Hi everybody,

i want to buy a Xiaomi Mi 9 SE, but i definitely want to buy a device that supports band 20 / 800 MHz.

So i contacted different vendors and asked them, if their device is a global version or not. Not every vendor can answer this question.

What i would like to know is:

1.) The difference between the china version, EU version, global version and so on: What does this difference "consist" of? Is it different hardware? To me it sounds like that. Or ist just software?

2.) How can i verify, if a device which is sold to me with the promise of being a global version really is a global version?

There seem to be apps, which can tell you: https://miui-germany.de/forum/index...tatsächlich-eine-global-version-band-20-habe/
Others say, that these app only work with mediatek-based devices.
 
In settings, my device, all specs:
There is a G at the end of Model number. In my case of Mi9:

Yes have to check they really promote a GLOBAL version. Must be written on the box!
Serious sellers don't trick.
Require them to send it sealed box. (that's the best way to not get any tripped rom)
So little risk at all.

Sorry, answer your first question too:
It is only a hardware difference. A global rom on a chinese smartphone don't activates LTE band 20.
