShenzhen. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Go to apkmirror.com. Search for Google Playstore, download, do not take a bundle APK, install. Please post in English, otherwise it may be deleted.

Take Chrome Browser to search for apkmirror.com . Not xiaomi Browser

I can't use the Chrome browser on my phone

Use GetApps on the device and search for the Playstore. Download, done. Don't confuse with "Our Play".
