you can find it in Taiwan...it must have google.
The china mainland version do not have google preinstalled, it is because the argument between china government and google. but taiwan is not affected.
For the bands supportted, please refer the webpage below

Sorry I just got confirmed from a Taiwan forumer, this phone is not a Taiwan version, it is a M8Sw from China mainland, with a 3rd party rom, the beats and other stuff are added by the seller.

I got it with etotalk modrom and it came with gapps preinstalled.
I own also HTC one e8 from China with a poor Rom installed, without system update Funktion. Need help to search another Rom, a stockrom with update possibilitys. Thanks
Hello guys!
I am new to android world.I just bought this E8 from China and its the China Unicom version of E8 known as M8SW.There are many chinese apps on the phone and also it doesnt let me take cloud backup of the device as it asks for some chinese weibo account to sign in or create new account.The same phone has been launched in India and some other countries with the model code M8SD.
Sorry for my lack of knowledge,I am just curious can i flash indian or any other country rom like singapore on it which supports english as main default language.I dont wanna install custom rom on my phone and somehow wanna stay with stock rom but from some other country.
Also if i flash some other country rom on it would it be a problem with frquencies my current rom supports and frequencies what indian rom supports.i mean i dont want any hardware issue after i flash indian rom on to my e8.
After i flash indian rom would the ota updates happen or no.
Finally where I can get Indian stock rom for e8.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all.
Just about to buy this handset but prefer to have the 6GB/128GB model.
Therefore I would have to buy it from China. I heard Huawei have allowed gapps again so what is the difference between the Chinese version and international?
Will every app work OK on the Chinese version?
Which should I get?
Thanks for your help.
Of course all apps run well ,you can search "GMS" in huawei app store and you can get Google framework support without root your device.

Thanks guys.
Just ordered from Liaow - looking forward to receiving it!

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.
What's the difference between global AC01AA and
Europe AC01AB? Are global radio bands better? Thx in advance
I cross flashed many times, also dirty from EU to Global and vice versa and i can say, there are no differences noticeable (especially Bands). Network seems just fine on Global or on EU. In the past you got another audio equalizer or more bloatware, but in this case nothing than Dirac which is the same on both builds.
I think with the Indian Variant you will get more pre-installed apps like Amazon etc.. (didn't try that)
I don't know why they seperated Global and EU variants in the first case, so a more detailed explanation is welcome over here too.
Edit: but to be on the safe side, i would suggest you to flash the ROM which you're firmware came with.
My 2 cents..
Can I switch from Indian to Global ?
Sure, i don't see problems. But your pre-installed apps might still be there. Or you must do a complete factory reset after cross flashing to Global or to EU to get rid of some pre-installed apps which came with you're ROM in the first place.
Is it possible to go from 10.5.6 (Indian) to 10.5.5 (global) via local upgrade ? Thanks
Nope, only dirty from the same OTA Version. So only from 10.5.6 Indian to 10.5.6 to global.
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.
