Global ROM vs EU ROM? Shall I switch.

My OP7Pro is the international variant with Global ROM installed. I'd be soon permanently moving to the EU region, and just had this doubt if the global ROM has any difference related to modem/band settings than EU region.
I have read that apart from certain debloat due to EU restrictions, EU rom is same as the global ROM. So should I be fine living in EU flashed with global ROM and International variant of OP7Pro?

Anyone?

I don't think you will suffer in any way. A quick Google search shows that the vast majority of bands are covered and the biggest difference is the amount of bloatware on the global version compared to the eu version.

Im in the UK and have the global rom. Only reason I wanted it is the added equaliser in dolby atmos settings. Works with 4g,VoLTE etc, no problems here. I know that's the opposite to what you are saying, but you should be fine also I have no bloat on either rom minus a few one plus apps, which I had on EU rom anyway. Can all be uninstalled easily

Thanks guys, this solves my doubt. :fingers-crossed::good:

Can I convert Chinese 8T to Global ?

per OP official store, it is possible. they sell CN variant with preinstalled Global ROM.

Is it safe to switch from EEA ROM to the Global version?

Hello,
I live in Latin America and I have the EEA version of this phone.
I download both EEA and Global ROMs (V12.2.4.0); I compare the firmware and vendor binaries, which are different. All the ROMs in this forum recommend using the Global version as a base, so I want to know if is it safe to make the change?
Is there a difference in the hardware of the phones sold in Europe compared to the rest of the world?
I read someone in this forum saying that he had switched to the global version and his phone had network throubles, no matter he flashes again the EEA version. Maybe the modems of some phones are different?

The difference between the global rom and the European rom is the European rom meets the European laws in force: limitations of personal data, limitations of certain functionality.
You can after unlocking the bootloader install the global rom without networks problem.
You can also install xiaomi Chinese roms.

Question Xiaomi 12 CN version with Global rom vs Global Version

So my current phone is dying ( Samsung green screen) and after looking and comparing a lot of phones (on paper using kimovil)
I have decided that the best value for money for me is the Xiaomi 12
But when looking on Aliexpress I have seen that there are 2 version, Chinese and Global
Global version has extra 4g bands (I need 28a and 32) , while CN version does not have them.
If I install the Global official Rom from xiaomi on chinses version device , will this enable the extra missing 4G bands ?

Nope, you will have to buy a global version, but check that it is not a CN version with a global rom.

Thanks for the Answer.
And that is exactly what I am afraid of that the seller says it is global version and in fact it is just a chinsese with global rom.

Xiaomi 12 CUPID:
Version 2201123G=GLOBAL
Version 2201123C=Chinese

Question Is there any possibility to add/modify 5g support bands?

As we know CN set and Global set supporting different 5g bands, which I can't use 5G if I purchase CN set at my country, just wondering if there is any chances to edit/modify from modem?

Wait for the Global version.

Its impossible

Yes global version is here now but if I install CN rom on global set, will I get global support bands?

It's a question of Hardware not Software.
