Anyone know of a wrap for this phone? Dbrand doesn't make one.
I'm guessing there will be a dbrand one in the future. Guess we'll have to wait.

It's a shame this phone doesn't have it of accessory support. It's a great phone but doesn't have the following to gain wide support yet.

Not to bad so far... It's getting there slowly.
I wrote a message to dbrand last week. They aren't anticipating it because as they said to me in the email, there wasn't a large want or anticipation for this phone. The more the people write them requesting, the more it might be a possibility.

Thanks I actually did. I just wanted to be sure I would see exactly what he had experience with. Appreciate the help anyway.

Hey!
We're definitely planning to support the Mate 9, however the timeline for release is still unclear at the moment. There's a couple of new materials and other more in-demand devices which are taking priority right now, but we'll be sure to let you know as soon as the skins are closer to a final release.
Email us back if there's anything else we can help with!

Hello,
Love your products, and have had them on all my prior devices. Are y'all planning on making one for the Huawei Mate 9?
Thank you.

I got one off Amazon by Decalrus. It's very nice, the only problem being you can't fit a screen protector unless you cut it. Let me know if you want the link.
For the Europe users I found this site, will try their skin, will try to make custom one www.skinzone.eu
I emailed Dbrand about the skin situation, here is their response.
Hey Mathew!
Unfortunately not. There simply isn’t enough demand to justify the time and financial commitment associated with adding that device to our portfolio at this time. Sorry about that. Let us know if there’s anything else we can help with and have a great day!

I use sopiguard skins and they are on ebay for great prices. I did a carbon fiber one in blue for my first skin now I have one that changes colors depending on the light.
Just get on ebay and search sopiguard huawei mate 9.

Hello everyone,
There's a lot of us in the U.S. that want to purchase the u11+, but there's no official way to do so.. does anyone know of a website where we could purchase and import one?
UPDATE: 11/24/2017
: thanks to @Sammae7 AND @jauhien for the mobile Wanda and Amazon link! Couldn't find this when i originally searched on Amazon..
AMAZON
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077MLR9F...06-20&linkId=e70c2bb62fb55cf58e57281a34c3aff9
Another AMAZON (international, no warranty in U.S. afaik)

WONDA MOBILE

Update! 11/30
Adding some more links from the past couple days. Looks like there is a new Amazon and Ebay listing.
Ebay!

Furthermore, to see if the device is compatible with your carrier, @santad040 has this nice link to a table showing carriers and bands. :victory::highfive:

Ebay is the obvious one, but can be sketchy.
Hopefully Wonda Mobile gets it. They have a lot of positive reviews.

I haven't yet but I frequent the Huawei Mate 10 board where quite a few people have used them. I'll probably be ordering a Mate 10 from them soon. They have fast shipping and pay import fees.

I noticed it was up. I'm seriously torn between the Mate 10 and U11 Plus. I need to do a serious band comparison to see which might work better on AT&T in the states.

Would you mind making a little review here on xda? In this thread or another? I'd like to know your experience as someone in the U.S.

The price on Wanda Mobile says 619 GBP inclusive of tax (VAT). But if we are getting it shipped outside of UK, should the tax (20%) be deducted from the sale price? Thanks
You can buy it in china,hongkong or taiwan. the chinese model is 4999RMB（about 750USD）,the hongkong model is 5688HKD.I bought chinese version week ago.
UK version is available now with 10% rebate!

The dubious version sold on amazon by some dubious 3rd party reseller must therefore be the china,hongkong or taiwan version. It totally makes sense doesn't it.

I tried to find a Vivo nex in a shop in Belgium, then expanded to Europe... but no luck. Then I saw Ali express mentioned some shops doing pre-order. I contacted a few - I'm always afraid of fake devices when buying from China - and one shop cached my trust. Si that's where I ordered my nex. It should be deliverd in about 30 days. I'm so excited about this device. I will report my experiences once I got it.

I will test my new device for sure. Especially those things that bother me most: is that fingerprint on display efficient? What about apps that use fingerprint for confirmation or login (bank apps, safeincloud,...) Will those still work? Will the device 'feel' the difference between tapping the screen and adding your fingerprint? Will apps need to be updated for this device? What's about that screen vibration that replaces the speaker? And will it still play music without earpeaces? Then what about Google play; will I be able to install my favorite apps and will they run as they do on my other devices? In a way, it's all part of the excitement of expecting an new device...
I prerecorded mine here:

I'm still trying to decide which phone to buy this year, so many have come out or are due to come out. This phone looks interesting, I like the size of the screen, the battery capacity, the rear camera specs and the fact it's an international phone that includes LTE bands for North America. I hope to see some reviews once new owners receive their phones and have a chance to use them. Thanks in advance.

I can confirm this seller is a boss. He communicates really fast and guess what! The Oppo Find X that'll be announced in 2 days will be carried by liaow.com and he will allow me to switch my order if I want!

Also listed on Banggood and CECT-SHOP, but you can't order it. I think it will be available next week.
Yeah for me if will be the Vivo Nex or Oppo Find X. Tuesday we know more about Oppo Find X
Finaly the dream phones are coming.
High-end phone, big flat AMOLED screen, black color, almost no bezels, no ugly notch, dual camera and et cetera.

These aren't a UK based company though so may hold off and await one
So I emailed asus about this:
"Hi there,
It has been stated that the zenfone 7 pro is due to launch in Europe today (01/09/2020).
Could you tell me where I can find a link to buy the phone in the UK?"
I got this in response:
"Dear {redacted},

I reckon I may order it from the Alza website, exciting times!
Just perhaps holding off just in case a better price/sooner available option becomes available... Though can't seem to find any at all!
I'm interested in this phone too and only link I have found is the Alza one. I'm tempted by it but currently on a OnePlus, I'm not sure how big the development community will be in comparison. I'd also like to see if anyone comes up with a decent GCam port first.
Keep us updated on whether you decide to order from Alza and your experience with that site.
will it come out from Wondamobile?

I'm in communications with Arnova8G2, a developer of Gcam and they said "I have the zenfone 6 and it is very good with gcam, zenfone 7 pro already works with gcam 7.3 and more" - so based of this response I'm definitely gonna pre order the Zenfone 7 Pro! I think gcam on it will make it the perfect phone!
As for development, I've reached out on zenfone 6 thread and HavocOS. Which is inspiring that there's some good roms available for that device at least. Though worst case scenario, I'd be happy with rooted stock and gravitybox - which is my current setup for Xperia 1 ii.
Alza says "expected 14th September" but that would also mean shipping from Prague to UK for me. Could be earlier therefore, or later. I'll be preordering soon I reckon.

Hmm unsure. So far I've only seen Alza sell it, nowhere else!
I've ended up just buying a mint condition oneplus 7t pro on ebay for around the same price of this phone. It does what I want and was easy to find.

To be fair, that's a very good shout.
I had the oneplus 7 Pro prior to my current xperia 1 ii. It was a great phone, active rom development, loved the pop up camera and the gcam port made it a pleasure to take snaps with. My only slight gripe with it was the curved screen, I just wasn't a fan of it, but all in all a great phone.
As much as I love the Xperia there's just something not quite right for me about it. I know it's camera possibilities is one of its main features, but I miss the gcam and apparently (after speaking with the dev) hard to get working.
I love the flip camera on the Zenfone and do miss a 90hz display, plus with a likely more active rom community I'm gonna sell this and basically switch at no/little cost.

Think I'm settled on getting the ZenFone now, it ticks all the boxes for me.
Also, as no official UK release, I presume it will be shipped with EU charger?
