Hello everyone, I'm from Colombia and for phones to work here, they need to be certified by some other countries’ agency like FCC or TENAA.
I’ve found the Mi 9T Pro documents at the FCC, but apparently that model will have different TAC codes, so that means K20 Pros would not be able to be covered by the 9T Pro’s certification.
Would anyone know where I can get the K20 Pro’s TENAA documentation?
Is the K20 Pro certified in other countries other than China where I could get the documentation?

The K20 Pro is only released in China and India. It will be released as the Mi 9T Pro everywhere else. You could try getting documentation from India but you may have the same problem. The Indian models are built in India and are not exactly the same. They have missing NFC hardware and they have slightly different LTE bands enabled, so you may find that any Indian certificates also don't exactly match the Chinese model.

Good day Sir / Ma'am,
To those that can possible answer the question, as you all know, Mi 9T Pro and K20 Pro are technically the same except for the branding. Should the Mi 9T Pro becomes available, is there away someone can get the global rom work with the K20 pro? And what's the probability of the future Mi 9T Pro roms to work on the K20 pro (eg lineage os, rr, pixel experience etc)?
Just wait for Xiaomi EU forums to do roms for it

Hi. Do Xiaomi EU makes rom outside of MIUI components like stock based rom?
Hello. I don't know whether to buy the K20 pro or the 9T.
Do you think both these phones will receive many official AOSP roms?

Won't the Redmi k20 pro and the Redmi k20 get the same level of custom ROM support? From a developer's perspective, the only difference is the processor (SD855 VS SD730).

I am guessing processors SD855 and SD730 has different components. So I doubt that the same rom would work on both.

K20 and k20 pro totally different. More support will be on pro version i guess. 855 resources are easily available now. Pixel ROM CAF version maybe easy for devs to build

If I am not mistaking, the difficulty in developing custom ROMs does not lie in compatibility with Qualcomm processors. The sources of the Snapdragon processors of Qualcomm are published and available to the public.
As far as I can see there is no 9T pro,just rumours that it is the k20 pro but as only the k20 was announced in Europe yesterday
I don't believe there is s 9T pro at all

Hmmm. If so, will the k20 pro be available globally with a global rom? Or will only be in china that has to be imported in global market?

Thats not true. They only claimed in russia that there is a Mi 9T Pro but they did not know when it will be available (global marked).
If I purchase the one with Chinese ROM, will I be able to replace the ROM for the Global version? I'm so in love with the phone that I'm about to purchase the Chinese Version. The only thing that is preventing me to do so is the fear of not having the possibility to update the ROM later. Does anyone know if it will be possible? Thanks!
On Honor buy it says English and Chinese version with Google play pre installed,
Does that mean it is Global,I assume you could do all you need here with OTAs ,apps etc.

If K20 became the Mi 9T, is it possible that K20 pro would be rebranded as the Pocophone F2? just wondering? maybe its possible?

That's what they were saying initially,then roumers came of it being the 9T pro.
It is certainly a possibility it will be rebranded the Poco f2,
Either way,seems like we will be waiting a while for it
There has been reports in a few tech sites of a Geek Bench set of scores for an alleged Mi 9T Pro, that suggest it's a K20 Pro (it had the same motherboard name of raphael). Granted that could have been a fake, so it's certainly not real proof the Mi 9T Pro will arrive. https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/x...geekbench-listing-confirms-rebranded-k20-pro/

Yes. But you can only change from Chinese to Global ROM once the bootloader is unlocked. You will have to wait 15 days to unlock the bootloader.
This comes with limited LTE bands, so check first that it covers the bands you'll need. Changing to the global ROM won't magically open up all global bands.

That's the part people aren't understanding. A lot of these sellers install a "global" ROM with multi-languages and Google Play Store, but they're not the actual official global version due to band restrictions. I live in the United States so pay attention to that. Here's my post from a few minutes ago about possible delays in the release of the official global version. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-global-t3939580
Hi,
I live in France and I'm looking for a k20 pro with the bands B20 and B28.
It seems that the Indians version of this phone is the one I need.
Do you know a way to buy the k20 pro in India with delivery in France?
Thank you for your help.

The Indian K20 Pro does NOT have either LTE band 20 or 28.
This is the official Indian website, scroll to the supported network bands.
https://mobile.mi.com/in/redmi-k20-pro/?RNType=product&product_id=redmi-k20-pro
Oh! I was thinking that I'll find those bands in this version ...
Only hope is an European release I guess...
Thank you for the tip
i think the difference between china and india version are the widevine L1 certification and the poco launcher as a stock launcher, also the package of india version is different
GApps, Google store and Google assistant are also available in the India version (I mean without touching anything)? Already included?
By the way, better go for the mi9t or the mimix 3?
Thank

mi mix 3 is 27 grams more heavy , doesn't have widevine L1 , also no headphone jack , 3200 mah , if you care about this thing , all the time Mi9T, 4000 battery, jack, widevine L1 , 730 is kind of snap 835 runs very good.
ah MI MIX 3 has OIS and better camera with gcam i think

Looking to get the k20 pro not the mi 9t pro as I'm on virgin and don't need band 20.
Also the mi9t pro is more expensive.
Will the Google pay work on the k20 pro

Have a look on the German Amazon site, it's a lot cheaper than elsewhere in Europe. They should deliver to the UK, or at least they used to, it's been a few years since I've ordered something from there.
https://www.amazon.de/Xiaomi-Mi-9T-...o&qid=1566340354&s=gateway&sprefix=k20&sr=8-1
If you go with AliExpress then look at this guide, the part on fixing gpay should be relevant if you then change the ROM. Even if you flash the official global ROM you won't be able to relock the bootloader, so this should still be relevant.

I already have the mi9t standard I just want the sd855 for emulating purposes and the 4k 60fps
I'm trying to understand the comparisons and the best one to go for.
I've recently become aware of the phones since I'm now hunting one for my wife.
I got excited to watch a review about the Redmi K20 Pro until I understood it was primarily for the Chinese & Indian market, and it doesn't support band 20.
I'm in the UK so it looks like I must import one and be mindful of the lack of band 20. Importing is not an issue for me since I've done with my Xiaomi Max 3 when it first came out.
But then I started to get a little confused because the review was comparing it to a Xiaomi Mi 9T and other sites said they were identical. They're not though as the Redmi has a better CPU but it is however, the same as the 9T 'Pro'. I realised (especially because of the title of this forum!) that the two Pros are the same except the 9T Pro is for the European market. Please let me know if I'm wrong at this point.
So, now for me, it comes down to the price versus band 20. Does anyone know when the 9T Pro is being released if not already because I can only find it to pre-order?
Also, will the difference between the 2 phones only be the bands?
I get the feeling the 9T Pro is going to be more expensive, how much I don't know but if it's going to be long time before it's released, I will consider the Redmi K20 Pro instead.
If you can see what my predicaments are then I'd be grateful for any advice about this and recommendations.
Thanks very much.
So i bought the k20 pro a few weeks ago and received it last Friday. The LTE connectivity is good for me in the Netherlands.
A friend of mine bought the mi 9t pro last week trough dutch smartphone seller belsimpel.nl and received his phone yesterday.
The phones are exactly the same, hardware wise. Firmware wise they differ. The 9T pro firmware has support for band 20, like you said.
But in theory the k20 pro should be able to support it band 20 because there is no hardware difference.
At the moment it is not clear yet whether the European firmware can be installed on the k20 pro since it is Qualcomm proprietary software. (this is what i read somewhere on this forum, correct me if iam wrong anyone)
Perhaps someone will be able to find a solution for that, but i don't know for sure whether its possible.
Hi,
I'm on the point of buying Redmi K20 Pro
However I noticed the forums here were described as "Redmi K20 and Mi 9T" - so wondered if the two phones were the same (or not) and whether the different names were just to reflect marketing and branding?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Both are the same. K20 Pro is sold as Mi 9T pro as the Global variant.
The only difference is B20 LTE Band
But it may be unlockable in the future

Mi 9t Pro has band 20. This is particularly useful in Europe where it is used extensively.
Also I believe that Mi 9t Pro has Widevine L1 certification not present on K20. Important to some people.

The K20 series is also missing B28, which is significant here in Australia and possibly in other countries.
I hope it's ok to ask in this thread.
What are the differences in the firmware flashing?
I am using it a day right now and Miui is not really what I expected... So I may flash it after Miui 11 comes out.
The Roms are compatible between K20 Pro and Mi 9t Pro? Both are "Raphael"? There is no problem with frequency if I flash a "K20 Pro Rom"?
If I use another Rom, I still can use the three cameras? (My first multi cam phone)
