Hooted on Friday. Current order status is "Your package has been packed and is being handed over to a logistics partner".

Hope I will receive a set with global rom :o

Good deal on LAZADA. $289 for 6+64. If have LiveUp, only $275.

But how to tell this is Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera and not Redmi Note 5 Pro?

Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera = Front 13MP camera and back 12MP 1.4uM Camera

Redmi Note 5 Pro = Front 20MP and back 12MP 1.25uM Camera

That's the best price for a confirmed global rom right?

If Univercell is selling the Global Version, that will be the AI Dual Camera variant.

Are you sure about that? The Redmi Note 5 Pro released for India is also running on global rom.

Again, don't get confused btw model and rom type. Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera is released in several countries including China.

For China, the units come preloaded with China rom and countries like HK and SEA, they are preloaded with global rom.

If you are lucky, supplier may bring in stock meant for China market but flashed it to global ROM.

If Univercell is selling the Global Version, that will be the AI Dual Camera variant.

I am not to sure about it as I have seen shops selling Redmi Note 5 Pro i.e the one with 20MP front camera and here is one example: https://shopee.sg/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-5-4GB-64GB-1-Year-SG-Warranty-Set-i.11323894.1118166317

My understanding is Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera comes with 13MP front camera while Redmi Note 5 Pro comes with 20MP front camera.

https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_ai_dual_camera-9120.php

https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_pro-8893.php

This is based on specification published as I cannot see what's the colour of the box as it is not shown online by the shop.

She just tell me it is covered. I asked why the support can't just reply me via email, she only said previously (for older models) they don't cover.

That's good news. They ask you where you bought it from ?
I told them upfront that I purchased it off lazada and I want to check if it is under Singapore warranty.

No need official receipt? Sent from Xiaomi MI MAX using GAGT
I did pass the lazada invoice to her, she just glanced only.
