The snartlock doesn't work in the newest MIUI 9 global ROM for Mi Mix? or there is any other way to make it work?

It hasn't got the needed hardware for that, there used to be an xposed module that could do it on marshmallow ROMs don't know about nougat.

It DOES have the hardware - the software is blocked internally by Xiaomi and so it does pick up the device and allows you to register it - it will not allow it to unlock the screen using the default screen unlock. The feature works just fine with Xiaomi supplied bluetooth devices. This is only the case with xiaomi chinese rom and xiaomi stable rom. Eu and Epic can unlock via smartlock feature just fine.

Face unlock

Just got Mi 8 (global version) and can't see any options for face unlock? Thought this thing had dedicated stuff for it in the notch? The first update it did there was referred to adding face lock to France etc, perhaps coming in an update ,is it? Ta (UK)
Come on... Did you google for this problem? Change region of your device to for eg. India then you will get it. Only some regions got face unlock yet. Or you have to flash Xiaomi.eu rom, which I think has enabled face unlock for all regions

I came on and googled. Changing to Hong Kong region enabled face data option in lock screen an passwords. Some say India enables for them. Some say doing this affects GPS but tested and seems fine using GPS test up to 4 meters accuracy in the UK. Cheers.
Got the same issue here, was happy for a while running the Indian region, but it stops my mobile hotspot working which I need for work! Another issue I'm interested to see if you have is that Google assistant unlock features are greyed out, ie OK google doesn't unlock the phone and is not recognised unless search is open.
Is there any way of flashing to EU ROM from Official Global without voiding the extra support to keep everything official.

OK Google from sleep / lockscreen

Is this a feature that this device supports?
I have everything I can think of enabled in Nova & Google Assistant settings. The "OK" keyword works fine when the device is awake. I just can't get it working from sleep.
BTW: I had it working on my LG V20 which I don't think officially supported it. That device was rooted and bootloader unlocked, among other things.
I'm downloading Pie now, but no, mine won't work either.
Try checking Settings → Security → Smart Lock → Voice Match, turn on "Unlock with Voice Match"
Mine hasnt worked from day 1, and Pie didnt fix it either. Also phone locked and using a headset also wont unlock with "ok Google." I loved this feature on my OG Pixel...
When I first got my RP2 it had Oreo on it and I could unlock my phone with OK Google. Then got an OTA for Pie and then I got a message from OK Google stating it could no longer unlock phone due to security issues. So Pie broke this feature.

OK google not working on EU rom

Hi all, after changing to EU rom from Chinese rom, I notice voice assistant won't stay switched on and is greyed out. I can use voice input for other features (keyboard, assistant) but to try set up OK google or retrain my voice, it is all greyed out in Voice Match settings.
Can't find any other threads for this or tips. All google results tips don't work.
Any suggestions out there?
I noticed the same! curious on what others have experienced.
+1 Me too
yup, same here! Tried a coup-le of methods suggested and eventually gave up. For now my fix is holding the AI button activates Google Assisstant. Also saves on battery drainage this way instead of the phone always listening for the magic words "ok google"
I never use this feature, but I can confirm that it's not working too on my device
EU rom is based on Chinese Rom, I have read somewhere their feedback about this. Generally, they can't make OK Google works on EU rom, at least for the time being. If you desperately need it, Global rom is the only choice.
If I bought my MI9 on netherlands, does it come stock with the xiaomi.eu ROM ?

No it comes with an official global rom.
xiaomi.eu is a kind of custom rom so you will need to unlock and flash it.
Mine is not greyed out, but when I try to enable "Access with voice match" it says "Something went wrong. Try again later" and it's not enabling.
Xiaomi.eu 9.4.25

Same here. Mi 9 global 10.2.28.0. can't activate access with voice match.

Global ROM Smart Lock?

I've got the original Vivo Nex Chinese version and one thing it is missing is Android Smart Lock which allows you to keep the phone unlocked at set GPS coordinates. So I when I'm at work or home I can set it so my phone stays unlocked and as soon as I leave it automatically locks. Does anyone know if that feature is available in the global ROM of the Nex 3?

I'm using global rom one. Same thing. I think it's vivo security measure (just like how you can't reply messages from the lock screen)
Thanks for the info. Also, where did you buy your global version from?
