Mi a2 Global version - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Are there any different global versions depending on the country region that the phone is sold? For instance, is the global version that is sold by Chinese e-shops the same as the one sold by Amazon (Europe) or official mi stores located in Europe?

Everything I read indicates there is only 1 Global version. It's a bit confusing though, supposedly the same phone in China is the Mi6x, and it's slightly different. Then there's the also slightly different one for India. But I don't think there are various 'Global' versions. At least I've never seen any indication of that.

actually there are 3 versions, China, Global and India as Mi A2, and 6X for China, bands are the same for Global and India, but India support extra features as QC4 (presumible soft- disabled on non-India Mi A2).
versions with 4/32GB 4/64GB and 6/128GB
Mi A2 available in Black, Blue and Gold, 6X available also in Red, Rose Gold.
Mi 6X supports extra features (disabled in Adndroid One firmware) as FM Radio, APT-X APTX-HD and LDAC Bluetooth audio (LDAC comes to all Mi A2 on Android 9 update, confirmed by beta testers, maybe APT-X too, don't count on FM radio unless it is officially exported to the US where will be mandatory to enable it)
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - Global
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - China
LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300) - Global
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 34(2000), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500) - China as 6X

Where do you find those beta news?

I don't think the question is 'How many versions are there?' I think it's are there more than 1 version of the one labeled 'Global'. Assuming that's true, then it doesn't matter where you buy it, if it says the 'Global' version, they will be the same.
iow; I don't think they are called 'Global India' and 'Global China' and 'Global - all the rest of the world', they are India, China and Global.

I found the etching on the bottom housing is different. My CE and Litter Bin logo (Hongkong version) is only a label, not etched. I can just remove it.
We have 4 coolers including red here. At the moment, we only have 4+64G version.

Guess what, i already did that otherwise I wouldn't ask. Didn't see anything in the MiUI forum not anywhere else. But thanks for nothing.

Planning on buying a 5X but I have some questions

Hey! So, I'm planning to buy a 32GB Xiaomi Mi 5X. I want to ROM it with the A1 port and I wonder: does it change the bands of the phone? Can I change them myself? Can I install more bands?
I need to activate bands 4 (AWS or 1700) and 28 (APT or 700*). As far as I'm concerned, some bands can't be activated in that terminal but I'm not sure which ones.
Thank you in advance! You could save me lots of money!

theirs a small difference between the a1 and the 5X band wise, the a1 is more geared towards global and non china carriers. i actually was going to try cross flashing modem files to enable more bands on my 5X but then a update fixed my issue and game me 4g.

Great info. Thanks
Not sure where they get their information but according to the link below, the ALP-AL00 supports more bands.

I don't trust sites like this. It's the same like oppomart or geekbuying, phone not released and they already sell it
I haven't seen any indication of band 30 support, yet there were rumors of this phone coming to AT&T.
Maybe a version for US market
I bought a Mate 10 AL00
I rebranded my phone to L29
Will the LTE bands on my phone work like AL00 or L29?
AL00
Where can i find what are the LTE bands for AL00 Mate 10?
I did not found any official information about It.
Differents sources says differents things.

I'd also be interested in knowing the official specs.
Huawei always used to put them on their site, but with the Chinese Mate 10 model, they didn't publish it.
I don't think it's literally every LTE band like frequencycheck claims.
L21
Hello,
Question, Can a Huawei Mate 10 L21 be modified to operate with LTE Band 4?
Thanks.

How do you know? Is there a way to check the baseband configuration and supported bands on the phone itself?
I am asking because I just got ALP-AL00, rebranded by the shop to ALP-L29 and I would like to confirm that.

Could you share the link? I have found spec for ALP-L29 (https://consumer.huawei.com/en/phones/mate10/specs/), but it is different from ALP-AL00, or AL-TL00 according to frequencycheck:

M1804D2SI vs M1804D2SG

I can't find this anywhere so I am posting here. Does anyone know the difference in the LTE bands (if at all) that they support. Will a device imported from India M1804D2SI work in Canada? I checked on the frequency check website and they don't even have the Indian version listed.
this from gsmarena (they have some of the same bands, not all):
2G bands GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
CDMA 800 & TD-SCDMA - China
3G bands HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700(AWS) / 1900 / 2100 - Global
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - China
4G bands LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 20(800), 38(2600), 40(2300) - Global
LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 34(2000), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500) - China
It's odd though, using frequency check, it seems to have the China bands listed for the global one... Compared to the chart above anyway. It's pretty disconcerting not being able to be sure of something as important as this...
On second glance, it looks like freq check has ALL the bands - for both china and global, listed together under global. I'd bet the gsmarena info is accurate.
But is China version same as India version?
Thanks for the information. But since all information on web points to differences between China and Global, does that mean the Indian version is same as Global version or Chinese version? Or is it it's own thing?
Just get a Mi A2 from Europe and you are good. QC 4.0 is not woth all the hassle especially after people reported some issues with the Indian version.
Just an update on this. I have imported the Indian version and I am using that on public mobile in Canada. So far I am not noticing any difference in my internet speed on my 3G only data plan. This is based on just a few hours of testing. I will be using it more comprehensively in the next week.
However, if anyone has any suggestions for how I should confirm the radios supported on the Indian version, I would be happy to do so and contribute my results back here so that it might be useful to others.
I purchased the Mi A2 in Belgrade, Serbia and it's the M1804D2SG Android One (Mi A2 Black 4GB RAM 64GB); which is also identified as "Xiaomi Wayne" ROM, right?!
The box says, which is of little help:
Dual SIM, Dual Standby | FDD-LTE/TDD-LTE | WCDMA | GSM

EDIT: Ugh, what I'd meant to say is: if there's a simple way to run diagnostics on what it can support... Please let me know what to do, so I could post it.

So looking at the differences, Band 12 looks to be missing from the 9T/K20 lineups.... Has anyone had any experiences with the 9T on TMobile. Missing Band 12 a huge issue? Really thinking of getting a Mi 9T Pro as they become more available. Not understanding why Xiaomi eliminated Band 12 from its 9T lineup... maybe I'll just wait for the OnePlus 7T Pro...
I know this is a year old, but i do use my Mi9tpro on T-mobile in St. Louis Missouri and it seems to work perfectly fine!
it only uses bands 4 and 2 for lte and will sporadically drop a couple bars in random spots of the city but i still am always connected to LTE. my speeds very depending one where i am and what band im on but it ranges from 8mbps - ~40+ mbps in some areas.
I've read that we have pretty similar hardware to the oneplus 7 pro (tmobile version) and was wondering if there is a way to make our phones turn on the tmobile network bands :/ just a lot of reading ahead of me!

is the x2 pro easy to get rooted and custom rom-ed and bootloader unlocked?
