Hi, How can I tell if a Mi8 advertised as Global is genuine Global? Any trustworthy sellers to recommend?

Yep can confirm the box must contain a red (Global Version marking)
i noticed my box is in chinese. but i had a global rom. so this is not a genuine global device ?
what is the downside of this ?

You most likey have a genuine device, but it's a Chinese handset with the global rom on it.
Only downside is you will NOT be able to relock the bootloader. It must stay unlocked. This might mean your Google pay won't work. Some apps will also not install cause of this (but you work around this by installing apk direct instead of through Google store). For most people, you won't even notice. You can still update through OTA without issues and will continue to get updates.
I bought mine in Hong Kong from an established high street retail chain, being sold to locals for use in HK (which is an international market, and so would use Google). English language box, no red stickers, Global rom. And Google pay works fine, so I assume it is a Global model. There is a model number on the box: M1803E1A but they seem to use that for both global and China versions. As far as I can tell it’s not possible to see from the box alone whether the version you have is Global or a Chinese version flashed with a Global rom. I think you’re very reliant on the retailer having sourced it properly and not grey importing it from China.
Chaina version always runs Global Rom with ulocked bootloader. if you run Global Rom on your Mi8, and your bootloader is locked, then you probably have a real Global version of Mi8.
i have a chinese handset with global rom and unlocket bootloader.just came a miui 10 update can i do it without any problems??
Hello everyone , I Have Galaxy Note 8 N950U Model (USA version Unlocked) , I bought this phone in United states and I live in Israel. I want to know what will happen if i will install my country rom (N950F) in my phone? I have the Single sim model...
I want to flash to the European version because the Android 9 Update are not arrived and the my language (hebrew) is not perfect in this rom (N950U)
Thanks!

The US model is Snapdragon, but the N950F is Exynos. You cannot flash firmware from one onto the other, sorry.
Hello, there are also Hong Kong variants purchased over the internet.
I am looking to see if I can change the CSC mainly to other European countries but I am not sure if it is possible.I want to change to INU INS KOO ...
No, you can't.
It's only possible to change CSC from TGY to CHC (Open China).

Is there anything else besides China?
Hi
I'm from Poland. Planning my budget to get S10 as a my secondary phone. Here's my question.
Is it possible to install G973F firmware on Snapdragon version?
I know there is a problem with many translations to polish within USA firmware.
Hello XXVIICO, answer no as the chip to install is American is that not Europe impossible. See with the seller to reimburse you is take a device for Europe example AUT - DBT .... search on the net for the frequency of the region
