Good morning guys. I need to buy a Xiaomi for my cousin from AliExpress. But tht last time I bought phone on AliExpress Customs charged me almost 13k.
I want to know if anybody has bought phone on AliExpress of recent, did you have to pay custom duty?

Custom duties is fifty-fifty.

Apologies, I dont too comprehend this.... I don't knw much abt RN5, tried to Google it though but seeing 4gb RAM for it ... I don't too get the bolded part... Pls can u use Xiaomi RN7 for illustration.... A Chinese version on Chinese ROM with 6/64gb, will it stil have 6gb Ram if European version is flashed into it?
Concerning the RAM management, I know what you mean, but with the 2gb, I usually have like 600mb used... But on 3gb ram, more than 1gb is gone. Infinix doesn't eat ram that much, that is why many infinix users are of the opinion Xiaomi RN7 has poor ram management

My answer had already taken care of that ROM is a firmware and has nothing to do with hardware.

Note the RN5 also had a 6/64Gb version exclusive to China and people bought it with a global ROM like the 6/64Gb RN7.

Also there you are confusing a heavy OS for ROM management. MIUI is heavier than HIos or Xos because it comes with a lot of more features that runs in the background. And I used a 2 GB ram Tecno Camon CX Air and when I clear up my ram I hardly had half of the 2Gb available for use.

Flashing a global ROM to a chinese version, will one stil retain the 6gb Ram (had an issue with my infinix note 3pro and went to Calrcare for a downgrade. They were hesitant at first when I explained the bugs in the os 7 update released they tried different os versions on my phone to disprove me, but I still won. They compiled all my observations and sent to their China counters which the improved on the note 4, but neglected a release to correct the bugs in note 3. Among the os tested on my phone... My phone is a pro but with 2gb Ram, as against the conventional one with 3gb RAM. But among the os tested on it, is a 3gb RAM and that is stil what is on my phone til date. But if you close all apps, 1gb RAM is eaten by some unknown forces.... You see 2gb RAM free without opening anything.) so back to the question sir... Flashing say a Global ROM or European ROM to a Chinese version, will it stil retain its 6GB?
Understandable that Chinese version is cheaper to acquire and had more RAM, what are the advantages of Chinese ROM pls?

Your phone still sees the ram installed, I use a CN Version of RN 5 with 4GB ram.

But at the bolded, you were wrong.

How?
Wether you have apps running or not the operating system must use part of your installed system memory (RAM) meaning if my phone has 4Gb of RAM installed, I can never have 4Gb ram available to me even when am not running any apps because the OS is running in the background and it uses that same RAM to keep your network, clock, sensors and other important thing running.

That is why when you clear all apps you we see something like for instance in my case 2.4Gb/2.6Gb of Ram available of 4GB.

This is the same in all electronic devices that makes use of RAM be it smartphone or PCs.

This was very predictable.

Tacha deserved to be disqualified. She did it to herself.

Mercy too deserved to be disqualified. She is a fake witch.

Las las, I am officially Team Mike now. I know Diane has no chance, giving it all for Mike.

If Mercy wins then it is save to say Biggie has rigged this thing. From smashing of oppo phone to attacking Ike with a bottle of water to threatening to run at Gedoni if she gets disqualified to attacking Tacha with electric iron, etc. This girl is just the same as Tacha.

Nigerians have chased out good people of the house living animals behind.


Team Mike am I welcome? Let's win it.

You are welcome

Frodd casting Tacha. He is overly pissed about yesterday

Samsung should beat this design.

Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha

Tiger2020:
so Mr ,you mean i can install gcam by just establishing csmera2api as my RN5 is Chinese version with global ROM

That is one step that have already been done, you still need to install custom recovery, flash magisk and enable camera2api before you can install Gcam

okikiosibodu:
I was totally confused (after I thought I was clear on it ). Had to peruse prev thread
For further clarity.... 6/64gb and 4/64gb of Xiaomi RN7, which is Chinese version
B..... Either can have chinese ROM right?

Global version have 3/32 4/64 & 4/128.
Chinese version have the above and other variants like 6/64 exclusive to them.

fibonacci2526:
lolll, interesting. If this is true, the RN8 pro will soon be long forgotten.

There is no smoke without fire. The quick global release of the RN8 Pro shows that they are not satisfied with the numbers it is pulling

Elslim:
Na that realme X2 wan give us small headache

Xiaomi don counter them and even fit make an cheaper or same price than the X2 self. They want they use Realme former concept, allow Xiaomi release, drop their own and put price it lower.

Emmmmm. You mind speaking English.... Abeg wetin be GDPR.... So far, I hav been able to decode that EU ROM are more expensive and tend to conserve your Internet bundles since it hs few ads.... More features please... Kindly elucidate on GDPR

Rumor mills, Oga Gptech GrandMufti another Redmi Note 4x situation brewing, Xiaomi don't want to take chances.

https://www.gizchina.com/2019/09/27/xiaomi-working-on-redmi-note-8t-to-come-with-sd-730g/

The Global Version of the Redmi Note 8 Pro comes with Band 28.

dahgifted:
what are the disadvantages of using phone with global rom...and also the difference between global rom and global version?

Chinese Version normally have less LTE Bands than Global Version.

And the bootloader of CN version with Global ROM comes Unlocked

Shots fired from both angles. Huawei looked for trouble.

okikiosibodu:
Now I am clear. Gracias.
Global ROM...... It has more bands supported and it receives frequent updates. Supports Google services
Chinese version: has more RAM, and cheaper
Pls can you tell me about Indian and European version?

Indian Version are build to support Indian networks. LTE bands come into play.

EU ROM - built to comply with European laws like GDPR and more. Their are hardly ads on the EU versions hence more expensive

venahoro:
Thanks chief. Please for clarity sake what's the huge difference between k20 pro and Mi 9T pro?

K20 Pro Chinese and India Mi 9T Pro Global Version has support for LTE bands including all available in Nigeria

venahoro:
I can't wait the time it will get to me. I felt buying from anyone here will be quicker. My current phone is making me run mad.

The cost of the phone won't allow anyone to have it readily available in stock. And the Mi 9T pro on Aliexpress is currently more expensive than the Redmi K20 Pro.

If Xiaomi Nigeria had brought it to Nigeria then their partner stores would have it readily available.

So the readily available alternative is the Mi 9T. Except you can pay for express shipping of at most 7 working days then you can contact Macbeyland, Noobody or Protein0

Jollof123:
What if I send playstore to it through xender and other Google apps. Will it work without any technical issue like tweaking and installing of certain files

It won't work that way.

venahoro:
Good day house. I don't know if I can get xiaomi k20 pro(global version) readily available by Saturday or Sunday from any of the in house touts here. Its a matter of urgency. I stay in abuja.

You have to order the Mi 9T pro from AliExpress or Ebay

IdeeEsperanza:
This is serious! Does this also applies to Mi CC9 meitu custom edition? And does it have a global version?

It should and CC9 Meitu edition is China exclusive.

While the Mi 9 Lite is the Global Version of the CC9

Jollof123:
Ok thanks alot...the Chinese version will b in Chinese language and no playstore right? Or will thereb playstore and access to Google as usual.

Chinese ROM comes in two languages Chinese and English but No playstore, you have to Sideload Google apps

okikiosibodu:
How did you people know? I am seeing " MIUI Global stable 10.3.6" in the MIUI version, yet you know it's European version.... Pls enlighten me
Cc: Born2.smile Grand.Mufti Genius.43

It is from the codes

PFGMIXM - Global Stable ROM
PFGINXM - Global Indian ROM
PFGRUXM - Global Russia ROM
PFGEUXM - Global EEA(EU) ROM

Notice that PFG**XM are stable only the two asterisk changes to indicate the region

Jollof123:
Can we order the redmi k20pro exclusive edition " 12G, 512G variant?
Its Chinese ROM/global ROM...what's the pros and cons of such ROM.
Or we should wait for the normal ROM applicable to Nigerians

That phone is China exclusive, so you have to make do with the Chinese ROM or Global ROM if you must use this device.

Global version is the Mi 9T Pro
