Is this the same model? Is it a good phone for the price still, the deal at the link below is very cheap.
http://www.tinydeal.com/letv-le-1-pro-55-2k-snapdragon-810-4gb-ram-64gb-rom-4g-phone-p-159277.html

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.

Model confusion (picture inside)

Hi there
I did a lot of research, but I'm still stuck and would love some help.
Obviously there are 3 models of the Oneplus 3
- Europe / Asia
- China
- North America
They all have model numbers, for example, the users in America got the A3000 model, the users in Europe the A3003 model. So far it's easy.
My problem:
I'm from Switzerland and we can't buy the Oneplus 3 from official channels. So I have to import it.
But right now, I'm in Thailand for a while and could buy one here.
The best option would obviously be the European model because it supports all 3 LTE bands from my carrier. The China version would at least support 2 out of 3 and the model for North America only 1 out of 3.
So I would like to avoid the model for North America.
And here starts my confusion. The sellers in Thailand sell the A3000 model but they don't know (and probably don't care) if it's the version for North America or the China version.
I could take a picture of the sticker of the back of the box. It would be great if someone with the North America model could compare the sticker to their sticker (do you also have most of it written in Chinese? Or does it looke completely differen or even the same?).
One seller told me that his model had HydrogenOS on it and he flashed OxygenOS, so that would be the China model I guess, but he was out of stock. The other seller (the one I could take the picture of) said that he bought it already with OxygenOS on it, and that is what makes me wonder if it could be the North America model.
Thank you so much for every hint!

Chinese and North American models are both A3000. I guess that's why in the official page of OP they name them by country/region.

Sorry if my english is not perfect.

Ok thanks , so I would like to know if the A3000 i posted in the picture is the China model or the one for North America.
And why the seller tells me that there already is OxygenOS on it (if it really is the chinese model).

I would say that is the Chinese version because of all the Chinese text and it also says A3000 TD-LTE. Only the Chinese version has TD LTE bands as seen at https://oneplus.net/uk/3/specs.
The Chinese version comes by default installed with Hydrogen OS instead of Oxygen OS but many Chinese exporters open the box and flash Oxygen OS so that is what he is telling you.

that's a great hint with TD LTE, thanks!

The european version say "ONEPLUS A3003" in the "about" section. I'll descript the label on my box tonight if you need to.

Thank you Le_Zouave but I think it's not neccessary. It says A3000 even in the about section. So it's either the China or North America model

You have the Chinese model... Great model

It was Chinese Model. Mine also exactly the same with yours.

All of the text on my NA model is in english and lists 2 IMEIs. Don't know why ur photo only list 1.

that IMEI thing is strange. I searched for more pictures here in Thailand (and will add some to this answer) but I couldn't find anywhere a second IMEI. There is an MEID printed on the back, but that is normally used in North America with CDMA phones.
I read on the oneplus forum that with the Oneplus 2 the chinese model has printed 2 IMEI but they were both the same number.
Has that something to do with dual active sims or standby sims?
It gets complicated

What's the best website (s) for US version China phones?

As the the title states, what's the best website (s) for US version China phones? I currently have the Elephone P8000 US version, but I was looking to upgrade. Sites like gearbest and banggood do a terrible job at distinctly listing their phones exact model numbers, and exact bands that the phones are compatible with. Usually the EU and US variants model numbers differ, so the last thing I would want to happen is waiting 2-4 weeks for shipping, and get the wrong version phone. Or is there a site like willmyphonework that have direct links to each variant phone with multiple sellers?

I found this website that compares Phone Frequencies. If anyone else can contribute other sites that for easily comparing china phones w/ US Mobile Freq that would be great!

I always use willmyphonework.net/

Question before I buy from this eBay listing

https://www.ebay.com/itm/223764502768
Can anyone double check and see if there's any issues with this listing? I'm in Canada, if that matters.
Just making sure it's the international version with global Rom, if either of those matter or if they can be fixed or changed by me.
Or any concerns? Just need a second opinion.

Just checked it out. It states it has global firmware. Oos 10.0.3 but doesnt state anywhere in the description the model of the phone. Judging from where it ships from Hong Kong i think its a chinese variant HD1900 with global firmware. Shouldnt be a hustle as this is the same setup i use in Africa unless you are looking for specific network bands

It's the Chinese version. The International version only has 128GB storage.
I would look elsewhere.

I'm not sure what's been sold where, but here's a complete list of 7T variants:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnePlus_7T#Variants
A phone sold as the "international version" is almost always an HD1900--that is, the Chinese version. The HD1900 has both Chinese and international ROM's available, and I think which one it comes with is a matter of where you buy it--but even if you buy the Chinese version, you can download and flash an international version of the ROM through the settings menu.
Ideally, in Canada, you want the HD1905, but it's no longer sold anywhere, and you're going to have a hard time finding it--I had to buy a used one. That being said, both the HD1900 and the HD1903 (the European variant) will work in North America. The lack of certain bands, especially on the 1900, may affect your coverage in specific situations, but I personally used an "international" version of the 3T in the U.S. (that was before they had a U.S. version) with no problems.
Note that the HD1907, while probably also suitable for your purposes, comes network-locked, and you'll have no way to unlock it unless you first activate it on T-mobile or a T-mobile MVNO--so avoid that one.

LG G8 Series Model Number Disambiguation

I was examining the LG G8 series and comparing models. I am having trouble identifying models of the series when references come from non-Official sources such as eBay, firmware download sites, and other places.
For example, LG provides the LG G8 Unlocked (USA) variant as having model "LMG820QM7" on its website (as can be seen https://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-lmg820qm7-unlocked-g8-thinq-gray ). When searching other sites, such as firmware download sites, I find a model numbers for what is supposedly the USA unlocked variant as "G820QM", "LM-G820QM", or "G820". It is rather unclear why there is a discrepancy. Are the different found actually for different devices? Is there an understood notation (by others) to represent model numbers differently for same devices?
My experience with other models other than the USA unlocked variant is similar. Please explain why there are these discrepancies.

I have found the solution to my inquiry after examining things myself. The greatest reason for the model number discrepancy appears to be laziness or incompetence. There are others, such as eBay sellers that handle devices in bulk that do not know the actual full model numbers and do not take the time to better determine them and for their convenience may fail to list the entire model numbers.

Sounds about right; it's just hard to know the exact model/variant being sold without the full info.

Something else that I forgot to post is that the firmware variant series indicator part of the model number, which s its last character but must be used together with the rest of the model number (the firmware series indicator value can be the same for different firmware series if they are for a different model or sub-model), is not something that is indicated on the actual hardware itself (though it is sometimes on the product packaging or a sticker on the product). So, someone that receives an item second-hand, such as an eBay buyer or bulk seller, might often not know the full assigned model number.
I am not sure whether the LG G8 full model number appears somewhere in the firmware/software; I do not yet have an LG G8 family device.

@armodons - I am curious. My understanding from reading another post somewhere is that you have the Brightpoint variant of the LG G8
LMG820QM. Do you know what its whole model number is (including the firmware variant series indicator)? Of so, would you please specifiy it?
My understanding is that, for various LG device series, the Brightpoint firmware variant series may or may not be the same as the North America Operators US Open Market firmware series for a given hardware device model.

On my LG G8 BPT variant it actually does not say anywhere in the software. In the About phone area within Settings, it simply lists LM-G820QM as the Model Number. I got this device secondhand and always thought I had the US Open variant until I tried to use LGUP and got a kdz mismatch error. Finally used an IMEI checker online to figure out that I had the Brightpoint variant.
It looks like under the model number LMG820QM, there are three variants--BPT, CCA, and USA, with USA being the actual US Open variant, though technically all 3 of these are part of the NAO (North American Operators) line of firmware but you cannot crossflash among them.

Please let me know what IMEI checker you used. IMEI.info used to be very good at providing this kind of information and other useful information, but at some point it stopped providing much of the information.

For LMG820QM there are actually more firmware variant series. For the CCA one ("COMPETITIVE CARRIES ASSOCIATION") you mentioned and as listed on firmware download sites, I am not familiar with the designation. There are also at least the Comcast (Xfinity Mobile) firmware variant series, as LMG820QM5; the Amazon.com firmware variant series, as LMG820QM8; and the Verizon LTE in Rural America (LRA) firmware variant series, as LMG820QMD.

Oh yes overall for all the LG G8's there area many variants! Sorry I cant remember which imei checker told me i had the BPT variant...
