Difference between Redmi 4X Global & International Editions, & Where to Buy Global Ed
Hi,
I'm interested in buying the Redmi 4X Global Edition, not the International Edition or China Edition. Is there a way to tell them apart in terms of hardware and/or anything on the body of the phone? Is there an International version, or is the International version the Global version as well?
Secondly, where can I buy a Global version of the phone. I am in the USA. I have checked amazon.com, and they have the Global version, but it's sold by a third-party seller and I don't know if they are trustworthy (i.e. don't know if I can trust them that they are selling me a Global version).
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all, How are you?
I am trying to buy a Nokia 7 Plus for months, and I could not figure out which variant will work in my country.
I found out that there are at least four Nokia 7 Plus variants: TA-1055, TA-1046, TA-1062 China and TA-1062 Global.
May someone help me please?
What are the differences between all those variants (TA-1055, TA-1046, TA-1062 China and TA-1062 Global)?
I appreciate any help you can give me
i don't really know if is not some wrong, but i think:
TA-1046 = DualSIM, 4GB RAM, AndroidOne, Global
TA-1055 = SingleSIM, 4GB RAM, AndroidOne, Global
TA-1062 global = DualSIM, 4GB RAM, AndroidOne, Global
TA-1062 china = DualSIM, 6GB RAM, NO AndroidOne, China(without GooglePlay and with (i think) some china apps)
global is "00WW", china is "00CN"...
"00CN can be switch to "00WW"
I think TA-1062 is the 6GB variant. You have mistakenly type 4GB.
Thanks a lot for helping.
I still have some questions, please, may ou help me?
1) Are there differences in supported LTE and 3G Bands between the Nokia 7 Plus Variants?
I need to verify which variant supports my country LTE and 3G bands.
2) I understood that TA-1055 is a SingleSIM variant, right?
Does TA-1055 variant also have a microSD slot?
3) Are there differences in Android OTA updates released to each variant?
4) Because Nokia does not officially sells phones in my country, so I have been searching to buy it online, and import.
Therefore, I can not ask to a online seller to open the phone's box in order to verify its Android build - to make sure it is "00WW".
I was not able find a online seller to TA-1046 variant.
I found TA-1055 variant available at Amazon uk only.
I found TA-1062 variant available at Deal Extreme, but It is not clear whether their variant is the Global or the Chinese one. DX claims that their variant is Taiwan.
4.1) Do you suggest any online seller that has the global variant for sure?
4.2) Do you have any ideia what is the Taiwan variant?Is the Taiwan variant the Chinese one? or the global?
Thanks a lot
I am not sure, I have found the links bellow with TA-1062 4GB RAM:

You can get Chinese one and unlock bootloader to install global MIUI, a waiting time might be there (like 15days), but heard Chinese mi accounts might not need to wait.
As for price, I got mine from Amazon.it for €400, even tho it says €450 but that includes taxes which my country doesn't have, so only paid 400.
Hello now I am in china if I buy mi9 can I change to global rom?

You can after unlocking the bootloader. Also keep in mind the Chinese version don't work on certain LTE bands in some parts of the world. I bought a Chinese one and the LTE didn't work on O2 network in UK. I had to return it and get the global Mi 9, hope this helps.

The shops selling the Chinese one should have the global one as well, also check online and ebay most of the sellers selling this phone on ebay are from China, they can send you a piece on a quick delivery, keep in mind global only comes with 6gb ram and has a global rom, in order to check go to settings..... about phone and look at MIUI version it should say global, mine is "global 10.2.1 stable", hope this helps
Use the search function is the answer. It has been answered at least 10 times.
So, I'm looking to buy ROG 2 but the variant in US is quite expensive. With taxes, it comes out to be close to $1000.
I'm looking on eBay and it seems like a lot of sellers are selling asus rog 2 tencent variant with global ROM.
Is this legit?
With global ROM, Chinese tencent variant works with all bands in US (on AT&T)?
According to all sellers, Chinese tencent variant works on GSM / AT&T and support play store and should get updates like a global variant from Asus. Is that true?
I thought Chinese tencent variant is missing some bands and it's a hardware limitation. How installing global ROM will start supporting all bands?
Just curious what variant were announced in Taiwan and India? Is it worth buying Taiwan variant? Some sellers are selling that too.
Basically I need some suggesting so I'm not mislead by sellers on eBay. I need to use it with AT&T. Will I be able to get 4G LTE? Will I be able to use AT&T hotspot?
Please advise.
I think it's true that band support is a hardware limitation. Even if it is a software change and you get the global bands, I still would only suggest buying the U.S. version (or whatever is local to your area) for two big reasons. Warranty, and customer service. Buying grey market versions off eBay will get you the phone cheaper, but you'll have no Asus warranty. You may have a warranty through the seller, but now you're dealing with someone overseas. That means you have to question the legitimacy of the seller, and there's a bigger hassle factor involved. If you have a tech support need you're unlikely to get it from Asus because you're using the phone in a way it wasn't approved for.
If you're willing to take those risks, then go for it. It's just not for me at any price.
Thank you @Mr_Mooncatt for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it. I guess the price of a US variant is quite demotivating since it's almost double (including taxes and all) compared to a global variant. So one may question if paying double $$ justifies the value or not. That's all. Though I agree with all the points you mentioned.
Keep in mind that all the tencent versions with WW ROM is not official device from Asus.
Asus has put this as a warning on their forum, in the Asus Rog phone 2 section.
They are saying tencent version only comes with CN ROM and does not come with WW ROM and those tencent version with WW ROM is modified device and may not have valid warranty and no working FOTA.
So i was browsing for a k20 in Aliexpress, and i saw that the 512gb 12gb edition are being sold with a global rom preinstalled. (That changes the processor description?) https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H13a1f5961c4a4cdca3cef0800e939134Q.jpg
Any idea if that rom is worth it? Or would i be better of with a "regular" k20
don't buy stuff with bootloader unlocked, not much problems, but I simply don't trust those guys
