Coming to UK or where to buy

Was waiting for Note 4 or Nexus 6 but the huawei ascend mate 7 looks amazing and really want one. Anyone know if it's coming to UK or where to buy it from a decent supplier?

Will let you know!

I saw that too. For £350 you can get a European model from amazon.fr
The price just dropped! Let me know if you have any issues with the Chinese handset. Good price.

That was not properly shipped. As of the situation in our store, we attach an invoice statement along with the shipment. For smartphones, DHL will clear the custom using the prepared statement and we hear no delay/VAT ever, except for one country that the custom stops every single EXPRESS shipment, per law of that country.
Just some hints for your future online purchase.

I just saw this phone and was taken by the design and size of the phone. Specs aren't quite note 4 or nexus 6 but sure looks better. I bought oppo find 7 but after few weeks was quite dissapointed due to touch issues poor ui and camera, I don't fancy making the same mistake.
I'm in the uk where is the best place to buy and will it work on ee 4g? It's very important for me to have 4g.
Thanks

I bought it from Amazon.de and using on 3. no problem with 4G connection.

I'm quite happy with it so far.(changed from xperia z2) especially fingerprint scanner. so handy.
no lag but I'm not that heavy user. yes it does have small green notification light.
It took 3 days once they shipped.

I am thinkingbof swapping my z2 for the AM7 also. Only thing holding me back is I am worried about camera?? How are you finding the video recording and stills inside and low light? I also created another thread for this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2933881
Would really appreciate your comments.

I received my Mate 7 yesterday - got shipped on Friday from HK so came very quickly.
I wasn't charged any tax at all as it was marked as 'gift' when shipped; which was very nice!
It is though the MT7-L09 model, so it doesn't support some of the 4G bands over here. Fortunately I'm switching networks soon, anyway, to one that is supported
I'm currently on O2 and the LTE doesn't work, but it works on EE reportedly.
Also as a point, the model number I have isn't listed on the Huawei bootloader unlock site so I'm currently awaiting more info to unlock and root my device

Nice. I purchased the 16gb European model from amazon.fr in the end £360ish. What phone did you come from and what are your initial impressions especially camera

I had a nexus 4 previously (bit old) so was a bit of a step up... much better screen and etc.
I've yet to play with the camera really, but it's supposedly better than the one I had before. Will have to have a play

Mate 9 Pro-> Available at all? in U.S.?

The Porsche Design is incredibly expensive. But they have announced a Mate 9 Pro, and is on their web site here. But no information on versions, or places to purchase.
Google search not turning anything up either.
Seems like this time of year would be good time to get this stuff out there and available.

It's only a limited release so far.
It's available in China, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Your only way of getting it would probably be to import a Chinese version. I've yet to see a Nordic shop ship internationally even though it would probably be preferable (albeit more expensive) to get one from a Nordic country.
Other than that, you can only cross your fingers and hope it sees a wider release. I'm guessing they're testing to see the reception of a curved amoled display for future devices.

Thanks

Sweden and most of the others appears to be pre order from 20th.
i've found a couple of shops in sweden that will ship to other countries when they do have stock...

If you find out where the Pro is available for purchase online, please post.

Yeah, a lot of people like me have interest on this Model.

Sure. Likewise, of course.

Misco in sweden will post overseas but they only taking pre orders and are not guaranteeing it'll be instock by 20th. They said telcos will get them first so maybe try them....

Yup. It sure is. Although it is not available from a supplier in the U.S.
One of my concerns about purchasing a phone that would not be from a vendor in the U.S. is support. Even if the support is 'good', timing for handling would be an issue, I presume. Maybe my concern is not valid...I don't know.
The other thing for me is if I purchase a phone (especially one in that price range) I want to be able to evaluate it for at least a couple weeks and return it if it's not for me for whatever reason. The Oneplus 3 has a 14 day policy, and the Axon 7 has 30 days.

I talked to Huawei customer support today inquiring about the Mate 9 Pro because I have been wanting to get one but was told that they do not recommend buying it from 3rd party vendors or sellers and there is no warranty for the international version of the phone if you use it in the U.S.
Well, that ended my hopes of getting an expensive unlocked phone. Might as well wait for the upcoming phones...

Some re-sellers offer warranty support.
I wouldn't worry about it... I've never had to use warranty service for any of my smartphones. I've been searching but can't find any places selling this phone in silver/gray at a decent price... most are $1,000+. I already got burned when I bought my international Mate 9 (lost $200 when I sold it after the unexpected U.S. release).

Very valid. I bought a Mate 9 Pro in the USA via a seller on ebay. The sellers post just said huawei has 12 month warranty. Which is true. Just incomplete
After i received the device, i could figure out:
Huawei does not seem to have global warranty support == you need to send in the device for any form of repairs to the country where it is originally from.
My device seems to be from Taiwan, but that is just conjecture by me because the packaging has a URL from Taiwan on it. Alas, the Taiwanese Huawei site is one of the few that does not have online warranty check and when i sent an email to them from the webpage to inquire about my warranty status, i never got a reply. Maybe they can not or do not want to talk english. Or deal with overseas sold units customers.
Aka: i guess i am pretty much out of luck wrt. warranty unless i learn chinese and jump into a plane to taipeh. Which could be fun . But i guessed something like that to be the situation before i bought the phone, so no big surprise.

i got my mate 9 pro from ebay too. and it's also from taiwan. it's the gray one and it's only $878 + intl express shipping. i think it's the cheapest gray mate 9 pro coz some sellers from aliexpress sells it for even more than $1000 coz it's very rare. and they are selling the chinese version too. mine's international, i got it after 5 days here in new zealand via dhl. didn't have pay any import dutiesas well. the seller only sold 4 of these and i was one of the luckiest to grab the sale. here's the link:

That is a great price! Gray does seem to cost a lot more because it's unavailable mostly... there's a AL00 (China) model open box on eBay, but I'm afraid of dealing with annoyances from buying a Chinese model.
I've just ordered the gold via Amazon Prime for $889. At least that way I actually CAN easily return the phone and get my money back if I don't like it... or if Huawei does a release in the U.S. soon I won't get screwed.

I think I might have seen the same listing on Amazon as you for the gold one. But I got my gold model m9pro for $773 with free shipping (no tax) on ebay. it was a great deal and have been loving the phone. I got the C636 build which I believe is the European version but could be wrong.

It is available through Amazon (all versions-Porsche, Pro, USA and International).

I just checked your link, Porsche was there, no Pro. One said it was a Pro, and I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the Pro is 6GB of memory, and the one listed said 4 GB.
A The only reason I would want a Pro is for 6GB of memory.

Pre-ordered Thread

Hey guys,
Just pre-ordered mine in the UK. Wondering who else has ordered and what specifically brought you to this phone?

I also pulled the trigger on an unlocked P20 Pro from Clove UK, only to quickly cancel my preorder. The issue for me is whether the unlocked UK variant will support T-Mobile's VOLTE in North America. Once I confirm this, I'll go ahead and buy the phone.

I want to - but I haven't seen the gradient color for PO anywhere. Have you all?

Is this dual sim you know, if yes I'm all over it.... Ta!

For UK guys and gals, I don't know that clove will get you the Bose headphones on pre order. I couldn't see it on the clove website anyway. I've ordered mine from Carphone Warehouse for that reason.
I couldn't see if it was duel aim or single SIM if I'm honest.
Edit: whilst it doesn't say if it's the duel SIM variant on Carphone Warehouse, it does say there is an SD card slot which I believe is only on the duel SIM variant as a hybrid duel SIM. Alternatively you could order from elsewhere and get the duel SIM variant?

Too bad Carphone doesn't ship to the US

Yeah I would have preferred the twilight version. It is available on the Huawei website but they are asking another £50 for it. Unless I could find it else where at £799 with the Bose headphones then I'm going to stick with black...

Do we know if the single SIM variant will have the ability for SD cards? If not, I guess the Carphone Warehouse site is incorrect.
It is showing that this phone is running on Android 8.0 rather than 8.1 so it's already got something else wrong...

I'm new to the Huawei scene, how are they will releasing kernel sources in a timely manner and are there many Devs of on previous Huawei devices (to get a feel of what development might be like). I guess treble will improve things as well in that area.

just pre-ordered (netherlands)
Was ready to pull the trigger on a mate 10 pro, but this came out. Why? I really want the monochrome camera, and this has _more camera_... Also - black. That blue/purple isn't available, otherwise I'd have ordered it.

As rav101 said I’m new to Huawei I’ve been with HTC seemingly since time began. A strong Dev community is a big plus sell for me.
I’d have dismissed the P20 Pro due to lack of headphone jack and looked at the Samsung S9 or wait to see what
One Plus 6 has to offer but the free Bose headphone’s for pre-orders cancels out my lack of jack phobia as they are the best wireless noise cancelling headphones around. Cetainly sweetens the deal.
I’m looking at pre-ordering via mobiles.co.uk as they seem to offer the best contract deals: 02 – 15GB, £38 a month and £49 for phone.
For those looking to pre-order, use on of these approved retailers for the free headphones!: https://huaweipromo.co.uk/gb/en/pages/p20bose/qualifying-retailers

Preordered mine via Mobiles.co.uk
Includes the headphones as well and works out less than RRP if cashbacks pay but also includes a 4GB/24 month contract with Vodafone. Total price at £750 including contract after cashback, £792 if it doesn't pay out.
£240 upfront and then £23 a month.

To clarify , none of the models have support for micro sd cards. None. Unfortunately, many website and retailers have incorrect info. You either buy a single Nano sim or dual nano sim version.
In the UK, you can pre order a dual sim version from Three UK. As far as I know , they nabbed an exclusive on this.

OnePlus 6 US Version Model Number?

Can anyone in the USA provide me with the Model Number of their OnePlus 6, need BOTH the 6GB/64GB and 8GB/128GB variants?
Looking to purchase the device, Unfortunately i must purchase it on Amazon and i want to make sure i get the right variant....
Thanks in advance!
*edit*
I found out ALL OnePlus6's have the same model number, no matter the variant, or color, or region..
*Edit*
So far i have found out there are (2) different models, A6000 and A6003. I can only assume there is a A6001 and A6002, most likely for other regions...

I decided to take the plunge and said FUKC mid-range devices, I'm getting a OnePlus6 in white to match my Panda Pixel 2 XL....Seriously, 8GB of RAM, things i wish the Pixel 3 XL has....

So I ordered the OnePlus 6 off Amazon, only because i had a $400 Amazon Credit. I ended up paying over $100 more and come to find out, this device was not sold by an Authorized Retailer. I asked OnePlus if i can purchase just the Damage Protection on a new device purchased from someone other then them directly. In the Subject Line it states (US WARRANTY). I asked if i would still be eligible for the Factory Warranty and NOPE!

I'm sorry that happened. Generally, to keep the warranty, you must either buy from op themselves or an authorized dealer. I would not be too concerned as there aren't many manufacturing defects reported. The odds of you needing to use the warranty are slim. I also must ask, are you using this in the u.s. or another country? If somewhere other than the u.s.a., make sure the bands the phone has are compatible with the network in your country.

Band 71 is the 600mhz they bought last year in the spectrum auction. It's for their signal to travel further from the towers and for the signal to penetrate buildings 2x stronger. Not for any real speed improvements and it's only in rural areas that have virtually no coverage for now. So it isn't even close to any real city and such.
What you will see and get a boost from is the glass back (increases radio reception) which people same is not point without wireless charging ROFL, and the new modem which is now 4x4MIMO and THAT will increase your speeds in the same area. For example, in my house, the best area for reception is my living room. Before selling my OnePlus 5 I did a Speed test and it was 48mbps down on my OP5 and my OP6 with the same sim and location pulled 135mbps 1 min later.

I'm on T-Mobile network (metro pcs) and can confirm it does on all these bands. What's more, due to the glass back and Snapdragon 845 soc, the reception is fantastic. Much akin to Motorola phones I've had in the past. Everyone knows Moto has the best reception in general for smartphones, but op6 is just as good if not better than any Moto I've had in the past. Even my wife's s9+ has issues when my op6 doesn't.

I'm sorry that happened. Generally, to keep the warranty, you must either buy from op themselves or an authorized dealer. I would not be too concerned as there aren't many manufacturing defects reported. The odds of you needing to use the warranty are slim. I also must ask, are you using this in the u.s. or another country? If somewhere other than the u.s.a., make sure the bands the phone has are compatible with the network in your country.

This is not true at all! I love my Silk White, but there are so many defect reports, it's not even funny. I've never seen this for a flagship phone before, except the Note 7.
Almost all reports come from Asia. So I guess their quality control is different for US and Europe. Keep that in mind.

So I ordered the OnePlus 6 off Amazon, only because i had a $400 Amazon Credit. I ended up paying over $100 more and come to find out, this device was not sold by an Authorized Retailer. I asked OnePlus if i can purchase just the Damage Protection on a new device purchased from someone other then them directly. In the Subject Line it states (US WARRANTY). I asked if i would still be eligible for the Factory Warranty and NOPE!
so dont believe everything you read....

That is on you and Amazon. Oneplus website sells these phones directly, and their prices are actually the msrp. Which is currently the lowest price, because the phones are so hot.

The only reason I spent the extra $100 buying through Amazon, because I had a $400 gift credit from returning a Moto G6 Plus, so I had to purchase it from Amazon.

Anyone receive their 512GB Micro SD Card from Samsung?

Did they ship it with the phone or separate?

You order it after you bought the phone.

To receive the card, you're supposed to open the Samsung Members app on your new phone and click the offer banner once it shows up (often takes up to three days). You should have been informed about this when you purchased your phone.

Do you have to buy from Samsung to get it?

What is the Samsung Members app?
I'm just wondering if anyone received it from Samsung yet?

I'm totally lost. Is this a new deal? Is it free? Can't seem to find an answer by Googling it.

Same here can't find any info on the offer

The offer could be for specific market area. For example, here the small print says "in effect in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark (Nordic Approved)". Each market area could have their own lures, depending on the market/sales situation, etc.
AFAIK, that "Samsung Members" app does about the same as "Samsung+" app (the latter is only for US). A good example about how a "global" company does not really understand what "global" means for customers.

This was a couple of weeks ago. Samsung was selling the 512GB card for $49.00 with the purchase of a new Note 9. A week later they were giving the 512GB card for free with the purchase of the Note 9.
I believe these deals are dead now. Seen a couple of people saying they receive a pack of 10 of the 512GB cards when they received their card from this promo.
Just wanted to hear from people that actually received the card from Samsung.

Over here the campaign continues to the end of the year. But, I can't give feedback on receiving a card, as I bought my phone one month before the campaign even started (tough luck for me).

The American one was a few weeks ago and I believe it's history now.
That one guy that says he received 10 of them from Samsung might be legit. I heard to same thing from another seller on eBay saying he also received 10 when he ordered the promo from Samsung with the phone.
I got one but had to pay through the nose for it.

I just wrote to guy at tweeter that is PR from Samsung about this promo in Poland, i would gladly buy 512 GB card just to spare memory of phone and for storage more loseless music but 512GB card is very expensive, as was phone So - fingers crossed for this action. Maybe with little bit of luck - here in Poland - i can also get one card for free?
//edit:
PR from Samsung told me at tweeter that he dont know at what prices and conditions phones was sold at Finland or Norway so he cant tell why in Poland there was no such promotion. So as far as i know this is just very polite way to say "fk you" to all customers who pay sht load amount of cash for their phone. I bought mine (512GB version) in promotion for about $1150 / 1k EUR and this is a lot. I dont know what what they are thinking but im really disappointed. Normally 512GB version now you can buy from Samsung store for 1 256 euro or $1 437. Well...

Typical normal customer prices have been around 1030€ (128GB) and 1300€ (512GB), with pretty much no normal/significant discount campaigns so far; most campaigns have been offering something additional instead of price reduction.
The conditions for getting that campaign are (out of memory) about having to be bought during the campaign, in Nordic countries (and probably also taken into use in those countries), create/have a Samsung account, using the Samsung Members app (i.e. one has to register that account on the phone, too), and can not be combined with other campaigns/discounts.
As I mentioned earlier, the campaigns are likely "market" specific (just like the prices and models are), and are made up and run by Samsung as they see fit in each area. E.g. if they had too much stock of NEE model, put up a nordic campaign for a month, problem solved. Or something like that.
