Nope it’s not and will not be so soon as they today Lazada still trying desperately trying to clear stock of mi 8 and Redmi note 7. The only new model is mi A3 but that is a downgrade actually due to the screen is 720p and side grade for the processor.

Anyway Malaysia is selling global official set. This afternoon I will be going to the shop to get “global set” note 8 pro white 128GB for 335 nets at shop

Shop at Little India
Is the shop univercell? Any warranty for export set?

Yes and 1 month and you can pay extra for longer warranty but I don’t see the point, not becos I don’t want the warranty, meaning if anything wrong they will batch send back to China and the batch send back or if minor they will send to local not authorised shop to fix so might as well I go to sim Lim sq to fix

Hi bro,

As of 15 oct, there is no local set as Xiaomi Sg is not launching note 8 (pro) in Sg yet.

Nearest is Malaysia for global set if not will be EU global sets ie all export sets

Non pro local set mah.

If I am not wrong, the Google mobile services is the underlying framework so after installing all the Google apps you should be able to download pogo and install

Could be Malaysia sets. Apparently the last few model releases, online retailers claim is Singapore warranty

Sent from Xiaomi POCOPHONE F1 using GAGT

If the xiaomi verification website says international set and does not say delivery Singapore. Does it mean it's not meant for Singapore ? Thanks very very much.
