Hi
I will go next week to China and plan to buy a OnePlus 5T there. Is the version I can buy in china different then the version for europe? I need for example Band B20 to have LTE in my area.
What about the software, is it the same on all phones arround the world or are there any disadvantages when I buy in China? For example waranty?
Regards
Michael

The hardware of OP5T is the same everywhere around the world. Band 20 is on the supported band list for Chinese OP5T, you can check it on OP's cn cite.
Chinese OP5T ships with Hydrogen OS, as there is no Google service in China. You can flash the phone to Oxygen OS without much trouble.
I have no idea of warranty situation outside China. You might want to contact your local OnePlus service for that information.
Hi Michael,
I heard we need to buy it online even in China.
If you managed to find retailer store, can you please let me know ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Greetings from Bangladesh. I wanted to buy Oneplus 5t from China. I am having trouble with it's Hydrogen OS. My friend will buy and ship this phone from China to my country, but problem is that he says in China its only Hydrogen OS and my friend has no idea about any phone's ROM functionality. So, if he buys from China, does it have English language on that device for changing it's ROM? Because I will change it's ROM personally and I have no idea about Chinese language. Please reply and I will be glad.
Thanks :laugh:

I do remember that the user is presented with a language selection page when you boot the phone for the first time. The page is in Chinese though, with one drop down list of usable language. I haven't tried using HOS in English, but I think you can.
Then you can enable OEM unlocking in developer options and proceed to unlock the bootloader then flash the ROM you like.
I bought this phone online in China.
Download the Oxygen OS from the OnePlus site. Install it onto your phone's hard drive. Flash it from recovery. It was very simple to do.
i've been researching various aspects of this phone all damn day to make sure it's right for me but i don't have sufficient understanding of how networks work to figure out for myself if either p2a42 or p2c72 will work in canada. does anyone have experience with using it here? i hate bothering yall with this kinda dumb question but i don't know where else to turn. fyi i'm on bell.
P2a42 is a global version so it work in every country. Check Lenovo P2 product information on a Lenovo website to make it sure .
Go for p2a42
It will work thou u can check Canada radio frequency from YouTube search and then look is the same radio frequency is present in Lenovo official site for Lenovo P2
Hi, i just spend days researching on the lenovo p11, and ended realizing that i should spend a little more and buy the xiaomi.
I'm from Israel. i use google apps + i want the firmware to be in English (i use Hebrew in apps).
I plan to buy in aliexpress. please advise, what are the differences between the Chinese and global rom versions on the mipad 5 chinese devices that are sold in aliexpress?
Did you ever find out info for this?
I cannot find IQoo 9 Pro to be available for sale in UK or US with Funtouch OS. Any site that sells it to UK or US (like AliExpress) is only selling the Origin OS Version, is there any way I can get my hands on the funtouch OS version?
If I buy the Origin OS version, can I then root it and install Funtouch OS on top of it?
No you cannot migrate from origin to fun touch.
Is there anywhere we can buy the Funtouch OS version in UK or US?
Try Amazon India.
Amazon India doesn't deliver to UK or US.
It asks for Indian pin code to deliver.
maybe try to find a reliable Online Mobile phone seller in India but it is risky...

Any recommendations for online sellers who ship outside of India?
How did you get this device shipped to Australia?
mine is Origin and I bought it on Aliexpress.
I wouldn't recomment Origin OS.
Thanks for the response, I am also planning on buying this phone from AliExpress.
What exactly is wrong with Origin OS? Does it pass safety net? Are you able to use Google pay with it?
The main drawbacks I have heard was that Android Auto doesn't work, but I have never used Android Auto, so that is not an issue for me.
So ... A lot of things are annoying :
- tons of china apps (some can be removed using abd, many can't be)
- no google assistant voice control. Annoying when you drive and wanna make a call or send a text
- can't force change the SMS and phone app.
- Whatsapp selfies don't work.
- can't google back up your phone.
- and as you know android auto
And tons more i don't recall.
Does Google Pay / Safety net work?
That would be the major dealbreaker for me.
Yes you can install Google Play.
Not sure about safety net work ...
"Google Pay" not Google Play, Pay is what you use to pay using NFC with your saved credit cards from your phone.
I believe Safety net is required for Google Pay to work, so they are both interlinked.
My bad. Yes they both work. Pay and play.
Thanks for confirming that, I really want to have Google Pay working on my mobile phone.
It looks like there is no way to buy the Funtouch OS version in UK or US, so I would have to buy the Origin OS version.
If you really truly want this phone. I am happy with it tbh ... but the amount of chinese stuff on it that cant be ADB removed and some missing core Android functions are a killer.
I do use Android Auto daily and i have to use my old S8+ tethering via BT with my IQ 9P to be able to get navigation. Its so annoying !
There is a iqoo 9 pro with funtouch os on ebay, imported from India
Hello friends, I wonder if this will work on IQOO 9 Pro as they are very similar phones:
