Chinese or International???

Hi all.
Just about to buy this handset but prefer to have the 6GB/128GB model.
Therefore I would have to buy it from China. I heard Huawei have allowed gapps again so what is the difference between the Chinese version and international?
Will every app work OK on the Chinese version?
Which should I get?
Thanks for your help.

Of course all apps run well ,you can search "GMS" in huawei app store and you can get Google framework support without root your device.

Version MATE 9 MHA-AL00 6\128 GB supports many languages. Firmware is changing rapidly and more . Last firmware B135-B137 Gapps are installed via the app "GMS installer" http://appstore.huawei.com/app/C10736615 All apps are working.

Thanks guys.
Just ordered from Liaow - looking forward to receiving it!

I got the Chinese version (4/64) by seller "mistake" however I was able to set up Gapps through GMS and everything works fine in the USA on Tmobile network.

well, lets see... there are several models to consider.
L29 / L09 are the international versions with dual or single sim, respectively.
then we have AL10, TL00, CL00, DL00, the chinese variants of the mate 8.
then there are regional subsections of these models, contained in the software version, i.e. L29C185 for middle east, L29C432 for europe, C636 for asia etc., the C being the so called "cust" or regional code.
good thing about all this: every version can be bootloader unlocked and can be reprogrammed or "debranded" to any other version (aside from dual vs sim slot, cant change that, obviously )
if u prefer not to mess around with debranding, it depends on your preferences which version you should get:
L29/L09 international versions come with google services and apps preinstalled, whereas the chinese variants dont have those. so ull have to manually install them. in general, official rom updates come to the chinese models first, followed by the international phones. note that some regional custs basically dont get any updates whatsoever, so best to stick to one of the major custs (like europe, middle east, asia, etc vs. south africa, chile or smth. the larger the region, the better).

I would also be interested. I have the same model with 6gb of ram.

C432 is what you're after.

Thank you. So we would have to use a tool like FunkyHuawei to switch from the chinese version to the international one, is that right?
Will we have to unlock our bootloader?
Are there any guides out there that explain the steps?
Thank you so much.

I have called Huawei in Europe today and they have told me that changing the Version from China to Europe is no problem at all and does not require to unlock the bootloader. The guarantee will not void as long as you use official huawei builds.
This is rxactly what he has told me.

And did he say how to do that?
I have the same one and i would change to the europien rom, too

CN version Mi 10 Pro with Global Software

Hi all,
I just ordered a Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro from an online shop in my country, Bulgaria.
It turns out it is the CN version with Dual SIM but with Global software installed on it, whatever this means.
I have thus a few questions:
- Will I have regular updated of the OS in this case?
- Will the phone be compatible with all the LTE / 5G bands in all Europe (it is important that it works everywhere because I travel a lot)?
- Will all the functions work properly?
Thank you in advance!

If they misrepresented this as the Global version, then return it and get the real thing. There is no guarantee that secure apps will work or continue to work and I believe that the 5G antenna is different on the Chinese version (but I might be wrong).

They said it's the Chinese version with the Global software. My main concern is exactly the antena and eventually the OS updates...

I don't know how it has global software, if you keep it you can only unlock the bootloader if they didn't already do it and relock it. Worrying too say the least, I have Chinese version with EU ROM installed but I did that myself, I heard 5g working fine in EU I haven't been anywhere I can test with the lockdown. It's possible they have left it unlocked would be better if you can do it with your own account.

I installed the EU ROM using twrp have to unlock bootloader first tho. I haven't tried 2 Sims but I'm sure that will work just fine. EU ROM is better than global anyway.

I am also tempted to buy the CN version from Giztop with Google apps installed. I'm planning to unlock it eventually and flash eu rom on it. Can I update the phone through built-in software update? or do i need to flash it everytime? what's the downside of doing it aside from getting your bootloader unlocked?

Global v CN
I have researched this in depth as some of the specs are different on different websites selling it. From what I've seen, the CN dual SIM version with app store added lacks a significant Band 20 for Europe LTE, whereas the single SIM Global Version has the band 20; Xiaomi have said the Global version will be single SIM only. I believe Google Pay will not work on the CN version: you can check the different specs out at wonda mobile a Hong Kong seller. I believe it is possible to flash the EU ROM down the line but haven't come across a method to follow.

Hi, I am also from Bulgaria. My phone is coming today or tomorrow from China as well. It's a chinese version 12/256GB. On chinese version you can easily install Google services, but languages are 5-6 total and english of course.
If they say they have loaded bulgarian language, most probably they have installed Xiaomi EU rom. If you have any other question - I will be happy to help.

I may get the giztop Pro version(china) with the global rom flashed.
As long as someone has a Authorized Xiaomi Account. They can use the Xiaomi tool to flash.

I'm very close on pulling the trigger on mi 10 pro CN but not flashed with global rom. only with google apps installed because I wanna unlock the bootloader by myself and flash eu rom. If you buy the CN version with global rom flashed, they will have the code for unlocking the bootloader and I doubt if you can get the code from giztop.

You have to use MI unlock tool to unlock the bootloader. You will have to wait 7 days and you will be authorized for an unlock.

5G
Hi, bands are as in image for UK. Note again for 4G Band 20 is absent on CN version. All 5G in UK is 5G NR band n78 which is present in both CN and global version of the phone.

In my part of the world, we use B3 and B28. CN version only have B3 and no B28. Does that mean I wont have 4G in some areas? Now I'm leaning towards buying the Global now.

Try flash global rom,then back to cn rom, will lose one sim and auto reboot.

I order these all the time, this the Chinese rom with Google apps sideloaded more than likely. I'm not entirely sure if there is even a global rom available yet. That being said, your software will be one of those two options. More then likely, the former. The hardware will be Chinese, so 5G will not be supported here in the USA, just 4G LTE and not all bands at that.
You will get the MIUI updates, but not the Google updates. This is solved rather easily though by installing rom from Xiaomi.eu. These ROMs are installed using TWRP and are updated weekly with MIUI, as well as, Google updates.

I think if you are buying cn version it's best to get without play store, that's what I did, all you need is play store APK, all frame work is already there

Giztop has emailed me say that they will flash the Global rom which they get from Xiaomi.
I did say I don't want the Xiaomi EU version.
I think I will take a punt. But I bet it will take weeks to get here via DHL?

I'm very intrigued to knowing how this turns out! I want to do the same thing. I just don't know how trust worthy Giztop is as far as flashing the official Rom and what risks that has.

Oppo From these markets IS a GLOBAL (2025) dual SIM with 512GB

There are many posts scattered around with this information, and people asking about it. So i prefered to regroup this here.
So YES it is confirmed, the only places to get the OPPO Find X2 Pro 2025 , Global WITH Dual Sim are in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapour (waiting for more information if other countries have them)
It's nearly impossible to find a place to buy it online, so you need to find alternative ways like http://www.parcl.com to get it, and it will come out more expensive.
Be careful on the JD.com site from Thailand as it has various versions of the phone.
Also apparently Oppo is big in Thailand and they have shops in Bangkok, so it's easy to find (apparently the Black one is out of stock, but the Orange one can be easily found).
One member here posted this as proof, and it's thanks to him we were able to find the truth!
Oppo FInd x2 pro screenshot

I'm also interested to know that. Did you flash the EU / UK Firmware on the Thai Model with no issues? Strange i thought the Global 2025 variant all have the same firmware. But now thinking of it; as the Thai model is the only Dual SIM 2025, i'm very curious to know what differences there are... as if there are not many, this is going to be interesting to see if it's possible to port it to other 2025 single sim Models.
Could you please enlighen us and tell us the differences between the two models?

So, everyone getting Find X2 Pro from Thailand is lucky right ?
All OPPO Find X2 Pro in Thailand has 2 IMEIs as far as I know.

also, I was running on .21 TH firmware and that shows 2 IMEIs too.

Yes, you are right. i miss understood at first. 1 SIM can have 5G, the other is 4G. If you switch "SIM2" to 5G "SIM1" will have 4G max.

you were able to flash EU to your Thailand model? Just flashed in recovery? Sorry don't understand or do you have EU model that doesn't work dual sim?
---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------
under the bands specs... this is the translation
* The function will be available on the 5G Live Network. Depending on the service area of ​​the network. And software of certified devices It will be able to support the 5G function when it is upgraded via OTA and when the network used is ready to provide service.
meaning it doesn't support 5G currently since it is not necessarily deployed in that region but they will bring functionality via OTA...
To note, currently 865 snapdragon has 5G limitation to 1 SIM only and is being worked on currently to be patched... this is for all phones... you can either rock dual sim, dual 4G, 1 SIM 5G and 1 SIM Standby. Someone in previous post has the phone in hand and could answer better. The limitation is not Oppo's issue... its googles and Qualcomm. This is why USA OnePlus 8 Pro is currently only 1 SIM and EU OnePlus 8 Pro only supports dual sim 4G.

Available officially in Malaysia and Singapore as well.
Could be available in other places as well. So it's definitely not Thailand exclusive

You are right.

Yes, I'm able to flash EU firmware and Global firmware back and forward with no issue.
EU firmware is less bloated with no theme or OPPO browser app. However, my purpose then was to get May patch cause the global rom .17 was pulled at that time.
But I'm back to .21 Global now.
If we flash it from global to EU, something might not work properly. You have to do data wiping once and everything will be fine. But that is not the case when you switch to global firmware from EU firmware.
And for the question about flashing. Yes, I did flash everything via its recovery.

Ok great to know!
Where did you get your "EU" firmware (source)?
Also, you confirm that the dual SIM is still on when you flash the Firmware (it can happen that in the UI or partition the dual SIM is not written in the code. Thanks for your help.

Hello @SAO
Does the Thailand version have non Latin characters when configured to English language?
How much did you pay for the Thailand version?
I just managed to buy the Chinese green version. I am preparing myself for flashing Global Rom (or EU Rom if there are some non Latin characters on global Rom). You confirm it is possible? Is there any tutorial for that?

I'm using PARCL...
its a buying and forwarding service... basically, you find something on the web... for example, the thailand version of the Find X2 Pro (I used the recommend mobile company site that Oppo recommends on Thailand site, believe its AIS)...
Copy the website url and total price and some additional details like color, capacity, etc.
Go on PARCL and follow their instructions (its fairly intuitive)... You basically make a request for someone in that country that forwards for PARCL to buy it for you then ship it to you in your home country... think of it as a personal shopper.
You pick from different forwarders in that country... some new, some experienced, etc.
They review and message you back that they will agree and will give you a price for their services + shipping. For me with USD conversion, it made the phone around $200 more expensive... considering I didn't have to pay tax and I choose the option for them to manipulate the customs info (basically they send as gift as opposed to purchase, helps to avoid tariffs, aliexpress does the same thing) Its not the greatest deal but I am getting a phone in Indiana from Thailand and didn't have to fly there personally...
You pay the total fee (phone cost + their service + shipping) all together with paypal. This lets it be under buyer protection... so even if there's a scam.. you can get your money back for the most part from paypal.
Then basically you wait and stay in contact with your forwarder...
for me, mine should reach him Friday then ship after that... about 12 hours ahead.... then he will take to DHL and ship to me... Will have it in hand next week.
They will typically take a picture when they have it in hand before shipping to you as well.
I mean you could probably hop on a plane and get it yourself faster... but that fairly fast.
This is my first time using the service... its fairly legit... like anything, it has good and bad ratings... but with using paypal for payment... it keeps you protected as far as getting what you ordered... I'll let you know once I get it to give my full recommendation and I will even give my forwarder's name so you can look for him if you decide to go that route...
Unless you know someone going there.... I could not find a store shipping overseas.... plus, how legit is it to give over your credit card to a shop in Thailand or Malaysia??? really? This sounds like a much better "safer" method to me! :good: :fingers-crossed:
