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
Hello everyone, I'm from Colombia and for phones to work here, they need to be certified by some other countries’ agency like FCC or TENAA.
I’ve found the Mi 9T Pro documents at the FCC, but apparently that model will have different TAC codes, so that means K20 Pros would not be able to be covered by the 9T Pro’s certification.
Would anyone know where I can get the K20 Pro’s TENAA documentation?
Is the K20 Pro certified in other countries other than China where I could get the documentation?

The K20 Pro is only released in China and India. It will be released as the Mi 9T Pro everywhere else. You could try getting documentation from India but you may have the same problem. The Indian models are built in India and are not exactly the same. They have missing NFC hardware and they have slightly different LTE bands enabled, so you may find that any Indian certificates also don't exactly match the Chinese model.
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.
Can I get NFC for Redmi k20 pro through software update?
And also I would like to know about its 5G support

If you have an Indian phone, then no, the NFC hardware is missing.
If your phone is from anywhere else it has the hardware. So flashing any ROM that is not Indian will give you a working NFC.
There is no 5G. It has no 5G modem.
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.
