Good question. I m sure DRM would gone.
But since Chinese is really just AOSP. I m havent lost any functionality.

To be Tested:
Pair dualshock 4 game pad
HDMI input as Display

Camera seems OK. And encrypt phone And encrypt tf card works fine.

So what feature Other?

Hi everyone, this is my first post here on Xda,
I seem to have committed a costly mistake since this is not available in India, in a hurry i bought the Japanese version of this phone, the S0-51B,which incidentally is a single sim variant. Is there anyway of I can flash this Chinese Rom and achieve Dual Sim?

I saw online that there is not much hardware difference between this and the Chinese version. Can anyone kindly confirm this?.
