Summary: The above is the connection and speed test of ExpressVPN in Windows, Macbook and iPhone (IOS) in mainland China. Since I don’t have an Android phone in my hand, I can’t test the Android version, but according to the feedback from users, the Android version is basically the same as the Windows version, because there are few people using both Windows and Android devices in China.
