Chinese vs Indian made difference - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

I strongly feel there are some internal hardware differences between the "Made in China and Made in India variants . These differences especially seem to be network (4g) related .People having the China variant are more often reporting network issues in India
I tried asking this in the MI forum twice but my post was blocked by the moderator ,which adds to the suspicion . Any one has an idea on this ?

Well I have the Indian version(I suppose). Never had 4g issues

How can I know what version I have?

nothing like that mate.
Mine is made in India and i was facing LTE issues with september update, but after october update it just got solved

Unless there are specific parts that are made in India...they are the same parts in the Chinese made versions...just shipped to and assembled in India.

I still have network issues .Jio doesn't reconnect after coming out of a bad signal area. Need to toggle airplane mode. Yesterday I had data problems , had to reboot phone

Mine also no 4G written on the back. But no big deal, as long as I can connect to LTE network. That's more important rather than a word "4G".
And made in which country also not a big deal, as we know, Samsung has some factories spread in Asia country. Mine is written made in vietnam. My friend has 1 written made in Thailand. I got another friend written Made for Europe Countries.
It's only a box, as long as your IMEI is correct, there's nothing to worry about I guess.
Cheers.
Thanks man . I was a little bit worried about it. I've heard somewhere that made by Samsung is like made in China or India. At the moment I returned it waiting for a replacement. If it didn't work I'll just keep it.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Why have you returned it? Sounds like you have a genuine device. My first n9005 came form malaysia (was meant to be europe, damn amazon) and had the ugly 4g logo on the back so i instantly returned ot and got a BTU model with a nice clean back
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I thought only the US branded devices had 4G in the back?
None of the EU N9005s have anything other than 'Samsung' on the back, and they're all 'Made By Samsung'. I spend 3 days scouring the box for a made in text after someone asked where they all came from, no such info on EU boxes.

i think it is normal in my region. I have note 3 4g but no 4g symbol on the back cover.
Took it back and it's working normally with 4g lte network

No development for Europe?

As I'm still patiently waiting for the kit kat update for my region, I wonder if they have completely abandoned Europe development. I still have the mj6 update which is the latest firmware for Greece. Since then Samsung had released mk1, ml1, kit kat etc for usa but they completely neglect Europe the last 6 months.
Is this normal or they have sold like 30 tablets in whole Europe and they don't even care?
So who are the other 29 who had bought note 10.1 2014 from Europe?

Germany here, I bought one of the remaining 29. I'm still confident, that we will get the KitKat update soon. Being not the first one getting the update is not always a bad thing. There are reports of horizontal lines at video playback and audio glitches with the current 4.4 version. As I use my tablet heavily for video playback, I would not be amused about problems concerning video playback.
So I hope Samsung gets this sorted out then they can start to roll out the update in Europe as well.
I use the us update here in Switzerland. I have no issues at all so far. Videoplayback I is fine for me. I'll install the AUT version when it arrives, but no rush kitkat is great.
Samaung is always bad with updates, worst was HTC but now they are the best, they provide new android os within a month with sense ui and latest sense 6 to previous high and mid range devices. While samsung never ever upgrades ui. You should always consider this b4 buying sams phones but i expdcted some aosp or ports from other devices, sadly we also lack these
Here from Netherland, and I bought one of the last remaining 28. Sadly no kitkat update here, but I have no issues at all. I don't expect kitkat soon.

No you're not. If you were you wouldn't have started this thread. The EU usually gets non-carrier updates first. In this case the U.S. did. And it was about ten days ago which for those not anxiety stricken isn't a lot of time. This thread is just like the SM-P601 and SM-P605 "Samsung's abandoned us" threads. Everyone wants to be first but obviously not everyone can. Suck it up.
I'm in the UK here I bought one of the last remaining 27 but as @foo rightly pointed out it's better getting it later as it normally means all the little and big bugs get fixed. Either way your not the only one waiting there are 30 of us

But geographically neutral. I would have said the same thing if EU N10.1-14's got updated first and someone from the U.S. threw a tantrum. And I have no skin in the game. My N10.1-14's from Latin America.
Just flash the USA KitKat? It's fine.

My son and I bought 2 of the last 26. No kitkat In the UK but I am happy with what I have. What will be will be.

I know but you need to root and trip Knox fuse. Multi user is a core feature since 4.2 so there's no excuse for Samsung in a premium device like unlocked P605s. That's my point of view, maybe wrong maybe not [emoji12]
Enviado desde mi SM-P605 mediante Tapatalk
Yes, according to an user in a forum in Spain, there is Multiuser support in CND3 Spain. She posted a screen shot to show it.
No need to root and edit build.prop

I think that's for P600, not P605. Am I wrong?

Right. For P600.
AFAIK, no 4.4.2 yet for P605

Better than S6/Edge. Still present though, around 7-8 apps is where it cuts off. So yeah, not too bad unless you are the type to keep everything in the background.

Can anyone confirm this is true, I currently only have one sim in my phone and can't test.
I have not seen any chatter about this so-called new feature?
