I've taken the plunge and ordered the CN version. When shopping for an M pen I came across a couple of sellers with pens that they say are only for the Chinese version.
Is this true? Do I need a different M pen just because it's the Chinese version and not international?
Thanks

According to the customer q&a section in this Amazon listing https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-M-Pen-Mate-EVR-AL00-Gray/dp/B07KBF9Q61 even though some pens are advertised to "only" work with the Chinese EVR-AL00 version, ppl have responded that it works with global EVR-L29 too
Thanks for this clarification. Much appreciated.

the pen works for the mate 20x in general so the version doesnt matter
where did you order your phone from and how much did it cost you ?
Best price was around 617 GBP and is allegedly from Switzerland. God knows really but its a seller with good rep.

well yes at least to me, open box means someone opened it and then i cant be sure if its completely new or user return or sth but factory sealed means you are the first hand to open it since you pay alot of money for it lol
sadly enough, wondamobile and tradingshenzen both open the boxes and when i asked the later for a sealed factory they said we wont give you warranty then
I've only read them opening the boxes to put Google play on it. Which I can understand as it's beyond the skillz of most users to get the 3 apks on and working. But yes I see what you mean. I guess you could tell.be looking at battery charge cycles and stuff as to whether it had been used previously.

And how exactly would you get the battery cycles count on a current Emui device that has been reset? Exactly, you can't.

i wasnt aware of that but good to know and as you can see its best to be the first to open sth you spend lots of money on
I got my AL00 yesterday. It was an unopened box. Lots of Chinese stuff but enough things in English to let me get started.
I added Google Play after some searching around on how to do it. Hopefully all sorted now.
And a pen that was stated to be for the international version works fine with the Chinese one.

Somebody found on stores a spare original battery? I bought this phone since I can swap batteries, but I can't find them
I know it could be early, but in USA they are giving them away and samsung has spare batteries same day they relesed the phones :-/
Thank you
My experieince with a ton of Samsung phones is that I have to wait a month or even more to order a spare battery kit (Note4, Note3, etc). Thats if I buy one at release.
Have you tried a Verizon store? My local VZ store had them in stock. If you arent US, ebay has them for around 30$ USD with cradle, but they are shipped from Korea.

A samsung battery bought with S5 the same release week was $15.Maybe we didn't need to wait in italy since the official store release was later than USA and we can find the battery at the same time time of the other.
Anyhow it's alittle bit that the phone was released!

the non OEM original name is "LG G4 Power Pack" and comes with package, you can find an auction about it, but it's still something like €59 euros: you can buy almost 5 original LG G3 battery or 6 non original battery for the same price today, so it's just a question of time, I won't waste money till they are officially sold in Europe since I don't even need a cradle... :-/
I'm planning on buying this phone via AliExpress (there's no way to get it other than this in my area). I had the "Eternal Team." seller in mind. Can anybody tell me about the things I need to look out for and if it's possible to root the phone and get EU firmware on it? This will be my first android phone so any advice/tutorials are welcome. I also used willmyphonework.net to check if the network works in the Netherlands and everything seems fine
Most Aliexpress sellers will flash the phone prior to shopping with the WW firmware so that you will have Google play installed and read any reviews on the seller you are looking at ordering from, and make sure the order page lists every item on your order otherwise the Ali guarantee is worthless

I'm afraid that will leave me at a price in the 300 euro, I would be better of buying an other device if so. Did you eventually get the device shipped?
Yes I got the device and to be fair it works fine. Just be aware the delays can be considerable and aliexpress support is non existant.
I have since purchased a second device for a friend from Amazon US using a reshipping company which was a much more positive experience.
I'm guessing you want to avoid taxes so Eternal are a good option in that regard as they did allow me to specify a price that they put on the package which went through without issue.

Yes. Ty. I found it on newegg. That's where I'm going.
I was wondering if there was a way you could check the unit if it has RK3188 or RK3066, as there are different places selling different version of these Joying Unit. Also how about the resolution since there is 2 type is there a way to find out what resolution the unit is.
You can check the specs before you buy the unit, as everyone does, right?

Well, sorry if i seemed not friendly. You should check first of all where to buy, then, check if the seller has good ratings, reviews, etc. Then just double check you can choose between the different specs to the one u want, and ask the seller before buying it just in case. I got mine through aliexpress and didnt have a problem at all. Well, ive bought like 100 times there and never had an issue. Hope this helps a bit more.

Today I ordered N930FD and it will come tomorrow.
Are the duos phones with no battery issues or they are also prone to blowing up.
I suppose that this phone might come from a new batch and it will be good, but will the IMEI checking websites show me if there is an issue?

I like to think my battery battery is safe. I've not run into any problems since August 15th when I received the device. I don't plan on exchanging it either until I see the slightest hiccup if any kind. Goes to show how good the FD version is.
ANY device may have an affected batt, go safe, exchange
I ordered it from a local store and canceled the order because I checked the IMEI before purchase and it was from the affected ones :/

You won't see any "hiccups". Having your Note 7 run hot isn't a sign the battery may be bad, nor is battery drain (Unless it's draining at like 1%/Minute or something).
As soon as the battery develops an internal short through the separator (if that truly is the issue) it'll rapidly heat, develop more shorts and catch fire internally. Despite what I keep reading there's not going to be any signs, the batteries aren't overheating at all, and they can operate normally up to like 50*c or something. They will overheat once they've caught fire though. So suck it up and go and replace it. You cannot know if yours is bad.
I just found this online shop in SG selling the new batch for less than 800 USD. I am going to order soon

LOL... I wouldn't say "anything"... And believing nothing would make me ignorant. Sort of like those who believe that Samsung is omni-potent.
Tried to place an order and strangely got declined even though it's one of the accepted card...Oh well, will try another card later.
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.

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 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.

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.

Please let me know how it works out, the 20X is my next phone just trying to decide which one I want. The China version is like $200 cheaper than the International one or the same price for the 8 gig versus the 6gig international version.

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.

So it's pretty much the same experience as a American phone?
