Good day Sir / Ma'am,
To those that can possible answer the question, as you all know, Mi 9T Pro and K20 Pro are technically the same except for the branding. Should the Mi 9T Pro becomes available, is there away someone can get the global rom work with the K20 pro? And what's the probability of the future Mi 9T Pro roms to work on the K20 pro (eg lineage os, rr, pixel experience etc)?
Just wait for Xiaomi EU forums to do roms for it

Hi. Do Xiaomi EU makes rom outside of MIUI components like stock based rom?
Hello. I don't know whether to buy the K20 pro or the 9T.
Do you think both these phones will receive many official AOSP roms?

Won't the Redmi k20 pro and the Redmi k20 get the same level of custom ROM support? From a developer's perspective, the only difference is the processor (SD855 VS SD730).

I am guessing processors SD855 and SD730 has different components. So I doubt that the same rom would work on both.

K20 and k20 pro totally different. More support will be on pro version i guess. 855 resources are easily available now. Pixel ROM CAF version maybe easy for devs to build

If I am not mistaking, the difficulty in developing custom ROMs does not lie in compatibility with Qualcomm processors. The sources of the Snapdragon processors of Qualcomm are published and available to the public.
As far as I can see there is no 9T pro,just rumours that it is the k20 pro but as only the k20 was announced in Europe yesterday
I don't believe there is s 9T pro at all

Hmmm. If so, will the k20 pro be available globally with a global rom? Or will only be in china that has to be imported in global market?

Thats not true. They only claimed in russia that there is a Mi 9T Pro but they did not know when it will be available (global marked).
If I purchase the one with Chinese ROM, will I be able to replace the ROM for the Global version? I'm so in love with the phone that I'm about to purchase the Chinese Version. The only thing that is preventing me to do so is the fear of not having the possibility to update the ROM later. Does anyone know if it will be possible? Thanks!
On Honor buy it says English and Chinese version with Google play pre installed,
Does that mean it is Global,I assume you could do all you need here with OTAs ,apps etc.

If K20 became the Mi 9T, is it possible that K20 pro would be rebranded as the Pocophone F2? just wondering? maybe its possible?

That's what they were saying initially,then roumers came of it being the 9T pro.
It is certainly a possibility it will be rebranded the Poco f2,
Either way,seems like we will be waiting a while for it
There has been reports in a few tech sites of a Geek Bench set of scores for an alleged Mi 9T Pro, that suggest it's a K20 Pro (it had the same motherboard name of raphael). Granted that could have been a fake, so it's certainly not real proof the Mi 9T Pro will arrive. https://www.mysmartprice.com/gear/x...geekbench-listing-confirms-rebranded-k20-pro/

Yes. But you can only change from Chinese to Global ROM once the bootloader is unlocked. You will have to wait 15 days to unlock the bootloader.
This comes with limited LTE bands, so check first that it covers the bands you'll need. Changing to the global ROM won't magically open up all global bands.

That's the part people aren't understanding. A lot of these sellers install a "global" ROM with multi-languages and Google Play Store, but they're not the actual official global version due to band restrictions. I live in the United States so pay attention to that. Here's my post from a few minutes ago about possible delays in the release of the official global version. https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-global-t3939580
Hi, is it okay to choose k20 pro over mi 9t pro because i want to get 8/256? Although I'm gonna lose 1 band out of 6 here.

The global Mi 9T Pro (not the European version) will come with 8/256 GB. See this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/9t-pro-8-256-varient-t3964710
Some sellers are already selling the global version.
As for what's best, then it depends on what you'll be doing with it. If you intend to go with custom ROMs and can live without the missing LTE bands, then which version you go for won't make any real difference, but the Chinese K20 Pro will be the cheapest option at this time.
If you plan on sticking with stock MIUI then the global Mi 9T Pro will allow you to keep the bootloader locked, which will give you Widevine L1 and any banking/finance apps working without any issues.
Hi,
I'm on the point of buying Redmi K20 Pro
However I noticed the forums here were described as "Redmi K20 and Mi 9T" - so wondered if the two phones were the same (or not) and whether the different names were just to reflect marketing and branding?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Both are the same. K20 Pro is sold as Mi 9T pro as the Global variant.
The only difference is B20 LTE Band
But it may be unlockable in the future

Mi 9t Pro has band 20. This is particularly useful in Europe where it is used extensively.
Also I believe that Mi 9t Pro has Widevine L1 certification not present on K20. Important to some people.
K20 Pro dosn't have NFC

The K20 series is also missing B28, which is significant here in Australia and possibly in other countries.
I hope it's ok to ask in this thread.
What are the differences in the firmware flashing?
I am using it a day right now and Miui is not really what I expected... So I may flash it after Miui 11 comes out.
The Roms are compatible between K20 Pro and Mi 9t Pro? Both are "Raphael"? There is no problem with frequency if I flash a "K20 Pro Rom"?
If I use another Rom, I still can use the three cameras? (My first multi cam phone)
Hi, I'm looking these days to buy a new smartphone, but I'm confused as far as xiaomi with all these mi 9.
So we have :
Mi 9: sd855 China/global
Mi 9 pro: sd855+ China
Same for mi 9 pro 5g. China.
Mi 9t: sd855 global
Mi 9t pro: sd855 global
K20: sd855 China
K20 pro: sd855 China
K20 pro premium: sd855+ China
So there is no mi 9t pro with sd855+ global. Right ?
And no mi 9 pro with sd855+ global right ?
So in a few words , in the global market there is no xiaomi with sd855+ ???
Enlighten me. I need global and I need sd855+ with that imx586 sensor or better. I simply want the best.
Mi mix alpha is out of question. I'd better buy a car at that price.

Remeber that Chinese and Global versions have different LTE bands, and in europe many operators use B20, that is not available on Chinese versions, so you'll get BAD signal reception.
Global version has LTE FDD: B20/B28. Chinese version has LTE FDD: B17; LTE TDD: B34/B41. Rest of bands are the same.
To sum up.
- Mi 9 SE: SD712 6GB RAM 18W 3070Mah GLOBAL/CHINA
- Mi9 Lite: SD710 6GB 18W 4030Mah GLOBAL/CHINA
- Mi 9t: SD730 6GB RAM 18W 4000Mah GLOBAL/CHINA
- K20: SD730 6GB RAM 18W 4000Mah CHINA
- Mi 9: SD855 6/8GB RAM 27W 3300Mah GLOBAL/CHINA
- Mi 9 EE (Explorer Edition): SD855 12GB RAM 27W 3300Mah GLOBAL/CHINA
- Mi 9t Pro: SD855 6GB RAM 27W 4000Mah GLOBAL
- K20 Pro: SD855 6GB RAM 27W 4000Mah CHINA
- K20 Pro Premium: SD855+ 8/12GB RAM 27W 4000Mah CHINA
- Mi 9 Pro/Pro 5G: SD855+ 8GB RAM, 40W 4000Mah CHINA
I highlighted in RED "negative" aspects.
To complete the list. (On 20/10/2019)
Simply, if you want an global 855+, wait for Q1 2020
Nope, Mi 9T is not available in China, it's a Redmi K20 for the rest of the world, while the K20 is India and China only.
Same for the Mi 9T Pro and Redmi K20 Pro.
So, I just bought a Mi 9T Pro a week ago. I've been saving and looking forward to this phone since it got released. The box cover, IMEI serial number for product verification on Xiaomi website and the setting 'about phone' itself confirms it is a legitimate Mi 9T Pro. However, because I linked my e-mail to Google by Find My Phone, it says otherwise, a K20 Pro instead. I was devastated and confronted the mobile store, they argued it can not be, if it were to be K20 Pro there would be no playstore, plus it even runs on Android 10.
Funny thing is, the latest update on my phone is and stays with MIUI 11.0. 3.0 similar to K20 alone. While the Mi 9T Pro latest update is V11.0.5. Does my current phone have to do with 'Asian region' compared to the actual Mi 9T Pro Global model?
There's so much wrong with this.
It is most likely a mi 9t pro, it's just Google doing Google things.
K20 pro has play services and play store is available to install on Xiaomi app store, it's just not installed by default. If your phone was a k20 pro it would be fairly obvious... Chinese language on by default...
What do you mean 'it even runs on Android 10?'
No. you have global version not eea version. Latest global is 11.0.3 and eea and China is at 11.0.5.
And what it on the back of the phone? Mi or Redmi? Btw I checked and Google Find my phone for me says it's "Mi 9T Pro"
This is weird. Like hoopsnake said, could just be google doing google things.
Global just got updated to 11.0.5, so you can wait a bit for it to reach your phone. Where did you buy if from anyway?
Mi 9t Pro and k20 pro are the same except for software. You can check if you have a mi 9t pro by looking at Netflix resolution, if it's 1080 then it's mi9
Sir, I have a k20 pro, k20 pro also has L1widevine support, it's just the case with indian variant which I have, maybe google is taking it as the india k20 pro, or you got an indian variant, it may not be the most popular opinion but indian variant is in fact the best one, you can check which rom you have, i can tell you all the details of my phone if you need to cross check anything
