You need to wait for the US version. None of the other versions support the US LTE bands.

Very unlikely to work for CDMA carriers outside of China, unless it works over VoLTE.
As for the reason, there are various legal protections for Qualcomm, and Huawei's implementation doesn't include Qualcomm.

The 970.
I'm curious to find out if unlocking bands is possible through changing the firmware. That could be interesting to find out

No, Samsung is using Exynos or Snapdragon. Honor is using Kirin processor
Any info about a global release ?
Another question:.
Will the European version have the same rom? Because most languages are already supported on the Chinese version?
Will it be likely that LTE b7 and b20 bands be included?
I've never had a Huawei phone. What's the possibility of them being rooted or can custom roms be installed on them?

They used to be. I had a Mate 9 and LOVED IT. But heard they don't provide bootloader unlock codes. You can buy unlock codes though.

I read about that too. But that just means you have to pay more for the phone basically (extra $55 for the unlock code). Unless somebody finds a way to unlock the bootloader without asking for money. I like the Honor Magic 2 better than the MI MIX 3 but the Mi Mix is more developer friendly
Oh... No band 20 support is a bit of a killer :/

There are quite a few bands in use in North America missing, sadly. I like the look of it, that it has a wide-angle lens, but the Mi Mix 3 just has so much better global compatibility.

Here for use in EU it has all the bands I would need except band 20 sadly... The Mix 3 only advantage I think is the global compatibility and bigger modding community

Xiaomi devices do get some good ROM's. I just wish the Mi Mix 3 had a wide-angle lens and the in-screen fingerprint reader. Then again, the Mi Mix 3 is a lot cheaper by comparison as well and it comes in green!

Hopefully Huawei changes their mind. I like the look of the Honor Magic 2 better than the Mi Mix 3 and I would prefer to have a wide-angle camera as well. The Mi Mix 3 though has excellent global band support though, which is important for those of us who live in North America.
Answer from official UK Honor Support :
Dear Nik,
Thank you for contacting Honor Support - UK .
The Honor Magic 2 is available, as you stated only in the Asian regions.
You will not be able to buy the device from Asia and make it compatible with the European markets.
This is because we create devices that are locked in certain regions and this is not changeable.
As of now we do not have a release date or idea if there will be one for the UK market.
If you wish to get any other information about Honor UK devices, I am more than glad to answer you.
Should you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
Ben
Honor Support - Customer Care UK
XDA posted an article about a rumour and another article saying that the Pro model will have 5G
OnePlus 7 Pro forums are now open
It’s getting close to the time of year when a new OnePlus device is announced. We already know when the OnePlus 7 will be revealed. This year is a little different, however, as OnePlus is announcing multiple devices. We already opened the forums for the standard OnePlus 7 and now we have forums for the OnePlus 7 Pro.
The “Pro” version of the OnePlus 7 will support 5G, have a Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display, 90Hz refresh rate, 4,000 mAh battery, and fast 30W charging. It will also be more expensive than any other OnePlus device. If you’re excited about the phone, hit the link below to join the forum!

It is. The model is Oneplus 7 Pro 5G. Different phone.
The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G being an n78-only phone would explain entirely why EE UK is the only partner for it. If the regular Pro has it, that would be insane. I don't think the mmwave antennas are needed for 3.5 GHz, especially if the phone doesn't support mmwave to begin with.

I know next to nothing about 5G, but have been holding out for the 5G version, hoping to use it on T-Mobile when it's available in the near future. Are you saying that the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G won't work in the US?

If it's only for 3.5 GHz, then no, not yet. It might work in a few years if the CBRS spectrum is auctioned off and built out, but not today. Europe is deploying 5G on that frequency.
If the phone support mmwave frequencies, then probably yes.
The rep told me the pro is actually 5G capable. #ThatIsAll

I dought that is correct.
According to this: https://www.cellularmaps.com/5g-coverage.shtml "Verizon Mobile 5G is only available in Minneapolis & Chicago." I think we need someone with Verizon there to see if the 7 Pro gets 5g.
I got 5g Pro pre ordered with EE UK.
Release is 31st may.
Hoping for not locked bootloader as they said they don't lock OnePlus devices but this is exclusive to EE so hopefully they don't start to lock.
I was surprised how well this phone is supported on XDA and it looks quite good on paper, i have 1 question i cannot find answer to:
Does this phone support Carrier Aggregation in Europe? (4G+)
It you buy EU version then yes. If you buy India, China (RMQ) or any other version than EU then definitely not. So I heard.

Nice. But in my country mi 9 lite 6gb and realme xt 8gb are similarly priced. If I decides to increase my budget then I will go for realme xt. Sd712 over sd710.
According to realme support no it doesn't.
Also I'm based in Italy and can confirm you there is no sign of 4g+ even though I live near a Tri-Band bts (3-7-20) and my place is full of two and three bands bts.
Considering to return the phone for exactly this reason. My old op3t had full 4g+ in the same position

I still can't believe eu version doesn't support 4g+. I mean did you check sites if they show whether or not this device supports it or not? I mean I definitely did before buying but I only see which bands does the device support. Not the technology (3g and 4g is present but I don't see 4g+). If you didn't check for it then why did you buy? If you did check but it was written to be present but it is not, shouldn't you get s full refund or device return + refund??

I can't believe it either, it was a BIG surprise to see it lacks it. In 2019, ANY and i mean ANY device you buy got a form of CA, even a Huawei MTK I just bought for dad for 99 euros. Of course this is also specified, for example as you can see there is mention for LTE-A (which is LTE+)
https://www.gsmarena.com/realme_5_pro-9801.php
I couldn't believe it so I sent an email to Realme customer service asking if the phone indeed supported LTE-A like specified and like supported by its chipset (snapdragon 712 is a 3*20mhz capable chipset) and they replied "realme 5 pro doesn't support LTE+"
Then, after more than TEN days, they replied again to the same email by saying that they were sorry for the previous reply and that the phone DOES support LTE+ (is this a professional service?)
I asked them how I can check which bands gets aggregated and why there is no sign of a 4g+ or lte+ icons like all other phones and... they never replied
I've read around that Realme support is a total crap, but I really tried and hoped they can answer about specs of a phone they produce and sell directly.
To dig further another guy here on xda sent some network guru screenshots where it is clearly shown that it only can catch a single band and not multiple.
So at this point I'm thinking about it. I've got until 31/01/2020 to be able to get a full refund but kinda I still like the phone speed, but this network problem and the camera (which is the worst 48Mpixel sensor I've ever tried, but it seems to be a software issue) kills my willingness to keep it. I was also waiting if any new update can fix either of the problems so I guess I'll wait a lil more, but still I can't advice to buy this phone. Xiaomi on the same price level doesn't have any of these major issues even though their chipsets are a little behind.

Wow... Just wow. All these bits and pieces of info are priceless and shocking to me. Thank you. Me too, I prefer the speed of the phone, the battery and ufs file storage, furthermore vooc charging. Amazingly conformable for my hand as well. Overall I'm really in love with it but kind of hate it at the same tine. My major problems are camera and connectivity. Both are extremely crucial when you take a look at a smartphone. Btw even oneplus uses the same sensor as our device. A developer of rm5p guessed that perhaps the difference is using different lens, not the sensors. I'm not sure. Anyway, we know more now at least. It's a start.

They are not similarly priced at all, mi 9 lite was on sale for 45,000 which is much cheaper than xt 54,000, sd712 vs sd710 very slight difference but 9 lite has its own advantages such as better selfie cam.
If you are looking to buy mi 9 lite box pack you can contact me, I can get you a good deal.
Hi guys,
I received an offer to order a Chinese Oneplus 8 and 8 pro however I am wondering if I can use the 5G here in the UAE.
Our networks support 5G, however, I need to know if the Chinese version OnePlus 8 5G will work.
Is there any bands like LTE that we can check. Or the 5G in Chinese version will only work in Mainland of China?
Thanks guys
hi dear, if you are referring to the ones sold on noon by callmate, they are definitely rebranded chinese variants, and you can check the 5g bands from oneplus spec sheets
https://www.oneplus.com/cn/8/specs?from=8
https://www.oneplus.com/ae/8/specs?from=8
i see that on https://halberdbastion.com/intelligence/countries-nations/united-arab-emirates both of your du and etisalat should work on 5g at n78, and looking at the above spec sheets, n78 is supported on both ae and cn models, so i guess yes it should work.
I might be wrong, so take it with a grain of salt

What do you think? I am thinking of buying OP 8, Mi note 10 pro or Realme x2 pro. Mi 10 price is crazy high here also so it is not on the option. Last option for me is iphone SE 2020.

Not to start a new thread, so trying to post the question here.
I got a Chinese Oneplus 8 Pro from an online sight who have stated that they've flashed it with the Global Oxygen ROM.
Thing is, while the sites state the 5G Bands that the phone supports, 5G does not want to work out of the box in my country (Saudi Arabia) even though my Huawei P40 Pro used to show 5G at home.
I've read somewhere that someone has purchased a similar phone and has managed to connect his phone to laptop and do a couple of things and get 5G to work.
Could anyone possibly point me in that direction? I have honestly searched for a few days but yet to find a way of activating 5G here.
Cheers in advance.

Hey thanks for your work on it. I've found that QPST up to 2.7.480 does not support the 8 (No Phone, but device manager sees it properly. I've also tested QPST with my OP6 and it's fine). Which version of QPST did you use?

in carrier_policy.xml you can change policy to enable 5G, modify 4G CA Combinations and enable/disable single band support certain PLMN.
Amazing, I can confirm that 2.7.460 works, but 480 does not. That said, can modifying carrier_policy.xml result in enabling bands that NV has locked? I assumed that adding bands required modifying the nv section?
Edit: Enabled additional bands via lte_bands section, but it didn't work (downgraded to 3G instead, no LTE bands shows up)
