Oneplus 7T regional hardware differences and LTE-support - OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi
As @Some_Random_Username found out, there seem to be different hardware-variants of the OP7T see this thread. The primary reason for this appears to be WWAN-band support (4G/5G).
I recently noticed the 7T European SKU(HD1903) dropped support for the important LTE-band 71. This makes it a bit less global. The Euro SKU is also missing 30, 46 and 48. It does get LTE-bands 40 and 32 (missing form USA-variant HD1905) in return the latter which does not appear to be in use anywhere.
I have contacted OP via the FCC contact and also via support to find out more. If there are HW-differences, we should be able to seem them by looking at the IC's Oneplus uses: their spec's determine which frequencies the handset can accomodate. Also the antenna's are important: sometimes a dedicated antenna is placed for a specific band. At any rate, it is a bit strange to split the SKU's merely for adding band-32 to the EU-variant.
There has to be more to it than that: licencing costs and chip costs coming to mind first.
Maybe you will also find such nitty gritty details fun to know. At least I am having fun in checking this out

I was on the edge myself when deciding which variant to purchase...the bands were the deciding factor I'm in the states so didn't want any issues using my data. I wanted the Chinese variant just to be able to say I have the Chinese 7t and the symbols on the box ? ROFL but yeah copped the US variant directly from OP ? I love it...

Is this the same model? Is it a good phone for the price still, the deal at the link below is very cheap.

Does anybody know how many hardware versions of the smartphone out there?
Or there is one and frequency selection is software dependent?
best deal at gearbest
You can buy at gearbest with 12 months warranty versus 6 months for less money, 164 euros with promo code "CellPhones8"
Hope it helps
I am a little confused here.
Both TD and gear best carry the 1 pro. Gearbest shows that the phone has band 7 (2600) and until today, tiny reflected that as well.
6 days after ordering from tinydeal, I have received an email from them stating the phone does NOT support band 7. Every other seller and device specification site says bands 3&7 are supported.
Finding official documentation has been a bit of a daunting task.
Advice, anyone?
I'm kind of confused about the phone, too. There seem to be three models floating around in stores, a regular one with bands B1/B3/B7/B38/B39/B40/B41, one with B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B12/B17/B25/B26, and an International one with different bands listed as well. Yet the manufacturer only seems to list the B1/3/7/38/39/40/41 model. Is this true? Does the second model I listed with B2/4/5/17 have full AT&T LTE support in the US?
Im really not sure. Too many conflicting reports. I think I'm going to cancel my order in the morning. I asked about the bands on the official tech support Le forum, and they referred me to their Hong Kong forum while completely dodging the question.
Update: A forum moderator sent me to the 'official' sales site here: http://cn.lemall.com/le_1pro/parameter.html
Three variants listed. All three have the same FDD-LTE bands of 1/3/7
In today's email from tinydeal they told I that the phone ordered supports B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B12/B17/B25/B26.
I'm kinda torn now.. at under $200 it's not a huge risk.. But I'm already kinda tired of dealing with the crap of finding just the basics on this device. How much harder will it be when I have it in hand and need to do something more advanced?

I just received mine from Coolicool today. Popped in my Cricket sim card and LTE Discovery lists me as being connected to Band 17 right now. This must be an updated model, as it appears that the newly listed bands are correct. Maybe this is a sign that they're actually moving forward with releasing the phone in the US? If anyone suspects that LTE Discovery might be wrong, please point me to a better utility.
For the record, I purchased mine from Coolicool. As of today, all of the other models have been removed (the two with the different bands listed and the international version) and this is the sole model up for sale. It won't allow me to post a link because I'm new here, but it's the featured product on the upper right side of the screen.

The option is missing from the first menu. The second menu says CDMA and has a box you can check. I have no way of knowing what it did or if it works, as I don't live in an area that using Band 20. All I know is that I'm definitely getting Band 2 and 17, which haven't been available up until this new batch started shipping out apparently. The specs on the site I bought from specifically says no Band 20 support, so I'm guessing this doesn't work.

Have you got it yet?
Does the 3 and 7 bands work?
I received one today, bought in Tinydeal and can confirm that it works in the band 4 Tmobile.
Can you please share your experience with the new phone. Battery, hit, camera, games for more than 30 min.
Thanks

I cancelled the order, ordered another from gearbest that did indeed work on bands 3&7 ( 7 being the important one for me - Free mobile in central France). Sold it after a couple days because the phone was just too damned big and the software was a mess.
Actually thinking of buying another one as a spare. My Nexus 5 did something wonky yesterday and I don't want to have it fail and get caught in a situation where I don't have a phone.

Did you order the same phone from gearbest?
I bought it from gearbest and in 5 days it already arrived
The software is a mess, so i installed cuoco92 rom
I looked on all official LeTV/ LeEco sites (Global, India, HK, China) but don't seem to be able to find an "international version". Does anyone know where to find official information rather than from resellers?

No, I decided not to order another one. I thought I could get past my dislike of 5.5 inch phones, but just too big for daily use for me. 5.2 inch seems to be the sweet spot, so that's where I'm focusing my attention at the moment - though that is presenting it's own set of challenges.
I'm using a nexus 5 at the moment. I would like a little better battery life and a little larger screen, but I'm not dying for a new phone at the moment.
If I do find myself in a spot where I have to replace my phone and I can't find a 5.2 inch that checks all the boxes (big one being budget), I'll probably just stick with a 5 inch phone.
Right now the top two are the xiaomi mi4c and the huawei p8.
I would rather go with an Mi5 or P9 but they're out of my price range.

I don't think an official international version exists. At least thas what I gathered from talking to some LeTv support people on their forums. Everything sold outside of HK/China and India is considered gray market, as far as I can tell.

[Q] Buying 7x/SE for T-Mobile. Which variant?

Short and sweet, do I buy the US 7x for $200 or the Mate SE for $230 with 2x the RAM/ROM?
Seems pretty obvious (go with the SE), but I do care a lot about updates and rooting/roms so just curious what peoples thoughts are there.
Any input?
Sean
I always use gsm arena for phone specs. If you look there (for Honor 7x), and select version 'L24', it will show 'for USA, also known as the Mate SE' (they don't have a separate listing for the Mate SE).
Basically, they are identical phones, so as far as updates etc, they should be the same. Also read on one of the 'twrp for 7x' threads that someone followed the same procedure on their Mate SE and it worked fine. Being the anal type, and knowing they are basically identical, I still verified the Mate SE has the separate vendor partition, required for treble.
Works with T-mo? I'm sure the 2 are the same, but just read they only have 3 of the 5 lte bands t-mo uses. Except, 1 of those bands, B71, only 2 phones in the world have connectivity with! That's the new 600 MHz spectrum T-mo just bought, so that one almost shouldn't even be counted. My SE connects great with t-mo where I am, I'm sure the 7x would be identical.
Which one to go with? honestly, unless yer a heavy user of simultaneous apps, either one. Do you prefer grey or black?

Difference Between EU & CN Versions

Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone could clarify the differences between the CN version of the phone and the EU version. I'm thinking of purchasig a phone from Aliexpress and want to make sure of the diferences first!
I know that the CN version misses the LTE bands 25, 32 & 66 (which only appear to be important in NA) and will need the global rom flashed to it. Are there any other differences?
Thanks for any help!
Hello
Although I have no evidence about this, the phone may have been adapted a bit to match with the CN gov requirements. I guess this is related to real time check and the removal of some forbidden features. For exameple, on CN iPhones, iMessage cannot operate audio calls, so the user has to use Wechat call for this (which is totally under control by them).
Sorry for this unprecise answer but by instinct I'd avoid buying stuff from mainland China since the gov involves a bit much in everything there.
I bought a CN variant (HD1900) which came flashed with the Global ROM. I used Oxygen Updater to check for latest updates and all done. I think you have to be pragmatic about buying phones / other from China - if the Chinese government want to 'spy' on me, there are easier ways than monitoring which is encrypted and running a VPN all the time. If anyone had any evidence of mis-doing, it would be public knowledge - look how Huawei was affected without any evidence !

Those LTE bands and less warranty. That's all the differences.

note 8 pro variants and models - eu model MZB8511EU ??

Hi everyone,
Just received my note 8 pro, ordered on xiaomi france offcial website. I looked at the note 8 pro megathread briefly and some others too.
I haven't even turned my phone on, but i got something on my mind : apparently, there's an indian and a global version. the china or eu versions, even malaysian, are all global versions customized for these locations, but fully compatibles. All these versions have model numbers like "M1906G7*".
What i don't understand, is about the model number MZB8511EU, wich seems to be exclusively for the blue model with 6G + 128G. I found a website listing all variants but it was'nt listed there. When i google this model number, i can only find commercial websites selling this model, always blue with 6 + 128G, and labeled as "EU version". Even on xda, no post is mentionning this model number.
I'm asking cause on the bill xiaomi france gave me on the website, before i received the phone, the model number was MZB8511EU (i ordered the blue one with 6 + 128g), but i received a M1906G7G. I was happy that i'd receive the EU model cause xiaomi france says on it's website it has B7/B20/B28 LTE bands (seems they're french only bands), but i was also scared as no post on xda even contains the model number MZB8511EU, i was afraid i'd get a model no one here has, thus getting higher risks doing wrong things and bricking my phone...
Finally it seems the model i received support B7/B20/B28 bands also, even thought informations about LTE bands on note 8 pro seem inconsistants and differ from a website to another... So i have no complaints about what i received, but it's still itching me not to know about that "EU model" MZB8511EU, which seem unkown here on xda...
Sorry for my poor english grammar, i haven't practiced since some long years now, and many thanks if you read this far...

is it good that the CN sets comes with GMS?
Yeah i'm thinking to buy one. But stil don't know which one. Chinese with global rom or Global at ZTE Shop.
Chinese with global rom is cheaper at Giztop, but there is a chance to get extra customs.
1. This phone is Chinese Edition, comes with Global version software installed(international ROM), includes Google Play Service.
2. This phone supports multi-language: English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and more.
3. This phone supports these network bands:
4G: FDD: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26/28; TDD: B34/38/39/40/41.
5G: n1/n3/n28/n41/n78
so no one has one? Mine supposed to arrive today
Chinese version with global rom comes with problems... I find it's MUCH slower to update (have to almost force it to) and can be a mother to root.
Older google apps abound and it doesn't want to update these, manually installing newer APK's seems to fail more times than not.
There can be bloatware that is (almost) impossible to uninstall.
Theme stores might not work without a Chinese number and you are stuck with some apps being only in Chinese with no English, or any other language, options.
Chinese phone might be a little cheaper but the Global variant will mean less headaches...
I have the Chinese Axon 20 and themes are especially a pain, the Theme store is geared for the Chinese and I find them all very cartoony, Forget about changing fonts as it uses theme store bought ones and again, not English. They ALL cost too. (Have to use Chinese currency)..
Forget about reading the changelog of a new Firmware, if you get updates, t took a few months with me checking and getting a "can't connect with server" error" before it finally updated, still a month or 2 behind in security patches though, though that may be normal.
All in all I wish I'd spent the few extra $$ on a Global variant but it wasn't available in my area at the time so got the Chinese one instead cos I'm an impatient little bugger.
Updating is a pain as you need to navigate Chinese only sites to find the firmware if you want to root or anything, a lot of these sites are hard to get things from, even with a VPN, and depending on the suppliers means of adding the Google apps, may not allow upgrading. This means having the stock firmware handy is nigh impossible if you have problems and is easier to end up with a brick...
Hope this helps you make up your mind.
To sum up, what you get is about all you can expect to work with (spent hour pulling my hair out trying to root a Chinese Axon 7 and ended up loosing all phone functionality), as long as you're happy to use without root, too much theme customisation problems with stock Android and hard to ignore apps you just can't get rid of. It may be worthwhile but in my opinion, get the Global version instead.
Got the Global Axon 30, much better experience and again, cost may only be up to $100 more but peace of mind is priceless...

I bought global. Not sure why anyone would buy cn version
Again, the phone bought Chinese version was the Axon 20, and it wasn't available in my region, not even through international postage and It was also unintentional (Seller had "Global ROM' in BIG letters but CN model in itty bitty letters).
The Axon 30 I got a true Global variant from ZTE direct, came with a screen protector and ZTE iMore buds. Funnily enough though the screen protector supplied by ZTE, the official tempered glass protector, had the camera cutout which I thought was an odd choice seeing as how the phone's most advertised selling point is the under display camera. That was a boner-headed move on their part but the phone is pretty good.
Got mine today. Pretty good. Do wish I could crank up the color though. The setting for color is limited.

So from what I am seeing the G version is the USA/NA version and the one that is just A2322 is the China version. (was looking at a device for sale-had some Chinese characters in the settings and no "G"-OS version was slightly ahead or higher at 11.0.16)

I'm going for the Global model, but i want the 12GB/256GB model and it is still not avalible at the ZTE Global store.
I read that the phone doesn't have dual speakers. Is there a way to enable the ear speaker and use that for second speaker?
