I bought a global ROM, with European charger brick, all Google services and Playstore installed.
I couldn't register it as a valid Lenovo product - no Lenovo website recognised my device from its IMEI or serial number, contrary to what the product documentation states.
Lenovo Motorola support people ignored my request, said even if it is Global ROM, that is not meant to be used outside China. Go to the seller and complain there.
The preinstalled Lenovo Help app, doesn't recognise the device too, throws unknown error on entering product details.
So, any problem, software or hardware, Lenovo isn't going to help in anyway, because they don't recognise this to register..only the seller has to help.
Camera app crashes, lockscreen wallpaper not changing, stutters, hangs, and i asked the seller, and he knows nothing, just offers 1 year warranty, says send screenshot, and keeps quiet.
No OTA updates, as the seller claimed - android security patch is still Jan 2019, 1.5 years, no updates yet.. no hope of getting any updates either..
Yet, people are buying this phone - possibly unaware that, this is not an official Lenovo
product - Global ROM or not, doesn't matter.

So .
The global rom is not official..
And true the phone is only meant for the Chinese market..
But no worries.
This is the best phone for modding..
Unlock the bootloader and flash a host of custom roms with great features..
I am currently using Miui 12 on my Z5s
Overall a very good phone
