In Europe, where I live, I have not heard of such a case so far, because it would be a reputational damage to the merchant.
People, who have directly purchased phones from China, write here. This forum is followed by thousands and at least here it must have been shared, that someone has already been scammed by this chinese "Excel table".

ulzzang, 05 May 2025Perhaps due to patent issues, VIVO China and international versions use different systems. If ... moreMaybe but even at 1500 or 1490 price of Xiaomi 15 Ultra honestly its cheaper than S25 Ultra or upcomming Apple 17 air or pro max and is way better it have more flagship specs and one more extra flagship grade camera.
Samsung and Apple are midtrrangers compared to Xiaomi 15 Ultra in terms of specs.
Yes they use best CPU and GPU on the martket but pther specs are not so flagship grade.

Android auto works without a problem. I'm writing this from X100U :) greetings to old pseudo-photo smartphones like Samsung, iPhone and similar ;)

My opinion about Vivo is based on the video reviews I've seen, and there the difference is very obvious - in favor of Vivo.
Whether I'll become a Vivo fanboy will be seen, when I buy the X200 Ultra. You convinced me to buy it.
The iPhone can compete with Vivo only in night video, shot only with the main camera. The advantage in the other cameras is in favor of Vivo.

Some banking apps doesn;t work. In case of Oneplus 13 one must root phone to use it, because there is no CN->EU converter. Again buying fro chinese stores is like buying car without wheels.

Imagine luxury car available only... moreThe european youtube reviewers of the X200 Ultra either received the phone temporarily to do a test (sent by Vivo) or bought it personally, mostly from Tradingshenzhen. I'm sure GSMARENA will also do a review of the Vivo. Its reviewers are located in Sofia, Bulgaria- EU.
The TECHTABLETS reviewer is a Brit, living with his family in Spain. He said that he has already chosen the Vivo X200 Ultra as his permanent phone for everyday use. He said, that the X200 Ultra has two problems in Europe, that are minor for him - the chinese bloatware (which he has minimized "by 99%") and the warranty - if a part of the phone breaks (such as the display), he has to purchase that part from China. But there is a solution to this problem - it is called an insurance contract.
The X200U now has Android Auto, even for the missing eSIM there is a solution - eSIM adapters work in Vivo
