OnePlus 6 US Version Model Number? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

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 dont believe everything you read....

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.

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.
Regards to all XDA community,
Paco.

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

B&O HiFI Plus

Anyone has any clue to where you can buy this accessory? I cannot find any information on the web...
Same here. No one at TMobile knows about this device at all.
Just ordered from clove.uk shipping to us and i am betting price there is either lower or on par with us, if not oh well my loss lol. They say they will have stock on april 8th.
It is not yet available in the US, and even if you did find one, it won't work on US versions of the phone.
It has not yet been approved by the FCC.
It is on the way.I will show them when they arrive.
How much is it?
Awaiting for this as well, after a couple days of searching have not found anything. T-mobile stores are clueless as to when and how much. will keep an eye out will post as soon as i find something.

Is yours shipped already? Where did you order it from?
It's like phone companies have no idea that they own the portable audio market. Even finding specs on a phone DAC is difficult enough, now there's a phone with a premium external DAC, phone's released, no news on the DAC. No one knows anything about the DAC, no pricing, no release date, no availability. Do they plan on a shutter button selling their phone for them? Like, marketing... for audio?! No one cares about audio!
This is baffling.
I agree. I was already going to get the G5 but I am really excited about the DAC. They made the modular aspect a major point of this phone. Why wouldn't you at least be promoting the only module that is practical to use on a daily basis?

Ive emailed LG UK,
It will be working with tmobile version as it seems there is only one version. I checked the korean model and they have the same model number as uk version so i am going to order from korea as usd is currently stronger than korean won.
It won't work on a US phone unless there's been some kind of update...skip to about 5:30

FYI . i work for tmobile and have talked to our lg rep and the LG National Training rep (people who work for LG not for tmobile) for a bit and according to them, the DAC will not be available in the US. it is not even compatible with the US version.( as mentioned previously in this thread ) they said they hadnt heard of any plans to bring it to the US version. you will however be able to walk into a store and get the 360 cam, VR or Cam+ Module

any idea what technology its using that isnt compatible? Or maybe its a form factor thing? Or maybe since the power goes in the module its now wired for US voltages?

Mate 9 Pro-> Available at all? in U.S.?

The Porsche Design is incredibly expensive. But they have announced a Mate 9 Pro, and is on their web site here. But no information on versions, or places to purchase.
Google search not turning anything up either.
Seems like this time of year would be good time to get this stuff out there and available.

It's only a limited release so far.
It's available in China, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Your only way of getting it would probably be to import a Chinese version. I've yet to see a Nordic shop ship internationally even though it would probably be preferable (albeit more expensive) to get one from a Nordic country.
Other than that, you can only cross your fingers and hope it sees a wider release. I'm guessing they're testing to see the reception of a curved amoled display for future devices.
Thanks
Sweden and most of the others appears to be pre order from 20th.
i've found a couple of shops in sweden that will ship to other countries when they do have stock...
If you find out where the Pro is available for purchase online, please post.
Yeah, a lot of people like me have interest on this Model.
Sure. Likewise, of course.
Misco in sweden will post overseas but they only taking pre orders and are not guaranteeing it'll be instock by 20th. They said telcos will get them first so maybe try them....

Yup. It sure is. Although it is not available from a supplier in the U.S.
One of my concerns about purchasing a phone that would not be from a vendor in the U.S. is support. Even if the support is 'good', timing for handling would be an issue, I presume. Maybe my concern is not valid...I don't know.
The other thing for me is if I purchase a phone (especially one in that price range) I want to be able to evaluate it for at least a couple weeks and return it if it's not for me for whatever reason. The Oneplus 3 has a 14 day policy, and the Axon 7 has 30 days.
I talked to Huawei customer support today inquiring about the Mate 9 Pro because I have been wanting to get one but was told that they do not recommend buying it from 3rd party vendors or sellers and there is no warranty for the international version of the phone if you use it in the U.S.
Well, that ended my hopes of getting an expensive unlocked phone. Might as well wait for the upcoming phones...

Some re-sellers offer warranty support.
I wouldn't worry about it... I've never had to use warranty service for any of my smartphones. I've been searching but can't find any places selling this phone in silver/gray at a decent price... most are $1,000+. I already got burned when I bought my international Mate 9 (lost $200 when I sold it after the unexpected U.S. release).

Very valid. I bought a Mate 9 Pro in the USA via a seller on ebay. The sellers post just said huawei has 12 month warranty. Which is true. Just incomplete
After i received the device, i could figure out:
Huawei does not seem to have global warranty support == you need to send in the device for any form of repairs to the country where it is originally from.
My device seems to be from Taiwan, but that is just conjecture by me because the packaging has a URL from Taiwan on it. Alas, the Taiwanese Huawei site is one of the few that does not have online warranty check and when i sent an email to them from the webpage to inquire about my warranty status, i never got a reply. Maybe they can not or do not want to talk english. Or deal with overseas sold units customers.
Aka: i guess i am pretty much out of luck wrt. warranty unless i learn chinese and jump into a plane to taipeh. Which could be fun . But i guessed something like that to be the situation before i bought the phone, so no big surprise.
i got my mate 9 pro from ebay too. and it's also from taiwan. it's the gray one and it's only $878 + intl express shipping. i think it's the cheapest gray mate 9 pro coz some sellers from aliexpress sells it for even more than $1000 coz it's very rare. and they are selling the chinese version too. mine's international, i got it after 5 days here in new zealand via dhl. didn't have pay any import dutiesas well. the seller only sold 4 of these and i was one of the luckiest to grab the sale. here's the link:

That is a great price! Gray does seem to cost a lot more because it's unavailable mostly... there's a AL00 (China) model open box on eBay, but I'm afraid of dealing with annoyances from buying a Chinese model.
I've just ordered the gold via Amazon Prime for $889. At least that way I actually CAN easily return the phone and get my money back if I don't like it... or if Huawei does a release in the U.S. soon I won't get screwed.

I think I might have seen the same listing on Amazon as you for the gold one. But I got my gold model m9pro for $773 with free shipping (no tax) on ebay. it was a great deal and have been loving the phone. I got the C636 build which I believe is the European version but could be wrong.
It is available through Amazon (all versions-Porsche, Pro, USA and International).

I just checked your link, Porsche was there, no Pro. One said it was a Pro, and I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the Pro is 6GB of memory, and the one listed said 4 GB.
A The only reason I would want a Pro is for 6GB of memory.

international FD or china preorder?

Anyone know where I can preorder an international s8+ F/FD version? Or even the 6gb ram China version? Must be able to ship to Canada. Will China version be exynos as well? If not, not interested lol.
Wondering if I would also be able to receive the promo gifts if I preorder from outside my region.

Highly unlikely the china one will be compatible with your network frequencies depending on where you are.

Oh I'll have to look into that. Just hard to get any information on these versions at the moment

Yeah at least anything very reliable. Have to wait a bit to see i guess
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 get my international models at a local vendor so repairs wont be a problem. It would take awhile as they need to send the device back to irs country of origin but i dont mind as I have several devices i could use while its out.

Anyone have any experience with this website?

It ends up cheaper than me ordering from Samsung Canada if I get to pay the non vat pricing

China is getting the 835 for sure. 6GB ram is semi-confirmed for Korea and China, but some people is saying that it is not going to be available at launch.

Thanks, guess the 6gb is off my list. Would have been nice to have though.

Found another site that ships the SM-G955F and cheaper than the first link.
I can also order an Led case too. I'll probably preorder from them.
I'm surprised that I can order from a third party reseller for even cheaper than Samsung in my region.
I'll probably be dinged with duty when i receive it like when I ordered my international note 7.

At least you can get a promo gift with the second site.
"Additional Items
Thanks to Samsung's partnership with AKG & Harman Kardon, a pair of premium AKG (Harman) headphones worth up to £100 will be included in every box. Oh, and the S8 range still has a 3.5mm audio connector!"
That's a bonus!! i was thinking it was a long shot to receive any free gifts from ordering over seas.

That's not the bonus, that's just the same headphones included with every S8. The "bonus" headphones are with the Gear VR Immersive bundle that costs an extra $100 in the US. Don't think it's even being offered in the UK.

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.

Pre-ordered Thread

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?

I know, right. I wish they offered the Twilight version. That thing is incredible.

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 am waiting for it to launch in India
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.
To see list of qualifying retailers in the UK for the Bose Headphones look here https://huaweipromo.co.uk/gb/en/pages/p20bose/qualifying-retailers
