Tried to find this information the past week and found nothing but I bought the phone anyway.
It runs absolutely fine on UK networks and Google Play was already installed from factory.
This is the HK Edition of the phone running International Release of the Firmware and is in full English.
The JOVI AI button can be changed to a different app too.
If anybody has any more questions about this specific model feel free to post here or message me.

Is the EAN code on the box: 6935117809403 ? If yes, than its the same Indian/Russian model
Strange that they use Google in Hong Kong but not in China

Yeah that's the exact same EAN code as the Hong Kong one.
Seems like Hong Kong is selling International versions.
It's expected considering Hong Kong is its own separate entity from China
Where did you get yours through? I bought one that shipped from Hong Kong through AliExpress, and it's for sure the Chinese variant. The phone arrived with like 9% battery, and they clearly just set up the phone and added Google Play. The UI was still in Chinese too, so I had to derp through the UI using my current phone with the Google Translate camera to switch languages. Also had to use a loophole to set up a Vivo Account to change my settings, even though (from what I hear) the global version doesn't require a Vivo Account to do that.
I feel like I'm the exception and not you, so I'm just trying to figure out if there's an easy way I could return this and get the global version in the US.
Which seller did you use. I have Chinese model but would like to sell mine and get the International version, so Jovi button can be re mapped, etc
How u change Jovi button?
May I know where did you get the Hong Kong edition from?

This is the exact one I bought Ebay ITM 232868306722
You should be alright I'm guessing with any that claim to be the HK version. There are other ebay listings too so just search "Vivo Nex S HK"
Also I'd like to add they said shipping would take 2-3 weeks and it in fact only took 5~ days (ordered on Friday got Wednesday)
In fact HK and China do not share the same (restrictive) politics ... It has something to do with the history of HK. Thats the reason, they do have Google or Porsche or Lamborghini and stuff like that.
In the UK. Got my Nex s from Wonda Mobile. Super service. 5 days direct from Hong Kong. Black 128gb International Version. In English. Google Play factory installed, side button is google lens/google assistant out of the box & UK plug. Very quick phone & build quality. 3rd generation finger print sensor works really well. Screen is excellent with really good quality colours etc. (Not as super crisp as Galaxy S8 but not far off). Cameras take great pictures. Software works great for the UK straight out of the box. Spend a little time setting it up fresh rather than from a back up and its perfect. Only negative for me so far would be the screen sound casting. Although conversations are clear the max volume level is to low. Overall though great phone at the price point

I'm looking to buy mate 9 to use in the UK.
Please share your thoughts on the phone especially those within the uk.
I'm interested in knowing if it would work on all UK 4g networks.
If camera is any good ompared to iPhone 7 S7 etc.
If there were any concerns with the phone.
I've read it does have touch screen issues which is worrying.
I just need help deciding if this phone is worth getting or not.
Not sure where to purchase in the UK, but you can purchase the international version (model #MHA-L29) from several retailers online. I purchased it from Wonda Mobile and had it shipped to the US. They pay any import taxes etc. too, and warranty it for 1 year. Make sure the model number is MHA-L29, not MHA-AL00 (Chinese version without 'true' Google Services integration).
How much did you pay?

Yes i am, I have the Mate 9, working great, I did an unboxing video on my YouTube channel. I have bought 15 phone's over the last 6 months from wonda mobile and no issues. My channel name is Tech Zilla
I've owned the phone for three weeks, never heard of any touch issues, and never had any. It's working better than any phone I've owned. The EMUI 5 is now my favorite UI.
Congrats all! This is a top of the line device!

The difference is only with the pre installed applications,all the international phones use the same bands for network,maybe only chinese cust use different one more or less band.
As far as i remember that mate 9 should work in US without any problems.

Hello All,
I have been a hard-core Windows Phone guy since the first Windows Mobile devices. I came to Windows Mobile when the Palm devices went away. I stayed loyal to Windows Phone as long as I could. The Lumia 950XL was not a bad device, but when mine started deteriorating recently, I tried the HP Elite X3 at a cost of over $1,000.
I’ll make this long story short. This device is junk. There are no apps left, and the ones that are left don’t work on this device. Windows Phone is dead, and I can’t wait on a “Surface Phone” which we may or may not ever see.
I have ruled out an apple device. I have never had an Android device, but have pretty much decided on an S8+. I’m U.S. AT&T, but I work in Africa and have a local sim card there. I need an unlocked, “real” dual-sim device. By “real”, I mean both sims must be fully functional (active) simultaneously. No switching back and forth.
So, my question is; does anyone know if Samsung will release an unlocked dual-sim S8+? If so, when? If not, can anyone recommend a high-quality, unlocked, dual-sim device?
Thank you!
Dave
PS: For Sale: Like new HP Elite X3 with two cases and all accessories. I think I also have a Sony Beta HiFi in the garage.
Isn't there an international dual-SIM, unlocked version of the S8+ available?
Just checked and found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Factory-Unlocked-Smart/dp/B06XXR799Q
This is probably available in the Middle East and Indian markets.
Another alternative for you could be the OnePlus 3T at less than half the cost.
https://oneplus.net/ca_en/3t
Hope that helps.
April 28th samsung will release another version of the s8 I think it's unlocked but I know for sure is exynos... sorry I couldn't help out more
Thanks Rajeshr. I looked at the comments to the Amazon ad. It looks like this is not a dual-sim device, even though it states it is. I am looking at the 1+. Thanks.
Thanks also mlock420 (& a happy day-late 420). I will follow this closely. Must have an unlocked, real dual-sim. Will check the 28th. Thanks.

Yea, youll want that, youll also want to custom rom your phone too which will only be availble with the exynos varient. Its not enough to get an unlocked sim these days, for maximum compatibility between countries/networks you'll also need an unlocked bootloader, so dont get snapdragon usa model!

The U11+ selling in Hong Kong are eligible for local warranty only, so think before you buy.

Hello everyone.
I want to buy Mix3 in online chinese markets as soon as it's available, I don't want to wait January when it will be available in Italy.
The question is: can I buy the Mix3 online in China and flash xiaomi.eu ROM or another i want? Or the Chinese Xiaomi phones are locked?
same here!
i have a friend in China for a couple of weeks. wanting him to buy there and bring back to USA for T-Mobile use. Can i get a global version or flash a global ROM to a Chinese version phone. I would assume an unlocked phone from a store there could work just fine. That is my hope.

You need to make sure that he is grabbing the right model for Tmo bands. Then it will work. No global rom as of yet, so you are stuck on the CN rom for a bit (a la no Google out of the box)

thanks. that makes me kinda want to wait. If looking at the GSMArena specs, its got most of T-Mobiles bands...but If sometime later there may be a UK/Global model maybe its best not to grab one from China quite yet. But that is a gamble weather it would even support those 2 missing T-Mobile bands anyways, but at least there would be a better ROM for it.
Ya, I want the phone for the L1 + L5 GPS GNSS but it lacks Band 71. Google always tries to copy Apple too much and cannot put GNSS bands into their pixel 3. You would have thought they would have done that (besides I hate the stupid chin-pull out speakers would be awesone though). What I can tell the 256GB has B66 while the 128GB lacks B66. If anyone would confirm that?? Sounds like GNSS phones are MIA except by China.

If anyone is selling a LMV500EM for the European market. I would be very interested in buying it.
Cheers
So the issue with this is the only carrier that is selling it in Europe, EE, has some strict unlocking rules. You have to buy it with a contract and then wait at least 6 months before you pay the extra 10 bucks to get an unlock code. Then you've got the rest of your contract. Unfortunately the European version of this phone won't be available for use in the US untill another carrier starts carrying the phone. I really hope someone can crack the bootloader on the Korean version, but it doesn't look like many developers are picking up this phone.
I got my V50 last Wednesday. Seller didn't say it was locked to EE but paid for an unlocking service on eBay specifically for LG V50. If it doesn't unlock I'll be asking questions.

I got it from Ebay Uak. The seller was Cash Converters. I think Wonda Mobile is a better option atm. Until 5G is rolled out in more places in the UK, EE won't sell it. Its not in the local stores where I live.
Well unfortunately Wonda is selling the Korean version which can not be officially unlocked. As for Cash Converters looks like they're a pawn shop so maybe if I check their website everyday I'll get lucky. Thanks man!

I got it from Ebay Uak. The seller was Cash Converters. I think Wonda Mobile is a better option atm. Until 5G is rolled out in more places in the UK, EE won't sell it. Its not in the local stores where I live.

Hi
Could I ask a quick favour?
Could you check the service menu 5457#*500# and see what frequencies the UK version uses under the Multi Band selection menu.
Does it show a B78 or N78 frequency?
My Korean KT version only goes to LTE B41.
I'm starting to think the hardware of the Korean version might not be capable of using UK 5G frequencies...

Didn't work came back with an error code
Hi
Thanks for trying.
The chances are the 500 bit of the code is specific to your model of phone.
I know using 400 worked on my OH's V40.
But LG have some erratic numbering systems!
If it's a dual screen model the code might be 510 for example.
PITA and I've been using LG for years now!!!
Cheers and thanks!:good:
Hello all I just brought the LM-V500EM and the latest security update is May 2019.
Is this normal? I feel like something's not right as there are no updates at all.
