Xiami phones have two officials ROM from the manufacturer, chinese and international. The chinese ROM is Asian languages and English only. It is loaded with the usual Asian apps instead of google play. The phone is not usable out of the box for a westerner, for instance you don't have a typical English keyboard. You can install google play by following the instructions. The international ROM has 10+ European languages. It comes with google play and the usual apps pre installed. Both ROM can be downloaded from the manufacturer website but you need special hardware and possibly an unlock code to swap them. It's possible that the importer gave an international version that is perfectly legit, or that he installed google play by himself, which is also legit. The ROM can be checked in the about page. Some re sellers might replace the system with a fake OS loaded with adware/spyware but that's a different problem.
