with so many models coming, which is better buy?
redmi 6 pro, mi max 3, mi a2/lite or note 5

Mi A2 Lite is Redmi 6 Pro global version, good if you want a more affordable phone with stock Android build
Stock Android Build = Mi A2
Large Display = Mi Max 3
General good all rounder = Note 5
Depends on your priorities and needs.

50/50 chance you'll get a set with a fake rom. Unless it comes with china rom or global.. buy at your own risk. And don't bother to message them as they take ages to reply. Other than that, if no other models have this issue, it's the best offer

Seems like they are selling three versions:
- China set with original China MIUI ROM
- Global set with original Global MIUI ROM
- China set with modified MIUI ROM

The review below the modified ROM's review mentioned he got the Global Version aka. Global set.

I will only buy from them if they can guarantee a set that comes only with china/global rom

The most desired one will be the Global set, as it guarantees you with Global ROM preinstalled with Google Play apps.

The China set with China ROM is also acceptable if you don't mind manually installing Google Play to the phone.
