Hi Guys,
I would like to know if there is any difference between the Global international version of the MI6 and a Chinese version flashed with the global rom?
Are there any performance or hardware differences?

Why the global international version so much more expensive?
Thank you for the info. I'll be better off buying the one that has the global rom flashed as its cheaper.
Its cheaper on Aliexpress as there's 7% cashrewards

With my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 it was the FCC sticker on the inside..
There may be some stuff with the global firmware that limits the DBi from the radio to meet the FCC certification.. I know with the CM12 ROM I'm running it gets pretty hot and drains the battery in low signal areas.. Maybe even outside of the FCC's "safe regions.."
The two versions are identical, only different in packaging. Global version comes with Global ROM out of the box while the Chinese version comes with a China ROM.
both variants do the same B1/B3/B5/B7/B8 network bands.
You can however flash a Global ROM on the Chinese version (in this case seller has already done it)
and vice versa so it doesn't really matter which one you get.
you would be wise to flash the ROM again yourself just to ensure you aren't getting any unwanted 'freebies' in your ROM.
