You can flash Redmi Note 5 Global/Redmi Note 5 Pro ROM available on en.miui.com
But keep in mind that there's is no 8.1 ROM for Global only 7.1. Brw Indian and Global share the same ROM.

are you sure about that ?
because i read in miui official forum that if you have Chinese ROM you need to do fastboot flash first, before flashing Global or India ROM

you can down gmail.app from MIUI APPSTORE, it will notify you install gapps... kind of global version..
or you can unlock your device and flash the rom from xiaomi.eu

Yes unlocked boot-loader is required for that. You can't directly make the switch from China to Global stable/dev roms. Since you've a china stable rom, start the unlocking process immediately, wait for 15 days and then unlock. If not test-point which is cumbersome but no need of waiting time. You have to use China Stable atleast for 15 days before you can fastboot flash global rom.

Some people in MIUI Device Team said that going from China ROM to Global ROM ( or India ROM ) for the Redmi Note 5 Pro is not a good idea due to different camera setups, so you might experience issues with them.
I don't know if that's for sure or not !

In the end of this April several country will sold this version according to spec that xiaomi officially state. So I believe and at the same time hope this is the global variant. Btw that country is South East Asian.

why not just switch sys language to English?

First u need unlock bootloader. After 15 days bootloader will unlock then u will install global rom.

I'm using the China version, too. You can install Play Store, Gmall and other Gapps right away, since the Chinese rom includes Google framework.

Note 5 china rom to global rom -possible ?

I am eager tho buy note 5 china as i am on tight budget but i want to know that ..As global fastboot firmware is available now for note 5 . So do that firmware will work on the china version ?
As the global and china version doesn't have any specification difference (else only band 20).
So, Did somebody tried flashing the official global firmware ?
Do that work ?
In my openion, Pro version has different camera that was the cause of camera problem on that firmware.But official global version of note 5 is same as the china version .so,firmware should work.

As you said, there is no difference between China and Global version devices (only band 20). You can flash the global fastboot ROM without issue
But TAKE A BACKUP before doing anything !

Redmi note5pro and global are known as redmi note 5 in china
The rom is compatible am using Chinese rom in indian redmi note5 pro device

I flashed the Global leaked MIUI which was based on Oreo and my device is Redmi Note 5 AI (China). I didn't face any problems at all. You can try but always have backup in TWRP.

Confusion about all the Note 5 variants

Hello,
I'm new to the Xiaomi community and I recently ordered the
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Dual camera 4GB/64GB version.
I understand that there's the Xiaomi redmi note 5 3/4GB 64/128GB single camera version;
Xiaomi redmi note 5 Pro 4/6GB 64/128GB version;
Xiaomi redmi note 5 Dual AI 4/6GB 64/128GB version.
The thing that really confuses me, is the Dual camera version the same as the Pro?
I couldn't find the Pro version on most stores and the specs seem to be quite similar.
Will I be able to install the same ROM's on the Dual version that are meant for the Pro?
Are they really the same?
This is really getting me frustrated and I can't find any info online about this.
Please help.

Xiaomi is the master of confusion regarding phone variants and names.
But in your case and only if your phone has two backside cameras:
- Xiaomi redmi note 5 Pro 4/6GB 64/128GB -> REDMI NOTE 5 PRO INDIA
- If your phone says that it uses a Global MIUI ROM then: Xiaomi redmi note 5 Dual AI 4/6GB 64/128GB -> Redmi Note 5 Global
- If your phone says that it uses a Russian MIUI ROM then: Xiaomi redmi note 5 Dual AI 4/6GB 64/128GB -> Redmi Note 5 Russia
Now, I am a little bit confused where exactly someone will find ROMs for Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 3/4GB 64/128GB with a single camera. It's believed that this variant is actually the Redmi 5 Plus but... I am not sure.

Thank you.
I checked the custom ROMs online regarding the single camera version, they were called just "Note 5 single camera" and there were a lot designed specifically for that version. I believe my specific version of Xiaomi is the China version, since it is the chinese version with the Global ROM installed, if that's the case, there are plenty of ROMs for me to choose.

You wrote your Xiaomi is the Chinese version but it has a Global ROM... How do you know that? If I am not too indiscreet, what is your model version?
In case you do not know, you may find that information under:
Settings-> About phone

Mi 10T Lite or Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G?

What's the main difference between the two devices?
I can't find the Mi10t5g to buy, so i was thinking about getting the RN9Pro5G instead, it's a good idea?
I'll be alowed to flash the global room (of the Mi10Tlite5g) without any problems?
And does it need to be unlocked first?
The custom roms develoment will be shared btw the two right?​
That's it, thanks for stoping by, sorry for any repetead questions.

Well. The lack of B28 is worrisome, but my current smarthphone (RN5/Whyred) does not have it either, so is should work, just not as good in terms of down/up speeds in 4g. It has at least two bands that works here.

Hello everyone
I bought redmi note 9 Pro 5g in China
The names of Xiaomi's mobile phone series are getting more and more confused, and the model names of the global version and the Chinese version are interlaced,
Which version of twrp can China redmi note 9 Pro 5g brush
Can I swipe [10.0] [Gaussian] lineage OS 17.1 in the forums after brushing?
thank you!

Mi 10T Lite or Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G? Indeed Xiaomi/Redmi makes too much Smartphones with similar but not the same hardware for different markets while using the same names. Confusing.
I like the dedicated microSD slot in the Mi 10T Lite (Note 10 Pro is reported to have that too, release this month?).
In the Note 9 Pro there is a shared microSD slot, but it should have Radio which Mi 10T Lite has not.
I do not know of other inside specs differences.
So overall I tend to Mi 10T Lite or Note 10 Pro.
