I bought a Chinese redmi note 12 pro plus and downloaded Indian firmware on it, but nfc does not work, who can suggest a magisk module that allows you to enable nfc. I will be grateful
Wait till the 23rd of the month (or about then) when the global rom will be out, that should enable NFC natively

Thanks, but I still want to know if there is such a module that allows you to enable NFC
I've got Chinese version of Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus and I am able to use NFC with no issues in UK, just change the wallet to HCE wallet in your NFC settings (once you enable NFC). Unless India's firmware is limiting it. I kept the original chinese version and will not update to global once released, I see no reason for it.

I don't think any modules will work without rooting the device and I haven't seen a way to do this yet. Due to it's SOC there will be less support for this handset as a generality, unless people support one of it's variants due to be released

So, does the Xiaomi Mi8 from GearBest have NFC? Because I was this close to buying a Mi8 but then I've noticed that in the product page the specs didn't show NFC but there are other listings who show NFC in the specs!I need NFC in my daily life. Bus and train pass, college dorm acess and etc.
Mi8 GearBest this the one that I was going to get.
Mi8 GearBest this one in the Q&A page says it has NFC but it doesn't on the spec sheet
Mi8 GearBest this one has NFC in the specs sheet
The other listings don't even mention NFC
I don't get it.. Should I just get the version I want and it will come with NFC regardless or some versions have it and others don't? I'm really confused by this
Also, I'm in Portugal. Is there any difference in getting the Global, International or even the Chinese/English version of the phone (power brick, ROM, phone model)?
Thanks

no, you'll get google pay only when using a costum rom like xiaomi.eu that explicitly supports google pay.
I can confirm xiaomi.eu's google pay work perfect.

Sorry mate, but google pay does indeed work on the stable global rom. My bootloader is locked tho.
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?

Hello All
I will be having two devices of K20 Pro in about one month from now
One from India and the second from China
I will have mine for myself and the other for a friend of mine
Now which should should i take , the chinese or the Indian variant
I know that both donot support B20 but i am in North Africa and we donot have it and i donot go to europe
( If it happened i will force connex to 3g during roaming instead of LTE not a big deal )
Anyway i will unlock the bootloader as i am used on AOSP custom roms in my current lovely pocophone
So in case of chniese i will unlock bootloader and root and either use Indian ROM or EU MIUI Rom till the custom roms are mature enough
In case of Indian I will only root till later for the custom Roms
The only difference i am aware about is that chinese have NFC while indian donot , IS THERE ANY OTHER DIFFERENCE ANYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT ?
I made my reading and knew that NFC is not yet supported on MIUI Indian ROM while it is supported on the EU
Chinese MIUI is a no go even after adding google services and support as most people advised it is very skinned and heavy UI
Still donot know about custom roms NFC support yet
I never used NFC till now, What do you guys use it for exactly as it will make my choice more focused ??
For small files i transfer via Bluetooth, For large files i transfer via Google Files App ( same concept as share.it or making a hotspot and the other party joins and recieve )

NFC is used for wireless payments
Differences:
1.China model has a Samsung manufactured amoled panel, whereas Indian unit has an amoled panel manufactured by some other company
2.NFC Chip
Verdict: Chinese model is slightly ahead on hardware

It's not cheating, is called clever advertisement. They never mentioned anywhere that they'll be using Samsung Amoled Sreen
IMO it's a good panel regardless.

It's not patented by Samsung, it is trying to go for "Dynamic Amoled" patent but super amoled can be used by any company.

With names you apply for a trademark not a patent. In America, Samsung own the trademark 'Super AMOLED'. I'm not sure where else in the world they have successfully got 'Super AMOLED' trademarked. It's possible that other companies can use the name 'Super AMOLED' in other countries.
When can I buy it in the UK?
i have a Mi 9T Pro (Global ROM), it doesn't support call recording (Stock Google Dialer) nor showing call waiting.
I'm thinking of flashing Indian ROM as it support these missing features. my question is: what are the differences between the two ROMs??
what will i miss from the global ROM if i switched and what i will get more from the Indian ROM?
Plus: are google apps included in Indian ROM
At last: will i receive software updates (MIUI/android/security patches) after unlocking bootloader to flash the Indian ROM?

You'll lose NFC functionality. You'll gain Android 10 and probably earlier access to MIUI 11. You'll get an app drawer (which will also be added to MIUI 11 by default, I believe). Otherwise, there's not a great deal of difference. You'll still have the Play Store as standard. People have claimed their phone runs smoother with the Indian ROM, but I'll take that info with a pinch of salt. I think it's just wishful thinking.
OTA for the Indian ROM should work as normal.

Unlocking bootloader will not affect OTA. You will still get OTA updates on the Indian ROM, as normal. You should still get support as Xiaomi officially allow bootloader unlocking. If you do need to send/take it to a service centre, just flash the phone back to it's original region stock ROM.
I couldn't say for definite what Arabic language support there is, though I would except there to be some.
Guys i have a redmi k20 pro Indian model which i got during alpha sale in India and now i have unlocked bootloader and flashed hovoc os running on it but my question is, when I checked for NFC in app i get this message saying NFC is present but not activated on my device.
I searched on forms and people say that some units might have been shipped from China to meet the demands so if my unit is also from China maybe i have NFC and i want to know how to activate that.
So my question is how to activate this NFC if it's present?
Image attached below for reference.
Any info on this will be much appreciated. Thanks
Indian units don't have the NFC coil. Just ignore that false positive.

It has never been shown for definite that Chinese models were sold in India. In the first few days after launching, a small number of people claimed they had working NFC after flashing the Chinese ROM, which led to the speculation that maybe some Chinese units were moved to India to cover demand. However it has never been verified that anyone did actually have working NFC on the earliest Indian models.

I did flash China miui 10.3.6 or 10.3.16 which i don't remember correctly but it showed the NFC but when i activate it doesn't activate and deactivates and closes the settings also same happened with EU miui so i guess it didn't work out. I flashed both rom via miflashtool

Yes i agree with you on that
Interested in UK users experiences with getting network features working fully.
Does WiFi calling, volte , visual voicemail, 4G+ and 5G, GPay et al work for you?
What ROM? What carrier?
Did you have to disable carrier checks? Or did it work out the box?
Also non region specific stuff too I guess , android auto experience etc etc.
I'm on a contract with EE.
VOLTE, WiFi calling, 4G+, 5G and Google Pay all working without any issues straight out the box. I don't use Android auto so I can't comment on that I'm afraid. CN ROM currently on MIUI 12.5 stable.
Great stuff. Thanks for the reply.
Where did you buy from ?

I bought mine from TradingShenzhen here: https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/mi-1...omi-mi-11-ultra-12gb256gb-ultimate-of-android
I didn't have to pay any import tax or custom fees. You can also buy from Wondamobile which they say won't incur any import charges either: https://www.wondamobile.com/xiaomi-mi-11-ultra-5g-12gb-ram-256gb-dual-sim-unlocked.html
Yeah, I have used Wonda a few times. Going to go with TS this time to see how it goes.
Hopefully sell my old Note 20U soon.

I'm now in 12.5.2 EU rom, and on Vodafone UK.
Still no 4G+/CA. 5G does work but nPerf states it's 4G. VoLTE, VoWiFi, GPay all fine.
Be interested to know if anyone gets CA working on Vodafone UK with the Global or EEA rom. May have to wait to see what version is released in the UK.
Yip. I have ordered today from TS.
I have a EE work SIM, but use Sky personality. Will be interesting if all works with them as they are quite restrictive on device support.
I don't get 4G+ CA anywhere locally anyway, but bizarrely get 5G at the end of my harbour pier .
Will have to see if it's worth flashing global ROM next month after the UK release. Everything points to the CN being more than usable after tweaking though.
I was on Chinese stock, now global. Sky and EE work fine on both, I use them too.
Global obviously does have full Google services, not the mini pack that was on the Chinese but for some reason they use Google's phone, contacts and text app, so no native call recording. Global is still on original firmware where before flashing I had 12.5 which was a delight, hopefully 12.5 will hit the Global soon.
I will go Xiaomi EU ROM if and when a twrp is released or the fastboot bricking issue has been well resolved. I used EU version on my 10 ultra and it is a dam good ROM.
Brilliant.

Does volte and WiFi calling work on SKY on CN ? ( Whilst I wait on bl unlock for Global )

I did tested download speeds on chinese version of Mi 11 Ultra and guess what ? I am getting only 3.66 mb/s on GG network that runs on O2 architecture if im not mistaking .
Before i bought the phone i verified all the network bands and it should be compatible with all Uk carriers on 4 and 5G .
May it be some setting or something ? I tried 2 different speed test services .
