I would also be interested. I have the same model with 6gb of ram.

C432 is what you're after.

Thank you. So we would have to use a tool like FunkyHuawei to switch from the chinese version to the international one, is that right?
Will we have to unlock our bootloader?
Are there any guides out there that explain the steps?
Thank you so much.

I have called Huawei in Europe today and they have told me that changing the Version from China to Europe is no problem at all and does not require to unlock the bootloader. The guarantee will not void as long as you use official huawei builds.
This is rxactly what he has told me.

And did he say how to do that?
I have the same one and i would change to the europien rom, too

Hi folks,

There is NOT one. Only single SIM variants in USA and Canada

Do you know whether there's a Chinese Z4 version like for Z3 (without "Play")? Z3 for US market is only Single SIM, but Chinese version is Dual SIM (with even more RAM). Maybe, it's the same with Z4...?

I've checked but there doesn't appear to be a Chinese version

Dual sim for global version possible?

Hi guys !
Is it possible to convert the global version to a dual sim if you get like the dual sim tray from the chinese version and put it inside the global phone and work with both sims?
Or you need other things like a custom rom that enables the 2nd sim? I find it very curious why they opted for the single sim tray for the global version considering that i don't think they did any modification under the hood of the phone.
For me it's horrible going from a dual sim phone to a single sim considering that most of the people have one personal sim and one for work

It would be very interesting if someone managed to try the chinese version's sim tray because it looks like the hw is all there
I wonder if it could be this easy tho

Someone one the Mi 10 forum just tried and didn't work, at least with the global ROM. Maybe with the xiaomi.eu ROM......

check the global version from hong kong which seems to have enabled dual sim but check if the network bands are compatible in your country.

Check here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-10-pro/help/to-xiaomi-mi-10-pro-global-version-t4077141
It's Global version with DUAL SIM.
You're welcome

What do you mean Global Version dual sim?
With the Hong Kong Mi10 Pro, if i slot the 2nd sim in, will the phone really become dual sim?

Why not buying Chinese version and flash xiaomi.eu rom

if buying a china phone and flash it with Europe rom, will the phone be dual sim?

Yes but you won't have all of the 4g bands needed for Europe

because flashing rom will disable your banking apps.

If flash it will Europe ROM, will the phone need to be rooted? i worry after flashing, i wont pass Android Safetynet Test... thus cannot use Google Pay.

no need to root but you have to settle with unlocked bootloader

An Stupid move from Xiaomi, not just sell the Global version with higher price, but to release it with one sim slot! After 8 year with Xiaomi, I'm moving to ONEPLUS 8 Pro. I'm so upset because of that, have to sell my others Xiaomi gadgets! But i will do that because they proved so many times that don't care about customers opinion! China, the b a s t a r ds that spread a virus and earn money from it !

I flashed xiaomi.eu to my mi note 10 and before it mi 9 pro 5g which was China exclusive
I had no problems with banking apps not Netflix for example
Did u have any experience with any mi device that broke ur banking applications?

There wont be any problems because his post was false. You keep your safetynet status and widevine L1 if you flash the eu rom. Everything is working.
Also, to finally answer the question: Someone on the german forum "android-hilfe" flashed the EU Rom on his Global mi 10 pro, and automatically got 2 IMEI numbers assigned. It looks like everyone should be able to just flash the eu rom and use the dual sim feature, even if you have the global variant.

I stand corrected.. My worry is if I have an unlocked bootloader, some function will not work like safetynet, etc.. I don't really care about root anymore, I just don't wanna break anything om the phone. By the way, great to learn that CN version can be flashed with eu rom without a problem. same goes for global version to enable dual sim.

Everything works with unlocked bootloader, obviously I don't try you're banking app, gpay working fine on EU, so basically someone needs to buy a dual SIM tray and see if it works? I'm on Chinese version

I'm waiting for the double tray to arrive and I'll try the European rum. If it does not work, I will flash Xiaomi.eu rom. I have this setting in my Mi10 with stock rom. This is single sim version.

CN version Mi 10 Pro with Global Software

Hi all,
I just ordered a Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro from an online shop in my country, Bulgaria.
It turns out it is the CN version with Dual SIM but with Global software installed on it, whatever this means.
I have thus a few questions:
- Will I have regular updated of the OS in this case?
- Will the phone be compatible with all the LTE / 5G bands in all Europe (it is important that it works everywhere because I travel a lot)?
- Will all the functions work properly?
Thank you in advance!

If they misrepresented this as the Global version, then return it and get the real thing. There is no guarantee that secure apps will work or continue to work and I believe that the 5G antenna is different on the Chinese version (but I might be wrong).

They said it's the Chinese version with the Global software. My main concern is exactly the antena and eventually the OS updates...

I don't know how it has global software, if you keep it you can only unlock the bootloader if they didn't already do it and relock it. Worrying too say the least, I have Chinese version with EU ROM installed but I did that myself, I heard 5g working fine in EU I haven't been anywhere I can test with the lockdown. It's possible they have left it unlocked would be better if you can do it with your own account.

Could you send me/us the link for the tutorial you followed on installing the Global ROM on the Chinese phone? Does it work perfectly with google apps and dual sim? Are there any issues? Thanks

I installed the EU ROM using twrp have to unlock bootloader first tho. I haven't tried 2 Sims but I'm sure that will work just fine. EU ROM is better than global anyway.

I am also tempted to buy the CN version from Giztop with Google apps installed. I'm planning to unlock it eventually and flash eu rom on it. Can I update the phone through built-in software update? or do i need to flash it everytime? what's the downside of doing it aside from getting your bootloader unlocked?

Global v CN
I have researched this in depth as some of the specs are different on different websites selling it. From what I've seen, the CN dual SIM version with app store added lacks a significant Band 20 for Europe LTE, whereas the single SIM Global Version has the band 20; Xiaomi have said the Global version will be single SIM only. I believe Google Pay will not work on the CN version: you can check the different specs out at wonda mobile a Hong Kong seller. I believe it is possible to flash the EU ROM down the line but haven't come across a method to follow.

Hi, I am also from Bulgaria. My phone is coming today or tomorrow from China as well. It's a chinese version 12/256GB. On chinese version you can easily install Google services, but languages are 5-6 total and english of course.
If they say they have loaded bulgarian language, most probably they have installed Xiaomi EU rom. If you have any other question - I will be happy to help.

I may get the giztop Pro version(china) with the global rom flashed.
As long as someone has a Authorized Xiaomi Account. They can use the Xiaomi tool to flash.
But I can't find out if the 5G will work on the Three network in the UK

I'm very close on pulling the trigger on mi 10 pro CN but not flashed with global rom. only with google apps installed because I wanna unlock the bootloader by myself and flash eu rom. If you buy the CN version with global rom flashed, they will have the code for unlocking the bootloader and I doubt if you can get the code from giztop.

You have to use MI unlock tool to unlock the bootloader. You will have to wait 7 days and you will be authorized for an unlock.

5G
Hi, bands are as in image for UK. Note again for 4G Band 20 is absent on CN version. All 5G in UK is 5G NR band n78 which is present in both CN and global version of the phone.

In my part of the world, we use B3 and B28. CN version only have B3 and no B28. Does that mean I wont have 4G in some areas? Now I'm leaning towards buying the Global now.

Try flash global rom,then back to cn rom, will lose one sim and auto reboot.

I order these all the time, this the Chinese rom with Google apps sideloaded more than likely. I'm not entirely sure if there is even a global rom available yet. That being said, your software will be one of those two options. More then likely, the former. The hardware will be Chinese, so 5G will not be supported here in the USA, just 4G LTE and not all bands at that.
You will get the MIUI updates, but not the Google updates. This is solved rather easily though by installing rom from Xiaomi.eu. These ROMs are installed using TWRP and are updated weekly with MIUI, as well as, Google updates.

I think if you are buying cn version it's best to get without play store, that's what I did, all you need is play store APK, all frame work is already there

Giztop has emailed me say that they will flash the Global rom which they get from Xiaomi.
I did say I don't want the Xiaomi EU version.
I think I will take a punt. But I bet it will take weeks to get here via DHL?

I'm very intrigued to knowing how this turns out! I want to do the same thing. I just don't know how trust worthy Giztop is as far as flashing the official Rom and what risks that has.

Dual sim + EU

Hello,
I'm getting my Chinese Mi 10 Pro in 3 days. It has Global ROM pre-installed but I think it's probably better to flash the EU rom.
Does anyone know if the dual sim work with EU rom?
Thanks!

Mi 10 Pro works fine with Xiaomi.eu ROM and dual SIM works perfectly

Yes , with EU rom dual sim worked. I Have MI 10Pro from China and I tried all of roms. EU rom based on China firmware.

I just got the global version, with single SIM. It really has a single sim tray which does not allow for a second SIM.
What I'm asking myself is: when I buy a dual sim tray and install xiaomi.eu firmware after unlock, am I then able to use the phone with dual SIM?

that's what people have been saying. dual sim works on xiaomi.eu rom if you replace the sim tray with dual.
