Hello everyone, checking the versions of Redmi / Hongmi 3 I realized that there are different versions.
The versions are:
Redmi / Hongmi 3 (2015810)
Redmi / Hongmi 3 (2015811)
Redmi / Hongmi 3 (2015815)
Redmi / Hongmi 3 (2015816)
Redmi / Hongmi 3 (2015817)
Redmi / Hongmi 3 (2015818)
Redmi / Hongmi 3 (2015819)
What are the differences? And above all, what are global or Chinese versions?
Thanks
Nobody can help me?
help you how ?
except the normal / pro version you don't choose which version to buy
what do you mean what are global or chinese versions ?
we have only global and chinese roms , not global / chinese hardware
(global = more languages , probably google services installed , and removed some unnecessary chinese apps)

Hello, thank you for the answer
Sure, there are Global version and versions China but what I can not understand is:
Which of these versions:
Redmi / Hongmi 3 2015810, 2015811, 2015815, 2015816, 2015817, 2015818, 2015819
is Global? What is sold in India? What is the Chinese?
I can not distinguish these versions because even have different bands...
Can you help me?

first of all where did you see the version number ?
for example mine is 2015810 (i see this number in the box) and i bought it from vickmall.com
i dont know if there are differences or is just a code (for example let's say 810 is the first batch from factory , 811 the second etc)

Aahhh ok... then 810-811-815-816 etc... is not the country of origin?
because I see that each version is characterized by a different band network
Example:
2015816 > GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, TD-HSDPA, LTE
2015818 > CDMA2000 EV-DO Rev A, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, LTE (this should be the Indian version)
and so on...
So I was wondering versions corresponds to which country

Here it is: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=9886&id2=9602&id3=9743&id4=9528
As you can see the models have different bands, so my question is to understand a nation that corresponds one model over the other
Thank you
Just choose a seller with good reputation and you will be OK.

i don't know this page , and we don't know if all the specs (about the network bands) are really accurate
(for example i have 2015810 and it's not on the list)
(they sell officially to few places china , india , singapore maybe ...)
so i guess the best answer is that "ask the seller" or ask to http://en.miui.com/forum.php to see if you get an answer
Really?! .... Where, name one please.....

Right ..... Its a crap shoot, junk yard dog and pi$$ in the wind when it comes to online resellers and their knowledge of what they are selling you.
They are really fast to take your money and prommise you the moon, but need the kick in the pants from PayPal to get any action on a RTM refund .....

Hi all,
I'm considering getting a Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon version/Pro). I'm a little confused about the bands that it supports. When I check wellmyphonework.net it says that the Global model will work on LTE Band 4, but the China/Unicom one will not. Looking in the forums I see Global and China Roms, but nothing definitive about separate physical models.
Is the hardware all the same(ignoring RAM/Storage variations)? Do the supported bands depend solely on which ROM is installed? If there are distinct hardware versions is there any way to tell which one I would get from ebay or AliExpress?
Thanks in advance.

The lte band support is hardware dependant, software doesn't matter.
I've bought mine with China global and lte is working fine in Europe.

That's simply not true. The SD650 supports Band 4 which is what he's asking about. Europe doesn't use Band 4 and all the versions support European lte bands. On another thread here a user with AT&T was getting lte on the vendor rom and changed to the Global rom and now only gets H+. I too would like to know which version of the phone I have.
Morning all,
Im looking at a SD 650 version of the Note3 but living in Australia would like the phone to have access to 700, 900, 1800 and 2100 MHz frequencies.
There is a lot of conflicting information regarding this phone and the versions that support different networks.
Searching here doesnt seem to provide me with an answer...
From what i read the 700MHz is the key (band 28?).
Can anyone confirm if they have a rom working for these frequencies? Happy to get either the Chinese or International version of the phone (the mysterious Taiwan versions that do appear seem to be the SD 616 version).
Thanks XDA hope someone can help with the answer,
A lot of people are waiting for the unlock of band 20 and 28 but so far it hasn't been done properly. (banmeifyouwant said he unlocked band20 but had reception problems)
I would recommend you to buy the special edition if you really need band 28 because right now I guess nobody can guarantee you that the bands can be unlocked by software only.
Thanks Man, not the news i wanted to hear. the special international editions dont seem to be that common on sale sites.
most of the international versions seem to be the SD 616 version.

are you sure that you're not looking at redmi 4g? The note 3 pro special edition has the 650 for sure! You can check here in the anouncement post on miui:

There is no SD 616 version of the Redmi Note 3. Isn't that in som Redmi non-note version?
Here is a version with band 28 for sale but it's only 2GB/16GB gold model for now: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Inte...4256c6095288e34-1469710136055-04171-AqrBIUF6I
Wow how did i miss that the 616 was the non-note... too many phones with similar names.
Thanks for the link, now if only it wasnt gold...

Hi. I have a galaxy s8+ which I am thinking of selling to get this phone - mainly because of treble support and the s8+ is too big! I was going to get the 6gb/128gb version which is great value on ali express. I know the Chinese version doesn't have band 20 but that doesn't matter on EE in the UK.
However I wanted to check whether there are other issues with not getting the European version of the honor 9? Does the Chinese version support the new aosp treble based Rom the devs have built? The thread seems vague on this issue. Other there any other issues with the Chinese version?
Appreciate your help.
As far as i'm aware, you can actually re brand the Chinese variant to EU.
Not sure if the version of android on it has Google Play services, or an English language selection, but language packs can be downloaded.
BUT! you will get the OS updates before us lot with EU versions.... who are still stuck on B182, China have got B360 which is oreo.
Either way, its a good buy, destroys the s8 in benchmarks, and just the right size to not be too small or too big in the hand.
There 3 differents STF Chinese honor 9:
AL00
AL10
TL10
I've got an AL00 rebranded to L09 and it's working great, like an European model but without LTE BANDS 7(2600) & 20(800).
Thanks for the responses. I thought the Chinese variants of the honor 9 were the same as Xiaomi - only missing band 20? I'm on EE which doesn't need band 20 but I believe does need 2600mhz (band 7). Any ideas? Thanks
https://m.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8704&idPhone2=8704#europe,al00
You could change phone version on this link, I think LTE BANDS are corrects but there is errors on size and colors.
Thanks. EE state that most of their 4g coverage is with band 3 so should be Ok! Thanks for the responses guys.
I wouldn't expect huawei to use a different LTE chip in each phone, that would require 2 different versions of the kirin 960, which wouldn't be in the interests of the development cost of the phone.
I'd assume its an OS limitation, since AL10/100 firmwares will run on L09 models after rebranding, and vice-versa.

I'd like it to be true.
Do baseband is inside Kirin 960 cpu chip or in another chip?
The way I see it they ship differents variations with differents nand & ram sizes, so maybe they could switch others things without adding tremendous producing cost.
Or they are the same but phoned still keep their original LTE bands over the publicly available rebranding guides.
Thinking about buying this phone. Can you guys tell me the common issues with this phone? The one I'm most concerned with is the headphone jack, does it produce hiss sound at low volume? I ask this since I came across a lot of phones with that issue. Thanks in advance

I personally don't experience hissing on this phone. As far as issues, it involves the OTA from Vendor Roms which bricked some devices. You can check your ROM version and cross reference it with the ones on the Mi website to make sure. Aside from that, I don't see anything wrong with the phone.
Hi, I'm also considering to buy Note 5 and I just wanted to say that I don't have that problem with Note 4, it doesn't mean much since I don't use N5 but I think there is very very little chance for hissing issue in any device produced in 2017.

Hi, when I purchased seller offer also a global variant for 40 usd more.
Many people confuse about global device version and global firmware that it´s not the same.
You just have to pay special attention to the bands that is enabled, the global version has more bands enabled, by i.e my version that is a non global doesn´t have LTE bands 2 (1900) nor 4 (1700/2100) it mean that in my country it can´t work on 4G (of course I bought it so it is cause I didn´t need). This is the main difference.

I really don't understand because my device is working with the B4 (1700) band but it is not a real Global version. :silly:

Why do you say that has B4? Where you saw it?
Look at this info, just 4G apparted, this is a non-global version from a chinese seller you can find these specs;
4G FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600
TD LTE B38：2600 /B39：1900/ B40：2300 /B41：2500 MHz
TD or TDD is the LTE FOR China, look up FDD LTE bands.
And this is a Global version, seller usually put in a red highlighted the bands added
4G: FDD LTE B5:850 /B8:900 /B3:1800 /B1:2100 /B7:2600 /B4:1700 /B20:800;
TD LTE B38：2600 / B40：2300
Differences here are bands 4 for Latin America and guess some regions of Asia and maybe others and band 20 for Spain.

I mentioned that because my 4g shouldn't work but it appears in the notification bar.
I bought the "Official Global ROM" (I saw it is not the Global Version)
FDD LTE B3:1800/B1:2100/B7:2600/B5:850/B8:900MHz
TDD LTE B34:2100/B38:2600/B39:1900/B40:2300/B41:2500MHz
This confuses me :silly:

No, if your device hasn´t these two added bands definitely it´s not a global version (global rom concept mean nothing for this) is a hardware limitation although can work within 4G depending on your company carrier in some of the 5 frequencies enabled.
I have a Chinese RN5, it has loads of bands dudes. The chance of it not working on your network are slim.
As for the headphones dilemma, they do not hiss or produce low volume. Altho if you pair them with Xiaomi Pro HD which have a high impedance then you will notice a lack in volume. That can be easily fixed with Dolby Atmos the Magisk Module.
Hello,
I'm planning to buy a Redmi 5 Plus 4GB/64GB for a person in Amazon.es but I need the one that has LTE Band4 [this is because I'll give it to a person who lives in Argentina where they use Band4/AWS (1700 and 2100 Mhz)]
According to Xiaomi, Spanish version has Band 4: https://www.mi.com/es/redmi-5-plus/specs/
However in Amazon I could end up getting another variant, because they are all Dispatched by Amazon, but sold by different vendors across Europe.
So is there any way to check if the Phone truly has band 4 without putting a SIM? Reading the firmware model number, using some android app or something like that? I'm planning on getting one, confirm this, and if it doesn't have band4, return it the next day. (I live in Spain so I don't have Band 4 here to test).
Thanks a lot
Global version has bands 4 and 20.
The box is orange, it says Redmi instead of Chinese letters and has a sticker that says global version on the side.
On the back of the phone it's written the model number. It should be MEG7 for global version.
