Difference between global and EU rom . - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Hello!! So , basically I'm a noob yet . So , i live in EU . Apparently my phone has global rom , based on the size of the update (it was 80-something MB instead of 50-ish for the EU) . Does EU rom have noticeable advantages over global version? I'm perfectly satisfied with the performance of my device , but I'm curious.

Unreleased ROM for my region

So I have ordered my Pocophone F1 a few days ago and found that you can install google camera on it, but the most updated one needs a certain ROM version or higher to be able to use it, so I went searching on xiaomi forums and found that, that specific rom version Global Stable ROM V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI i'snt released in my country Kindly Note- This update V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI not released to SOUTH KOREA & PORTUGUESE so this is where my questions surge...
Is there any way that this update shows up OTA, like per example, if I change my region, will it make the update show on the ota update app?
If not, can I flash it and will I still get OTA updates ?
Why is the ROM not released in my region ?
And can me getting this ROM on my phone affect anything ? Like data connection, language or apps ?
Thank you!

Flash the fastboot ROM. You will probably need to perform factory reset (mine phone did not boot when I tried to switch ROMs with old data).
Btw. why do you want to go to global variant?

because my friend had a Mi A3 with EU firmware,
but he's phone surfer from noise in stock camera (in live-preview and captured, photos and videos )
- in other camera apps everything works perfectly ( But In my Mi a3 with global firmware and everything works fine )
i'm going to change stock firmware with another different firmware to test camera (maybe solve he's issues )

I don't believe that it will help to solve any issue with stock camera, but it won't hurt trying. Just download full fastboot ROM and run "flash_all.bat" script. Don't forget that it will wipe your data, so backup anything important.
Have you changed to the global version? My A3 is also the EU version. btw, is there an update difference between eu and global?

mi a3 Rom question- about EU rom and global

Mine is running on 10.3.13.0 PFQEUXM or Europe rom. Im trying to install custom recovery and root it later. I'm in the process of downloading the files like the fastboot rom just incase i have to go back to stock or if something goes wrong. I also prefers to use global rom since im not in the Europe region. My question is if its okay to flash Global version or will it brick the device?

I heard somebody accidentally flashed EU ROM on global version of the device when restoring the device using MiFlash.
While it did not brick the phone, the wifi Mac address get messed up. So I don't recommend you to try this.
It is better to flash the ROM that correspond to your device varient, just in case something goes bad.
Switching between EU/GLOBAL works fine, it doesn't brick anything. When I tried it I had to perform factory reset, otherwise the phone did not boot up. So far no one came with confirmed list of differences, it is being speculated that EU ROM has better privacy protection due to more strict EU laws and that headphones volume is limited to conform the EU laws. But again, there hasn't been provided a single proof for these claims and it seems that they are functionally the same, sharing the same features (and bugs). In the past months, Global version received OTA update few days in advance of EU, but the latest update arrived at the same time. Personally I don't have any problem with the EU ROM.
Thanks guys, i was able to install global rom and twrp + root without any problem. One thing i noticed is that EU is on v10.3.13 and global is 10.3.12,but both of them has the December security patch so no worries.

Confusion about software version! Oxygen OS (10.0.5 & 10.3.0)

hello guys,
i have got a oneplus 7t pro HD1910 Which is chinese version. here in my region merchants sell the phone already converted to global without interference from the user. the user just goes to the shop and buys the chineese version already globally unlocked out of the box. Here is the problem. my phone has the indian software out of the box and i received an OTA update 10.3.0. and i dont know why iam having 10.3.0 which is indian. i want to convert my phone to EU Version specially that iam having some bugs in the software that i think the indian frimware that my phone has is the problem. iam confused about the version numbers because the latest EU version is 10.0.5 and my indian frimware has 10.3.0 which is higher? is the downgrade possible? and if yes anyone has the OTA link for me to install?
