The seller listed my Zenfone 8 as the Global variant but the FM radio app is disabled (in /system/app but not visible in the launcher).
How can I tell whether my device is the Global or EU variant?
Perhaps I have a global device but the FM radio is disabled because I'm using it with a UK SIM card?
Answering my own question: Box label says "C.P/N: ZS590KS-2A009EU" so looks like I have the EU version.

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??

As title says ,
i have Mi11 China version and it supports CDMA on GSMARENA.com , and i want to flash other roms Global or EU still not sure ,
but flashing others roms will effect my phone on SIM side ? i really need CDMA band for my home country . and on GSMARENA.com only China Version have it .
Could anyone please elaborate .
China version has diffrend bands that eu version (for example no 5G on PlusGSM in Poland on china version).
It isnt rom dependent, it depend on phone version - not the same is china and global
Hello. I have bought Mi 11 because Chinese seller said it supports B19 of Japan.
But I found that it is not listen B19.
Is there any way to unlock B19?
I can fount that CN rom listen LTE B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28/38/40/41 in default settings.
Best regards.
That sounds strange, according to the specifications page, the Chinese version of Mi 11, in comparison to the international version, has additional support for B18/B19/B26 (for Japan) and B34/B39 (for China), but your Mi 11 does not support these bands when using CN ROM, I suspect that your Mi 11 may be the international version.

I have roll back my phone to global ROM but still there is no support for B19 on band selection.
Is there any way to check supported bands?
As the title state, I'm wondering which variant is TKFEUXM 14.0.2.0; someone say Global, other says EEA (European); from which I found on Google, seems that "EU" in the name suggests EEA.
T - Android Version
KF - Device Code
EU - Region Code
XM - Sim Lock (carrier)
->
Tiramisu
Redmi Note 10 Pro
EU variant
Unlocked
It is confusing to me.
I purchased the phone (sweet) in the UK from mi/com/uk that had MIUI Global 12.5.8
12.5.8.0(RKFEUXM) but the ADB and Device Info HW app were reporting sweet_eea
adb devices -l
List of devices attached
[...] device usb:3-3 product:sweet_eea model:M2101K6G

The first update it received was 13.0.17.SKFEUXM so EU again.
Recently I installed Lineage 20 custom ROM that was calling to flash firmware V14.0.1.0.TKFMIXM which is the Global version.
All was good until I discovered that this newly installed system shows V14.0.2.0.TKFEUXM
Does the V14.0.1 Global firmware include V14.0.2 EU firmware?
Are there any differences between EU and Global firmware?
Can those be flashed like for like?
Is my device a global or EEA device?
It is all not clear. Phone purchased in the UK, with global software and EU firmware?
What is going on here?
Any clarification and advice appreciated.
