No Android 10 in Hong Kong and now no MIUI 12 beta. - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Here in Hong Kong we RN8P Global users are Xiaomi's stepchild. Everyone else has Android 10; not us. Now no EU MIUI beta because it will brick. I can almost throw a rock into China from home but XIAOMI can't upgrade my almost 1 year old phone. Pretty shabby!

Is the 5s coming to international markets?

Will I be able to secure one with a global ROM is my question. Very interested in this device, otherwise the vanilla Mi 5 will just have to do, which I'm hoping doesn't come down to that, as it lacks the 900MHz band primarily used for LTE in my country.
Hopefully there will be as I already got 128 GB one in Malaysia with global ROM but the shop who sell it is not an official dealer in Malaysia. They said they imported and warranted by themselves for 1 year.

There is no global rom yet. They lie.

[Answer] Global MIUI release date.

Hello,
I have read the question repetifly and will answer it.
Q: release date of the global MIUI ROM for the Mi 5s or Mi 5s Plus?
A: Never.
This device is a China only device. It will not update the existing Mi5 on the "global" market, that means wherever Xiaomi sells phones outside of China.

sure.
Before we start to have a Global ROM is needs:
Global ROM is released only if the device is officially sold outside of China in countries like India, Malaysia, Singapore etc... without any hardware changes.

You can always hope that the device gets launched in Malaysia or Singapore, yet this is very unlikely if Xiaomi doesn't plan to launch it in India first. People in these country already have the Mi5, a more expensive version of the Mi5 may not be sell good.

You ended up in the wrong section.
This is the Redmi Note 4 section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4
And that's a topic I posted in the Redmi Note 4 section: [ROM] MIUI‬ 8 Global Stable ROM for Redmi Note 4 (MTK) - Released!
But all of this has nothing to do with the Xiaomi Mi 5s.

On Facebook:
Xiaomi Taiwan
Xiaomi Hongkong
Also, Mi 5s has more aggressive pricing that Mi 5. I cannot get the 128GB Mi 5 with the same money I spend on my Mi 5s.
But, yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath when or if xiaomi will launch this globally.
Ah great That gives hope for a global rom!
Hey everbody,
The Mi 5S Plus got a Global ROM at MIUI website.

Can we expect same thing at Mi 5S? I think the Plus edition is being selled on same countries of the 5.1" version.

mate 20 x global vs Chinese

Is it OK to buy the Chinese version or should I wait for global version?
my experience from p20 pro- i have both chinese and global and the difference for USA is no location sharing among family/friends in google maps, it is a google operational issue, everything else the same. The chinese one has esim, more huawei apps, baidu, etc.

What phone to buy for EU

Hi guys, i want to buy an Note 8 but here in Europe are some weird thigs going with the models! There is Xiaomi Note 8T (with NFC) witch Xiaomi says that is meant to be for Europe but there is also Note 8 without T but with the box with European countries ( the Asian version has an Blue box, the one that im talking about looks almost the same with Note8T and has all the European countries where it should work ) i dont like 8T because, yes, there are some difference, first i dont need NFC but secound, 8T is larger, heavier and uglier, it has a bigger chin so i dont really like it, also on Mi.eu Rom there is ginkgo supported, i dont know who is ginkgo and who is Willow! Can you help me guys? I can provide photos with the box if its helps you, thanks!
TLDR: 2 models of Xiaomi N8 for europe, but Xiaomi says only 8T is for europe meanwhile 8 with the white box has all the european countries on it!

Exactly... RN 8 has notifiaction LED, RN 8T not... and this and NFC are differences
I know guys what are the differences but i asked if 8T and 8 with the white box are meant to be used in EU bcs Xiaomi says only about 8T that is for europe!
RN 8 is available as Global version with MI version of ROM... so you can use it worldwide where is available... MI and EU versions od ROM can be used everywhere outside Asia
RN 8 is available with MI Global ROM
RN 8T is available with MI and EU Global ROM
For example in Croatia are available both RN 8 and 8T, but I bought 8T because of NFC

Flashing a beta one ui rom to N9750 (Note10+ Snapdragon Hong Kong)

I saw that One UI 4 Beta went live for Note10 series in South Korea (exynos Note10 there if I remember) and I am interested if it will be possible to flash China or US one ui 4 beta rom to my N9750? (when one ui 4 beta goes live for China and US soon probably) N9750 always gets late updates and I want to know if I will be able to flash a China or US rom on it (all of these are snapdragon)
bump Interested it too
From what i understand the answer is no. It would need to be korean TGY or BRI rom.
