Anyone own the international version in US and using AT&T network?
I currently own the North American version but missing fingerprint scanner. I'm considering switching to International version.
Any issues I should consider or be aware? Thanks.

I've been using the one from Clove.uk since it came out and I've had no issues at all.

I got mine from unlocked-mobiles.com and I use it on AT&T without any problems.

Great to hear! How accurate is fingerprint scanner in your opinion?

It's really good and fast but it's incredibly sensitive. If there's any moisture or even trace amounts of dirt, it won't read your fingerprint so you just have to make sure the sensor is clean and your fingers are dry.

I bought the unlocked UK version and use it on AT&T in southern Florida, and love it. Please note that indicators on UK phones will show "4G+" when you are on LTE (google/bing it--they mean exactly the same thing).
Just flash the international region firmware to your US version and you get working fingerprint reader etc. No need switch phones.

I did this (thinking of starting a thread about it:crying and I was able to use fingerprint scanner, but now my Xperia backup accounts are "unable to connect", the stock camera takes green pictures (literally just a slab of green) and settings say there's an update, but the software section says it's up to date with Android 7.1.1 and the September security patch.
I was just on Oreo 8.0.0 and November security patch without any of these bugs using the stock US firmware. Any advice on updating the EU version (unless the EU is STILL on 7.1.1 and Sept. Security patch) and fixing bugs?
Green pictures? This is a symptom of unlocked bootloader. Did you do that by chance? If yes, take a look in dev section. Search XDA for Xperifirm tool to download all Oreo builds for EU/USA/Asia
I really wish people would stop saying there are so many different versions of the phone, they are confusing themselves and others. There are only two models, G8141 & G8142, single sim & dual sim. Also firmware doesn't seem to make a difference at all as far as connectivity goes, I originally had the HK firmware, then flashed CE1, then FR, and they all operate pretty much the same for AT&T here in the US. I used the FR firmware because someone in another thread pointed out how it has been getting the updates first usually.

I got the international simply because I can root NOW and use titaniumbackup/tasker fully aware that I will never have wifi calling
is there a difference? probably.
is benchmark same as real world usage? no
is it a game breaker on either one? prob not, and I am not going to lose sleep over the "wrong one" that I got
I will get the international model then. Thanks.
i just got my international model and i LOVE it. Exynos is the way to go.

Nope. Only us version works for now. Had an unlocked att one for a few days before I bought int version on ebay. Samsung pay not available on international version... yet.
Any news on if buying a US version and flashing another firmware will re-enable the fingerprint scanner? Just trying to plan if I should wait on an international version of the phone, as I don't want it without a working fingerprint sensor.
Yes you can. It worked with the Xperia X. Sony hasn't changed much in the fingerprint hardware. Just have to wait for people to upload EUR Stock roms. It could be a few weeks since UK release date has been pushed back to Oct 17th. I can imagine you will be able to flash it around November. That if you can wait that long. I pre-ordered UK version mainly because Amazon doesn't offer the blue color and Clove UK offered free Sony headphones along with their blue XZ.
Good to hear. I'm in the US. I was going to pick up a black one. No worries on waiting. Given the price drop Sony has done on their recent phones a few months after release, I'm going to wait and see if that happens with the XZ. Also toying with the idea of getting a dual sim one for the extra storage space.
I also order the UK version of the phone just so I don't have to worry about re-flashing to unlock finger print. It came out cheaper than buying it in US.
Yes this is correct. From Clove UK, my total order is $620. And it will be shipped with a free Sony XB950BT EXTRA BASS Bluetooth® Headphones which is value about 150$.
My US version blue Xperia XZ arrived today. I immediately dowloaded and installed the UK Custom ROM and fingerprint manager works beautifully.

Got mine today in the mail. Loveeee it! The selfies camera is definitely the best I've seen. Way better than Note 7 or S7 one. The light auto adjust sensor is freaking awesome. Just remember to select UK English when first set up. If you choose US English, fingerprint wont work.

That i'm not sure. Because the UK phone runs UK roms. US roms might have fingerprint completely disabled.

I currently have the Xperia XZ from UK (Clove) and using it on T-Mobile US with no issue. After getting both phones (UK & US model) and checking the dBm, I concluded that both get same amount of reception, they have a same model number. Only differences that I have found between the two are in the firmware which US doesn't have FP and UK does and US graphically shows total of 5 bar for reception and UK shows 4 but at the end of the day they are both the same.
I hope it helps.
I am currently looking into getting this device. Where can I actually buy the 2 sim version? Is it not released yet? I cant find it anywhere. maybe I am looking in the wrong places
Thanks guys
Creating this thread for UK users so we can discuss updates and other stuff. Speaking of updates, has anyone in the UK received the Pie update yet?
It was released today! This is the UK thread -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...p20-pro-sim-free-clt-l09-c782-t3801361/page46
02 Update
Just received Android Pie/EMUI 9 OTA update on O2 UK Pay Monthly (CLT-L09)(C782)
Bloody Three is gonna be the last as usual. Any one got Pie for L29 782 dual sim?
I think EE will be the last ones to roll it out. They're so bloody slow with updates it's a joke!
If you got the update write out the model of your phone
EE: L09 (C782): No Update
I'm on EE so I'm expecting. It at the end of February.. March at the latest, certainly no later than April. May at an absolute push.. June if their taking the piss proper.

I bought mine from o2 unlocked, yet i'm using it on vodafone, no update yet...
I am very surprised to see that 2 days after I got my Pie update over the air there are still no other O2 users reporting the same. I am starting to wonder if it has anything to do with my current P20 Pro (L09 C782) being a replacement directly from Huawei for a bricked one I sent back to them in November. That would be strange, though, as I believe the speed of updates depends on the carrier and not the phone itself. Any thoughts, anyone?

Because it is literally the same phone. I could not find any difference. Updates from tmo or from op. You pick. Buy the phone on layaway from tmo or buy rn from Oneplus.
That is the only difference.

Correct but it's still the same phone. There is nothing special about the t-mobile one. They advertised like the tmo one had better 5g capabilities, but it is the same. I have an 8t bought from oneplus and I use it on TMobile, compared to a t-mobile employees' who I rooted and poured over, no discernible difference other than ram size and storage but none of that is anything important in terms of is it 2 diff devices?? Nope.

Oneplus 8T
I buy a oneplus and a pixel every year. The pixels suck anymore compared to oneplus. Buy oneplus.
The T-Mobile version has sim slot 2 disabled and no assigned imei for it. Might still work once converted but only one sim active at a time. AOD is also non existent until future update or conversion. There's also more steps to unlocking the bootloader. It requires sim unlock and you need to submit a code to oneplus to get the unlock.bin but their site is bugging out for now. Sounds like it'll be fixed within the next week though.
Edit: the T-Mobile version KB2007 is still the hardware equivalent of unlocked US KB2005. Only actual difference is software limitations. Once we can convert firmware its just another KB2005 hardware amd software wise.

What the heck are you talking about, the phone is great, battery is great (81% left after busy day), speed is blazing, camera is great, little to know issues (gmail freezes and no swipe down to answer) - surely not worth crying about and from what I read the update has no significant value - return your phone if you are so displeased with OnePlus.

Because we have full zips for Euro and OTAs will actually work. Converting to global would require the same reserve.img dumping as T-Mobile variants and break OTAs without tons of effort. Global will hopefully use OnePlus servers for the next OTA.
For now, converting to Euro is best for most 8T variants. Modem works perfectly with whatever bands your phone's hardware support.
