AP set with vendor rom. LHOCNCL version. Quite a hassle since you'll need to flash the global rom (No need unlocked bootloader), but other than that it's the same thing.

Took me two hours, because of some driver problems but it was well worth it. One of the fastest fingerprint scanners I've used.

for those who say rom different, rom hard to update

> I own a redmi note 3 ap set bought via satugadget
> it's basically the same hardware as mi malaysia set, same hardware, same LTE band, same screen (some might have different manufacturer), same camera sensor (samsung s5k3p3), everything.
> As long you bought the "pro" aka snapdragon version, not the mediatek version (mediatek only sold in china)

> For ROM issues, if you got vendor rom instead of global rom, just head to miui.com http://en.miui.com/download-301.html and download the global rom, flash via updater app.. factory reset..that's it.... you're on global rom now.
> Different obviously is the warranty, one is ap warranty, and one is official malaysia warranty.

If you got any trouble flashing the rom (especially SD/Pro version), drop me a pm.
