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:
http://en.miui.com/thread-731235-1-1.html

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.

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.

Where did you buy this "version"?
I have bought on Gearbest.
"Xiaomi Mi 6 4G Smartphone
Size:INTERNATIONAL VERSION 6GB RAM 64GB ROM"
Hopefully the same version as you.

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
You can buy original global phones also on geekbuying, spemall....

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

Hi everyone
I'm waiting for the arrival of my Nova 2 Pic al00 but I have some questions that I don't find the answer so easily....sooooo here I come:
1 - What is the differences between CN version and European version?
2 - What is the differences between International Version and Global version?
3 - I know that the version that I bought will come with International version and with some app from the store...what if I make a reset to the phone....I will lose the Play Store but will get rid of all the app from the store...and after that? Is it easy to get back the phone to work with google apps?
4 - I read that some users prefer to keep the CN version than to make a debranding....Why?
5 - Since I m in Europe, will I get OTA updates for a CN version?
I know that's a lot of questions....SORRY !!
Thanks

good question ...
At first I looked only for European sellers for the 2 years of guarantee.
Any of those whom I questioned (eBay, amazon, groove inc) none of these sellers was able to certify me that the model which it sold was a "European" model.
So i gave up, ... now I'm waiting for a good deal on P10 (i'm sure that in can get one for about 350 € pretty soon

So Huawei announced the Huawei Mate 20 X, but in what countries is it going to be released? They are not very clear about that. Seeing the video's it appears to be a global release because all Google apps are already installed.
If you found a webshop please let us know here
Pre-order on Amazon UK, £899.99.
Edit: Sorry, I'm a 'tard, £899.99 for the plain Mate 20 Pro.

Depending on where you can buy from in the UK, you could probably buy from there. If that fails definitely contact WondaMobile, as i'm sure he can get from you, when its out.
pdaplaza.ca (a Canadian company) has the 6/128 Global variant and 8/256 China variant for sale with shipping the first week of November. Can someone confirm there will be a Global version of the 8/256 model? With the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 the 8/256 was China only, while they also offer a Global version of their 6/128 model. Does Huawei follow a similar sales strategy of reserving their high end model for the Chinese mainland market?
Tweeted Huawei UK and they have said no release in UK (as of yet!!). Prices is listed in Euros so there is a Euro / Global version being released but have no idea in what regions. I also asked this but no reply yet.
Once again the UK is getting screwed ! Off to the black market to pay inflated prices and import tax (again ...) !!
Hi guys,
Any update on availability in the UK or Europe?
I am also looking for the Mate 20 X this phone it is amazing .
my daily phone is at the moment Samsung s5 it so terrible to use this phone and UI.
Huawei is so lazy, they announce the phone in London with euro price but doesn't list the release countries. Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro pre-orders are everywhere. I also asked many Huawei countries on Twitter, but no single response.

can the china variant be used on our canadian bands for 4g lte?
can the bootloader be unlocked on the china variant?
is it true that the 8gb version will ship with a free flip case and m-pen?
So I had a response from Huawei, which said:
"Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK.
At the moment the Mate 20X is not available in Europe, we do not have official information regarding an ETA for the release, furthermore we cannot confirm with certainty that this model will even be released for the European market.
Please return to us, in the near future for additional information on the Mate 20 X model.
Meanwhile, of course, should you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us."
Best regards,
Huawei Support - Customer Care UK
What are the differences between the global version of China and the global version of Hong Kong?
Global model is only being released in the 6/128 Blue color.
If you want the higher spec and phantom silver color its only available in the Chinese model.

I have the phantom silver 8 GB 256 gig model it is the China version but it came when the play store pre-installed it gets all the regular updates and all I have to do is disable all the Chinese apps.

Hello @All!
I would like to buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro, but in the large 12/512GB version. This is available, for example, at TradingShenzhen.
But now there is suddenly the following sentence: INFO! NO GOOGLE PLAY STORE POSSIBLE
As firmware is specified: Multi - GE, EN, FR, ES, ...
According to this, it is a European ROM. If I buy in Germany at Amazon the leine 8/256 GB version, then Google Play Store is also included. It can not be that the use of Google Play Store is dependent on the size of the RAM.
TradingShenzhen wrote me on request that it is not possible to flash another ROM on Honor. That would be very strange though. In principle, you can flash another ROM (e.g. European version) when the bootloader is "unlocked". A few years ago I've bought the Huawei Mate 9 in the bigger chinese version. I I flashed the European ROM and that was it! Everthing worked without any issues.
I find all this somehow strange and would be grateful if someone here could please enlighten me.
Another question in this context: I noticed that the European versions of Chinese smartphones only in smaller memory variants. The Chinese devices have up to twice as much memory as the European ones. What is the reason?
Where can I buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro 12/512GB, where also the Google Apps work?
Somewhere I have now also read that the Chinese version has no GSM? Does this mean that SMS is no longer possible?
Thanks a lot!
Best,
