This site might be helpful for some of us trying to understand why Huawei is coming out with another model specifically compatible with the US market as the one they are currently selling is not:

Anyone know where I can pick up a Mi One? Also will it work in the uk?
Thanks
You will have to ship it over, a bit of Googling does magic:
http://www.xiaomi.com/ (if you can read Chinese)
Specifications list this:
- GSM / WCDMA bands GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Should work fine in the UK I guess.
Yea saw that but thought that was just for if ur in china? it says out of stock on there anyway.
I read an article saying that it would be made properly available on December 18th, for anyone to buy. The article did not say where to buy it from though.
After some more googling i found it here: http://android-sale.com/review/product/list/id/179/
Says out of stock here too but at least its an english site.
Was wondering if anyone knew if this was a legit site? has anyone bought a phone off there before?
Also anyone got any idea why it is so cheap? the specs are probably one of the best around right now.
The phone is sold at almost cost price. It is a policy of Xiaomi not to make profit through hardware. You can only get it from Xiaomi direct, China Unicom or shortly a CDMA version from China Telecom. All other 'suppliers' get it from these sources or it is a knockoff. The Xiaomi site is currently sold out until March. It works just fine in the UK
It seems like you can buy the xiaomi m1 only if you are in china for the little i could understand of their Chinese webpage. Is there anyone here that have actually bought the phone? I would like to have a xda review of these devices.
Try asking 'mlee1999' (his username here). Mike has one available, located in the United States.
You can find one of his threads in the Marketplace.
I have a mi-one, I am in china, where are you in UK, i mean in which city. my company was settled in peterborough near london.
maybe i can ask someone to send you my phone.
Am about to take the plunge and join the Galaxy Note 10.1 family.
I have a choice of buying this in the UK or the US.
However I will only be able to connect the device to the internet to receive updates in the UK or in Sri Lanka (!).
If I buy a US model will I be able to connect to the internet and receive official Samsung updates in the UK or another country?
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this matter for me.
(The US model I'm thinking of is from Negri Electronics: black 3g model with SKU SMGGALNOT16UB)
I think the way updates work are every model number has a country code built in and when checking for update the same information is sent and hence it connects to the server of that particular country so irrespect of with country you are in you will only receive update for country of orgin
Thanks Samir,
Guess I could get either one then. Any idea if the UK or US market is likely to get updates sooner?
Also, does anyone know if the black 3G unit is officially available in the US? I'm wondering if Negri is selling some international unit.
Plus, OT, but any idea if a 32GB 3G model is available anywhere?
I think US is the last one to get updates but its not that far away from others, No officially 3G version is not available in US sorry I am not from US but my opinion is based on user feedback given in this forum.
As far as 32GB version I have no clue to be frank
JB hifi in Australia sells the 3g 32gb model though I don't know if they post overseas... It's about $800AUD, not sure about postage...
So the OnePLUS One is available on Oppo mart but has anyone purchased it through this method? I am very curious as to how legit it is and whether the experience was good. Thanks for any advice.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770622 it is a pre-existing thread with a lot of pages in regards to what you're asking about.
Be wary though, I'm pretty sure that the Chinese OPO (which is what Oppomart is selling) is not compatible with LTE on carriers that use LTE bands 4 and 17.
You will need to buy the International version (Says Cyanogen on the back of the phone) in order to have those bands.
I have a opo from oppo mart. In the us I get hspa+ on tnobile but no lte. Its not that bad I like it. Feeds my needs with no problem.
I'm trying to figure out if an S5 bought in India would work here in the US on sprint. Family over in India sent one over and didn't consider the potential band/frequency issues. It hasn't arrived yet but I am hesitant to use it considering Samsung's region lock etc. Anyone have any experience? Can it be rooted / flashed and work ok on sprint?
I searched around on the forum seeking an answer and I didn't find anything specifically explaining yea or nay. Closest I got was :

Thanx
Hey guys !
I was considering to order the phone directly from Europe or China but the bands are not compatible for the 4G
It looks like to have correct 4G in Canada, we also need the US version of the phone ... only sold for now on the Honor store, that only delivers in the US...
I dunno if Amazon.com will sell it at some point, so I was looking for another solution.
Do you know another store that sell US version of the view 10?
Thanks
