nobody sells Indian sets here. its either local global, exported global or exported china.

Sent from Xiaomi REDMI NOTE 5 using GAGT

When you says Indian sets, do you mean the SD625 model: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_(redmi_5_plus)-8959.php?

Based on gsmarena it is released in China too. I checked on Xiaomi China website, it is being sold there but branded as Redmi 5 Plus: https://www.mi.com/redmi5/specs/

Or are you referring to Redmi Note 5 Pro: https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_5_pro-8893.php? I couldn't find it on Xiaomi China website

Good point! Paging for alanlimct, pls check does your set come with 2 pin or UK 3pin plug :s13::s13::s13:

The best way to identify of it's an HK or CN set is to see what charger plug is bundled in the phone packaging box.

HK supplies the 3-pin UK plug, while CN supplies the flat 2-pin plug.

Two pin type .
Is it the flat one, like this:

?

or round one, like this:

?

If it is the flat one, then it is a China set but JTBC flashed Global ROM for you and reselead the box.

Not sure about that that because all the xiaomi phones I bought are china set flashed to global rom. Haven't purchased any global set.

Anyway, amazingone already pointed out we can tell but looking at the charger pin type.

or you could just look at the box?

global version says global version.

Hitec claims that the Global Version they are selling comes bundled with a round 2-pin plug

And powerfam3 bought from them also claimed the same too, and it comes with Global ROM too. Verification check at Xiaomi website indicates the set's delivery address is to the Russian Federation.

But don't think that's Redmi Note 5 AI Dual Camera, it looks more like Redmi Note 5 Pro to me.

The top flat type . No sure whether they reseal or not . However can't find any finger print on the phone when taking out the phone . Maybe they already clean it before reseal . Box never mention global set or China set . However did mention front camera is 13 m pixel. Back dual camera with 1.4um .

Delivery address is China . So I guess is China set flash with global ROM .

Is it the flat one, like this:

?

or round one, like this:
C_3d_plug_m.png
?

You all make it sound like Rocket science determining what set is it. Very simple, china set will have chinese wording on box 红米 Note 5 and chinese instruction manual You wont find it in global or india sets.

And also back to whether Global or China ROM. The screenshot i showed has the word Global, this is after i flashed it. China rom will just have lots of chinese apps (fancy but not much real use outside china). Easy to differentiate
