What are my options if I'm in the US for charging? - Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers

I plan on purchasing this device through Giztop and it says the Global version comes with an EU charger. What are my options here? An adapter? A different charger that is sold for the Chinese version to be compatible with US outlets?
Does anyone here use this device in the US on AT&T?

I have the Chinese variant on AT&T US. The Global version is missing band 17. The China version also has the 27W fast charger adapter that is compatible in the US.

Thanks, just ordered a Chinese variant

I bought my Global version through Gearbest.
When they ship to the US they supply a plug converter.
Charging is not an issue.
Really enjoying my Mi9

The chargers are rated for 110 to 240 volts, so it is compatible with US standards, you'd just need an adapter for the brick.

I went with the Chinese version for the charger and the global version was missing a band used on AT&T. I plan on flashing the EU rom

I have the chinese version phone and the charger it came with plugs right into a US wall outlet and works fine.

Yep Chinese version here in Canada with American plug. No adapters. Make sure to pick up the wireless charging pad with it, it's awesome!

New S owner, Advice on Wall charger and Model no

Hi folks
New Mate S owner here, Im in UK and I have 32GB model CRR-L09, am I right in thinking Ive been sold the UK/ EU International version?
Also, it came with a Euro / 2 pin wall charger.. but it reads its a 5v / 2A charger... so, am I safe to use a Samsung 5V / 2A fast charger.. or should i buy a genuine one?
Thanks
After a few hours of hunting and the OTA not working... I finally found that I had one of the C432D001 devices on b106, which is from W.EU - Germany...
Thankfully with the latest b361 (EMUI 401 / 6.0)... Huawei have removed the custc branding.. and now it appears that all EU C432 stock roms can work on any EU device, and thankfully after installing B321, I now get OTAs, which updated to the latest b361 / EMUI 401... and it detected I was in the UK and picked up me O2 UK sim no problema
Im sharing this because this is my first Huawei device and people need to be aware of this "custc...D00x" branding and if its the wrong Rom... itll brick your device., but thanks to XDA threads I found what I needed., so it pays to read around. Cheers all
Anyway, heart attack over, ill jut get a Euro 2 pin to UK 3 pin adapter tomorrow
Anyway... SPRTED!

Will the CC9 gets a global market version?

Hi folks,
I'm interested in buying this phone. It looks like a good option.
However, I'm not quite sure that there is a global version. Anyone got this phone already outside of China and can approve that the AliExpress 'global' version actually works?
Thanks,

No, there is no global version (with band 20) and it is very unlike that it will ever be. If you can live without band 20 you can buy the chinese version and flash Xiaomi.eu.
yesterday some aliexpress sellers have began to offer mi 9 lite, it's rumoured it will be cc9 global version
there's an antutu score for mi a3 pro matching the cc9
i hope they'll release it with android one
It's really a shame. It has NFC, and is a verified device for Google services, but it still can't run Google Pay with latest Google Services.
Nicky, you own it?

That's weird... have you actually seen a 512gb Tencent logo version in person, like in a store or something? Or just online sales? If just online, they could just be using the same picture for both...
its just in grey market they bought it from china.

I wonder too whats the different, I pre-ordered 12GB-RAM/512GB Tencent Version from local store (in Malaysia). Saw in Youtube/Facebook someone unboxing 12/512 tencent version, box is hexagon shape with active cooler 2 & 30 watt charger right out of the box. I guess maybe the ROM is in china version

From what I've seen, all the 8gb/128gb versions share the same bands, and all the 12gb/512gb versions share the same bands, regardless of ROM... but then again there is a ton of conflicting info out there, and I wasn't even aware there was a 512gb Tencent model, so I really can't say for sure.

Folks, i have now both versions at home from Tencent... the 8GB/128GB and 12GB/512GB... just happened so that first I ordered the 8GB version and then I noticed that LTE band 20 is missing... what was important for me. The shp told me that the 12 GB version has the LTE band 20. So I ordered the 12 GB and need to return the 8GB. But as I have them now both side by side, maybe I can answer some questions here until I will send back the 8 GB version.
The 12 GB had the Aero Cooler and 30W charger with 2 cables (USB type A to C, and USB Type C to C). The 8 GB did not come with this accessories. The cover from 8GB versin was a transparent plastic cover, the 12 GB version comes with this skeleton look case.. (forgot that name).

Ok thanks. It was worth a try. It works on Samsung phones but not all phones. There is usually a code though that opens hidden menus like that on all phones, they're just not always the same code.

Apparently, they are selling the 128 GB version on INDIA too. And it isn't the Tencent VErsion. It is the global version one, with the aero case, but with the 18W charger and no cooler.
Here's the proof.

If it actually comes with WW firmware natively, I'm planning on buying that one.

The Indian model is listed as having VoLTE and the only retailer I can find that has it listed is Flipkart. They list the model number as
ZS660KL-1A017IN
I'm guessing India is getting their own special version. IIRC Indian law requires a certain percentage of the phone to be manufactured in India.

I checked Kimovil yesterday regarding tencent version's supported bands for India, and it has all the necessary ones. Which leads me to believe that the phone will be very similar to the tencent version, with some better stuff like aero case and global firmware, but not that far off. For those without a ROG 2 yet it seems worth it to get it form there, but without expecting any additional bands IMO.

I said that the tencent version already has all LTE Bands for India, so the "India version", however different it may be with the aero case, global firmware, etc., most likely won't have a change of LTE Bands. At least that's what I think.

Headphones included in the box?

Do you know if the S20 FE 5G will have usb-c headphones included in the box?
:good:
According to the listing on Amazon for the US model it does - whether you can rely on this or not remains to be seen: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Fact...lja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1
UK version does.
The T-Mobile version does NOT have them included.
That's a big nope for the unlocked US version. Perhaps the same website for the Note 20 / Ultra will work?
I tried it but it told me I could only make one request per phone number. Which is a bummer as I have a Note 20 and an S20 FE now.

Don't EU phones require headphones in box?

Side-question for this thread, assuming you get the one without any headphones, does it at least include the USB-C <=> 3.5mm audio adapter?
