After a *long* (LOOOONNNNG) wait, I finally got the Qin2 Pro 64GB
It is absolutely awesome for what it is. It has the Global ROM (Android 9, March 2019).
For those wondering how that affects battery life, I believe it doesn't as I am experiencing awesome battery life with the all the caveat of a typical xiaomi ROM (overly aggressive in killing apps, what before you hit the 2GB Ram limit)
One observation and an extreme disappointment: Everywhere I read, it said it has dual band Wifi, but that is not the case. Only 2.4Ghz Wifi is supported.
Camera is 13MP, but quality so far has been so terrible that I trained myself to assume it doesn't exist: focus hunts but locks on an invisible ghost that is always standing between you and the subject of your picture.
I have installed Smart Keyboard Pro as it offers a full keyboard, a Compact Keyboard (blackberry half-qwerty predictive keyboard) and a T9 keyboard. switch simply by swiping up on keyboard. pretty awesome.
For Launcher, I would really love to have the Qin2 Launcher, but for now, I am using the Launcher 10 which is awesome for tall screens (after little customization). Here are some screen shots:

Anyone can share the Qin2 launcher? all links I found so far to download it are broken.
