Hey guys,
Just pre-ordered mine in the UK. Wondering who else has ordered and what specifically brought you to this phone?
I also pulled the trigger on an unlocked P20 Pro from Clove UK, only to quickly cancel my preorder. The issue for me is whether the unlocked UK variant will support T-Mobile's VOLTE in North America. Once I confirm this, I'll go ahead and buy the phone.
I want to - but I haven't seen the gradient color for PO anywhere. Have you all?

Is this dual sim you know, if yes I'm all over it.... Ta!
For UK guys and gals, I don't know that clove will get you the Bose headphones on pre order. I couldn't see it on the clove website anyway. I've ordered mine from Carphone Warehouse for that reason.
I couldn't see if it was duel aim or single SIM if I'm honest.
Edit: whilst it doesn't say if it's the duel SIM variant on Carphone Warehouse, it does say there is an SD card slot which I believe is only on the duel SIM variant as a hybrid duel SIM. Alternatively you could order from elsewhere and get the duel SIM variant?

Too bad Carphone doesn't ship to the US
Yeah I would have preferred the twilight version. It is available on the Huawei website but they are asking another £50 for it. Unless I could find it else where at £799 with the Bose headphones then I'm going to stick with black...

Do we know if the single SIM variant will have the ability for SD cards? If not, I guess the Carphone Warehouse site is incorrect.
It is showing that this phone is running on Android 8.0 rather than 8.1 so it's already got something else wrong...

I'm new to the Huawei scene, how are they will releasing kernel sources in a timely manner and are there many Devs of on previous Huawei devices (to get a feel of what development might be like). I guess treble will improve things as well in that area.

just pre-ordered (netherlands)
Was ready to pull the trigger on a mate 10 pro, but this came out. Why? I really want the monochrome camera, and this has _more camera_... Also - black. That blue/purple isn't available, otherwise I'd have ordered it.
As rav101 said I’m new to Huawei I’ve been with HTC seemingly since time began. A strong Dev community is a big plus sell for me.
I’d have dismissed the P20 Pro due to lack of headphone jack and looked at the Samsung S9 or wait to see what
One Plus 6 has to offer but the free Bose headphone’s for pre-orders cancels out my lack of jack phobia as they are the best wireless noise cancelling headphones around. Cetainly sweetens the deal.
I’m looking at pre-ordering via mobiles.co.uk as they seem to offer the best contract deals: 02 – 15GB, £38 a month and £49 for phone.
For those looking to pre-order, use on of these approved retailers for the free headphones!: https://huaweipromo.co.uk/gb/en/pages/p20bose/qualifying-retailers
Preordered mine via Mobiles.co.uk
Includes the headphones as well and works out less than RRP if cashbacks pay but also includes a 4GB/24 month contract with Vodafone. Total price at £750 including contract after cashback, £792 if it doesn't pay out.
£240 upfront and then £23 a month.
Link to deal I posted up on Hotdeals here

I didn't realise very.co.uk was included. Through my work I think I can get 7% discount bringing the price down to £743 and still get the free headphones. Result for a phone only price without any contract!

To clarify , none of the models have support for micro sd cards. None. Unfortunately, many website and retailers have incorrect info. You either buy a single Nano sim or dual nano sim version.
In the UK, you can pre order a dual sim version from Three UK. As far as I know , they nabbed an exclusive on this.

If you like send me an private messge.

To my knowledge all 16GB phones are China-edition and thus
a) missing international LTE bands
b) come with a chinese OS (ColorOS) instead of CM
Afaik all early contest winners who won the 16GB edition were upgraded to white 64GB editions.

Your knowledge is wrong.
1. The LTE works fine in Europe for the chinese version.
2. You can flash CM11S stock image.
3. There are 16GB international phones for sure.
I bought mine from lenteen.fr , paid via paypal, received 1 week later
But now they ship from EU (mine was shipped from china) and it should take around 48h
If your buying on Gumtree then make sure you pick it up as there are a lot of paypal scammers on there.
I'm selling one of mine on there at the moment and I have had a few people asking if I would post and take paypal even though I offered to deliver(I travel a lot with work) so you just know they would make a paypal claim as soon as they get the phone.
Likewise if your buying on there you get a lot of scammers looking to pull a fast one.
If you are buying a sealed in box phone then you can't check for the yellow screen until you pay for it.

That's a dangerous statement as neither chinese nor international OnePlus work as expected across all of Europe due to the missing LTE band 20.
Furthermore the chinese 1+ is missing LTE bands 4/17/38/40 which equals to 43% of all LTE bands missing. True it will work in most parts of Europe where the international one is working due to Europe's huge reliance on LTE bands 3/7/20.
Additionally the chinese version is missing 3G/HSPA band 4
Conclusion: my point still stands that the chinese version is NOT the same as the intl. connectivity-wise.

I specifically said "comes with", not that CM11S cannot be flashed anyway. Even if it is not very likely, they could break CM11S official updates based on IMEI, serial or other factors if you are not entitled to it. You would still have the "normal" CM11 though.

They changed production schedule way before mass-producing the device - only a few international devices were shipped with 16GB to journalists and maybe very early contest winners. Fact is that you could NEVER buy the 16GB intl edition.
Just bought mine off Gumtree from a local guy who had pre-ordered but bought an HTC M8 in the meantime.
£320 for a SandStone Black 64GB, brand new and unopened - absolute bargain
Hi there. Im from Barcelona, Spain, and I bought my Oneplus One from myefox.es. I bought the white 64GB one, with DHL shipping service (was here in 6 days) and it costed me 313€ total price (around 270 pounds, guessing) Yes, it is the chinese version, but it comes with CM11S installed, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery.
Works perfect, no problem with reception, calls, signal... not eiter in spain nor uk, as I travel to Glasgow quite often so, so far, so great!
I think it is a great deal, so you might want to go and check the website, I think they have one in english too, but this is the one that I bought it from.

Sorry, you're right. No invites for 16gb phones now..
As for CM, since they posted a ROM on their website, it's very unlikely they would ever start doing something you mentioned to the CN versions... Even if the 1% chance came to be, you can always get the latest OTA zip on xda
Gumtree probably best place like I said just meet them at there house or yours exchange details if you feel need. There some good deals ATM

Looks like I will be selling my HTC one Max to get the one plus then
Anyone who is on the fence about buying this phone, Amazon is selling the 32GB model for $349.99 with free Prime 2 day shipping.
http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Unlocked...459972230&sr=1-4&keywords=moto+x+pure+edition
Nice price. I paid 450 +tax shipping and handling.
If I were sitting on the fence, I'd probably jump in the opposite direction and get a Nexus 5x. Not a great deal of development going on for this device and you only have to look here on XDA to see that. Even more surprising that Motorola only appear to have released Android 6.0 for the device unless you live in Asia for some strange reason. I would have expected at least 6.01 to have been available by now for the rest of the world, especially when you consider that with a Nexus device you could be running Android 7 already.
A word of warning for T-Mobile/MetroPCS/MVNO* users: VOLTE has audio jitter that makes calls unbearable. The only known solution is to disable VOLTE. By doing this you loose band 12 LTE. This will affect your cell coverage in buildings and in the country. Moto has been aware of this for a while now and has no solution or ETA thus far.

Yep. Picked mine up today at Best buy for the same price. Jumped for the 32 gb version for stress-free app installs and I'll be throwing in a 64gb SD card tomorrow.
This phone really has a lot going for it at the current price. I was going to get the Oneplus 3 but reading about LTE connection issues on att I passed.
300 for plain black 64gb a week ago from moto store. 50 bucks extra for moto sport watch edition 2. Passed on it. Im on Verizon. Would have waited for the Z but it will be locked down tigher than............. and the unlocked version is only GSM. those bastards. I love 1 full day 4 1/2 hours screen time.
Just a heads up guys, this phone is $250 on amazon for Prime Day. IF you have prime, you get free 2-day shipping and a phone for $250 for the 32GB version. You can do White, White and Bamboo, or Black (black is out of stock so it'll take a few weeks)

This thread is for Europe pre-orders
Just ordered 64gb Orchid Gray S8. Decided on S8 rather than S8+ I figured a 5.7" screen was big enough!
This is my first ever Samsung phone, coming from OnePlus 3T. Really like the screens they are amazing.
Would be interested to know more about the processor and if bootloader will be unlockable like US versions. Actually with the 3T I just kept it locked and stock as well.
The US versions will be unlockable? What's your source on that? Word has been they will continue to lock all North American Snapdragons as has been their recent policy. The international on the other hand has remained unlockable and the conventional wisdom is it will remain so for the time being.
Where did you buy?
For the US version, I was looking at threads here, but admit did not go into a lot of detail in them. I bought directly from Samsung. I dislike carphone warehouse I had a pre-order for an HTC 10 with them, decided to cancel. What they didn't tell me at time of canceling was rather than getting automatically re-funded I got credit instead. I was just inside the window to get the money charged back to my account.
Also decided to go for the orchid grey as it looked amazing as well!
I'll wait three months or four. Then i might get the S8!
I was told by many stores that you can test the S8 and S8+ yourself beginning tomorrow 31.03.2017.
Sadly no promotions for us in Europe at all. Asked many stores across Germany, Switzerland, Austria as well as UK.

Honestly had the Dubai dual sim Note 7 and S7 edge too much hassle when it comes to warranty issues. Samsung does not cover overseas versions apart from their own country.
The cost alone for the s7 edge is very expensive and no point doing it yourself as you ruin the water seal.
I have gone the local Samsung. I know you want the dual sim as do I but for the repair and other costs no point.

I wonder why the difference... Crazy not to offer the US fanboyz and girlz - and I also wonder if we'll get a 6gb in China.
Can anyone in the USA provide me with the Model Number of their OnePlus 6, need BOTH the 6GB/64GB and 8GB/128GB variants?
Looking to purchase the device, Unfortunately i must purchase it on Amazon and i want to make sure i get the right variant....
Thanks in advance!
*edit*
I found out ALL OnePlus6's have the same model number, no matter the variant, or color, or region..
*Edit*
So far i have found out there are (2) different models, A6000 and A6003. I can only assume there is a A6001 and A6002, most likely for other regions...

Thanks for the info nfo, looks like the 1+6 has the same model number across all variants.
I decided to take the plunge and said FUKC mid-range devices, I'm getting a OnePlus6 in white to match my Panda Pixel 2 XL....Seriously, 8GB of RAM, things i wish the Pixel 3 XL has....
So I ordered the OnePlus 6 off Amazon, only because i had a $400 Amazon Credit. I ended up paying over $100 more and come to find out, this device was not sold by an Authorized Retailer. I asked OnePlus if i can purchase just the Damage Protection on a new device purchased from someone other then them directly. In the Subject Line it states (US WARRANTY). I asked if i would still be eligible for the Factory Warranty and NOPE!

So I ordered the OnePlus 6 off Amazon, only because i had a $400 Amazon Credit. I ended up paying over $100 more and come to find out, this device was not sold by an Authorized Retailer. I asked OnePlus if i can purchase just the Damage Protection on a new device purchased from someone other then them directly. In the Subject Line it states (US WARRANTY). I asked if i would still be eligible for the Factory Warranty and NOPE!

I'm sorry that happened. Generally, to keep the warranty, you must either buy from op themselves or an authorized dealer. I would not be too concerned as there aren't many manufacturing defects reported. The odds of you needing to use the warranty are slim. I also must ask, are you using this in the u.s. or another country? If somewhere other than the u.s.a., make sure the bands the phone has are compatible with the network in your country.

Yeah, I contacted the seller and they said IF there was a problem, they would process the RMA.
I am using it in the US and on TMO and it covers ALL TMO LTE Bands in the US including the newest band 71, which is for capacity.

Band 71 is the 600mhz they bought last year in the spectrum auction. It's for their signal to travel further from the towers and for the signal to penetrate buildings 2x stronger. Not for any real speed improvements and it's only in rural areas that have virtually no coverage for now. So it isn't even close to any real city and such.
What you will see and get a boost from is the glass back (increases radio reception) which people same is not point without wireless charging ROFL, and the new modem which is now 4x4MIMO and THAT will increase your speeds in the same area. For example, in my house, the best area for reception is my living room. Before selling my OnePlus 5 I did a Speed test and it was 48mbps down on my OP5 and my OP6 with the same sim and location pulled 135mbps 1 min later.

I have metro pcs (TMobile) in US. Works great!
There are 2 versions. A6000 and A6003
The A6000 is missing three 4G LTE bands; 30,32 and 71
These bands aren't used in Europe only in North America ATM. But you should check your carrier and Wich bands they use

Yea, the A6003 has been ordered and delivery is 7/11. I have T-Mobile and according to the Specs, the device runs on all available GSM LTE Bands, 2, 4, 5, 12, 66,and 71...

Seems to me, that getting the a6003 would be everyone's best bet for coverage. Unless of course you live in Europe and can get the a6000 cheaper. I knew there was another model but couldn't remember which. Thanks for the info.

I'm on T-Mobile network (metro pcs) and can confirm it does on all these bands. What's more, due to the glass back and Snapdragon 845 soc, the reception is fantastic. Much akin to Motorola phones I've had in the past. Everyone knows Moto has the best reception in general for smartphones, but op6 is just as good if not better than any Moto I've had in the past. Even my wife's s9+ has issues when my op6 doesn't.

This is not true at all! I love my Silk White, but there are so many defect reports, it's not even funny. I've never seen this for a flagship phone before, except the Note 7.
Almost all reports come from Asia. So I guess their quality control is different for US and Europe. Keep that in mind.

That is on you and Amazon. Oneplus website sells these phones directly, and their prices are actually the msrp. Which is currently the lowest price, because the phones are so hot.

The only reason I spent the extra $100 buying through Amazon, because I had a $400 gift credit from returning a Moto G6 Plus, so I had to purchase it from Amazon.
