    If you bought it outside of China that might be a thing, for Chinese phones it shows a cancel button only. There is a confirm button, but it’s greyed out and not clickable.

      So I bought it from giztop, they take the Chinese version of the phone, get the Google play store on there and get it set to English, plus a couple other things, so that it’s easier for you to get started with. I bought this because I had thought they’d make a global version and I could flash that rom when that happened, and only deal with some Chinese sections of the phone for a short while, but for some reason they didn’t with this specific phone, they did for the 14 ultra.

      I busted the phone out again to see the popup I was talking about, but actually one of the (semi) recent updates made it so the buttons are english. I am allowed to just install things with a few pop-up warnings and the phone does some kind of check. I wonder if it’s because it’s an “unlocked” phone (I don’t know if it’s the same in China where a carrier locks the phone to their network and has their own shit installed if you buy it from them) or what.

      Either way, interesting.
