Do you happen to know when will they release it or have it up for pre-order?

No idea, wouldn't hold your breath as they have only just got around to putting up the m3s.

a question: in addition to the case, do you also think about a protective film for the screen?

@Shanling - I hope you plan on including a screen protector, and pre-apply it (as it is a big PITA to do it perfectly and without air bubbles)...

The curved glass may be a problem. I've never seen anything other than urethane films successfully applied to a curved screen. (And they are the absolute worst type of protectors to install without getting dust or bubbles underneath!)

Hopefully, @Shanling would do the right thing for us - I plan to get one in RED, once available in the USA.

I've got the wet applied ones on my Note 8 and S9+. The curved edges are actually actually pretty good and no bubbles or orange peel. Has been four months for the one on the Note 8.

I've got a PhantomSkinz wet-apply film on my V30 and love it. But the front screen section was a giant PITA and took me three attempts to get right (destroying three skins in the process). Of course, my skill level at these things may not be very high.

The only other option I've seen for curved glass are protectors that only cover the flat area of the screen. They look awful (IMHO) and dust tends to accumulate under the edges. It would be great for Shanling to include a film pre-installed, but I'd feel a bit guilty asking. The entire price of the M0 isn't all that much more than you'd pay for one of the more expensive tempered glass protectors for a phone. I'm still amazed they've managed to pack so much tech into something so affordable. Still, my guilt may evaporate once our governments tariffs on Chinese imports kick-in...

It says available end of April/early May on the first page?

I just passed along the info from the email they sent me:

“We are contacting you with regards to your Shaling M0 pre-order purchase. The manufacturer has just confirmed that the release date will finally be delayed until the end of May.

This is because Shanling's tech team want to make sure, before shipping internationally, that there are no issues with the first batch that will be entirely destined for Chinese market. Please note that this is a delay at a global level not only for Europe or Spain.”

Found a real photo of the purple one on Tellement Nomade, also other photos:

You'd be surprised how little $$ it adds for Shanling to add those and pre-apply them!
I do not feel guilty at all, asking for that...

differences between Chinese and international version?
Only the languages supported or other differences ??

I couldn't find any information about the type of touch screen it is using. Is it an OLED or TFT screen?

If it's anything like the R6 there will probably be differences to the firmware versions used.
