You should check the box before opening it. If the code end with I it's the Indian version which you should say no to and if it ends with G then it's the deal you want. Look for my other message. Let's hope that GSMArena isn't taking it down..

      For any hater of this phone..
      You must realize this phone has high selling in Q1 2020 and its antutu score is higher than A51 (another best selling one)

        This phone has been a true warrior. I have used as my daily device since November. It's perhaps the longest I've ever had a phone (since the advent of the glass touchscreen) and kept from smashing it and having to replace the screen. It is very durable and has near excellent performance in resource taxing games like Fortnite and PUBG. Since updating to Android 10 I now also have the ability to stream Netflix in HD, YouTube was never a problem displaying 1080p 60fps video without a hitch. The battery life is phenomenal and the camera is better than any iPhone had before (latest I had was a 7+ and I understand the newer models edceed the specs on some markers). The 64MP mode allows mind boggling digital zoom quality when editing later. The selfie camera also takes excellent pictures including panoramas. If you're on a budget and don't want to spring for a 5G phone just yet, I'd recommend this one, probably over the Redmi Note 9 series from what I've seen of it so far. Don't be too early of the MediaTek chipset. I've seen no problems. I've not experienced any big heating issues (especially compared to the iPhone 7+ I had before which you could fry an egg on while playing Fortnite and charging, which caused the battery to fail even when plugged in). It does get rather warm when using apps which are resource hogs and fast charging simultaneously. The only critique I've seen of this phone which I'd agree with after months of continuous use is that it doesn't get monthly security updates. Sometimes it is 3 or 4 months behind my Moto G7 Power on those. But it is now running the latest Android 10 with the May security patch.

The Indian model has the security patches / updates pretty old as I saw in this "forum". Those phones haven't even received Android 10, neither security patches. You can go to update and do the download the last update in the three dots from the top corner. Maybe that will help. You can just flash a ROM with MIUI 12 / Android 10 id you want. By the way, there is no way we can help you. The Indian version can hold 2 SIMs and one micro SD card but it hasn't got NFC and the Global version, the one which ends with G not with I, it can hold only 2 SIMs or one SIM and one SD card. Have you noticed that you got 2 "SIM trays"? We have got only one. If you need further help, please reply to this message.

                      I bought the Redmi Note 8 Pro in Brazil.
                      Because of the pandemic, many devices being sold are those from India. Mine is one of them.
                      My device is the M1906G7I model. MIUI updated to 11.0.4.0 and android 9 (Although the Security Patch is still in 2019)
                      I noticed that it does not support NFC. Has anyone else identified this? Do you know how to help me ??
