What will the region change affect in Xiaomi smartphones?
Depending on the region selected on Xiaomi smartphones, the MIUI shell (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/482) can change system settings, add or hide some apps and settings.
The region can only be changed on Xiaomi or Redmi smartphones, except for Mi A1 / A2 (+ Lite) / A3 users, as these devices are equipped with “clean (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/482)” Android.
Why does region selection affect the settings of Xiaomi smartphones?
Each state or region has its own requirements for electronics, its own standards and conditions for manufacturers. For this reason, companies are required to comply and comply with the requirements of the countries in which they intend to sell their devices.
To change the region on Xiaomi smartphones: Go to “Settings” ➔ “Advanced Settings” ➔ “Region” (Settings ➔ Advanced Settings) Region).
Don't forget to restart your smartphone after changing the region!
What will change the region affect:
Loudspeaker and headphone volume
If you change the region to “India” or “Singapore”, the sound on the device’s external speakers and headphones will increase.
Why does the choice of these two regions affect the sound parameters?
The reason may be related to the legislation of these countries, for example, according to European standards, the volume on a smartphone should not exceed 80 dB, while in other countries - 110 dB.

If your Xiaomi smartphone does not have a “Face Unlock” feature, try changing the region to India. The “Face Open” feature is especially handy for users of Redmi 7A and 8A smartphones that don’t have a fingerprint scanner.
Additional options in theme (themes) and wallpapers
After changing the region to ‘India’, you will be able to set and select ringtones and fonts in the ‘Themes’ (Temi) app. In other regions, only themes and wallpapers are available here.
Also, the function of changing the wallpaper on the table will be added "Carousel wallpaper".
Another advantage of choosing the Indian region is that system updates can come to your smartphone faster. The reason is that the Indian market is key for Xiaomi.
What are the disadvantages of changing the region:
Although a few interesting features have emerged, changing the region causes some inconvenience. For example, as a result of changing the time zone (chasovoy belt), Uzbekistan can be set to +5 India instead of +5,5. But this can be fixed manually.
Also, changing the region can lead to a change in the language of the calendar (and, accordingly, holidays) and the malfunction of some navigation (maps) applications.
When you select certain regions, Xiaomi apps will start showing ads. While there are additional opportunities in the Indian region itself, advertisements can also be shown. (Get rid of ads using the DNS setting (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/661))
