I am gonna buy this phone today. Are there any risks associated with buying a CN ROM flashed to Global?

I don't intend to reflash it back to CN nor downgrade the OS, I am aware of the cons (such as no e-sim, missing bandwidths, no HD for streaming apps, etc.).

But what I am asking is if there will be risks when there are new OTA updates in the future that "might" be incompatible with flashed Global ROM, is there a chance that it will brick the phone or even make security patches be vulnerable/ create bugs?

There are no available CN and online stores are not eligible since this is just a company reimbursement so it should go through an authorized seller here. Global ROM is available but they have this price difference, Global ROM and flashed to Global have price difference of converted to 146.42 USD which is huge for a 3rd world country POV.

Madaming nagsasabi na 'wag magresign if wala pang pinirmahan na JO, Pero paano kung notice period is 2 months? May makakapaghintay bang company sa ganon?

pwede po ba magtanong about sa AHH's Xiaomi Manila?

Gusto ko lang makita/maconfirm if yung receipt po ba is may mga ganito?

- Name ko

- Date of Purchase

- Product Name/Amount

- ito pinaka important, VAT/TIN number nila

For company reimbursement po kasi, gusto ko makasigurado po bago ako mag-order, thank you po.

I'm eyeing for Oneplus 15, Oppo x9 Pro, Vivo X300 Pro, Xiaomi 17 Pro, Samsung S15 Ultra, Pixel 10/Pro... however, they all have "downsides".

About me:
- I don't game a lot, just casual games

- I will use it for doom scrolling, watching.

- Camera! including the selfie cam, pls I luv taking pictures.

- I prefer huge battery for outdoors when I commute/travel/walking and most likely will be direct to sunlight/splashes from rain, while using google maps.

- Something durable that I can just throw on my bed and can take drops to floor like a king.

- Gonna use for 4-5 years.

- Also, when applicable, I'll choose CN rom since this is much way cheaper.

- I live in Philippines and won't travel abroad soon, if that helps.

Oneplus 15 - this is the all-rounder phone, some ppl say camera is downgrade, is it really true? can I see sample raw shots? I've read that oneplus company is now discontinuing and will merge with Realme, so I guess this is a big negative news if ever I bought op15? idk.

Oppo x9 pro - I almost ordered one, however, I did a bit more research and I've seen a lot of pictures here in reddit where output is heavily processed with AI, it became ai slops.

Vivo x300 pro - I guess this is good, but some redditors said vivo isn't that snappy to use unlike Oneplus 15, and the battery is lesser.

Xiaomi 17 Pro - not sure, but xiaomi phones doesn't age well, I have redmi note 9 pro and redmi note 13 pro 5g, after just 2-3 years they lag and overheats much, camera degrades that fast too.

Samsung S15 ultra- is this still prone to greenline issues? 5k battery?? nah, it feels like Samsungs are overpriced, tho they said that samsungs ages well.

Pixel 10/Pro - I like the camera output, but the battery again...

PLS if possible, comment raw camera output, my head hurts from thinking too much already. Recommend other phones if you have something in mind.

Question:

Please provide the most solid answer you can give and backup as to Why Jehovah’s Witnesses are not the True Religion. (I know we can never be completely certain which religion, especially with thousands of religions around the world, but you get my point.)

Context:

When we first got together, she was a Jehovah’s Witness but not very religious, while I am Roman Catholic and also not very religious. I tried attending and studying on her religion for months. I was genuinely happy and satisfied, the people are incredibly kind. They help each other, look out for one another, and are some of the most humble and down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. They’re also very understanding. There were times when I fell asleep in the Kingdom Hall while sitting in the front row, and they never said anything negative or even woke me up, even though it happened multiple times. There were times I hide from one of the JWs that visits me on my house when I feel like not studying and he never took it as offensive nor said anything or mentioned wrong (he walks many kilometers just to get to my house).

Despite all that, something didn’t feel right, and I couldn’t quite explain why. I felt lost, so I gradually stopped attending, just like she did at the time.

Now, fast forward: she has returned and become very religious, while I am still the same. She is about to get baptized in the next few days, after only a few months of coming back. I didn’t expect things to move this quickly.

While we were talking about what our future might become because of the sudden changes, she just can’t directly say it, but I know she may feel forced to “let things be” if I don’t try to learn and know about Jehovah. She could even be at risk of being disfellowshipped. She really wants me to be with her as she mentioned many times while crying.

EDIT:
Please don't attack her, she's just an innocent and lost person, she's really so kind and all. She was depressed for years and had to off herself many times, now that she became religious, she's entirely different, she's happy, and I am really happy for her. I tried to ask her if marriage of baptized JW and a person from other religion is allowed, she said unfortunately it is prohibited.
