Oic.

Thanks for the verify bro.

OK guys, chiu all have heard it. There is a 6GB Global Version afterall.

For those wanting that, pls do get the HK one.

Chop + confirm by Hailgod.

 

[kinderbuenojhj]

Correct, 6G ram is the chinese set, with Miui 9 chinese rom, and no google play installed. You have to install the google play yourself, or try to see whether the global rom can flash into it.

no. theres 6gb global.

But this is india set? They stated the specs wiith 20mp on the front.

 

[kinderbuenojhj]

32gb/3gb for 194, 64gb/4gb for 234 and 6gb/64gb for 284..

Get a set of black 64gb to use as spare or maybe main phone..

From JTBC shopee.. after using $5 off coupon

definitely... but do take note that set is export set and JTBC offer 6mth warranty.. they have a shop in singapore. set likely is china set and using china rom... likely JTBC will install playstore already just like when i bought redmi 5 plus from them during jan feb...just uninstall all those useless china apps in china rom and u are good to go... not necessary die die must use global rom .. cause usually china rom get updates quicker and got more features which global dun have.. but global is default have goggle service playstore etc

Oic, no wonder it's cheaper than the Global Version.

Smart of these ppl, get the cheaper set with Tiong ROM and then flash global rom into it.

Rike dat they can stop the producing of Global Version riao.

thats how all the resellers work. which is why all the boxes are not factory sealed but resealed by resellers.

We dont use band 20 here and nobody can even tell the difference between the 2 versions once the reseller installs global rom.

Is that the same goes for the HK 6GB one ?

It's actually a Tiong set (originally with Tiong rom) but the reseller open it up and flash global rom into it ?

No wonder chiu keep mentioning there is a 6GB "global version" in HK.

rmn5 local set finally coming...

Think it will be much more sexpensive than sexport sets.

But at least, local set means will have warranty and whatnot.

Careful bro.

India set - They call it RN5 Pro.

Tiong set (include Global Version) - Tiongs call it RN5.

Moi at first abit confused too.

But moi differentiate the 2 by its front cam.

India got 20MP front cam while Tiongs got 13MP.

Well India set now can flashed to global as well.

This is China set or Indian set?

If it's China set, the price is very good!

Actually, my Senpais already did, hee. Only thing I did differently was I chose the option "Clean all" only during my Flash stage.

I did it myself all the way from binding phone to account, install Mi Unlock for unlocking bootloader, download and use MiFlash to install WHYRED 9.2.7 Global rom, unlock bootloader again, update to global 9.5.6 rom. This was my first time and took quite awhile to research how it was done properly. Luckily still succeeded though all files lost without backup

Correct me if i am wrong.
Step 1:
Install MiUnlock to unlocking bootloader
Step 2:
Use MiFlash to install WHYRED 9.2.7 (this is to make it to a lower ROM first)
Step 3:
Install MiUnlock to unlocking bootloader again
Step 4:
Use MiFlash to install Global ROM 9.5.6

i think you are clearly mistaken. hk isnt china. hk needs google services. hk needs global rom. hk has 6gb version with b20 on sale.
all of these info can be found in xiaomi hk website.
