Xiaomi roms don't have ads. You ordered from a third party vendor that had installed their own rom showing ads. This is a problem of their distribution model -- the phones are available internationally only via unofficial third parties -- rather than their product.

You can get them in major European electronics chains, no need any shady reseller. They are pricier than online but you will get clean software and two year warranty while price is still beating closest competition of Lenovo and Honor.

they have ads even in official roms.

and sorry but the roms that xiaomi sells are without play services. the reason for customization. the rom is miui with google services.
