My brother has a 3/32 global Note 5 AI and now I want to buy a Chinese version of Note 5 AI 4/64. So what are the problems with Chinese Rom? I've heard that GPS doesn't work, is it true? and is changing Chinese Rom to global Rom prohibited by Xiaomi now?

global has more bands.
i used chinese rom in english but still many things were chinesse. didnt like it.
am not sure i heard you cant anymore china device to global or global device to china.. some say you still can.
China ROM is definitely more smoother, but global rom has everything set up for you with gapps

This is really confusing.. looks like choosing Chinese version would be a bad decision.

i saw a post on mi forum that you cant use global rom on china device and viceversa and in here some say you can.
example when i wanted to update stock apps the changelog was in chinesse. many apps in chinesse.. i went straight back to global.
is better to get global vversion.

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.
Hello there, my brother just got a Redmi Note 5 China 6GB/64GB variant. It has a chinese box and has bootloader unlocked already with a Global ROM installed. Is this normal? Or should i ask him to return the device?
Thanks.

I am not getting OTA either, I have Lang set to English-UK and region - India
the reason for Region India is because if I set to region UK i dont get Face Unlock feature thats why.
The battery management is just excellent thats why I am lil worries abt not going onto 9.5.13 and want to keep 9.5.5.0 as standby before I update

You can set region to Indonesia and update it, then set it back to India. I'm on 9.5.13, getting screen on time of about 9-10 hours on light use and 7-8 on moderate use.

Redmi Note 5 pro and Redmi Note 5 AI are same mobile. Only difference is Redmi Note 5 AI got different camera setup.
Don't know the reason why Xiaomi is not pushing Oreo update to Indian (India region) users officially...

They are not.
RN 5 China and Global have bigger pixels 1.4um camera with f 1.9 lens, India called Pro has pixel size 1.2. and f 2.2. The camera is significant better and the AI works almost like a gimble. Amazing for the price.

Just wanted to know, if It was possible to flash Redmi Note 5 Pro's Indian Global Stable ROM's on Redmi Note 5 AI/China or not.
One other thing I wanted to know was. I seen some global version ROMs of the AI version on the forum, but didn't find any mention of those on the chinese MIUI forum. Can someone point the way for their source.
Thanks In Advance.

Unfortunately the Global version of Redmi Note 8 Pro is only 6 GB RAM which is big disappointment for me and seems Xiaomi will never release the 8 GB Global version. Since 8 GB only coming in the Chinese version so Is there an easy way to install Google service on the Chinese version? Also I'm using the Arabic language in the Keyboard beside the English language but the interface wil remain in English, so will that easy to have this on the Chinese version? Can I simply install the global version ROM on the Chinese version?
Where is the 6GB global rom
Can you share the global rom ?Q
Where do you take global rom ?

But why? 6GB is more than enough for most app and games.. also the Google says that 6GB of ram memorije is more than enough , everything more is just bad for battery ..
There's no Global rom until now, so you need to wait to do these, but it should be possible to do it when it is released.

There's already Chinese Edition of iQoo 3 6/128 GB available in Bangladesh. The Indian Edition is not but may be available soon. As there is no 5G available in Bangladesh both Indian and Chinese editions will perform the same.
I'm anxious about the performance of the Chinese ROM as I heard that, different payment applications do not work properly in Chinese ROM of Xiaomi and Realme smartphones.
So, should I go for the Chinese ROM edition or wait for the Indian Edition ?? I want the best possible android experience from iQoo 3.
hey man do not buy this **** phone or nstead of this go for xiaomi pocofone f2

Thank you for your opinion. But first of all, Poco F2 Pro still isn't available in Bangladesh and secondly, I don't like pop up camera. Thirdly, an extra AI button is important to me. That's why I chose IQOO 3

Negative. I haven’t been able to get my hands on an IQoo 3 because of COVID-19. Later purchased a Realme X2Pro.
