And finally here are the Global ROMs for Mi MIX and Mi Note 2! The first Global Stables arrive today for the two Xiaomi phones but it does not touch the same fate for the Mi5s. Let's see why.
With this article, besides giving you the download links, we want to specify some procedures for installing the Global Stable ROM and explaining it what NOT to do.

Xiaomi Mi5s: Why not Get Global Beta?
No Global beta for Mi5s even today!
Let us clarify then: although the ROM "released" a few days ago does not present bugs, problems or anything else, the development team makes it clear that the Global Beta for Mi5s is still in the testing phase and therefore not officially released.
For those who had installed the ROM from the links provided a few days ago, you obviously do not expect OTA updates because, until the official release, you will not see them.

It will definitely have the global. Rather I wonder why Mi4C and Mi4S have never had it (neither the developer nor the stable)
Since February 20 very few and I repeat very few have received the 8.2 update, just look at the official xiaomi forum (WORLDWIDE) to understand that they are all pissed off.
