Hi,
I'm french and I need your help to make a choice between a Mi 9T Pro, a K20 Pro Global or a K20 Pro China.
I already now how to root, flash etc. but I'm not sure if it's more interesting to buy a K20 Pro in China version to flash a cleen Global Rom or to buy a K20 Pro in Global version which need to flash a China firmware before flash a Global Rom.
What should I do ?
Thanks

If you don't need HD streaming in Netflix, no Banking apps, and band 20 (or other global bands), then Chinese variant can be an option, probably cheaper than other variants.

If you’re tight on budget then buying K20 Pro Chinese model would be the cheapest option. If you have those extra bucks, then go for Mi 9T Pro. You could also buy the K20 Pro global version but that is only sold in India for now. All those chinese sellers claiming to sell you a Global variant are just fake. It would be a Chinese K20 Pro with a fake global rom on it.
You could anytime flash a Global rom on the Chinese unit but the only caveat is that you’ll have to keep the boot loader unlocked forever.

The biggest thing to consider is probably if you need LTE band 20.
The Chinese version will be considerably the cheapest option.
Even though the phone display is FHD+, you really won't see any benefit in watching FHD contact on the phone, so having Widevine L1 is not really worth worrying about.
You can overcome most security issues with banking apps buy using Magisk and installing appropriate modules to pass safety net.
If you decide to go with a Chinese phone, then it would probably be best to get it with the Chinese ROM and then unlock the phone yourself, then you are safe should you accidentally relock the phone later.
The main questions is this:
Those of you who have bought K20 Pro and are using it in Europe or somewhere else, are you facing significant drops in LTE signal? Please specify if you live in city or rural area.

It's more for the RAM and the Memory which are higher at lower price ^^

So if I buy a K20 Pro I will never relock the bootloader ? Should it be a problem for something ? I actually never relocked a bootloader on my previously phones.

I use my bank app so with a china mobile wouldn't it be unsecure ? But if I use Magisk and modules can I correct it and use my app safely ?
To everybody : Thanks for your answers, Im' not sure about B20 & B28 if I really need them

The problem with the unlocked bootloader is that it causes the phone to fail the SafetyNet test. Many banking apps won't work if it fails SafetyNet checks.
Using certain Magisk modules can hide the fact the bootloader is unlocked from the SafetyNet checks.

I use chinese rom and it works fine in the netherlands. better than my old one plus one.
Hello,
I want to buy the K20 pro from aliexpress but can not decide which version to buy, the Chinese or the Global.
Does it make a difference which version I pick, if I wipe the device anyway?
Or do I need the Global version for LTE to fully functioning in Germany?
Thanks in advance

This is a k20 pro chinese which means no band 20 for lte
You check google and some sites to know the bands you need
But you will either choose global rom ( with unlocked bootloader by the seller ) or chinese rom with locked bootloader
The one that has band 20 is the mi 9t pro
The mi 9t pro doesnot have a 256GB version till now as far as I know so for sure this is a k20 pro missing the band 20
For me in my country, we donot have band 20 used and if I travelled to an area where it is a must I will use 3g instead but if I am living in a band 20 area then it is a must

One german user bought the Global version from aliexpress and posted a screenshot of the system information in the comments on aliexpress. It shows Mi 9t pro.
Did someone on here bought the phone from aliexpress and can confirm that band 20 and lte are working?
Buy Global version. B20 may definitely come in handy especially in Europe. You can buy it here: https://www.eglobalcentral.de/xiaom...ne-sim-lock-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-schwarz.html or here: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-9-pro-hk-global-version-256-gb-unlocked.html
I bought it in the first shop
Versions from AliExpress are just normal K20 Pro without B20 support, even if they have flashed global rom
Definitly buy global version ( with b20 support) for germany , because you will see diference in rural areas where german operators use b20 band for 4g, lte coverage. I have k20 pro chinese ver and sometimes i dont have 4g,lte in those places.

Are you sure about this? I thought eglobal and wondamobile just import the same unlocked global version like on aliexpress (Redmi K20 pro) from Hongkong.

Yes I'm sure. Xiaomi released Global 8/256 version but only in HongKong. It supports B20 100%
They even say they released 8/256 M Mi 9T Pro on their page: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t-pro/specs
Also here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80449693&postcount=116
The version we speak of bought in eglobalcenter

I totally get your point, that's why I created this thread in the first place.
But how do you know, that the global version from aliexpress does not have the b20 band, but the global version from eglobal or wandamobile have the b20 band?

Honestly i'm not 100% sure but i've checked opinions about some of the more popular offers and they all said that it's just K20 Pro with flashed global ROM - not true Mi 9T Pro Global version and also I can't really find such offer that would explicitly say it's a global version with such specs. Either Mi 9T Pro 6/128 or K20 Pro 8/256 with flashed Global ROM (but still without B20)

If the system information screen says 'Mi 9t pro', then the phone would 100% have the B20 band, correct?

well as far as i know, not really. After all it could be normal K20 Pro with flashed Global ROM. If you flash that rom it will change name according to the region. You would have to check if the device has locked or unlocked bootloader. If it has locked BL and name Mi 9T Pro then it's very possible it's a model with B20 support because you can't lock a bootloader on K20 Pro with flashed global rom.

Ok, thanks pal. Then I'll go with the 6/128GB version from eglobal. It's the more safe option.
I also think this is good enough hardware for a casual user anyway.

Yeah I also think 6/128 it's more than enough. Good luck
The Mi 9T Pro 8GB/256GB is on sale at the moment and 20€ cheaper.
I have 2 Mi 11 phone one is M2011K2G = Global Model its can used 3CA in Thailand fine but for China Model (CN) = M2011K2C its only 2CA
I tried to flash Global ROM on Mi11 (CN) and check software in every details (baseband,kernel,etc.) , Its will the same as Global Model
How possible to used 3CA or set combination of LTE on Mi11 CN version?
Dear All,
I am going to buy Redmi 9. I am living in Europe.
The seller proposes 3/32 EU version and 4/64 Asia version (latest has no NFC but it is not critical first me).
I was told Asia version will not support some European frequencies as well as it will be flashed with EU ROM, but it is strongly recommended do not update or reflash.
Is it really an issue for Asian version? I didn't find any mentions about frequencies restriction and big problems of reflashing (with unlocked bootloader of course)?
I wonder...why drought the reseller?
here you can find models and frequencies info

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.
