is there any difference between these two apart from ROM? Will chinese k20 pro NFC work when I flash a custom rom?
asking because will buy one soon, k20 is cheaper but I've seen on gsmarena that k20pro nfc works only in china and that's basically the only thing that would force me to choose it over 9tpro
Different bands pal

networks in every country that I've been so far (europe/scandinavia) work well on redmi note 3 which has less band support, should be fine, no?
there's that `NFC (china only)` thing in K20 column, will I be able to use it in europe after flashing a custom rom?

You can use it with the Chinese ROM. Not sure where this has come from that it only works in China. The issue is more about tap to pay apps don't work on the Chinese ROM. I know GPay doesn't play with Chinese MIUI, but not sure what else doesn't.
Once you've installed a custom ROM, then it's irrelevant (obviously excluding Indian models) which version of the phone you have. Any fixes required to get financial and tap to pay apps will work on all models with NFC hardware.

K20 Pro is released in China and India. Indian model, despite sharing the name, doesn't have NFC.
K20 PRO / Mi9T PRO ROM
I have mine ( K20 PRO ) with Mi9T PRO Global ROM. Everything works fine in, NFC works too.
Is the global Mi 9T Pro with dual band GPS?

Yes.. both official stable global and eea.
Be aware of the differences between the Chinese K20Pro and the Indian.
Chinese: no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom
Indian: no NFC, no band 20, no widevine L1 after flashing non stock rom.
Also there are hardware differences between the K20Pro and the 9T Pro.
Read very well all topics around flashing forward and back from stock to different Rom's and disregarding some don'ts put many here with a bricked or semi-bricked phone!!!

The only known hardware difference between all models is that the Indian model does not have the NFC coil. Otherwise they are identical.

No hardware/software wise band 20 is not there and it is a Qualcomm firmware thingy that blocked band 20 for all K20(Pro).
You can flash any Rom that you want but on as well the Indian as the Chinese K20(Pro) band 20 is not available.

Yes, but that is firmware, like your say. Physical hardware is the same, it's the firmware (software) controlling it that is different.

Is there any source to finde latest basebands for Xiaomi Redmi 4X ?
And is it possible to flash it ?
Would be interesting to get any with LTE band 20.
Just updated to new global version 8.2.9.0 from 8.2.0.2.
There is also coming a little baseband update with it.
Before is was .2.c8-00006-8940_GEN_PACK-1_V003
and now it is .2.c8-00006-8940_GEN_PACK-1_V042.
Hope that also band 20 for LTE will come once with a standard update, because the hardware should be fine for it.
Would be great for users / customers in central europe around germany esp.
How can I downgrade the baseband? My 4x only has 2g signal
I have Redmi 4X (santoni) and I b20 was working already when I bought it. Now I use Xiaomi.eu MIUI 8 (Android N 7.1.2) and everything works perfectly.
I 've bought redmi 4x Global from GearBest but I don't know if it supports B20.
The box writes:
Product Name / Product Model: Mobile Phone / MAG138
Can someone confirm if it is indeed the global version and supports B20 ?
I am not 100% sure but I read that few times:
If you got english packaging you should have the international Version with band 20....
There are 3 different Versions to buy.
You can see it eg at geekbuying:
Version 1 : Normal 4x with english and chinese Rom - no Band 20
Version 2: Global Rom 4x with Multilanguage Rom - no Band 20
Version 3: Global Version 4x with Multilanguage Rom - including Band 20

Go to your order at the Gearbest shop and click on the link to the phone.
If you see Global version you have B20, as you can see at the specs (4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20)
Confusing part.......If you see the International version then you don't have B20 (4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8)

any way to unlock LTE band 800mh - (20) in xiaomi redmi 4x 2g/16 chinese version????
pls help. I bought this phone but havent band 20
(bootloader is unlock and rom is rooted)
I'm following the same question:
is it possible to unlock B20 on any 4X just flashing the right international ROM or
it is necessary to buy a different version of the phone
(i.e. B20 depends on software only or on hardware difference too ???)

I didn't buy it from Gearbest, it was from one of Czech e-shops. I wasn't aware of the different HW versions.
I think I'm just going to get the Global version on geekbuying with 3GB RAM, $124.99 is a really good price.
as far as i know the problem is not the modem, but the antenna. it needs a different one. you can try to modify the nvram if you know how to do it. you also need B20 configuration values for that. but maybe it really have other hardware requirements.
For Band 20 (EU, Germany) definitely buy the GLOBAL VERSION, on the box it clearly states Band 20 amongst others
China doesn't use Band 20 for LTE, so it's not supported on the China market phones.
Reading from other phones threads, it's not possible to add band 20 to phones without it.
Who tried modding the phone's reserved system partitions, ended up with a non-working phone modem/radio.
So, you must check the supported bands on the phone before you buy it.

As seems Xiaomi unfortunately decided not to bring the pro version to Europe (no mi 9t pro) I am wondering if it is possible to make the missing B20 available on the Redmi K20 pro.
I am guessing it is not hardware limitation, right?
It's maybe not hardware limited. But need the current Qualcomm QPST tool to configure LTE bands for 845 and later SOC 855.
The previous version QPST tool (can find in XDA)can only add bands for old SOCs like 820/835 etc.
Some newer QPST tool can be downloaded from other site, but need a available account to log in.
isn't mi 9 using the same modem (x24)? Perhaps we can use its baseband

Same hardware, different configuration file, maybe the baseband partition is strongly encrypted by Qualcomm.
I've tried to force flashing mi 8 firmware into poco f1 (same SOC, and f1 lacks some frequency bands), no baseband is added to poco f1.
So I guess, if users force flashing mi 9 firmware into k20pro, k20pro's baseband may not change.
Sounds not promising
Hopefully we'll find something anyway

Started looking into this for the Redmi Note 7 Pro which as we know never had a global release. I live in the United States and need more bands to get decent coverage. Sounded complicated with the possibility of bricking the phone. I'll have to wait for the official global release if it does come. They didn't rule it out yet as they did before the Redmi Note 7 global version came out. These were some comments earlier on GSMArena about possible delays. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-global-t3939580
Does not sound promising, indeed.
I really need B20 for Germany, so I am really thinking about getting the Lenovo Z6 instead. Yes I know, it has a small notch but I need a replacement.
Will this work? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note/general/unlock-lte-bands-step-step-xiaomi-mi-t3084774
No go for Band 20, but lots of people managed to unlock Band 4 in this thread. I'd love to hand band 4 on the K20 Pro.

If I remember correctly Xiaomi Mi Note has Snapdragon 810. To be functional in the Xiaomi K20 Pro we would need a version of QPST and QXDM updated and functional with SD 845 and 855, as the partner above said.
Maybe it will be possible soon, do not dismiss it. We must be optimists.

I thought the same when I saw this info, but if you look further at other releases and ROMs for another device, you'll notice they are very careful with this info. You will notice too that it's many bands, but it's not all.
I guess if Mi9 has already, we'll find a way (eventually) to unlock the bands.
its must be a stuppid question, but what have we got to loose, right...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Alltough the bands used by all the carriers in my country are all supported, i've read somewhere on the mi 11 forum that the modem settings for china are different from the global/eu rom ( at least for the mi 11 ).
Wanted to know if i flash the original global/eea rom from xiaomi via the official tool, will i also get the modem configuration from the global/eea rom ? ( Just like the global mi 11 ultra )
Cheers !

i think you can BUT, don NOT lock the BL when you have a cn version running global or EEA.
As far as i know you can flash other versions as long as you keep BL unlocked, or it wil brick and you need EDL

You can unbrick now without edl iirc
There is a method on YouTube but I haven't needed to try it yet
When you down load the ZIP document with ROM every week, boot (kernel) & device ... Some instances it is also called modem or baseband (no idea what is the right ... I have Mi4w with miui7 ultimate international builders model.

If you mean the modem configuration like unlock needed bands it won't work.
I am not sure, but I guess it can be done. As far as I know, you can flash other versions after you keep the BL unlocked, I hope it works for you.
I'm on a china model in the US with the global rom installed...I would love to be able to use 5g. I would have to believe that if the hardware supports 5G and the modem software is preventing it there must be a way to get it to work.

Are you on global or EU? I bet if you switch back to Chinese, you'll have it working.

i'm on global. i bet you are correct about switching back to the china version...that's why i am thinking it is a software issue which like the OP I am hoping someone can resolve.

I do not have 5g where I live, so I can't answer if it's working or not.

This is an older thread but wondering (1) did the baseband change to global after flashing the global rom? (2) Did it then pick up the band 66 (IF broadcast by your carrier in your area...not necessarily everywhere) Thanks
edit...folks are imo incorrectly focused on 5g (getting 5g or not) as its deployment is very spotty. Further if you check via signal check lite or Lte discovery apps, you will see that even if the phone shows 5G in status bar (lots of folks say they 'get' 5g based on that) the actual band is an LTE band usually (this is even with Apple iphones-have tested them out both on Tmobile and AT&T in my area...the 5G is mostly bunk imo and just marketing). ANyway, I digress. Does the flashing of global rom change the baseband to the global baseband and is the phone then able to pick up LTE 66 IF broadcast in your area?
