Hi nebula72,
Yes, to comply to European laws, the matching version apparently has less bloatware and gives more choices on search engine & browser.
And yes (I'm sure you want to know...), you apparently can, without any issue, flash an EU OOS on top of a Global model, and vice versa.
See here for details :

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:

Mi 10 Pro with Global Rom installed

Hey peeps. I was talking to a Rep at Giztop because I'm interested in the Mi 10 Pro. Due to the obvious price differences between the official Global version and China version I've been looking more towards the Chinese version. Anyways..
The Rep told me they will install the Official Global Rom onto the device before shipment.
Question :
A) Are there any risks to this?
B) Has anyone had experience with Giztop to confirm that they use the Official Global Rom? And not some baked up version
C) Is this site in anyway accurate? According to it the Chinese version supports way more bands in Canada then the global version
Since I'm a new user I can't post the link without the edits.

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 How can I replace the Chinese version system with the EU one?

I just asked realme EU. The 12+512GB version won't show itself in Europe. I just wonder if I can buy one from China and replace the Chinese version system with EU version.
Yes but why you want to do that? Chinese ROM has native call recording feature out of the box! European ROM don't have that feature.
Yes, you can order the phone from China, I purchased it on Giztop (12/256 GB 80W model, RMX3560).
The global ROM is available for RMX3560 only: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-flash-india-version-rom-on-rmx3560-80w.4468789/
It's the same as the European version.
Then you can root the phone using Magisk. There is a call recorder module for it, if you need it.
So, if you want GT Neo 3 with the global ROM, and you want to root it, you should order the RMX3560 80W model. The EU version cannot be rooted.
By the way, I don't recommend this phone, it is designed for the Chinese market, and has no community supporting it outside China.
The main reason I don't recommend this phone is the MediaTek SoC, as it means that there will not be custom ROMs developed for it (+ due to the lack of community support).
Half a year has passed since this phone has been released, I recommend to choose another phone, which has an active community on XDA, and custom ROMs, kernels, and recoveries are available for it.
