European HTC U12+ in US - HTC U12+ Questions & Answers

Hi! I'm planning to buy a new unbranded HTC U12+ from Bulgaria (Europe). Soon I'll spend a few months in US, so will I be able to use it as out of the box on T-Mobile? Thanks in advance!

T-MOBILE, I'd say yes, but I don't remember the details about it.
And no for Verizon!

[Q] Is this phone even out..?

Hi there,
I see that the threads on HTC Sensation are thriving, yet whatever site I look at the phone seems yet unreleased.
For those who have the phone, at which countries has it been released? Or how did you buy yours / where can we order one?
Thanks in advance.

It's been released on Vodafone UK. Not sure where else.
Also with VFR in France I think
VF-DE released the phone a week ago - Friday 20th.
Mine is on its way - i hoped it would arrive today, but it seems i have to wait until monday.
And on Vodafone NL.

Chinese Sensation

Hey there
I know I've been inactive on XDA for a while, I'm sorry for that
My Sensation has been stolen a while ago and I wasn't able to get it at all, so I'm planning of getting a new one. I live in Egypt and not planning of buying one from here at all.
I'm currently planning of getting an HTC Sensation XE, what you guys think about it? Or should I wait for the Sensation XL?
For now, I have a friend traveling to China, so maybe he'll buy it from there, is it a bad idea? What Software Versions come on Chinese Sensations?
About the price, will it be cheaper in China or USA?
Thanks a lot guys
I currently live in China and got my sensation here 2 weeks ago. I don't think there's an official Chinese version of Sensation. All I've seen here are black market handsets (I might be wrong though).
But what I'm certain is that most of the Sensation sold here is European version. They rooted the phone and replaced the ROM with those found in Hongkong or Taiwan version of the Sensation (so they can change the main language to Chinese).
When I purchased mine, I was offered that kind of handset for 2900CNY (without the memory card though, I even doubt the phone IMEI matches the box IMEI). There's also another set (Hongkong version) which is brand new, unrooted, still wrapped in original plastic packaging, and carried 8gb TF card). They do not need to do anything to this phone because it's Hongkong version, it supports Chinese by deafault. After some bargaining I managed to get it at 3130CNY.
230CNY difference, but if you minus the 8gb TF card (goes for around 100CNY), the difference is only about 130 CNY. But I feel much safer with the brand new handset. And so far I had no complaint at all.
Hope this helps
as a chinese, i wanna tell you that most htc phones' users in Mainland China are not using phones that should be sold in chinese mainland(most use phones that should be sold in HongKong and Taiwan, and my sensation should be sold in singapore), although we just buy them in mainland china. so our phones are not legal and have no guarantee. so don't buy cell phone in mainland china, obviously HK, TW, USA, or any other contries are better choices.
sorry for my bad english, i hope my reply can help you.

I was offered 欧版 which I assume is European version?? 港版 and 亚太版 are slightly more expensive..
Actually its more important to find a sim-free phone rather than what country its origins. Cos the roms can still be flashed but if you land with a sim-locked phone, it won't be easy for you.

yeah 欧版 is european version.
港版 and 亚太版 are more expensive just because they support chinese as original language
Thanks a lot guys!
Seems like a big deal buying it from china as I prefer buying one legally and still in the box..
So, seems like I'm buying an XE from Dubai What you think about this phone?
Any recommendations? Should I go for another phone instead? what you guys think?
Thanks again everybody

I bought a HTC Sensation in the Netherlands and it seemed to be a imported united kingdom model and there was no Dutch neither Chinese in the list off languages.
However that was easy solved. You just need to download an app from the Market called MoreLocale 2
Because it seems in fact the language is there, but you can just not select it via the settings and need this app, as far as I saw it worked perfect because the HTC Sensation is not setup in Chinese.

Thank you
I don't understand Chinese, I was just scared to buy a Sensation from China and to find it fake or without warranty..
I just didn't want to find myself with a Stock Chinese Rom, as I like using Stock Rom for the first week or two then start using Custom Roms..

I have the opportunitie to buy me a LG G3 AT&T, but I'm not sure I can use them properly here in the Netherlands.
Are there any restrisctions?

You can if its unlocked. But you may or may not get 4G/LTE. As well as no updates due to it will only update with an active att sim in it.

I've read that the UK version will get 6GB ram bump up from 4GB and 128GB storage over 64GB elsewhere so if you see one look out for a 6GB version.
Only 6GB ram version is sold in HK
Do you know if the radios will be any different?
I am also interested in this, particularly if a HK handset will covered by HTC UK warranty?
If you guys want buy in Hong Kong, I am happy to assist you.

Thank you, I appreciate your offer mate. I'm interested in purchasing a HK version, though am wondering
1) Can I change all settings to English
2) Are the radios for the HK version compatible with Vodafone 3G and 4G networks here in Australia

Yes, it can fully display English as UI and I think there is problem to work with your network in AU.

The U11+ selling in Hong Kong are eligible for local warranty only, so think before you buy.
Thanks for responses I have picked one up in HK. Radios should be all good. Warranty is local but I knew that before purchasing.
Love the phone so far. Some great battery life after day 1.
How to buy U11+ in Hong Kong?

Pretty sure belsimpel.nl don't ship to USA (someone has asked previously). I would imagine the UK (had heard 21st May?) will be selling soon, which presume would ship to US.
