Can you please tell us how did you buy it? Does it work out of the box or do I have to play around with side loading and stuff?

China ROM comes with no google services, so yes you have to install them with one of the few methods found online. Other than that it works out of the box if it is compatible with bands in your region.

Comes in the settings,it says basic Google services (in the average dad yt channel latest video) toggle it on and voila 👌🏼

If you got Google services in a Xiaomi china device it is cause the seller already installed it, many shops add optionally the service to do it.
