Usually suppliers Hong Kong add an adapter that fits your outlet. Suppliers from China - don't. These kind of adapters are not expensive and should be available in your local electric store.

While we sell only factory-network unlocked devices, they might support different 4G/5G frequencies. We usually list these frequencies in product questions. If not - you may ask us about them. It's wise to compare these frequencies with yours's carrier frequencies to check compatibility of your phone with your carrier. There are also some pages that do this automatically, but please be sure that you choose proper variant of the device to compare. Some devices comes even in 4 or more 4G/5G frequencies variants. Choosing un proper variant for your country sometimes don't have negative effect at all, some devices can be unlocked for more 4G/5G frequencies at your local 3rd party GSM service, and some will just have more poor coverage comparing to proper-variant ones.

This question is not that simple, and answer on it changes with the time and device you are asking about, so it's best to ask about concrete device using contact form on product page "ask a question"

Overall answer is:
For most of the Global rom devices like Asus, Oneplus, Nubia, Motorola everything should work fine - for some - Xiaomi - not everything. Financial applications can not fully work on Xiaomi, as they require device to be locked. Due to the Global rom installation process, Xiaomi devices need to be unlocked first. Applications like Google Pay will detect that device is unlocked. You may still apply patch to make such applications work after unlocking, but it requires some technical knowledge - we can sent you manual for most popular applications. Another way to get financial applications work is revert your device to it's original rom.

  • Global (Multilanguage + Google Apps) applied over original
    In this version, you are receiving Asian specific item with applied Global rom on it. Depending on the device, it'll be not having difference between Native Global variant and variant with Global rom installed (except 4G, 5G bands), but on some devices you may be unable to use ex. financial applications that requires device to be locked (ex. Xiaomi)
  • Global (Multilanguage + Google Apps) no OTA- the same as one mentioned upper, but it'll lack OTA update functionality (Update Over the Air)
  • Chinese (English + Chinese languages, possible Google Apps)
    This is pure Asian version of the device, contains 2 languages only, may contain some 3rd party Chinese apps that can be un-installed after. In most of the scenarios, you can install Google Apps on it without any problem. In some scenarios, installation is possible but not easy (ex. Huawei)
  • Original China Multilanguage (possible Google Apps)
    This is pure Asian version of the device, contains some international languages to choose unlocked by producer.  In most of the scenarios, you can install Google Apps on it without any problem.
  • Global NATIVE version
    This is Global installed by device producer version, will have many languages (it depends on the device how many) and should have natively installed Google Apps. B

If your device comes with unmodified rom, it'll not be rooted, either bootloader unlocked. If your device is modified Asian device with multilanguage rom. Such kind of modification allows use you exotic, more cheap device in your language/country, but it's less secure, especially if it'll be stolen. Also, rooting or bootloader unlocking may disable some functions of banking apps. Bludiode.com is not responsible for any data loss due to this fact. 

If your device comes with unmodified rom, it'll have OTA updates. If your device is modified Asian device with multilanguage rom, you'll need to ask our staff if device preserved OTA functionality

In our website we are selling both devices with Asian only roms that contains only few or even 2 languages (English and Chinese) and devices with multilanguage roms that include all most popular languages.

OTA is shortcut from Over-the-Air. These are automatic system updates your device download automatically, and user doesn't need to make complex steps to update his device's operating system

OTA updates are most likely going to work in most of the devices bought at our website and they should not change system sate ex. removing multi-language and google apps.

However, there are devices where OTA will not work, we usually inform about it on the product page, in the "ROM" section. If you'll not be able to make automatic updates, you may always try to make manual system update, which may require some skills or tools (ex. ADB) installed on your computer. It may also remove system customisations installed before ex. multi-language support. For more info you may ask us a question from product page.

NFC will most likely work on the most of the devices bought on our website. 

Exception are some, but not all, devices sold with unlocked bootloader, due to Global rom installation ex. Xiaomi. Some other devices with Global rom installed on original rom, and unlocked bootloader shouldn't have problems with NFC payments - ex. Realme devices. Root can also cause NFC banking applications not work, but our store in current time don't sell rooted devices at all (state for January 2024).

If you have doubts if your device will have NFC payments working you should ask us every time by product questions available at product page or checks questions of the other customers at the bottom of the product page.
