Global (Mi) vs Global (EEA)

The page I am looking at seems to apply to both Pro and non-pro...see attached.

Not seen this page. Wonder how I missed it....

OK here's a theory: looking at the mi download desktop site, there are several versions called Mi 10 ROMs, all are QJB. The one called Mi 10 global is QJBMIXM. There is also one called Mi 10 Pro specifically which is QJAEUXM (the EEA version).

So my theory is A is Pro, B is non-pro.

So I think all is fine. Ours is QJAMIXM because it is the global Pro ROM. They just haven't put it on their site yet.

I agree.

Also, I have now had an email reply from Xiaomi HK customer service. They told me to be patient and that the updates are sent in batches lol.

So you've put MIUI 12 on. Cool.. Not something I'm prepared to do but I like the changes in MIUI 12.

So as I had originally said, my Mi 10 Pro Global from Wondamobile wasn't flashed with any custom rom. It definitely has an official firmware because I just got an OTA which I have now installed. 445mb in size, updated to May security and now on 11.0.4.0 Global stable, QJAMIXM.

Unfortunately, the global/EEA version of the phone was more expensive than the China version and doesn't have the bands required by T-mobile in the USA. So the answer for me was to purchase the China version and flash it with a Xiaomi.eu rom to obtain Google services. This phone was only $750 USD at that time and now sells for even less, around $725.

Xiaomi.eu is based on CN stock ROM. It has the same bands, plus Google services.

On eu I couldn't get 5g to connect but on ch rom I can it shows 5g on euvit only shows lte

I don't think that anyone can get 5G with this phone yet. N41 is a Sprint 5G band and Sprint is a CDMA network and this phone is GSM. Of course, when TMobile brings N41 over at that point it will become accessible.
