Guide #

China Xiaomi / Redmi phones in Google Play supported devices¹ have built-in Google Services. We just need to install Google Play.

Turn on Google Services
- HyperOS: Settings -> Additional settings -> Account & sync -> Basic Google Services
- MIUI: Settings -> Account & sync -> Basic Google Services
Install Google Play: search “google play” on GetApps, and install or update “Google Play Store”. If Google Play isn’t found on GetApps, install it from Aptoide.

Now you should find Play Store on the home screen.

This tutorial was tested on Redmi K40S, Redmi Note 12 Turbo, Redmi Turbo 3, Mi 11 LE, and Xiaomi 14.

Thanks to Shitao Wu for testing Xiaomi 14 (HyperOS).

Notice #

This guide may not work for some phones. I don’t know which phones it doesn’t work for. You need to to try it by yourself.

If you haven’t buy the phone you want, you can:

Try this guide on the phone in a Xiaomi Store.
Buy a refundable phone online and try it.
Search online to see if someone succeeded with the phone you want.
Ask online if this guide works for the phone you want.

If you have already bought the phone but this guide doesn’t work for you, you can:

Return or sell it, and buy another one.
Unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM bundled with Google Play (this is quite complicated for average users. If you want to try, check XDA Forums and xiaomi.eu).
