can someone clarify what is the difference now that there is china, india, and the MY set?

someone also reported that last minute MY changed the spec for the camera from f2.2 to f1.9.

like, ive seen reviewrs about the pro version with better camera, no focus hunting, good EIS.

then suddenly MY set launch and call it AI version. like, WHY ?

getting more and more confusing. which one is the superior version?

xiaomi naming scheme has always been confusing since the beginning, its not something new. i have done plently of research into this to know that even official staff also gets it wrong.

cant be blaming the staff, distributor or even the importer though, xiaomi themselves made things this way. see even satu gadget got it wrong.

calling it just "note 5" in china,
and calling it "AI" in MY
