Dear Cathain,
please refer answers to your questions below:
1. Yes, it supports. The latest firmware is SP03, which improves the system stability and power usage; with newer firmware released in the future, the phone will support more features hopefully.
2. grippy, with or without the leather case, the same.
3. It is blue, on the top right side （tiny one）. For MT7-TL10 model, HUAWEI exclusively provides a nice leather holster (function similar to Samsung Note series); however, in real life use, the holster just covers the led notification area.
4. That's a good question. For MT7-TL10 model, it charges in full within 2.5 hours; when you use it in USA or other countries that have lower voltage, the charging time could be as long as 5 hours. The battery (turn wifi, 2 sim cards, web, webchat etc. on) can last around 30 hours daily use. Excellent battery life.
If you have follow up questions, please let us know.
1. Huawei has stated this current version is NOT compatible with the US T-Mobile network. When will the US-compatible version be available?
2. What is the expected pricing for the 3Gb 32Gb ROM version?
3. What are your shipping methods for this device?
Do you know of anyone running the versions of the phone you sell on T-mobile LTE. We are trying to figure out if they have bands 2 and 4 2100 and 1700 needed stateside for LTE

Dear Sanjsrik and nvygw171,
Please ref answers below:
1. We are not allowed to post pic link in this site. However, if you search my listing on ebxx, you find pictures. With respect to your question, unfortunately, the MT7-TL10 CURRENTLY does not support T-mobile LTE, which uses LET FDD Brand 4. One of our sales representatives are using this phone in the USA now, and 3G signal is shown in the phone from T-Mobile, but as long as you turn on the data plan, you cannot receive/make phone call AND cannot receive any data. Simply, the phone only supports GSM at the moment. However, the brands are technically unlock-able, so I am positive that the MT7-TL10 can be used in the USA for LTE data. One of your sales is contact HUAWEI USA, in hope for an solution for this important issue.
Our store in China is partnering with HUAWEI. As far as the release date of international version, we have no such information. An information is that, even the MT7-TL10 model is limited; with our exclusive partnership, our store
is able to get continuous supply.
2. the 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM version will be sold at 599 Euro in Europe. The price in USA is not known yet. However, it will NOT be cheaper than the Chinese version, per HUAWEI said.
3. We ship FEDEX/DHL. To States, we will ship via FEDEX overnight.
4. NO, MT7-TL10 does not compatible with T-Mobile LTE now. Please check the photos in our listing.
If you have follow-up questions, please let us know. Thanks your interests.

An additional information, we are able to root this device now. We even have customized, simplified rom for MT7-TL10. Rooted MT7-TL10 can still upgrade to the latest room version in the future, either by flashing back to the original rom or via SD card method.
1. Not sure what your listing is, I'm assuming in eBay? Not sure if you mean that once the international version is available, you WILL or WON'T have a continuous supply?
2. What method of payment do you accept?
3. You can actually write out the site name is it getmobilephone on eBay?

Dear sanjsrik,
This thread is supposed to answer any questions related to this phone. If you have any doubts, we are glad to answer them to help you to make an informed decision.
1. HUAWEI is aiming at occupying Samsung's market in China. Therefore, even as an exclusive partner, we have limited supply of this phone AND we are not allowed to sell under MSRP (which is very unusual). This phone is out-of-stock in most mobile phone stores in china. We have no clue when the Europe and USA version will be released. However, I predict, HUAWEI will have to satisfy the home market first before they sell it to overseas. This is my best prediction.
2. We have an Aliexpress store to be opened and an reputable Ebay account to sell. Yes, getmobilephone is the ebay account name. (Moderator, if you think it is not appropriate to put this information here, pls feel free to remove this).
Once again, if you have any questions, please let us know. Thanks your interests.

Wasn't questioning your efficacy or forthrightness as a store. I was asking what the store name was on ebay or as you pointed out, aliexpress. Hadn't heard of it before.
So, according to your answers
* you're not sure when the international (in other words, US-compatible) version of the device will be available, but it will be eventually and only after the Chinese market has been supplied?
* you're not sure what the price will be (wasn't asking what your MSRP policies were with Huawei), but I"m assuming it's going to be $600+ for the 3Gb/32Gb version?
Is there a way to find out when the international (US-compatible version) will be available?
Thank you

Yes, we have no such information available. We predict that they have to fulfill the Chinese market first. Due to some political circumstances, we even predict the USA version will be released after the European version. Again, this is our prediction, NOT official answer from HUAWEI.
you're not sure what the price will be (wasn't asking what your MSRP policies were with Huawei), but I"m assuming it's going to be $600+ for the 3Gb/32Gb version?
The MT7-L09 (2/16 version) will be sold at 599 Euro in Europe. The price in USA is not known, but I predict the MSRP in USA might turn out to be what you indicate.
We have information that, there will be an international MT7-TL10 (similar to China MT7-TL10, without the TDD-LTE 38/39/40/41 bands) version available.. If you write to our sales through our ebay store, providing your email address, we are glad to provide you a photo showing the 9 different versions of Mate 7 worldwide.
Is there a way to find out when the international (US-compatible version) will be available?
Only HUAWEI knows.
Thanks your interests.

Some are reporting that the Mate7 is compatible with T-Mobile LTE in the USA. Is this limited to the 2/16 model? Maybe there isn't enough room for extra memory plus support for extra LTE bands on the 3/32?

Dear JZCHEN,
That might be MT7-L09 version. Currently MT7-TL10 (China version) does not support FDD-LTE 4, therefore, until the international rom is released and flashed, the phone cannot connect to T-Mobile LTE network in the USA. This is confirmed by one of our sales.
Thanks your interests.

I have a question about root. You said you already obtained root on the mate 7. What is Huawei's point of view on rooting their phones? If I can't root the phone once it's released here in Europe I won't be interested.
I like to tinker with my phones .
Thanks in advance
and now, i am confused
the 32GB 3Gb Gold Version MT7-TL10 (3/32) will work in EUROPE?

Dear Sammath,
Huawei's POV? Aren't all manufactures against root?
Our technician is more than happy to root the device for you for free (if you purchase from us, and we have customized rom for our customers, throughout the life of the Mate 7) or at a small fee. The root has to be operated with Chinese software currently; in the future, you may root the device yourself once there will be english software for such purpose.
Thanks your interests.

Dear bogdan-wrc,
There will be two MT7-TL10 (3/32) versions:
1. one is for Chinese market which is available now, featuring FDD-LTE 1/3/7, TDD-LTE 38/39/40/41.
2. one for International market which has no release date yet, featuring FDD-LTE 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28(Aphase), TDD-LTE 40.
Our prediction is that, once the international MT7-TL10 version is released, the Chinese MT7-TL10 version can flash the international version's rom, and the phone will supports FDD-LTE 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28(Aphase). Technically, they shall/might share the exact same hardware but just lock certain bands at each market.
The international MT7-TL10 will be sold at 599 Euro in European countries. The Chinese MT7-TL10 is available in our store, ready for shipping via FEDEX/DHL Express.
If you have follow up questions, please post it here.
Thanks your interests.
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

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

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?
whats your country of residence? id suggest to just check local electronic stores, they should have the mate 8 in stock by now or the usual places like amazon, ebay, etc.

i got the AL10 chinese version through aliexpress
After reading the below report from Gsmarena, I did a quick search on the internet and found an online store (to2c) in China selling international version with 6/128 with all four colors. It's been available for a few days now. I ordered the black version and it should arrive by the end of this week. Apparently, since it's not Chinese and the model is MHA-L29, it should have the original international ROM. I will update you when I receive it.

Is it really?
At my info, it is possible to install mha-l29 rom onto Chinese models AL00, which are different colors and with extended combinations ram/rom.
Probably, this Chinese shop to2c do this trick. But it does not have model L29 with 6gb ram and 128gb rom. Need information from box.

At this link in 'Product Information' in 'Item Model Number' is MHA-AL00
So it can not be international model.
Additionally, sales are not in official Amazon-shop.

You are right. I just cancelled my order. They confirmed that the model number on the box is not MHA-L29, it is MHA-AL00 which is the Chinese version. They are installing the international ROMs on the Chinese versions and selling them as international variants.
That sucks. I will wait couple of more months and hopefully Huawei will decide to provide the International 6/128 variant.

Thanks, but I am looking for the regular Mate 9 international variant 6/128 and not the pro version.
I got my L29 from Wonda too (Excellent service from them )
It definately won't take an Ext SD card (I was mislead by the internet on this!), it just has 2 nano sim slots.
This phone however is fantastic - working on EE here in London.
Only problem I am having is some calls go straight to voicemail and don't ring the phone - it seems it might be numbers that are not in my contact list that are affected.
If anybody has this problem I would love to find the solution
I thought all the dual-sim models could take a microSD card. Is your sim tray different than the ones that can accept a microSD?
hi i'm still running an M8 but the U11 looks like finally the phone that will trigger me to upgrade. I'm confused about how the US versions will be getting 4GB RAM 64GB storage, while the international versions will get 6GB RAM 128GB storage.
Anyone know if it's possible to get the international version to work on US Carrier? I'm on AT&T.
Thanks
excited to see how the edge sensitivity stuff works out

Wrong information mate. All countries will get the same 4GB RAM/64GB internal configuration. Only difference are Taiwan and China were HTC will ship an 6GB RAM/128GB internal version as well. If your not running dual SIM the 64GB variant would suffice I think. But if you really want the larger storage you'd have to import it. Don't know if all US bands are present on this asian versions and if it'll run on AT&T though.

Gotcha. Well thanks for the info. I won't need dual SIM and use an SD card so I was really just interested in getting 25% more RAM if it wasn't hard to get an international version.

Not necessary to have those extra juice. Didn't make a lot in terms of performance on such a phone. Especially as long as it is driven by such an SoC and very well done software optimization.

should be fine with sd835 and 4 gb
Watch out for the dual sim variants. They don't have all the US bands.
I was kinda bummed about this too, but at least we have an SD card slot and HTC doesn't bloat the hell out of their phones with crap like "Touchwiz" so I think it wouldn't make much difference.

Wait, but there's five MIDs, two of which are dual-SIM. So how can "all countries be getting the same 4/64 config"?

Yeah I know bit MID isn't directly tied to storage options. And as far as I know EMEA and US and others are getting 4GB/64GB, while Aisa is the only region getting 6GB/128GB.

You'd have to import one from China / Taiwan / Europe / Middle East or buy a gray market device on Ebay, etc.

Hello, it's pretty simple in this case.
512 GB version is available internationally, is single-SIM, has fully working VoLTE and VoWi-Fi, has firmware named PCH and its global ROM is vastly superior to the Chinese one (less bloatware, very little restrictions about customization).
256 GB version is available only in China, is dual-SIM, has neither VoLTE nor VoWi-Fi, has firmware named PDEM and its Chinese ROM has some bloatware and more importantly unpleasant and incovenient restrictions for the user.
Hope that helps
More advanced answer:
Currently there's a battle on two fronts:
users try to flash the much more user-friendly Global ROM on the Chinese device but without success so far; it seems that an unlocked booloader might be required which is still a long way to go
users try to make the Global model work as dual-SIM as it actually physically has a double SIM-card tray so there is a tiny possibility that it's a very weird software limitation (breakable in the future) but I would't have high hopes
Thank you, I want / need dual sim, (work etc) so will probably have to give this a "miss" unless.......

No problem, glad I could.. "help".
No one has a clue why Oppo made this limitation, both phones (CPH and PDEM) are identical (hardware-wise), both have dual SIM-card tray but only the Chinese software is capable with working with two SIMs.
The phone is so great I might let go of dual-SIM requirement but I understand it's the decisive factor for many. Oppo has surely cut their profits by doing this and I've never seen anything like this before (phone hardware supporting it but an artificial software change blocking it).
I agree totally, it's ludicrous that this should be the case?
If only they gave users the choice? After all it's £1099 phone, it should be!?
Apparently Clove, (UK) has the dual sim version. Ceramic black only though, at the moment.

It's either a typo (misleading information), or they're offering the Chinese model with Chinese software and 256 GB storage (the latter option is very unlikely).
Remember, technically the phone is always dual-SIM. That might be the source of their information.
I have emailed them for clarification, awaiting reply!
Got the reply!
Hope this helps ?
Just for clarity...

Ok, that sounds strange (or interesting, depending on the point of view). Currently, as the international CPH version of Find X2 Pro doesn't support dual-SIM, there are two possibilities:
- they're still sharing misleading information (deliberately or not) and the phone will be single-SIM
- the phone will come with a brand new version of Global ROM firmware which somehow enables dual-SIM (and which hasn't been released yet), which would give hope to other users of international CPH version.
Hardware-wise the version you're ordering is 99% the same as the ones already released in countries like Netherlands, Germany.

yeh again unlocked. carphone warehouse is the exclusive seller on contract I should of clarified
Yes this is very odd...not sure what game they are playing. Why would the UK get dual SIM, or some specific market. This is driving me nuts.
Maybe I'll contact oppo directly.

I might add, that until this question is clarified? I will not be ordering,
Single SIM?
Dual SIM??
it's just all over the place at the moment??
I thought i posted this here also :
Ok after some research, and reading another post in the forum, i can mostly confirm that there ARE 2025 GLOBAL models with dual sim around. Apparently the Clove is getting the dual sim.
Clove find x2 pro
and i confirm this is correct by going to the UK site of oppo...
Oppo official site
This means that's even crazier than i thought... some markets, even in the EU get the dual sim and others dont....
but just to make you laugh check this out :
Oppo says ALL their phone are dual SIM

I stand corrected!!! Oppo is really not clear on this.
As this is very WRONG
on the top of their site : it says "dual 5G" which can make one believe that it's dual SIM. But when you scroll down to "network" it clearly says "Single sim".
Uk Oppo site
So why do they mention dual 5G ?(maybe the two 5G (mmWave and the other one).
I sent an email to Oppo asking for some clarfication.
I checked all around the world which markets have dual sim (outside of China) and apparently none have it.
So i'm waiting on feedback from another member who has a 2025 but dual SIM... this is all very confusing.
just to add some more confusion (salt into wounds, so to speak) into this... Amazon UK also claims "dual-sim" in their pre-order for June 10th release. Also Orange version, 12GB 512GB.... sold and dispatched by Amazon... :crying: :fingers-crossed:
I loved this phone in PDEM version but the lockdown of the software made me switch to Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro (plus I can use custom roms). Dual SIM especially since this is band capable for TMobile and Verizon in the states. I love dual sim... if dual sim is confirmed, i'm switching back in a heartbeat... just given the facts though, I think it is sellers typo in their information. Oppo clear states on UK site, CPH2025 model, Single SIM.

I sent an email to Clove UK and Amazon to clarify their listings for these phones... I'll wait to see reply..
