Hi!
You all who lives in europe and bought The mate 8 from China. From like aliexpress, how does insurance work if you will experience some trouble with the phone? If I buy it in some lokal store where i live i can just let them deal with it. Im just curious how to deal and what to expect if i buy it from China!

They usually give you a 1 year warranty. You'd have to contact the place you bought it from if you had a problem.
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....

aliexpress is already selling this phone.

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.

There are 2 variants of the pro: 4/64GB and 6/128GB.
I live in India, i purchased a OnePlus 3T through Amazon on the 14th December, 2016. The Order never reached me by time, amazon missed due dates twice. Currently i have canceled the old order and asked for refund. I am know trying to make a fresh buy, but the phone is out of stock. It would be of great help if anyone can help me with the dates by which the ph will be back in stock @ amazon.in
:crying:
I am looking to buy a OnePlus 7 Pro from Swiftronics. They sell the GM1910 (China) version of the phone but I believe they flash Oxygen OS using the built in updater.
It looks like it should be perfectly usable in Canada but I just wanted to confirm I would not have issues with OTA updates or connectivity issues.
Currently in Ontario and on Koodo.
Hey it would work with no problems. But I would recommend ordering from Ali express as it would be cheaper. I got my oneplus 7 Chinese version with global ROM installed and I've been getting all the OTA's with no problem. PS I'm in Atlantic Canada

Ok thanks. I'm not sure if I trust such a large purchase from AliExpress. I feel like I would have a better chance of getting my money back if there was anything wrong from a Canadian reseller. Especially since it won't have a warranty. Unless you have a link to a really reputable reseller with a much lower price.
Yea that's totally up to you. I've purchased several expensive items from Ali express. Never had a problem. My biggest purchase was my one plus 7 as well haha. I usually look for a seller with most units sold and good reviews obviously. Also free shipping haha since you don't pay import duties on free shipping.
I was wondering if there was any official word on the OnePlus 8 pricing for T-Mobile. Since we are 8 days away from release, was wondering if they are delaying the pricing because of the Mclaren edition being the same price.
I saw someone on reddit say that it is available. It is $100 cheaper than the Mclaren.

T-Mobile is releasing the OnePlus 8 on April 29th, 2020 -- yes, tomorrow. I hear that T-Mobile will not be carrying the OnePlus 8 Pro (of course, that could change)
In my experience as far as the price points are concerned, here's what I've gathered since I've owned and bought my OnePlus via T-mobile -- see below.
Expect to pay around 50 bucks more for the sake of convenience and having immediate assistance either in-store or call center help.
I can confirm that going direct to oneplus.com is 699.
I hope this helps until the official launch at t-mobile.
