Buying the Phone with a Chinese ROM? Flash English ROM?

[Hyflex]

Hi,

I'm looking to get one of these but the ones I can find are all Chinese versions, can I switch to the Global ROM without breaking anything / causing any issues with NFC... etc? I don't mind unlocking the device as long as it doesn't cause any problems (not worried about the warranty issue)

Any one know the answer?

If you don't have any problem unlocking the bootloader then there's no problem. Just unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM. If you want to use MIUI then flash Xiaomi.eu ROM.

If you use the official global rom, simply lock the phone afterwards again, to have a fully banking conform phone.
