Hi Guys
Just waiting for my new Mate 9 to be delivered from Clove. I've realised that it comes with a Euro 2 pin plug. Does anyone know where I can buy a *UK* three pin plug from - are they 'different' from others given that it's going to need to be a supercharge type?
Cheers
Steve
Aren't there any adapters? So you can change the 2 pin to the Uk standard?

Yeah just use a good quality EU to UK adapter. A fused one preferably.

Order one from Hong Kong. They use the three pin, at least that's what I got in my international version from Hong Kong.

Cheers Giverna. That's what I'm going to do in the short term. Just makes the whole charger thing a bit bulky though.

I haven't got any links to the plug alone, I ordered my Mate 9 from Wonda Mobile, they may have some. If not try Aliexpress. They can't be too hard to come by.
Wonda didn't have any, so off to look round aliexpress. Thanks for the suggestions! ??
Update: Nor aliexpress
Perhaps just wait it out, the phone went on sale with 3 on Friday here so you'd imagine accessories etc will be quick to follow.
You're right CB. Patience isn't my strongest suit! ??
Its the same charger as the Porsche Design (available in the UK) / Pro.

YEY so today i just bought my brand new 4G note 3 and it is unlocked, i had to pay an extra 200 riyals for it but its ok im not worried of bringing it outside the middle east now.
now i read some of the threads here mentioning about the speakers, but comparing it wth the note 2 side by side i didnt notice any dfference at all! both were (embarrassingly lol) LOUD but i think note 3 is slightly louder. or maybe i was preparing myself for an awful speaker but i was surprised at how loud it was.
the only two things i noticed it paled to the note 2 was the difficulty in detaching the s-pen and i think the note 2 was more solid built than the note 3, but the rest the note 3 just is unmatched, happy owner so far :good::good:
but sadly until now no gear here in saudi arabia i fear it will never come....

I have both and loudness is the same. The N3's speaker produces thinner sound with less detail. Personally, since I rarely use the external speaker, I could care less.
GSMArena's testing...
speaker is more than good enough, stop worrying about the nitpicking you read online, some of these people will complain about anything.

Yes sir as mentioned by another member, I think Tunisia is in the same region as KSA (i.e Middle East). Thanks for the info though. Keep us updated if you use your phone outside anywhere else like Asia or Europe.

I think the N3 sold in Malaysia, Hong Kong etc. is the 16 GB SM-N9005 Snapdragon model.
I have been using Note 2 and it was average but note 3's sound, sound quality and speakers are not satisfying for me.
so looking online I seem to only find the Chinese version and the L29 I think it is, which is limited to 3 gb only. where can I purchase the other L version that has 4 gb ram and 64gb internal? Selling my note 5 to get this bad boy. can't wait!!
thanks
afaik there are no 4gb international versions... also, there arent any hardware differences between the AL10 and L29 phones aside from the differing support for a few LTE bands. and by a few were talking about like 1-3 here, so nothing to write home about....the rest of the hardware is absolutely identical, u can even crossflash the firmwares, sooo....why not just get the AL10 and call it a day?

hm unclear which version the second link offers, but the first looks like the L29, not sure though since they mixed up LTE and UMTS bands.
in any case, i did say there was a very slight difference in supported LTE bands, but thats it. everything else is 100% the same, so nothing to make a fuss about if u ask me

I just want the versions that comes pre installed with Google play. I don't want to have to root and flash the international version. it looks like there is a 4gb ram and 64gb international version. now I just need to figure out if it has AT&T bands.
thabks guys

except one is a Chinese version no Google play and the others are not.
i was talking about the hardware
sure, not everyone likes to play around with software, i understand that. but seeing as roms are interchangeable between the chinese and international model, there is really no fixed hardware-based difference between the two thats what i meant
NXT-L29 with 64gb/4gb ram hasn't been released yet, only 32 in silver and grey is available in few countries. 64/4 in gold and mocha (NXT-L29) will be released next month in EU
interesting info! where did u get that from?
My Chinese handset 64gb version came with Google play installed. You can download it from the huawei store that comes installed as well....

Does anyone know where you can even get the 3/32gb international version (NXT-L29)? For the last few days vmall has just kept saying it will be available in 2 days?

I'm in Ireland so it will probably never be in shops here. I will need to buy online. Do you have the international version, if so where did you get it?

I'm looking to buy mate 9 to use in the UK.
Please share your thoughts on the phone especially those within the uk.
I'm interested in knowing if it would work on all UK 4g networks.
If camera is any good ompared to iPhone 7 S7 etc.
If there were any concerns with the phone.
I've read it does have touch screen issues which is worrying.
I just need help deciding if this phone is worth getting or not.
Not sure where to purchase in the UK, but you can purchase the international version (model #MHA-L29) from several retailers online. I purchased it from Wonda Mobile and had it shipped to the US. They pay any import taxes etc. too, and warranty it for 1 year. Make sure the model number is MHA-L29, not MHA-AL00 (Chinese version without 'true' Google Services integration).
How much did you pay?

Yes i am, I have the Mate 9, working great, I did an unboxing video on my YouTube channel. I have bought 15 phone's over the last 6 months from wonda mobile and no issues. My channel name is Tech Zilla
I've owned the phone for three weeks, never heard of any touch issues, and never had any. It's working better than any phone I've owned. The EMUI 5 is now my favorite UI.
Congrats all! This is a top of the line device!

The difference is only with the pre installed applications,all the international phones use the same bands for network,maybe only chinese cust use different one more or less band.
As far as i remember that mate 9 should work in US without any problems.

For the second question, I always look for that kind of answers on this site: http://willmyphonework.net/ and it seems it has some of the LTE bands used by AT&T

Less bands on the China variant no 66 and 71 if you plan to use it with T-mobile. Probably better on AT&T if someone else can confirm. T mobile will probably work fine for the most part with a few dead spots
Indeed, make sure you buy a version that fits your carriers' bands.
Verify the seller first before buying that Product. Do look at the reviews also!!!
I bought 4 oneplus devices ( 1, 3t, 6, 7t) from Ali. No issues! Good prices
if you can find someone help you register a local Taobao account, that would be even better. You can get much better price, though shipping could be a problem. Ali can help you buy a lot of different products. I also bought part for laptops just for repair and refurbish.

It should be the same exact modem I would assume? So it would simply be software on said modem that would unlock the bands. You can flash the Tmobile modem to the international build and vice versa so I don't see why you couldn't here... There aren't any RSA checks like in other phones, like LG and Sammy.
If there ARE hardware differences, then it wouldn't work but I don't think there are any.
Can someone more knowledgeable help us out here?
