Pre-order Honor 20? - Honor 20 Questions & Answers

Followed the advert link on xda to pre-order Honor 20 and get smart watch free, thought it might be an opportunity to make some profit on ebay, gumtree etc.
Anybody with any thoughts on how the list price of the Honor 20 might vary after the release date?

Does honor 8 bundle contain a case

Hello Guys,
Still waiting for H8 to be released in india. In the mean time just wanted to ask if it comes with a case inside the box??
When i bought the H8 2 weeks ago (Netherlands EU) a case was not included, but atm a clear tpu case is included when you buy the H8. Check you local Honor site if that goes for your region too.
Still waiting for it to be release in india. Should be by next week although they are not ready to disclose that the date and are behaving like its a nuclear deal. Just wanted to get a case before the phone to protect the all glass back.
Nope. It won't be bundled with the case.Even headset also won't be bundled with it.
Depending on where you purchase the device, a free gift may be included in the purchase, such as headphones and/or a case. New Egg [goo.gl/gP9wYS] currently has some free gifts available with the purchase of a new Honor 8 device. (NS)
Lets see. It might be released on oct 12th. I was hoping it would come during next week as a part of the sales on various sites like honor 7 did.
My Honor Note 8 came with a polycarbonate shell case in the box so the Honor 8 may do as well. I think quite a few Huawei phones do.
Most of these companies have zero affection towards the Indian consumer. They haven't included any case. They don't even have the plan to release the official ones here. I love my phone but really disappointed with huaewi's half assed launch strategy in India.
In UK Honor 8 comes with a case via orders on www.vmall.eu/uk
Network 3 no case but the device is cheaper..
Till today, I don't find any case for Honor 8 at official stores.
But Indians are in the first slot for Software update.
Every regions won't get everything...
Yes my Honor 8 came with a transparent TPU case. Purchased from V-mall Belgium https://www.vmall.eu/be/honor-8-blue-292294/
I guess it does the job but the case is not that spectacular.
i guess no the case is not included

Nice, no doubt... But for me and many other people,, if not most, i think they buy the Mate 30 X or Mate 40 X or what the model no. will be, if they make this size of a phone again... When the 5G will become standard for all.
I think my self 5G will be running for most people in Europe in the Q3/Q4 2020. But we will see.
I really looking forward to see what it will give us all in reality.

"in screen fingerprint reader" is not accurate, however they're referencing the mate 20 x presentation where it was stated that 5G would be coming to the 20x
On hold for now.

It's nice that the Global version comes in 8GB/256GB now.

Nice yes but, 4100-4200mah battery, i really dont like that.
Display and battery size is for me no. 1 all other thungs coming after.
I had a dream of a m30x, but im sure after the m20x 5g, there will not be one.
So if Huawei dont release a phone with 7,2 inch minimum i think i will buy the Xiaomi Mi Max 4 pro, unless a similar phone with better specs will come.
But still i hope for somthing, i really wanna try Hong Meng/Ark OS, but maybe all other Chinese mobile brand will come to this OS to... Hope so.
And i hope its totally new thinking without Android, im 100% Android man, but in my opinion Android need to wake up. Every time they release some new stuff, its minimal like Samsung, nothing big or special at all.
Could be good for customers with some competition i guess [emoji1303]

Yeah i know, but you get faster 40W changing in return. This is still the best phone for me and faster changing, more ram/storage and 5G for the future is nice. It's too bad the didn't upgrade the 5G model more.
Does anyone actually know if this phone is available to buy in Europe or China? I know that some Finnish, Norwegian and the Swiss network Sunrise did announce sale and tariffs but I cannot see this phone online to buy sim free/outright.
I have a feeling that the availability will be limited to China only until the Mate 30 series is launched. Only then, if the US ban is lifted then we might see a Mate 30X with long delays due to preparations etc…. otherwise they might launch the Mate 20x globally with Mate X in September as these models are pre-Trump ban certified models, Lets see how it goes.
If anyone finds a sale link from Asia or other location that accepts secure payment methods (not western union etc.… ) then do please post it here.

You can buy it from etoren. It's a European online store. I bought mine from them in January. I have actually bought many phones from them and is tax free and 2-3 days delivery with DHL.

Also a Global model number is easier to search. I know that the Chinese 5G is EVR-AN00.

Huawei Mate 20X 5G - 5G Speed Test
Its finally here, The Huawei Mate 20X 5G the most powerful 5G handset available today, in this video I share some of my results of 5G speeds around London and give you some exclusive behind the scenes never before seen footage regarding what Huawei are working on within the 5G sector. #huaweimate20x5g #harmonyos #5GisON
You can watch the Video here: https://youtu.be/JResgwXSBbA
Or feel free to read my article below:
5G 5G 5G, What is it all about and How good is the new Huawei Mate 20 X 5G? Well in todays video I will be sharing Huawei’s idea of the future of 5G and sharing my results of 5G speeds around London using the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G.
First off lets take a look at Huawei’s first 5g handset to hit the market, yes I have tried the Mate X which is the gorgeous foldable smartphone from Huawei but in this video I will only be focusing on the Mate 20 X 5G as I feel it’s a device most consumers will purchase when you consider the hefty price differences between the 2.
It is a huge device and it’s pretty heavy, then again it needs to be to house the Huawei Balong 5000 which is the worlds first 7nm multi-mode 5G chipset. It provides industry leading 5G speeds and supports both NSA & SA architecture to aid in a smooth transition of the ever evolving 5G network. There is so much new technology that has gone into the Mate 20 X 5G that the battery has had to be reduced from 5000 to 4200mah, and both the headphone jack and top speaker have had to be removed too. Who says that you don’t need to compromise to be a part of the future?
So I attended a Huawei photo walk around London and thought it would be an ideal opportunity to test the 5G speeds using a sim card from EE in the Mate 20 X 5G and I would say that the results made for interesting reading. Some were what I expected and others not so much. I recorded download speeds of between 98.4 all the way up to nearly 400 megabits per second during the photo walk, so what does this mean, well simply put the Huawei Mate 20 X 5G is more than capable of providing higher speeds than the ones I experienced, however the Networks in the UK are still in their 5G infancy and as such need time to expand the 5G availability for consumers as currently its only available in certain areas and even then it’s not wide reaching after all I managed to hit download speeds of 170 megabits per second using 4G on the Mate 20 X 5G by simply sitting in my living room.
So I know most people are thinking well 5G is good for downloading movies and music but there is so much more to this than meets the eye and having seen first hand what Huawei has planned for 5G I must admit that’s what I find more exciting. Imagine a world of never having to download a game to your phone again but instead simply using cloud gaming whilst on the go? Yep that’s right if you are into games like Assasins creed, Fortnite or any heavy, demanding and intensive games then 5G is for you. Think about playing the full versions of these games not the mobile versions on your smartphone. By utilising the power of servers and hardware designed to run the full fat version of these titles and then streaming the games from those to your smartphone using 5G means real gaming for the hardcore gamer, not to mention smooth online multiplayer action where you could be playing against someone using a PC whilst you are on your Mate 20 X 5G.
This also applies to Cloud VR gaming and experiences, where a smartphone doesn’t really have the power of full VR but you could experience new worlds and VR games over 5G by using a VR headset and equipment that would move in real time to your actions without having to invest in millions of pounds of equipment that is needed to give you a smooth and seemless out of body experience. What about from a professional point of view? Cloud PC will cover that, if you need large files from the office or you need to network at the same time with other members of your team or clients you could do it now over 5G without having to download huge GB’s of files, presentations, production work etc will all be at hand anytime you need it. Just think if you could produce and render plans, blueprints, videos, documents on the fly and in real time and as you do others can add to it with their ideas and make any alterations if needed. 360 live streaming would also be possible, imagine Google maps but instead, in real time and the ability of even being able to see people walking around but again in 360 degrees simply from your smartphone, this would bring massive improvement to security, navigation and lets be honest it would be a lot of fun.
Overall the Mate 20 X 5G is a great first 5G handset from Huawei and I really enjoyed testing it out, but what excites me more is what 5G will bring to the smartphone and the direction Huawei is heading in. From what I have seen I can clearly see why Huawei is the leader in 5G and I can’t wait to see what else they bring to the speed table.
It has been available in UAE for past couple of weeks. It only comes in green color and for some reason when I hold it, it feels slightly thicker and heavier than then 4g version.

Ali Express Recommendations

Anyone have any recommendations regarding reliable stores on Ali Express
The 7 pro is about 1 to 200 euro cheaper there at the moment.
I understand that it will be china model but seems like a deal.
Anyone any experience with this ?
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/Oneplus/311331_515316811.html?spm=a2g17.12010608.nav-list.36.44257b99Ma8S05
This is the seller which my friend is working with. He is trusted since me and my friends bought a lot from him.
So you save up to 200 euro to wait at least 30 days for shipping from a sketchy retailer you have no info on.
Or just wait 25 days, you will potentially be able to save up that extra 200 euro, then order directly from oneplus or another trusted retailer near you and get it in the same or possibly sooner time frame and it will be the correct model for your region.

I think your missing the point,
I'd still have to pay €750 for the phone that way I could actually do that now if I wanted to but I wouldn't be saving anything
Site is trusted & tested ,If Anything goes wrong AliExpress team Steps in & Almost gives decision in favour of customer. They Even sometimes flash International rom on it. I ordered Oneplus 1 from them & several items afterwards

I just got information from the seller that If you write a message to this seller during the order and give him my nick as a code: Dorsefrith you will get 5% discount
You will have to wait with payment until he lowers the price.
Gone off the idea of using AliExpress,seems it's hit or miss when you will actually receive the device and stores advertising 6-8 days DHL is just an empty promise and then you've got the possibility of dealing with Customs,It's easy to get pulled in with the prices but overall not worth the hassle.
Gearbest is decent should be faster than Ali Express and some coupons for discount, Also avoid DHL they're a scam. I've had problems with them in the past with custom charges etc.
I want to buy from Gearbest but the phone was sell only from China or Hong Kong warehouse. Price was Good.
In my country, 19% vat + 2-4% custom... NO ! Thanks. But NO!
I both from a sales forum in my country a blue OnePlus 7 pro 8gb-256gb with 550 euro . Wonderful!

You'll still pay import taxes, if not then it's an illegal sale.

Huawei Mate 30 pro in the Netherlands

According to some twitter posts from Huawei nl, the Mate 30 pro is officially available at Mediamarkt stores in the Netherlands by 21/02/2020.
The price will be around €950
950€...that's still a hefty sum. Paid a lot less for mine 2nd hand but in new condition.
Looking at it, you can buy a brand new note 10+ for less than this and that phone comes with google play. I ask myself how many people will pay this price for a handicapped device. Not all of them are ready to side load google or even go without google.
Hell, the other day I had a note 10+ in my hands and you can say what you want but that is also a nice piece of tech.
It is official in UK as well.

Looking to find a Reputable Seller to ship to Canada

Hi
I am looking to purchase the new Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra China Version and have it shipped to Canada.
Could someone suggest a reputable company to buy from?
Looking for the 16GB RAM 512GB version.
Thanks!
liaow(.)com/
The site doesnt seem like much, but I bought my Oppo Reno 10x from them last year. Shipping was very fast, took only a few days to get to Ireland.
I've read good things about tradingshenzhen. I haven't used it yet but will probably buy from there.
i've bought 6 phones from Liaow excellent experience each time 4-5 days shipping to the states. i was gonna buy the mi 10 ultra, but found a find x2 pro for a excellent price. I may still grab one though!!
Try Wanda Mobile, ive used them in the past and all good to UK

I have ordered this phone to the UK thanks to this post. I have bought from China before and expect no hassle especially being in the UK (and hope any USA buyers have no problems!) but thanks for this post as it helped me made my mind up. Plus they take Paypal, and I have paid via credit, so if anything goes wrong they can get invovled
Edit: so today I had an nice email from Liaow. Just checking I know if the phone will work in my country, warning me about customs tax if they open it, just everything really. Made me very confident, they have some shipping delays due to Corona but we're still looking at one week in total. I was very reassured, the guy had perfect English and checked on things most suppliers just would not bother with.

Liaow also shipped my phone last year with DHL. I orderd and on the 8th of July I got an email from them with the waybill info and also a photo of the package itself. 3 days later on the 11th of July I got an email from DHL for customs duty to be paid, it was 47 euro. So 3 working day shipping from Hong Kong, that's what I call fast shipping.
That Mike from Liaow is the nicest guy ever. Not only did he contact me before confirming my order to make sure - a nice thing to do for international sales but not something I've ever seen before! - but he's kept me updated every step of the way with photos of the packaging, the address label for me to check and even weighing the package for DHL!
Liaow.com really went above and beyond. They even put the price of the phone as much lower than it really is for customs.
I got mine 16GB RAM from ALI BABA , seller name is "Fujian Century Sea Power Co., Ltd. Manufacturer, Trading Company"
For me, the recommendation goes to Wondamobile - 4 days shipping time from china to central europe, quick and helpful customer support and they promise to pay import fees themselves, should any arise.
I've got mine from mi4canada.()com and I have only good things to say about them (the shipping was with dhl express and it took 4 days to deliver). It's the second phone I've purchased from them.
I got mine 16GB 512GB edition from liaow.com, Mike- the site owner is the most responsive and helpfull man. I will buy one more silver tomorrow.
