Where do you guys shopping for screen protector and cases?

What is the drawback or disadvantages when buying 6GB version? Other than warranty issue

Bought China AP set of Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Can advise if can flash global ROM?
Already unlock bootloader. Everything seems ok. Only camera cannot start.

Just performed factory reset. Camera app till crashing.

How to tell which region of ROM i installed?
Mine currently showing:

Android version
7.1.1 NGI77B
MIUI Global 9.2|Stable
9.2.7.0(NEIMIEK)

Edit:
After browsing a little more, it's definitely Global ROM for India.
Apparently China variant doesn't have Nougat.

There is also thread about it

and another thread that discuss the difference between India and China variant.

Can't connect to public wifi. Sign in screen not appeared.

guys i already have the xiaomi AP set however the sim card doesnt fit mine is umobile already micro but this phone socket needs to be smaller than micro. should i buy new sim-card?

Don't look washed-out to me, just a lighter tone. This screen has a cooler colour temperature it seems.

i think you misunderstood... he comparing the screen display not the camera... that the same picture on two different phone i believe from twitter..
many xiaomi fanboy here dont be butthurt lah, be fair... even if you adjust the contrast etc, the color is kinda "fade"
to some people like me, still acceptable and i can live with that 

mun88, Smackers
9.5.6.0(OEIMIFA), is it normal that for this rom,
the screen brightness will auto switch to most dim after lock screen?
I didn't switch on battery saver.

My area the pricing for AP set like this one always is sky rocket d.
Both pricing are 6+64GB one~

jus got the unit,
fingercross, so far screen no washout nor undersaturated

but i found 1bug, double tap to wake screen
the screen was awake for 0.5s before it sleep again
anyone hv this bug?
