Hello Everyone,
I'm currently residing in China and have purchased a Chinese OnePlus One. From my understanding the only difference is that I cannot use LTE and some 3G in America. Is everything else the same? Can I still flash any of these roms on this Chinese Version and not have any problems?
Please let me know any thoughts on the Chinese OnePlus One. I also heard that the yellow screen problem doesn't exist on the Chinese variant.
Regards,
Viper

As far as I've read the only difference is the frequency bands, you can still unlock the bootloader and flash any ROM you like. Not sure about the yellow screen issue on the chinese variant, thought it would have affected all (or portions of) all variants as they would be manufactured in the same place.
With regards to the frequency bands, the below thread is worth a look.

Hello Gsmyth,
Thank you for the quick reply. That was one of my only concerns. I'll cross my fingers and hope that there are no problems upon its arrival.

Hey Guys,
i'm still interested to hear from anyone who owns a Chinese One Plus though. I want to know their own experience with the Chinese variant.
Regards,
Viper
I am using chinese version.
I flashed almost all rom..hehehehe
I'm using the Chinese version, same hardware, everything is the same, i have touch screen issues just like half of Oneplus community. So this confirms that both variants been manufactured at the same place with the same hardware.

Personally I thought about it and decided not too especially because the x50 modem is first gen. A second gen x55 5g modem planned for phones later this year. Just wanted to get some opinions now that its being released what do people think of their current purchase.
TBH, I thought about holding off, but then the thought of 5G not being everywhere anyway turned me back on ordering a 7PRO again. So far it's been amazing. When 5G comes out I'll just see about it then. I'm interested on the pricing and the T-mobile support.
Only difference being the faster speeds... Its not like we struggling on a current 4g streaming YouTube or Netflix....
I'm good with this badboy here and now! Cheers
I hope I'm wrong, but from what I have read, the 7 Pro 5G is being released only on UK carrier EE because it will only work on their frequencies, which are different than those in the US.
The 5g version won't be compatible with Verizon's 5g I think

With huawei being banned here, i think 5g will be postponed if not, im pretty sure it will affect the timeline.
Hi all,
I just got my Oneplus 7 pro 5g from eBay, specifically the Sprint version and have unlocked the bootloader, However, I'd like to get android 10 onto the device, and was wondering where I'd go from here?
if it makes it any easier, I don't need the 5G to work at all as the phone doesn't pick up my countries (UK) 5G bands anyway so I cant use them as it is.
Sorry if this is a stupid question/ one that has already been answered I tried looking around and couldn't seem to find anything about it so any help would be appreciated
thanks
You don't. You are stuck with oos on 5g devices because os versions are different for 4g and 5g. No devs care about the 5g devices and there's no development on them which is why there's nothing about it the this forum and without an msmtool you will be screwed if you mess up!! Only hope is oos release Android 10 for 5g devices. Should have bought the 4g version. 5g is a big ripoff!

yeah hahaha I just learnt that the hard way, completely bricked the phone lmao but I did manage to find an MSM tool for it, and the only reason i bought the 5g version was it was a lot cheaper than a 4g version

I don't know where you looked for the 4g but it's definitely cheaper than the 5g version especially at this point. The 12gb/256 nebula blue version sells for about 500 on swappa.
I'm from the UK so I was looking at eBay and just buying it new, everywhere was either sold out of very expensive, so I ended up buying it refurbished from the US for around £330+£90 import
Hello,
i would just like to know if OnePlus 8 (China version) is good enough to support 4G LTE in EU, does it have all the bands required? I've read about "band 28" which it lacks and that this will be used for 5G? I don't care for 5G (yet), so my question is, will it work for everything else, is it good enough, i'm from Slovenia if that helps, i've been checking the bands, but i'm too confused to know what to think about this, those are too confusing for me, i've been checking them, but i'm just not sure, i think it should be fine, but i'm not 100% sure, so if anyone who knows this stuff can tell me, or even better, someone who has that OnePlus 8 phone can tell me, that would be great (=
Greetings
I have just ordered a CN version for use in the UK and from what i have read it lacks 1 frequency (band 32 i think) which from what i'm aware o2 in UK doesn't use .... Is this correct anyone? (Sorry if this a thread hijack)

Hi, just to be sure we're on the same page, I read that IN2010 is the international version (5 4gLTE bands support) and IN2020 is the Chinese one, which is missing one band used here in Europe.
Are you sure IN2010 is Chinese ?

Oh thx, I didn't see that one coming , so I have 2 questions : where to search for those infos (regional variants numbers I mean) and is this a software matter or a hardware matter ? (Will there be missing/China specials bands in it or it's just software)
Edit:
Are there any global version of the OnePlus 8, if so what would be its regional variant name ?

I just use google to find out a variant. The main differences are hardware related, specifically the bands of the device. There is also a chinese version of Oxygen OS which is called Hydrogen OS , but this can change easily by flashing global unlocked OxygenOS without any compromises.
Here you can learn more about the bands in each version : https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/g1rm7e/oneplus_8_pro_versions_and_4glte_and_5g_nr/
Edit: I think there is not a global version bandwise. (US, Europe, India and China as far as i know )

Check this : https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-oneplus-8-12gb-cn. It mentions band compatibility with your country's carriers.

Hi,
Thanks for all this clarification, indeed I've been kinda fooled by marketing speech...
I've bought the OnePlus 8 not on the OnePlus website but on another one, and the announce said "OnePlus International Version IN2010", I was like "cool, plus it's cheap, let's get this".
Now I understand the business behind the whole website (a French one): they buy in China, flash the global rom manually and sells it cheaper, but make a little margin on the final price. That's why they call it international, just because of the ROM!
I knew (but still wanted confirmation) about missing bands a HydrogenOS and now I fully understand the market scheme. So I'll be missing B28 band (used in France with my career for 4G LTE)and an EU-compatible charger. No big deal but I'm kinda disappointed in myself, not being able to see through marketing speech and candidly trusting attractive prices... Well, we learn as we make mistakes (and I'm not ready to forgot that one).
One last think, kil-movil had a section for the OnePlus 8 called "Global" with every bands marked as available, and the model number was still IN2010. I guess they're part of the deal, since when I clicked on "see offers" I was redirected to the website I bought it in.
Even the seller was lying as he said "compatible with every bands in France". And when people ask, he was denying it every single time
Thanks for your explanations tho, I'll be able to warn the next ones at least.

That is unfortunate. Can't you claim RMA or something?

Yup don't worry, I can return it and having all my money back but I don't think I will, my Nextbit Robin (daily driver) is dying and not having B28 4G out of 4 other antennas available isn't a big deal. I have only 50 Mo of data so I don't use 4G often. I would have been bothered by the charger but the seller claims (if it's not a lie) that he gives us an adapter. (Comments says he does, so hopefully he'll do)
Right now the only thing I have to do is getting past the disillusionment with some good music. Have you any title to recommend?
I have here listed supported 4G & 5G bands and Carrier Aggregation combinations of OnePlus 8:
China variant: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2010
Global variant: https://cacombos.com/device?model=IN2013

IN2013= EU version, not global, there is no global version.
But thx for the website, it's nice to have that tool
Is it possible to activate the VoLTE service (Vodafone ITA) with IN2010?
Hello, I have just ordered the oneplus 8 through Fnac and I think it is the version IN2010, seem like I cant find any EU version from fnac ( sorry im new in France )
