Starting to see screen protectors and cases show up on Amazon...
I have an X1 and X2, I really love these phones, the 7 inch screen is the perfect screen size for me. It fits in my jeans pocket and it's big enough that I don't need a tablet.
If I had a wish list it would be...
1. US LTE on AT&T compatibility (Though HSPA+ is really plenty fast enough)
2. 4GB ram (And Huawei needs to stop messing with the memory manager killing apps, just let android do its work)
3. Faster CPU/GPU/Ram
4. Higher screen resolution?, I don't really mind the 1920x1200, i'm guessing it saves battery too.
I Found this here
http://www.ainol-novo.com/huawei-mediapad-x3-phablet.html
http://www.gizok.com/huawei-honor-x3.html
but I do not know if that's true
not true. no believable news yet for x3
You're better off keeping your X2 if the X3 has those specs. The Mediapad M2 7.0 PLE-702L has LTE support in the US. It doesn't have band 12 for T-Mobile though but it's better than the X2 and may end up getting Cyanogenmod. Instead of naming it the X3 they named it the M2 7.0. It's the same as the X3 would have been.
No news info about X3
So sad.... love it
Case sale on Amazon !
I saw this
https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&sour...sXobcs89Ri65ctSsg&sig2=3NRAfpq5Z7YUDfAVn9udBw
A cover case for mediapad x3 !
Perhaps the x3 is coming ! I contact the seller to have informations. I'm waiting his answer.
Look for this in that page "Date first available at Amazon.fr February 17, 2016"
It might be a mistake.
Here is Huawei's successor to the X2.

Hey,
Just saw this post. Can you elaborate a bit? You say it supports LTE in the US but that it doesn't have the T mobile band 12. I am using T mobile in Central Jersey. Does this phone have any of the band I would need to get 4G LTE on T Mobile? Had to bag on my X2 because of the signal. I was getting mostly 2G.
Thanks for any info.

It will indeed work on T-Mobile thanks to band 41 support. Don't expect great reception or speeds with a single band, especially outside of urban areas, but it's supported.

is this going to be available in the US and if so, does anyone know about carriers who will support/have it? I know, it was just announced last week, just curious if the rumor mill has been active yet?
thanks in advance.
**UPDATE**
Just emailed Huawei on their site and this is what they posted back:
From Sanjay Srikonda at 9/25/14 5:13 PM
What is the availability of the US-compatible version and pricing? Meaning when will the US-compatible version be available?

Yes, Huawei Ascend Mate7 will be released in USA, You can buy Mate7 in USA local.

I don't think this will be available in USA. But may if you buy it as an International phone for some $600+ this might work on AT&T. I need advice on the LTE data bands. I saw somewhere AT&T uses band 17 (700MHz) for LTE which I don't see in this phone. Not sure. But somewhere I have gut feeling this works with AT&T 100% right out of the box. Voice works for sure but data is what I doubt. I get 30Mbps download and 12 Mbps upload on my AT&T LG G2 here in Dallas Texas. Some times I get even more up to 50 Mbps download. Can Mate 7 (International) do the same?
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

This may be a "duh" question, but if it supports AT&T's network does that mean it will support T-Mobile's network as well? As both are GSM?

Yes Voice works for sure. But LTE bands not sure. T-mobile has AWS 12, 4, and 2 bands for LTE. My knowledge is limited only to so much. I don't see band 12 in the phones compatibility list. So can't tell if 4 and 2 are good enough.
Same goes for AT&T LTE bands (2,4, and 17). I don't see band 17 in the phones compatibility list. So can't tell if 4 and 2 are good enough for LTE. I too need an expert advice on this.
But the attached article above about Mate 2 in USA suggests the phone working with AT&T and T-mobile LTE bands. If Mate 2 can do it Mate 7 can do it too.

T-Mobile mostly use the 1700 (4) and 1900 (2) for 4G if I remember correctly. I don't think that the 700 (12) is up and running yet. I guess we'll have to wait until someone actually gets their hands on one and tries it for any real confirmation. But I have a strong suspicion that the AM7 will work on T-Mobile's network without any issue.
Huawei specifically released the Mate 2 in the US and included the bands for the US. So, don't assume unless it specifically lists the correct bands. Without full band support, I would not buy.

Agreed. I did read that they created GetHuawie.com specifically to sell the mate 2 to US customers. If they wanted to expand to the US with the Mate 2, I am "hoping" that it is a no-brainer that they will quickly do the same with the Mate 7 since that will surely be much more of a hit. I want one...

Think about it this way, the longer we wait, the more issues will be surfaced in the initial release of this device. The wait shouldn't be too long, but the bootloader might become unlocked, a few ROMs get made for this, I see only positives in waiting for a US-compatible version.
The price may even go down because by then there will be more on the market by then.

Edit: I checked what the package includes and the following was in the list > 4G:FDD-LTE:B1(2100MHz)/B3(1800MHz),TDD-LTE:B41(2555-2575MHz)
It supports FDD which is in use in the US and Canada but not the bands we use
Hey, no big deal. One thing the Mate2 did, at least for me, is made me realize, you don't need a super duper pixel screen and a screaming
processor to be a fast device. I came from a Note1, unlocked to the Mate2 and was blown away how good it actually is.
Clear bright screen, fast, responsive, no issues, even on JB4.3. I'm not a pixel peeper or one that tries to squeeze every drop of performance to make my benchmark scores look good. If it is stable and runs, it's good enough for me.
Unless the Mate7 has a similar price point to the Mate2 (which I doubt), I'll stick with the Mate2, even if the software doesn't get updated to 4.4
Heck, I left my note1 on 4.1.2 because it was STABLE.
right now for me it's either between the mate 7 and the new nexus that may or may not be coming out. Honestly while i slightly favor the Nexus line, i had a mate 2 for a while and was very satisfied with it especially the battery life. For me it's all about price, if there will be a release for the U.S and the price is right i'll wait for the mate 7 but if there is no info by the time the Nexus is said to come out then i might get that. Lost my mate 2 so i'm using burner phones at the moment. Saving my money for either or, i want the mate 7 more than the nexus but i'm almost sure that the mate 7 will cost more than it's predecessor.

Great Huawei! You have swapped once again power and volume. Why? To annoy the few fans left?
And, if you move the micro usb, move it towards the middle and not the edge.
Active dual LTE SIM: that's nice!

"Preise und Verfügbarkeit
Das HUAWEI MediaPad X2 LTE ist in der zweiten Jahreshälfte in Deutschland zu einer UVP von EUR 349,- in der Standardversion verfügbar. Die Advanced Version mit mehr Speicher gibt es zur einer UVP von EUR 399,-."
Translation is availability in the second half of the year. RRP of €349,00 for the 2GB/16GB version and €399,00 for the 3GB/32GB version, both presumably including 19% VAT.
The prices are good but to have to wait another 3 or 4 months is not!

I want to buy Mix3 in online chinese markets as soon as it's available, I don't want to wait January when it will be available in Italy.

i have a friend in China for a couple of weeks. wanting him to buy there and bring back to USA for T-Mobile use. Can i get a global version or flash a global ROM to a Chinese version phone. I would assume an unlocked phone from a store there could work just fine. That is my hope.

You need to make sure that he is grabbing the right model for Tmo bands. Then it will work. No global rom as of yet, so you are stuck on the CN rom for a bit (a la no Google out of the box)

thanks. that makes me kinda want to wait. If looking at the GSMArena specs, its got most of T-Mobiles bands...but If sometime later there may be a UK/Global model maybe its best not to grab one from China quite yet. But that is a gamble weather it would even support those 2 missing T-Mobile bands anyways, but at least there would be a better ROM for it.
Ya, I want the phone for the L1 + L5 GPS GNSS but it lacks Band 71. Google always tries to copy Apple too much and cannot put GNSS bands into their pixel 3. You would have thought they would have done that (besides I hate the stupid chin-pull out speakers would be awesone though). What I can tell the 256GB has B66 while the 128GB lacks B66. If anyone would confirm that?? Sounds like GNSS phones are MIA except by China.

If it's for Colombia, the phone needs to be FCC-certified, otherwise you won't be able to get it approved for use in the country.
In case of Redmi Note 7, it has already been certified: https://fccid.io/2AFZZ-RMSF7G https://fccid.io/2AFZZ-RMSF7H
Redmi Note 7 Pro is not FCC-certified yet. If it actually gets certified, I'd assume it would happen not long after the global version launch, which would probably happen next month since the China launch is only happening next week.
I'm subscribing to this thread. Looking for availability to UK
It has been released today in China. It will go on sale on March 22nd; that means it will be available on Aliexpress very soon. But i doubt it will have B20
Which device do I buy?
I have a question ... I buy the PocoPhone F1 or I wait for this Redmi Note 7 Pro in my country ???
Note: I am not interested in the camera, only the performance and autonomy. I do not know if the SD 675 is more powerful than the SD 845 since it is more recent. Thanks!!!

If performance and autonomy is most important for you, go for Pocophone. The price difference between the 2 is not really noticeable but performance is. F1 is much more powerful than RN7pro :good:

Hmmmm.... i was talking about the bands listed online, my phone it's still on its way.
But if the chinese version have band 20 activated, it will be a huge boom for Redmi and no need to release a global version, because, from what i saw online, ppl was waiting for global versions mostly for band 20
Anyone knows if the global version is going to have NFC? If it doesn’t, that would be a dealbreaker for me.

No Redmi Note has NFC.
I was surprised how well this phone is supported on XDA and it looks quite good on paper, i have 1 question i cannot find answer to:
Does this phone support Carrier Aggregation in Europe? (4G+)
It you buy EU version then yes. If you buy India, China (RMQ) or any other version than EU then definitely not. So I heard.

Nice. But in my country mi 9 lite 6gb and realme xt 8gb are similarly priced. If I decides to increase my budget then I will go for realme xt. Sd712 over sd710.
According to realme support no it doesn't.
Also I'm based in Italy and can confirm you there is no sign of 4g+ even though I live near a Tri-Band bts (3-7-20) and my place is full of two and three bands bts.
Considering to return the phone for exactly this reason. My old op3t had full 4g+ in the same position

I still can't believe eu version doesn't support 4g+. I mean did you check sites if they show whether or not this device supports it or not? I mean I definitely did before buying but I only see which bands does the device support. Not the technology (3g and 4g is present but I don't see 4g+). If you didn't check for it then why did you buy? If you did check but it was written to be present but it is not, shouldn't you get s full refund or device return + refund??

I can't believe it either, it was a BIG surprise to see it lacks it. In 2019, ANY and i mean ANY device you buy got a form of CA, even a Huawei MTK I just bought for dad for 99 euros. Of course this is also specified, for example as you can see there is mention for LTE-A (which is LTE+)
https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_5_pro-9801.php
I couldn't believe it so I sent an email to Realme customer service asking if the phone indeed supported LTE-A like specified and like supported by its chipset (snapdragon 712 is a 3*20mhz capable chipset) and they replied "realme 5 pro doesn't support LTE+"
Then, after more than TEN days, they replied again to the same email by saying that they were sorry for the previous reply and that the phone DOES support LTE+ (is this a professional service?)
I asked them how I can check which bands gets aggregated and why there is no sign of a 4g+ or lte+ icons like all other phones and... they never replied
I've read around that Realme support is a total crap, but I really tried and hoped they can answer about specs of a phone they produce and sell directly.
To dig further another guy here on xda sent some network guru screenshots where it is clearly shown that it only can catch a single band and not multiple.
So at this point I'm thinking about it. I've got until 31/01/2020 to be able to get a full refund but kinda I still like the phone speed, but this network problem and the camera (which is the worst 48Mpixel sensor I've ever tried, but it seems to be a software issue) kills my willingness to keep it. I was also waiting if any new update can fix either of the problems so I guess I'll wait a lil more, but still I can't advice to buy this phone. Xiaomi on the same price level doesn't have any of these major issues even though their chipsets are a little behind.

Wow... Just wow. All these bits and pieces of info are priceless and shocking to me. Thank you. Me too, I prefer the speed of the phone, the battery and ufs file storage, furthermore vooc charging. Amazingly conformable for my hand as well. Overall I'm really in love with it but kind of hate it at the same tine. My major problems are camera and connectivity. Both are extremely crucial when you take a look at a smartphone. Btw even oneplus uses the same sensor as our device. A developer of rm5p guessed that perhaps the difference is using different lens, not the sensors. I'm not sure. Anyway, we know more now at least. It's a start.

They are not similarly priced at all, mi 9 lite was on sale for 45,000 which is much cheaper than xt 54,000, sd712 vs sd710 very slight difference but 9 lite has its own advantages such as better selfie cam.
If you are looking to buy mi 9 lite box pack you can contact me, I can get you a good deal.
