I'm due for an upgrade.
Will US Carriers sell the Honor 8 or will it strictly be available through Hauwei's online suppliers?
No, they will not.
"Honor 8 is going up for pre-order tomorrow for $399 for the 32GB model and $449 for the 64GB model, and it will be available at Amazon, Best Buy, B&H Photo and HiHonor.com. This is an unlocked smartphone, and is not heading to any carriers, unfortunately. However, the Honor 8 will work on both AT&T and T-Mobile here in the US."

I can corroborate this. Honor is all about selling online, and so like the 5X, the 8 is available unlocked and not through carriers.
Like svetius stated, I guess it will be sold online (meaning it won't be sold through carriers, forever)
The preorder went live yesterday, with 50 dollar in credits. The 32gb (399) will become 349 and the 64gb (449) will be 399..not bad at all

Does it matter? The carriers only charge a middle man fee anyways.
It is better to have it unlocked rather than carrier-locked (you know: bloatware, slower updates...etc)
This phone is only being sold as unlocked (GSM only) through their website and some retailers such as Best Buy, Newegg, and others.
With a locked bootloader and no source code for the Kirin processor, there is a very good chance there won't be any extra (XDA) development for this phone.

Now wheres the 64gb version at =\ I want that model not the 32gb.
It will be in their best interest to have ROMS etc for this phone....
This could be the killer handset of the year if they play their cards right.
It has so much going for it

XDA is pushing forward in making that happens. More developer friendly + friendly developer = greatness for everyone (Honor included)

Honor should deliver anything related to development (bootlaoder unlock, source code and even device tree if possible) to make things great
I'm going to wait and see what Huawei does with the bootloader unlock and doubt they would release source code, they haven't done so with the P9.

As with the what everyone has said it won't be through the carriers and I hate to say that will be a huge problem for their us release. Less then 3% of people in the US buy devices full retail. Mainly when you can get other flagship devices for nothing up front. I hope to see it as it this could be a great thing but I just don't think it will happen.
Wow Best Buy is selling the V20 for $899.99!! Yikes!!

Or that is just what this phone costs. People said the same thing as you about ATT pricing.
Thought I had replied to this thread. Weird.
Any way, Best Buy is sometimes known to throw a page up with an inflated price until they get the official price for it. I'm hoping that's the case this time too. Especially since Sprint doesn't even have a page for this phone that I can find let alone a price.
Otherwise, $900 is way too much for this phone and I won't be getting it. Even $800 is a bit much.

Yeah I think they did this with the LG G5 too before that was released earlier this year. Also, Sprint is going to be doing a promotion where you can trade in any smartphone with mopre than 10$ in trade in value for 200$ in credit, although that might only be for if you get the phone in an easy pay or lease option and not a full buyout thing.
I am waiting on T-Mobile for their page to go live for pre-order. If the price is that same as on the other carriers, I will have to stick with my V10 or try out the Axon 7 til the price drops below $650.
Also, if the carrier doesn't offer the B&O headphones ... I will have to pass.

It is already confirmed that LG is offering pre-orders in the US a pair of the H3's. As far as I can tell, they haven't really excluded any major carriers on the offer. Not sure if those who don't pre-order will get them or not. I assume "quantities are limited". So you either have to bite the bullet and get in on the pre-order if the headphones are important to you or wait for the price to drop and forgo them if price is more important. Hopefully the price won't be so bad though. I have heard Tmo pre-orders could open on the 12th (already passed though), 14th, 17th or 20th.

Weird. When I went to the Sprint site earlier, I couldn't get the V20 to show up when I looked through their phones. They sure do want you to know they have iPhones though.

It isn't listed in the store...but they've had an advert page (buried a bit ) for a while

They'll have a hard time selling them if they bury it like that.

Given QA/QC problems of the past for LG, and the MSRP...I don't think they plan on worrying about selling many.
hahaha dude, why are you here? I legit want to know. you're just negative and a buzz kill to everybody who's interested in this phone. you're not buying it? great! we won't have to see topics of your complaining. why not just go find another forum here for whatever magical phone you want to buy instead of the v20 already? I just don't understand you.

Well, we don't have an actual MSRP from any other carrier yet besides AT&T. There's still a slight chance that the other carriers could undercut AT&T. Hopefully. The only place I hear about QA/QC problems with LG is in hardcore Android forums and it only really seems to be a few very vocal people. Certainly, I'll keep my eyes open but I'm willing to ride the odds in favor of no issues. But if Sprint can't put the phone in with the rest of their phones when they have the iPhone plastered everywhere on their site, they'll never sell it then wonder why. Then again, having met the Sprint CEO in the very bar I'm sitting in right now, I'm not surprised. Doesn't seem any carrier is really trying all that hard though. AT&T has their demo model off in another corner away from the other LG phones in the stores I visited. T-Mobile has it listed on their site with the other LG phones but that's about all of the exposure it gets from them at the moment. The reps are definitely psyched for this phone though.

Actually, the Best Buy site now shows 24 months for $30 which is $720. It also shows free BO headphones and a $200 BB gift card for any qualifying, working, non screen damaged phone.
A member of another website's V10 forum posted that he made another inquiry about the V10's availabilty in North America. The news isn't positive--apparently it won't ship before sometime in April at the earliest. Looks like there's a real chance this phone just won't ship to the US/Canada/Mexico.
If this happens to be true, they definitely lost my business. Probably grab a S9+ or wait for the 1+6.
I just want to pull the firmware from it to see if bands are not just locked up but otherwise it doesn't really hurt me. I've got a OnePlus 2 right now to use with data anyway. It sorta sucks to have to work between both the EU Honor V10 and this but I love the V10. Great capabilities

I hope the info is wrong, but Huawei's complete silence about the shipping date and price doesn't give me any confidence.
I'm still having 9.5.3 version, when will we get further updates for 5G version??
I will be the bearer of bad news here; I doubt anyone here works for Oneplus so I don't think anyone will have a specific answer for you.
My guess to the question: Sometime in the next month
Seems like nobody knows and OnePlus are keeping very quite about it.
I've been asking repeatedly on the community app but still no news.
Very poor from OnePlus considering this is their all singing all dancing version.
Does not seem to look good moving forward.

Same boat as you mate
My first op device now feeling I should have just bought the 4g version
I'm fed up of seeing threads on here and in places like Reddit asking how to add GMS to this phone. If you want GMS then why have you purchased a phone without it?
Either take the time to learn how to live without GMS or don't go buying phones without it. It really is that simple.
Yup. It is the first phone that can not install GMS. It is possible with P40 PRO but not with international P50 PRO, China is OK - it works (Harmony 2, not EMUI).
So we are dealing with it. No doubt about that.
Right now the international P50 PRO is crap. This is how we deal with it.

You mean moaning is how you are dealing with it.
So why buy a phone that doesn't come with GMS if all you are going to do is complain about it not having GMS? Do you go out and deliberately buy a red car just so you can moan about the fact it's not blue?
I love the way P30 PRO works, I skiped P40 PRO (worked with googlefier), P50 PRO China works also. International is crap. At the time of my purchase I did not have information of the "crap" diference. There is no color logic here.
The phone works properly, according to the manufacturer.
It is only your fault that you did not find out properly before the purchase; lack of proper information does not mean that a product sucks ...
If you buy something only on the basis of assumptions, you will end up with such results.

Phone does not suck. It is one of the best phones on the market. I know that for sure. That is why I bought it.
But that does not change the that the phone is CRAP without GMS. I bought Chinese version with Harmony. I got this EMUI crap. My fault is just buying this crap. Info about EMUI and not Harmony came with the phone. I would still use my P50 PRO if I could "uncrap" it.
So you bought a Chinese version, but you received an international one ??
That means you have been cheated by the seller ...
I preordered it when there was only one version. I did not specifically said:"Don't sell me the crap EMUI version.", because it did not exist at my order time. This is now the only version you get around here.

Whether you purchased the Chinese or international version is irrelevant. You would of bought a phone that did not come with GMS. Even if you got the Chinese version you'd eventually start complaining once the exploits got patches.
I am not complaining. I just explained my point that the phone is crap without GMS. No need to change my mind. You should respect my point of view. I am not trying to change anybodies mind. This is simply what I think of this phone. I explained why I bought it. You may use it as you like. Enjoy. It looks like your expectations are fully filed. Mine are not. So for me it is a crap.
Another thing is that most of other phones can be unlocked and rooted. This one? CRAP! You can't.
I bought the phone and I can do with it what I like. Right now it is in the original box waiting to be "uncraped". If you want to offer serius buck let me know. This crap is for sale.

Your point of view and yet you keep saying we.
But anyway please go ahead and sell your phone. I'm sure the buyer will be mature enough to appreciate it for what it is rather than wishing it was something it is not.

Noted. Mature buyer like me. I can see that you would like to make all P50 PRO look like a shiny pearl. If you ask me it is crap (international version). You can not change that with your "mature" aproach.
And it is not what I wish it would be. You are right.
Do you want it? 800 europen shilings and it is yours. Shipping included. Warranty from this year at local telecom.
