Thinking of upgrading the laundry rack at home soon and currently looking around at different options.
For those who’ve upgraded their laundry racks before, what made the biggest difference for you? Any brands or setups you’d honestly recommend?
I'm looking at those "cheap" export sets in local stores (Sim Lim/Far East) for the Oppo Find X9 Pro, OnePlus 15, and Xiaomi 17 Ultra. The price gap between the China ROM and official Global is huge, but I need the truth from people who actually bought them.
For those using "Flashed Global ROM" units in SG:
The L1/L3 Disaster: Did your unit come with Widevine L1 (HD Netflix) or did it drop to L3 (480p) because the bootloader was unlocked for the flash?
Banking Apps: Are PayLah, DBS, and Google Wallet working, or does the "Device not certified" status in the Play Store kill them after a week?
The Update Trap: Are you actually getting OTA updates, or is the phone stuck on the version the shop flashed?
eSIM: I know China hardware is physical Dual-SIM only, but does the flashed Global ROM even show an eSIM option in settings (even if it doesn't work)?
For those on the Original China ROM:
I'm trying to confirm if these local stores are just selling tampered L3 units that will brick on the next update. Give me the real experience, no theories.
