Looking to buy a QIN

Hi, from what I understand, there are three types of Qins. Blue, black, and gray. I saw some sites sell the black non kosher one which is said to work in the US. My questions:

  • does it actually work in the US?

  • If yes, how? Because as discussed here, flashing usa bands doesn’t make it work it needs to be in the hardware and only the kosher ones have the right hardware

  • Where is the cheapest I can find a black qin?

As discussed here, it does make it work in the US.

The Qin F21 Pro flashed with US bands works in the US, just not very well or reliably, but many in America are using this as their main phone.

When you see someone selling a USA Qin F21 Pro, this is what they’re selling.

Or you can purchase the TIQ M5 phone which is very similar to the QIN were the physical hardware is built for the USA

I purchased one on ali flashed it and it kept on loosing service every few minutes

Probably CDMA-LESS issue with Verizon
