Hello, it's pretty simple in this case.
512 GB version is available internationally, is single-SIM, has fully working VoLTE and VoWi-Fi, has firmware named PCH and its global ROM is vastly superior to the Chinese one (less bloatware, very little restrictions about customization).
256 GB version is available only in China, is dual-SIM, has neither VoLTE nor VoWi-Fi, has firmware named PDEM and its Chinese ROM has some bloatware and more importantly unpleasant and incovenient restrictions for the user.
Hope that helps
More advanced answer:
Currently there's a battle on two fronts:
users try to flash the much more user-friendly Global ROM on the Chinese device but without success so far; it seems that an unlocked booloader might be required which is still a long way to go
users try to make the Global model work as dual-SIM as it actually physically has a double SIM-card tray so there is a tiny possibility that it's a very weird software limitation (breakable in the future) but I would't have high hopes
Thank you, I want / need dual sim, (work etc) so will probably have to give this a "miss" unless.......

No problem, glad I could.. "help".
No one has a clue why Oppo made this limitation, both phones (CPH and PDEM) are identical (hardware-wise), both have dual SIM-card tray but only the Chinese software is capable with working with two SIMs.
The phone is so great I might let go of dual-SIM requirement but I understand it's the decisive factor for many. Oppo has surely cut their profits by doing this and I've never seen anything like this before (phone hardware supporting it but an artificial software change blocking it).
I agree totally, it's ludicrous that this should be the case?
If only they gave users the choice? After all it's £1099 phone, it should be!?
Apparently Clove, (UK) has the dual sim version. Ceramic black only though, at the moment.

It's either a typo (misleading information), or they're offering the Chinese model with Chinese software and 256 GB storage (the latter option is very unlikely).
Remember, technically the phone is always dual-SIM. That might be the source of their information.
I have emailed them for clarification, awaiting reply!
Got the reply!

Ok, that sounds strange (or interesting, depending on the point of view). Currently, as the international CPH version of Find X2 Pro doesn't support dual-SIM, there are two possibilities:
- they're still sharing misleading information (deliberately or not) and the phone will be single-SIM
- the phone will come with a brand new version of Global ROM firmware which somehow enables dual-SIM (and which hasn't been released yet), which would give hope to other users of international CPH version.
Hardware-wise the version you're ordering is 99% the same as the ones already released in countries like Netherlands, Germany.

Yes this is very odd...not sure what game they are playing. Why would the UK get dual SIM, or some specific market. This is driving me nuts.

I might add, that until this question is clarified? I will not be ordering,
Single SIM?
Dual SIM??
it's just all over the place at the moment??
I thought i posted this here also :
Ok after some research, and reading another post in the forum, i can mostly confirm that there ARE 2025 GLOBAL models with dual sim around. Apparently the Clove is getting the dual sim.
Clove find x2 pro
and i confirm this is correct by going to the UK site of oppo...
Oppo official site
This means that's even crazier than i thought... some markets, even in the EU get the dual sim and others dont....
but just to make you laugh check this out :
Oppo says ALL their phone are dual SIM

I stand corrected!!! Oppo is really not clear on this.
As this is very WRONG
on the top of their site : it says "dual 5G" which can make one believe that it's dual SIM. But when you scroll down to "network" it clearly says "Single sim".
Uk Oppo site
So why do they mention dual 5G ?(maybe the two 5G (mmWave and the other one).
I sent an email to Oppo asking for some clarfication.
I checked all around the world which markets have dual sim (outside of China) and apparently none have it.
So i'm waiting on feedback from another member who has a 2025 but dual SIM... this is all very confusing.
just to add some more confusion (salt into wounds, so to speak) into this... Amazon UK also claims "dual-sim" in their pre-order for June 10th release. Also Orange version, 12GB 512GB.... sold and dispatched by Amazon... :crying: :fingers-crossed:
I loved this phone in PDEM version but the lockdown of the software made me switch to Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro (plus I can use custom roms). Dual SIM especially since this is band capable for TMobile and Verizon in the states. I love dual sim... if dual sim is confirmed, i'm switching back in a heartbeat... just given the facts though, I think it is sellers typo in their information. Oppo clear states on UK site, CPH2025 model, Single SIM.

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.

Do you own a single-SIM or dual-SIM variant?
For some inexplicable reason Oppo sells two versions of this phone - dual-SIM in China and single-SIM in the rest of the world.
If you own a single-SIM version, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a global ROM on your device.
It came from China and has Chinese apps, so I'm guessing dual sim

May I ask you, who did you buy it from?
Here in the Czech Republic there's a reseller who claims he buys all the phones in the UK and he offers a dual-sim (Chinese variant) of Find X2 Pro.
When I e-mailed him, he told me that the manufacturer would flash a global ROM before the dispatch and, therefore, from him I would receive a dual-SIM (Chinese) version of the phone with Global ROM.
So I'm a bit confused.
It's not out in the UK until the end of May, hence me getting a Chinese one, I used Ali Express
I suspect the global Rom will drop/Leake once the UK varient is out, I emailed Oppo who told me they are not doing a golobal ROM but clearly that's not true when you look at Youtubers etc

No, you don't. The international version of the phone physically has a dual SIM-card tray (same as the Chinese one) but only supports single SIM. ¨
That applies for every phone with Snapdragon 865 - either 5G functionality or dual-SIM.
You can't enable dual-SIM functionality on the international model.
No I don't what? I have dual sim so I don't understand what you're saying?

You might just be new to this Find X2 Pro forum, so let me know you about the situation:
It's established here that the Chinese (PDEM) version supports dual-SIM while the Global one (CPH) only supports single-SIM.
People tried so hard to modify the Global ROM so it would support dual-SIM (as it has the very same hardware as the Chinese one, even the same dual SIM card tray) but without success at all.
So the bottom line is (so far has been) that there is no way to make dual-SIM work on the Global (CPH) version of the phone.
So now if you're saying that you own a CPH version of the phone and dual-SIM works for you, it's revolutionary and we would really like to see the proof.
I'll copy here what I wrote in another thread to a user who reportedly found a Global dual-SIM version of the phone:
Ok, that sounds strange (or interesting, depending on the point of view). Currently, as the international CPH version of Find X2 Pro doesn't support dual-SIM, there are two possibilities:

Agreed. The sarcasm on your side wasn't really necessary but I'm sure we can leave it behind.
Would you mind sharing your OS version (exact build)? So we may have a chance to find out whether you have a newer firmware. You wouldn't believe how many users here (and for how long) are eager to hear about a dual-SIM global Find X2 Pro. You're actually the very first one.

There IS a physical dual-SIM card tray. That is the most incomprehensible thing - why did Oppo bother with blocking dual-SIM for the rest of world.
Maybe it's got something to do with 5G? In good sources I read that you can't use both 5G and dual-SIM at the same time (you have to "decrease" to connection to 4G on both SIMs) - limitation of X55 modem on the Snapdragon 865.

You can "trim it" down with sand paper or a dremel, that's what i did. But even then with various codes like *#800#* etc... you can't enable the dual sim.

Now, you @Stunna903 i'm interested in your phone, but i have some questions for you :
1. Where did you buy your phone? (online, physical shop?) -> ok just saw you got it on jd.com
2. Have you tried to change the Launcher on your phone (like installing Nova, etc.) and does it work. If you ADB unistall the launcher on the chinese version you lose the gesture controls at the bottom of your screen.
3. what language choices do you have ?
you are running A.18 which is the UK ROM... so please, i'm very interested in your phone, where you bought it, if Volte and wificalling are working...
As this is amazing for me. We had both phones in our hands Chinese and Global version, we tried EVERYTHING to port the Global to the Chinese, enable dual sim on the Global.
This could mean, depending where you bought it, that there is a specific market where they sell the X2Pro with global dual SIM... and that, might interest me A LOT.

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 (=

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 )

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

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:

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 )
My question is do you know any others site selling op8 EU version if not, does the IN2010 work fine in france?
Hello XDA people,
I am looking for a trusted source to get LE2113 (global/EU) variant of OnePlus 9, specifically looking for 12GB RAM 256GB storage size, that can ship to Canada or US (I live in Canada). All official OnePlus websites in Europe only can ship within Europe. AliExpress's official OnePlus store has a similar problem too when ordering the EU version. Anyone know or have bought this variant and got it shipped to Canada/US, and from where?
I tried this website: https://www.teknistore.com/en/64-bi...isplay-android-11-48mp-camera-warp-charg.html, but I got a feeling it is a scam from the reviews on the website in general.
Thanks.
You may want to check the radios on those to make sure that they're compatible with your provider. The EU version doesn't have the same radios as the North American version. The NA version actually has MORE radios.
Unless the extra RAM and storage are important to you, I'd just get the NA version an you can convert it to the EU ROMs.

The EU version has most of the network support in US/Canada (it supports all of the networks of the carrier I am using here in Canada - I am using Freedom Mobile). The reason I want the global/EU variant is because of the dual SIM support.
what country are you in?

I mentioned that in my previous answer. I live in Canada, and I am using Freedom Mobile. I checked Kimovil for the network bands support, and my carrier has 100% support (not all phones have that, especially band 13). In fact, this phone has green everywhere with good support, so I believe it will work great with most networks across US/Canada, hence why it is a global version.
Yeah... eBay.
They got one on there for $550 right now

Can you send me the link to the product in eBay? I want the LE2113 (EU/Global) version, not the LE2110 (CN) [with global ROM] version, or any other version?
It's the single sim TMobile version.
Why don't you want the Chinese one? That's what I got. I think it's the best one. And Ive had every OTA on this device. AA, BA and Da...

The problem is with the network support. Check Kimovil for the CN version vs Global version vs NA version vs IN version. NA version has the best network support overall and in North America. Global version falls slightly short, but I want that due to having dual SIM support, so I can tolerate a bit loss of network support over no dual SIM (if NA has eSIM at least, I'd get it, otherwise forget getting a single SIM phone). CN is super ****ty version because of the lack of many network bands support in global and in North America, as well as missing the wireless charging (wireless charging is not that important for me now). IN version is even ****tier in all of the things I mention before.
This is my reasoning to get a LE2113 (global version) instead of the other versions. I have a global version OnePlus 3, and back then the networks are fine since, for example, bands 4 and 7 were heavily used everywhere, but now they seem to be discontinued in many places, and I would need a phone with band 13 (long distance frequency) to get a signal in many areas (at my home, it is always in roaming now).
