I know there is international version can be bought in Hong Kong, with all assets against Chinese.
However, it is much easier for me to ro get Chinese... Maybe it will be also cheaper, but it is second story.
My question is if will be possible to install global fw in China phone?
Thanks
Short answer. Nope. At least not now.
O must see prices of both. Generally, China phones localisation is not so poor, with some work, one ca adopt is enough. I have now honor note 10, same work...
I hope it would be possible to unlock BL and root and de_chinise it.

So I live in China. I was just at the Huawei store an hour ago. And I had the same question; Can I eventually put the International rom on the Chinese version?
All I can say is that right now, the easiest way to do that is to buy the phone in Hong Kong for example.
But the problem is that they sell the 128Gb/6G RAM for almost 200 USD more than the price you get the Mate pro 8GB RAM/256 GB version in China..
I think I'll go with the Chinese version, waiting to switch the rom at some point.
PS: If installing the google suite is not possible by allowing apks of unknown source
I afraid this will never work...
but thankes. key is price difference. i will also go on al00
Not to mention the global version only comes in the blue color. I didn't like that.

Google is baked in by default so just install playstore from app gallery and you're good to go!

Oh yeah?
So just to be clear,
- DL the .apk(s) for the google suite and allowing "unknown sources" from the mate 20 will make possible to have the google apps?
It seems too easy to be true, but maybe you're right, I have no idea.
I just want to make sure that I won't buy it to realize that this won't work.
Returning anything here in China is a real pain, even on the same day

Don't need to download the apk.
Go into app gallery
Change country to China
Search for Google playstore.
Click update and open playstore
The usual setup will start
Done.
You dont need to install google suite apk. Just install play apk from apk mirror. It worked with note 10. And working with mate20x from china. Google services are already baked on rom by default.

Is this typical of China version Huawei phones?
I've always thought that ROMs were interchangeable, as long as the hardware was the same.

Technically yes. However Huawei made it harder for cross region rom flashing by locking the bootloader and rom region detection.

sorry about that - google led me astray on my mate 20 pro chinese version seach
I was just reading the huge chinese version mate x thread and someone was saying the bands were different (but better, nothing missing - just more bands if I understood correctly)
so now I just need to read the mate 20 pro threads to see if it is similar in this way...

Hi guys,
I will get very soon my first china handy - the Mate 20 X - 8 GB / 256 GB - china version.
Now I read that Saturn / Mediamarkt will bring the Mate 20 X to Germany. Therefore I expect that an international / European version is on the way.
Is it possible to flash the china version with this international one?
No idea til now.

I know only the china version can be unlocked and just now I saw this news
https://9to5google.com/2018/11/15/google-android-pie-project-treble-expectations/
Highlighted text from Google
"Going forward, all devices launching with Android 9 Pie or later will be Treble-compliant and take full advantage of the Treble architecture to deliver faster upgrades. Thanks to Treble, we expect to see more devices from OEMs running Android 9 Pie at the end of 2018 as compared to the number of devices that were running Android Oreo at the end of 2017."
What this means is that, whether Huawei likes it or not, Pie is already treble ready and there's a good chance that we are able to flash aosp on the device.

I think it is as safe as can be. Just follow the instructions properly and you should be good. I just did that. I removed the browser and a few other apps such as Hivoice and Hiboard etc. I didn't remove everything chinese as many of them do no harm.
I currently have the mate 20 pro and it has the green screen issue. So... Sadly I'm sending it back, I was going to swap it for another though amazon advised me not to. They also refunded the accessories I purchased which supprised me. I now don't know whether to try to import a mate 20 X or settle for the 6t. I would be grateful if anyone with the 20x could help me decide and answer a few questions?
I haven't seen any threads about it. But has anyone had any issues with the screen?
I've read some people have had problems with the Chinese version, when looking at adverts how do I make sure the phone I'm buying is the international version? Most don't say they just give the model number.
Is there an 8gb/256 version of the international model? Does enyone have an ebay link for where I could get it sent to the UK?
Does anyone have any reasons why I shouldn't consider getting this phone?
Thanks for your help.
I don't have the phone (at least yet) but i'm following closely all threads because i'm very interested too and i never see anyone complaining about the gluegate, even a reviewer frankytech thinks its only targeting pro series because of the curved screen.
If you want to buy international version you need to check if the model is named EVR-L29, china model is AL00. There's no international model atm in 256/8GB variant. About sellers to the international, there's splendor, wonda, funkyhuawei, expansys and ebay. Probably more but i forgot.

Would you recommend the Chinese model?
Is it easy to add the play store? Are there any issues with Google services? e.g. Google pay? As I use that a lot.
I bought an xaomi tablet and that took a lot of effort to get Google app store and services working properly.
Also I was wondering does face unlock work OK on this phone? I know it doesn't have the 3d scanner.

I came from a OnePlus 6. Definitely get the 20 X if you like large screen phones. The X uses a Samsung AMOLED panel and is free of defects. I would buy the Global version if root isn't important to you. If it is then buy the Chinese version. I bought the Global version and have no issues with it. The 6gb/128 Global version is plenty fast. You won't see any difference between the 6gb and 8gb versions as far as speed or apps in memory goes, it's all pretty much a gimmick unless you're buying the 256gb/8gb version just for the storage size.

The storage was the main reason I ended up going for the Chinese version.
I'm worried about Google pay not working on Chinese phones but I'm hoping the rest will end up working OK.
Hopefully someone will work out how to rebrand it so I can have the best of both worlds.

I have the China 8/256 version. And although I was worried about getting it once I changed the language, keyboard, got Google play to work it's a great phone.. my wife is laughing at me saying it's too big but personally I love it. It's fast and smooth and the screen is amazing.
I've not tried Google pay yet. I was able to add my credit card but not my bank card strangely. I will try Google pay tomorrow and let you know.

Get the International version.
The Chinese version will most likely end up frustrating you. The international version just works, no tinkering or rooting needed.

Ordered from shopee to the Philippines
Should be delivered shortly
The global mate 20 pro just went on sale today and it's cheaper to buy locally with a warranty than the 20 X is to buy from China
I thought about cancelling but the mate 20 pro doesn't really appeal to me ( except waterproof + 40w charger aspect )
I prefer the 7.2" screen, capacitive fingerprint reader and 8/256 over 6/128 ,bigger battery and flat screen (don't like curved glass ) so I think there isn't anything else that can compete with the m20X right now and there may not be for awhile
I wish there was 8/256 EVR-L29

Get rid of the Huawei/Chinese crap and install Google equivalents and you will have a great phone regardless
If you're in China then get the Chinese version. However, if you're living anywhere else then get the international version.
You won't notice the difference.

Hi and thanks ahead for any thoughts..
Am in Canada and have received the new Mate 20x 5G. (8/256)..Canada being a year away from 5G but I travel alot.
It is the Chinese version and I am cutting my head off trying to get things working properly...
1. I CANNOT change the Launcher from Huawei Home. Thoughts??
2. When I use notepad and speak, it translates to Chinese rather than English, although my language is set to English.
This is much the same with any Huawei apps or AI or whatnot. I am finding it a real challenge getting rid of the Chinese... but my fault I guess as this is a Chinese version.
Oh... EVR-AN00 Build 9.9.9.168
Any help at all would be truly appreciated.

This is the only disadvantages of Chinese versions, you should have taken the global one.
There are advantages as well, cheaper and might get update faster.

2. When I use notepad and speak, it translates to Chinese rather than English, although my language is set to English.
This is much the same with any Huawei apps or AI or whatnot. I am finding it a real challenge getting rid of the Chinese... but my fault I guess as this is a Chinese version.
Oh... EVR-AN00 Build 9.9.9.168
Any help at all would be truly appreciated.

Sorry! you might have some luck if you can buy a bootloader unlock - which currently does not exist. And wow! I just learned that the notepad transcribes my voice ... into Chinese. Might be very handy if I knew some Mandarin. Is there a 5G EVR-N29? Hope someone can help you, but I think not. Go to the Goodbye Huawai thread and vote for FU Huawei for locking the bootloader. All we need is another 1493 to reach 1500.................

Still a great phone though...
Further...
Only the tip of the iceberg I am afraid. I am heading to China the first week of December and am pretty certain that I will be returning with a Mate X. This will frustrate me beyond comprehension if I cannot find a way to get Google Apps on it.
As far as the Mate 20x 8/256.... absolutely love the screen size, build and camera. The battery is better than the Note 8 I was using although I had a 1TB card in that phone and I am limited to 256GB integrated and the 256GB Nano card.and ... well I already mentioned the fact that I cannot get rid of much of the Chinese that is part and parcel to Launcher, Notepad, AI and so on. It is rather amusing speaking in Notepad and having it transcribe into Chinese...

you can download the playstore from the appgallery and then get all you want from it etc.
changing the launcher isnt possible on the cn version but to be honest despite that am a nova die hard user, i didnt find the launcher that bad at all and could handle using it ( i have the global version tho )
most of the chinese stuff can be uninstalled manually or via adb and there is a post on here with a list that can help.
as for the storage issue, you ofc can max the sd card to 256 gigs but you can also have your most important stuff on an usb c otg flashdrive .
as for the notepad, am not so sure if you use another note app would it be the same or not , but after all the decision is all yours , i do love this phone and its the best i have ever owned so good luck with your decision
Hello to every owner of these amazingly beast
I received mine few days ago from giztop but I can't find anything to enable NFC mention to giztop about it that manufacturer and ad I bought said NFC YES, still no response...
Anyone know how to solve that?
Really pay good money for the phone and is shame not to have that function.
Please PM me
P.S Amazing 165w charger and SoT
As far as I know NFC is only available in global version

Not true, from where you get your data? On manufacturer Nubia both devices have nfc

Actually the NFC only deploy on the Global version. Even you have a Global ver, that is not available in China.

Thanks for the info. To make it clear, if you bought CN with 165w there is no NFC. If you change version to global can you have that function of NFC? Also do I have some benefits switching to eu or global version?
Thanks for all the info @CrazyMoney
On the screenshot I found that file on system apps, but can't find any other app or something install to enable nfc

Noop, The Chinese version does not have NFC hardware. So it doesn`t work.
