Hi there,
I am currently thinking about getting the Mi6. After some research I read more than once in some forums across the web, that there might be a Global VERSION coming, naturally supporting more LTE bands, as they have done it before to other xiaomi phones.
Geekbuying already had a Global VERSION listed, others saying Xiaomi is trying to hit ground in Russia and Greece in the future.
Since I am pretty new to the ChinaPhone Area I would like to know if something like this sounds possible to you? In that case I would wait a few more weeks if something like a Global VERSION would pop up.
Thanks in advance :good:

Hello, I've bought a MI6 that already came with global version. If you buy it with other, you can download it here:

It's a great phone with lower price, it worth it

Hi,
I did not mean the Global ROM. I meant a Global VERSION of the phone. The Global ROM does not unlock any LTE Bands.
It just felt like there are rumors about a different version of the phone coming in the future. That's why I asked if anybody knew something.

MI6 global version:

Thank you, but it seems like they are defining Global Version also just as the Mi6 running the Global Rom on it. Aliexpress is not mentioning any different specs than the "standard" Mi6. The review is also just talking about the Global Rom on the "standard" Mi6.
Maybe I was just wishing that they might release another version of the mi6 running more or other LTE bands than the one which is out already. Too bad.
Global ROM - with more languages than English and Chinese - is available.
Usually it takes a little more time to come out (2 weeks to 1 month) but it is available for all Xiaomi devices.
It comes with Google Services and improvements for usability outside of mainland China, namely GPS.
Global Versions is on the hardware side.
It usually enables more LTE bands (e.g. Band 20 @ 800MHz on the Redmi 4X), brings an EU charger and is CE / FCC certified.
It has also the Global ROM pre-installed.
So we are waiting for a Mi6 Global Version ... even though it might not come. Just looked at the mi sites in Taiwan, Russia and Poland: mi6 is available but same specs as everywhere - no B20 band mentioned.
I really do not know if Xiaomi is going to release a global version of Mi6.
But OP5 has a bunch of 4g bands.
What do u think about OP5?
I read a review in miui forum. The guy has International version, which had english specifications on the box. I boughy Intetnational version from Gearbest. The send me Chinese box with global shop rom. So that means there is a international version but you have to clarify with seller. Or consider other phone.

Had the OP5 for a few days and send it back. It did not feel fully developed yet. The viewable expanding/contracting of pixels was annoying, Camera worse than advertised, Bluetooth did not work out of the box and the customer service with OP is a big ****up since I have been returning it. Its not worth the price it has. Most of it could be resolved by software, so it might become a better phone in the future. But the customer service is so annoying, that I wont be turning back to OP. Better no customer service at all and lots of money less

All the sellers [ gearbest, tradingshenzhen, etc. ] do not know about an international version supporting B20 yet. So sadly, there is nothing to clarify.

My point is these sellers unbox and flash shop ROM on Chinese Version then sells them as International Version to earn more money. You have to "clarify" this before you buy to make sure you get what you want and pay for.
In case of band 20, the only way to know is to try contact to people who has originally International version to confirm. I don't think these kind of sellers will tell you the truth.

Nope. There is a global version from Xiaomi but the only difference is the box is in english and EU charger included. Same bands.

Why don´t you read a little? You don´t have to wait, global version is already out. But it has no B20. Only english box, EU charger, and of course the global rom pre-installed.

Your point is wrong, the phone in the link I provided before is the original global version. There are no chinese letters in the back of the phone, only the CE logo and designed by xiaomi.

"Xiaomi Mi 6 4G Smartphone

Gearbest international versions are fakes. It´s the chinese phone with the global rom installed by the shop.
Original xiaomi phones are called "Global version". And for the second time, you can buy it here: https://es.aliexpress.com/store/pro...a8a4ce16758051b7b-1502703643253-09604-UfYbAe2

Why do you use language like this? It's unnecessary. It's condescending on a thread that has what - 3 users?! Really.
Having said that - yes, the Global version IS different from Chinese with Global ROM.
I got the blue ceramic Chinese with Global ROM because I couldn't seem to find it anywhere as INTERNATIONAL.
Works well for me: Specs vis-a-vis bands etc

It´s a short thread and despite that people don´t read carefully!
Xiaomi dramatically release a lot of variant in Running Redmi note lineup.
Note 5 pro as indian variant,another one is
Note 5 as chinese also known as Note 5 Ai
and the other one is Redmi note 5 Global.
There is a lot of noticeable difference
between Chinese and global version.
But Its really hard to notice difference
between Chinese & global version.
So My Question is,
I can consider chinese rom,
Which one would be better for me?
I mean Any Disadvantages on
Redmi note 5 global compared to
The note 5 chinese?
Global version and Chinese version differ only in network bands. If you add two LTE bands B4 and B20 to chinese version, it will become global version. That's it. If you don't need those two bands you can order the Chinese version.

Thanks for this clear and concise answer. I don't need band 20 or band 4 LTE and Ordered the Global version.
Just cancelled it to reorder the Chinese version from Aliexpress - -$25 difference and it comes with an unlocked bootloader...
Custom Roms here I come...

Be aware, there are fake unlocked bootloader devices being sold through 3rd party re-sellers! Do a bit of research here on Guides and News section I think on RN5 forums and you'll see. The safest case would be to buy completely stock device (locked bootloader) and proceed to unlock it on your own. Now, your device might really be unlocked, but it is a known practice for Xiaomi devices to get sold with fake UBL. I hope you don't get scammed, because it's a pain in the *ss to get rid of that fake ubl.

I would recommend you to buy the global version even if it costs 25 bucks extra. Things changed between then and now. So many restrictions imposed on xiaomi phones. You can't lock bootloader on chinese version if you have global rom and vice-versa. Just make sure you buy from recommended sellers (check their rating) and ask them to keep the box in sealed state o/w you may get fake roms or faked unlocked bootloader....etc.

If I have genuine Global Rom with Unlocked Boot Loader on China version, will flashing newer Global ROM be possible with an unlocked bootloader?
If it is possible, will the Newer global ROM with ARL still lock the bootloader?
I am not a MIUI fan, It is custom Rom all the way so, I want to know. I intend getting the POCO phone early Next year and may not use this one so long

Thanks for your Advise mate. I just ordered for redmi Note 5 Ai Global version. It did cost extra $21 but Having considered all
the risks I took your advice. Thanks man.
I will surely have some fun with this phone after which I will try out POCO F1
Sound choice...

Can anyone double check and see if there's any issues with this listing? I'm in Canada, if that matters.
Just making sure it's the international version with global Rom, if either of those matter or if they can be fixed or changed by me.
Or any concerns? Just need a second opinion.

Just checked it out. It states it has global firmware. Oos 10.0.3 but doesnt state anywhere in the description the model of the phone. Judging from where it ships from Hong Kong i think its a chinese variant HD1900 with global firmware. Shouldnt be a hustle as this is the same setup i use in Africa unless you are looking for specific network bands
It's the Chinese version. The International version only has 128GB storage.
I would look elsewhere.
I'm not sure what's been sold where, but here's a complete list of 7T variants:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnePlus_7T#Variants
A phone sold as the "international version" is almost always an HD1900--that is, the Chinese version. The HD1900 has both Chinese and international ROM's available, and I think which one it comes with is a matter of where you buy it--but even if you buy the Chinese version, you can download and flash an international version of the ROM through the settings menu.
Ideally, in Canada, you want the HD1905, but it's no longer sold anywhere, and you're going to have a hard time finding it--I had to buy a used one. That being said, both the HD1900 and the HD1903 (the European variant) will work in North America. The lack of certain bands, especially on the 1900, may affect your coverage in specific situations, but I personally used an "international" version of the 3T in the U.S. (that was before they had a U.S. version) with no problems.
Note that the HD1907, while probably also suitable for your purposes, comes network-locked, and you'll have no way to unlock it unless you first activate it on T-mobile or a T-mobile MVNO--so avoid that one.

is it good that the CN sets comes with GMS?
Yeah i'm thinking to buy one. But stil don't know which one. Chinese with global rom or Global at ZTE Shop.
Chinese with global rom is cheaper at Giztop, but there is a chance to get extra customs.
1. This phone is Chinese Edition, comes with Global version software installed(international ROM), includes Google Play Service.
2. This phone supports multi-language: English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and more.
3. This phone supports these network bands:
4G: FDD: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26/28; TDD: B34/38/39/40/41.
5G: n1/n3/n28/n41/n78
so no one has one? Mine supposed to arrive today
Chinese version with global rom comes with problems... I find it's MUCH slower to update (have to almost force it to) and can be a mother to root.
Older google apps abound and it doesn't want to update these, manually installing newer APK's seems to fail more times than not.
There can be bloatware that is (almost) impossible to uninstall.
Theme stores might not work without a Chinese number and you are stuck with some apps being only in Chinese with no English, or any other language, options.
Chinese phone might be a little cheaper but the Global variant will mean less headaches...
I have the Chinese Axon 20 and themes are especially a pain, the Theme store is geared for the Chinese and I find them all very cartoony, Forget about changing fonts as it uses theme store bought ones and again, not English. They ALL cost too. (Have to use Chinese currency)..
Forget about reading the changelog of a new Firmware, if you get updates, t took a few months with me checking and getting a "can't connect with server" error" before it finally updated, still a month or 2 behind in security patches though, though that may be normal.
All in all I wish I'd spent the few extra $$ on a Global variant but it wasn't available in my area at the time so got the Chinese one instead cos I'm an impatient little bugger.
Updating is a pain as you need to navigate Chinese only sites to find the firmware if you want to root or anything, a lot of these sites are hard to get things from, even with a VPN, and depending on the suppliers means of adding the Google apps, may not allow upgrading. This means having the stock firmware handy is nigh impossible if you have problems and is easier to end up with a brick...
Hope this helps you make up your mind.
To sum up, what you get is about all you can expect to work with (spent hour pulling my hair out trying to root a Chinese Axon 7 and ended up loosing all phone functionality), as long as you're happy to use without root, too much theme customisation problems with stock Android and hard to ignore apps you just can't get rid of. It may be worthwhile but in my opinion, get the Global version instead.
Got the Global Axon 30, much better experience and again, cost may only be up to $100 more but peace of mind is priceless...

I bought global. Not sure why anyone would buy cn version
Again, the phone bought Chinese version was the Axon 20, and it wasn't available in my region, not even through international postage and It was also unintentional (Seller had "Global ROM' in BIG letters but CN model in itty bitty letters).
The Axon 30 I got a true Global variant from ZTE direct, came with a screen protector and ZTE iMore buds. Funnily enough though the screen protector supplied by ZTE, the official tempered glass protector, had the camera cutout which I thought was an odd choice seeing as how the phone's most advertised selling point is the under display camera. That was a boner-headed move on their part but the phone is pretty good.
Got mine today. Pretty good. Do wish I could crank up the color though. The setting for color is limited.

So from what I am seeing the G version is the USA/NA version and the one that is just A2322 is the China version. (was looking at a device for sale-had some Chinese characters in the settings and no "G"-OS version was slightly ahead or higher at 11.0.16)

I'm going for the Global model, but i want the 12GB/256GB model and it is still not avalible at the ZTE Global store.
I read that the phone doesn't have dual speakers. Is there a way to enable the ear speaker and use that for second speaker?
Hi, I was looking for the ROG Phone 6 in Amazon (US), and came across with 2 versions: Regular and Tencent ed. Between them there is an important price difference ($659 vs $899), and would like to know, what the differences are?.
If any user here owns Tencent version, could you please confirm if it supports Spanish language?. I saw only 1 video about it, and only had Chinese and English.
Thease are the phones:
Tencent: https://www.amazon.com/Phone-AI2201-128GB-Factory-Unlocked/dp/B0B91CS8W8
Regular: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Teléfon...-desbloqueado-AI2201-16G512G-WH/dp/B0BC5B7XL6
Thanks for your help
I have this version, i.e. AI2201_A. Yes I can enable Spanish with various regional dialects also available. I believe mine has had the model code changed from CN to WW. I can't confirm all suppliers will do this.
I have questions myself and I haven't gotten very far with seller or ASUS.
My main question is, does the AI2201_A have 6GHz Wi-Fi soft or hard disabled? In China, 6GHz has been reserved for cellular use only. So, they would never need 6GHz Wi-Fi. I had hoped that by having the WW ROM on it, this would restore 6GHz... but it seems more like the radio has been disabled at hardware level. I'm hoping someone figures out how to re-enable it if it hasn't been burned off the board or something. From various analysis tools, the SoC is all there and the 6GHz radio should be too.
Otherwise, the differences only seem to be RAM and storage. I actually bought it to be my new DAP. I am not a gamer. I was just interested in aptX Lossless codec.
It will load the full WW ROM from asus.com but I suspect that OTA updates do not work. At least, I was not offered the October update when it shipped with July update. I was however able to manually load the full WW October 2022 downloaded from asus.com.
ASUS Support UK believes that these Global ROM-loaded AI2201_A are not officially provided by ASUS China. I'm not sure what to believe. Regardless, it works as it should. I would just like 6GHz Wi-Fi too but it's no big deal.
