Chinese and Global Mi 8

Since the hardware on both the chinese and the global version is the same, what difference does the software have and why can't a global rom be flashed on a chinese device with a locked bootloader?
Can a chinese version be converted to a global one or the opposite?

Buy genuine Global Version

Hi, How can I tell if a Mi8 advertised as Global is genuine Global? Any trustworthy sellers to recommend?

Yep can confirm the box must contain a red (Global Version marking)

i noticed my box is in chinese. but i had a global rom. so this is not a genuine global device ?
what is the downside of this ?

You most likey have a genuine device, but it's a Chinese handset with the global rom on it.
Only downside is you will NOT be able to relock the bootloader. It must stay unlocked. This might mean your Google pay won't work. Some apps will also not install cause of this (but you work around this by installing apk direct instead of through Google store). For most people, you won't even notice. You can still update through OTA without issues and will continue to get updates.

I bought mine in Hong Kong from an established high street retail chain, being sold to locals for use in HK (which is an international market, and so would use Google). English language box, no red stickers, Global rom. And Google pay works fine, so I assume it is a Global model. There is a model number on the box: M1803E1A but they seem to use that for both global and China versions. As far as I can tell it’s not possible to see from the box alone whether the version you have is Global or a Chinese version flashed with a Global rom. I think you’re very reliant on the retailer having sourced it properly and not grey importing it from China.

Chaina version always runs Global Rom with ulocked bootloader. if you run Global Rom on your Mi8, and your bootloader is locked, then you probably have a real Global version of Mi8.

i have a chinese handset with global rom and unlocket bootloader.just came a miui 10 update can i do it without any problems??

Global version or China version?

Im planning to buy mi 8 this week and im not sure if the unit is global version. the reseller says that the unit has global rom but china box. is the unit a global version ? considering that it has china box? or it is china version with global rom installed? thanks!

Where to buy this phone

Hello, i am wondering where to buy this phone, because in the official redmagic website costs 479 but i found one on tradingshenzen for 417.
The only "but" is that the one on tradingshenzhen is the chinese phone with a global rom, while the other one is officially for Europe.
Is the European rom different from global rom? I don't know if i should take it for less being chinese or just grab it from their website.
Thanks in advance!

There's the Chinese rom, and then there's the NA/EU Global rom.

How do you differentiate the Chinese ROM and Global ROM (NA/EU)?
I ordered one from their website when it first launched and I am located at SEA, specifically Singapore. My red magic 3 build number is NX629J_ENCommon_V2.10
So tell me, how do you know which NA/EU unit that I have based on that build number ?
Thank you

Question Change versions

Hello
I am a bit lost as it is the first time I buy a Chinese phone. In the box my OP is clearly Chinese as everything is in Chinese and the version shown on the box is "NE2210"
That is clear to me and the seller told me as well so no question about.
When I see my device version it shows "NE2215" and I am not sure witch version is this one. Is it American European or other different one?
The version shown is precisely NE2215_11_C.21
I would like to have the European version if possible because I live in Spain.
I was checking about the bands as well and apparently the Chinese version has all the bands that Spanish companies use in 3,4 and 5g
Is there anything I have wrong and I can change or any perception mistake I should know.
Thank you for any answer in advance.
