Where to buy international 4gb ram 64gb?

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?

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'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?

why is it never going to be in shops there? in any case, id suggest checking out UK sites, they should have the mate 8 in stock

NXT-AL10 versus NXT-AL29

Does anyone know, really, what are the differences between the versions NXT-AL10 and NXT-AL29?
It has to do with the regions where they are sold?
The software is different from one version to another?
I ask this questions is because I've read almost all of the post on this forum, and frankly, I could not understand what the differences are...
IMHO I think the answer to this question is the key in order to install the different versions that are not yet available, but certainly in the near future will be.
By the way, my Mate 8 has the NXT-AL10C00B156 version. It is the Chinese or international version?
As others have said, I am also impressed with the overall performance of this machine, and my only disappointment results from the pre-installed software that has huge Chinese junk (of course, no offense to the Chinese people I greatly respect).
Thanks a lot

AL10 = chinese version, unlocked
TL00, DL00, CL00 = chinese versions, locked to chinese carriers
L29 = international version, unlocked, dual sim
L09 = international version, unlocked, single sim, only available in 3/32 GB
only differences between AL10 and L29 are in the preinstalled software (AL10 has "chinese junk" on it and no preinstalled google apps & services, opposite is the case with L29 & L09 models)
also, they differ in one single supported LTE band: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9878/the-huawei-mate-8-review
scroll down for the specs table, differences are listed there
thats it! and exactly because theyre so similar we can crossflash roms between the two models
cheers

Do you guys think we'll be able to flash the Chinese models into fully thinking they're L29?

good question, no idea. in principle, wed only need to manipulate the device name in about phone, so as to fool future OTA´s

I had the 10, returned for the 29 with preloaded Google Apps. I was having an issue on the Chinese version with Google Apps and my Google account. The Chinese language on some apps was annoying as well. Now with the International version all is good. Plus it was cheaper.

Some of you guys have any idea if briefly there will be a European version of the L29 ,as to L10 this will never happen ...
That would be ideal as we would be with 64 (which is my case ) or 128GB and the fully functional mobile phone !

Hi All,
I bought TL00 (China Mobile). Can I root it? And flash international rom?

hm, where are u located? have u made sure that it works with sim cards from carriers other than china mobile? just wondering
aside from that, some others have already flashed the international rom on their carrier locked china devices. although it didnt seem to help in terms of sim card functionality, the firmwares did seem to work. no promises though!

Huawei mate 8 NXT-AL10C00B156
Hi all,
Got my phone with all kind of chinese apps which ofcourse where of no use for me, as i do not speak Chinese. It came with google play store though so i was able to not only get rid of the apps they allowed me to delete and inhabilitated others. Installed all I wanted and more or less I am happy. The phone is absolutely great with 128GB and do not feel any yearning to the many samsungs I had in the past and got fed up about, and which I always bought in Asia with Dual sim i need for my double geaographical life. Would only wish to get the European version if their is guarantee that it works. I am far from an expert but have installed several times in the past different IOS via ODIN with good result. If anybody has tried this change with succes from the chinese IOS to the European variant, kindly indicate.
Thanks in advance,

NXT-DL00 - Locked?
Hello
I have Huawei Mate 8 NXT-DL00. What it means is locked for Chinese carriers. And if anyone tried to unlock it? I use this phone from 01.10.2016 in Poland. I think it works well but I can not change the language in the application Hiapp to any other without bushes nor register - server always busy, try later. I thought me change the software on the other, and everything will be fine.
Regards
MJ

are you able to get group text messaging functions like you would on a US based phone? for example a galaxy s7 that was bought in a Verizon store.
i bought the international redmi 3pro and i cannot get normal group messaging functions, i cannot see the group messaging all together in 1 single group text. it sends all responses to me as individual messages instead of a group. i dont want to buy the mate8 if it does that as well. i want my old group messaging functions back

depends on the app youre using i guess... also check and see if the app settings include anything about group messages.

Reliable retailer for 6x 64gb models

Hi all,
Anyone know of a reliable retailer that ship to Europe that sells a grey model with black front and 64gb storage?
If I have 64gb internal storage I would be able to use dual sim rather than filling the second slot with sdcard. But this model is unavailable in Europe as far as I can tell.
Thank you for your help!

The second slot is only 2G

AS per my knowledge, that model will be available only in China. It wont be released anywhere.

That would be a pity. Wonder if it would work outside China, or if its even possible to get from there.
I read somewhere that the 4gb model may be released internationally in March which might include the 64gb storage version.

I don't think 64gb variant will be released. However if the bands in your country matches with the supported band by that variant, you can buy it.
Also remember that the devs for this variant will be available only in Chinese forums.

Yeah, the 64GB variant of the Honor 8 was never released in the west either.

Can my phone be FRD-L02 but says FRD_L04_V3?

Hi everyone,
I bought an honor 8 which displays in the about phone menu:
Model number FRD-L02
Compilation FRD-L02C567B160
When I enter the menu through the code *#*#2846579#*#*, and I go into veneer informations -> version info. It shows under manufacturer information: FRD_L04_V3.
Is this right?

That would be too improbable... Two different phones, bought at different times... I guess that is the official version for the honor 8, regardless of the specific model. I also have a FRD-L04 and is the same version info..

No, not really. It's extremely common for people to get ripped off from random online sellers. The l-04 is the American model. That simple. Huawei/honor phone are made in China so every phone have the US version is absolutely moronic. You got scammed. That simple. But if your phone works then why are you complaining?

Then you might be right and we have been fooled by the seller. Not complaining, just wondering why the version number. And yes, it works perfectly.
It would be good to hear from a honor 8 FRD-L02 bought in India, that would solve the doubts.

It's not a big deal at all honestly. But that's exactly what happened. I could easily buy a lot of honor 8s from overseas much cheaper than here in the states, rebrand them all, and profit majorly.

It makes sense what you say, however this is the opposite: it is an American model (frd-L04) rebranded as an Indian (frd-L02), so unless the former is much cheaper than the latter, I don't see the reason for the rebranding.
On the subject, although not very relevant, my FRD-L09 running Oreo is FRD_L09_VN1.

Still the same thing. If they can buy American models for pennies on the dollar, they will. It was probably purchased in a batch of phones. I've done it before. You may get every single region with a batch purchase like I have. Like I said though, it's really not a big deal unless the phone doesn't work

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!

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.

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.

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.
