Question CN Version of the Ultimate available on Aliexpress? - ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s

I hope this is not the wrong place to ask this question but I already wait too long for the Ultimate to be available... Someone gave me a hint that it's available via Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...exp_id=c2e44eed-9925-4ac5-8694-bda8bcf61d10-0
I know this a convered version and I'm not going to buy it I would just like to know if this might be a valid "source" that the phone is somehow near worldwide launch as well. Just trying to grab any available hint. Is Aliexpress a trusted shop that might really sell these phones or could that be something like Ebay scam?

Still "coming soon" on the Chinese Asus site. Probably a mislabel or hoax.

EBAY USER SELLING XDA-DEVELOPER.COM SOFTWARE ON EBAY

Hi Guys,
I just saw this on ebay and apparently he is selling FREE software available here on ebay. I think you should all contact ebay and let them know. I know someone who purchased form him and it was the same software 'masked' as his.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UNLOCK-SOFTWA...810881348QQcategoryZ43312QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
users ebay id is salosakramtrade. I think that is bang out of order.!!!!
I personally don't see the problem. We all know and support this site, if people can't be bothered looking for the info they need then surely it is thier loss if they pay for what is generall free?
Statement from seller
I wrote to this quy. Here is the answer.
Artikel: UNLOCK SOFTWARE SX66, XDA 2 2s 2i, MDA 3, M2500, +more (5810881348)
Sir,
what we sell is not the software but a detailed procedure DEVELOPED by US and support...
THERE IS NO SHAME AT ALL IN THIS!

I had an issue with ebay before with something I developed that somebody else was selling. They aren't interested in helping. I just worked on a better version for everybody that had supported me! We should have the same attitude i think, forget the idiots that waste money on ebay buying "free" software, lets develop and support each other on here.
ill bet there selling the link to the instructions and the download link if they are selling the software developed by this site then the intuectual property still belongs to this site

[Q] Buying options between within the country or buying outside the country?

I want to know what would be the pros and cons of me buying between one within the UK or one from China if I were to buy an android TV stick. I compared amazon.com to another site (visopix.com) I don't know either also if the other site is reliable. Any thoughts about them? Because if I order from amazon, it is coming all the way from China while the other is within the UK and both offer free shipping. Is it worth paying a little extra to get the item from within the country already or what?
-Cheers

Agreed.
What's most important is that you're getting what you think you're getting - not where it's coming from.
I used to own a MacBook - it came direct from China when I got it. Even if I'm no longer a Mac fan, I know that Apple is a pretty trustworthy company in that they weren't going to be shipping me a pirated look-alike or a can of beans.
I buy things on eBay directly from China all the time. I make judgments depending on how much I think I trust the seller and from reviews. It coming from China or Hong Kong doesn't mean it's a bad product. If I need it fast, I can usually find a warehouse in my country that is stocking the same thing - which came to that warehouse from the exact same place in China - it usually costs a little more to get the exact same thing because the people operating the in-country warehouse need to recover their costs, too. They're just a middle-man.

Thank you for you input. A friend of mine just recommended the other site to me and he seemed pretty happy about his recent transaction with www.visopix.com I suppose I will think about whether to settle with the middle-man or not. It's just sometimes I do not like how they do the packaging from China and I end up with a damaged box or if I want to return it and the shipping internationally usually cost more.

[Q] Ordering from Amazon

Last week i was reading a thread in here that was giving some Amazon input on when it might be available to order but there have been so many threads since, i cant find it. Does anyone know the latest news on when we can order these from Amazon? I dont mind ordering from the Playstore either but i just think ill save some money from taxes and shiping doing it on Amazon.
Advantages, disadvantages?

This is the thread to keep an eye on (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506268&highlight=amazon). The latest is nobody knows anything, rep info is not trustworthy, and there is no guarantee it will be sold unlocked OR at the Play Store price.

Where to buy, where not to buy

So, I thought I'd start a separate thread that will have the places people have seen where this device is available and how much it's being sold for currently. I got this this morning:
http://www.1949deal.com/huawei-asce...b-rom-6-0-inch-fhd-ips-ogs-screen-golden.html
Now, the link and title both say:
3Gb RAM
32Gb ROM
Oh, one thing that is very important. When you create an account with this site, they send you back and email containing both your username and password in cleartext TO THE EMAIL FROM WHICH YOU SIGNED UP. If you aren't understanding why this is important, they pretty much exposed your personal information to anyone doing email sniffing. What I mean by that is if anyone intercepts the email back from these people they have access to your account which most likely, if you've ordered from them, has your credit and addresses/shipping information. Means, they can order stuff on your card and have it shipped anywhere else.
In the end, I wouldn't order from these folks, not only because they seem really bad about specs, but because their site is really insecure in how it handles personal information (PII). Who knows how they handle PCI?
Yet, the price is $369, the specs say that the housing is plastic, and quite a number of other "discrepancies" that make no sense to me, but I'm pasting/sharing this. I imagine, eventually the pricing and the specs and compatibility will shake out based on the units that do get sold. I also speculate that the pricing will drop based on units sold.
Does anyone else think the price will drop of this device?
Could be fake, the price Huawei announced in German is something like 499 or 599 euros
be careful.
The price in China for the 32G/3G ram is around 600 USD/
Think about it before place your order
Being careful is easy, being conned is easier

Which is why I'm making this thread for people to post sites and prices they've seen.
As far as this site goes, they take payment through paypal and credit card. Either way, you're not in bad shape, not great, because you'll still have to go through the process of trying to get your money back.
Cavet emptor, right.

I posted this yesterday. It's Aliexpress.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...-Fuselage-6-1920x1080P-3G-RAM/2037325619.html
Price listed is $600-647. I think it's only the Gold 3GB/32GB version though. (pic below)

Aliexpress is a very reputable site to buy stuff. The only downside is if you bundle a few things together, so, I added a glass screen shield and a clear backed TPU case and each and every one shipped separately. They're like the Amazon of China and while Amazon can give you the ability to bundle all the disparate vendors into a single shipment, i don't think AliExpress lets you do that.

I'm still not sure about the bands/frequencies it supports. It shows both FDD and TDD, but the frequencies listed don't exactly match with T-Mobile. I guess i'll have to wait and see.
oh, tmo, how you make our lives so hard

Not disagreeing with you at all. I'm in the same boat with T-Mobile. the worst that will happen is that I'll get 3G and no 4G. Most days in most places, I'm on WiFi any way. However, it's nice to have a device that's actually supported.
Same as on 3 UK they use band 3 and band 20 looks like only one band supported
I suggest oppomart.com use them a lot, always get the latest chinese phones first and for good price.

So, it's not guaranteed to work in the US
it's not guaranteed to be compatible with the LTE networks
it's overpriced.
Conclusion, wait until they release a US-compatible version.

I think the price is so expensive because Huawei really hasn't done a full release yet. It seems to just be trickling out. The one person who said they bought one had to go to China to get it. lol. I think once it's officially released that you will see a more reasonable price.
It is up on Amazon.de at a very reasonable €499, no expected stock date though.
EU only...

I just tried it as a lark, won't ship to any US address in my book. This is also from what I can tell, for the 2Gb/16Gb version. Good luck to everyone out there. Gives me hope that the device is expected in stock then. Might be a feeding frenzy until a general release is made. I'd still suggest waiting. It's the difference between having it first, or having it at a reasonable price in my opinion.
You can use mailboxde to order from German amazon and have it forwarded to you.
Thank you

Thanks for that, should have known, i used to use a mail-forwarding site like this when I lived in Central America for my US mail. So, the EU to USD conversion is about ~$632 (give or take fluctuations in economies). Still, to me it's worth it to wait. This version is not compatible with the US-T-Mobile bands (or maybe it is, conflicting answers).

Out of curiosity, why are you selling it? It's only been released a few weeks.

Hi all,

2. What are some of the major difference between china rom and global rom?
3. Any recommendations on shippers for singapore?

1. Check the seller.
2. Main difference would be the language support. I have used other phones before. I do not see the anything less or extra. All I did was to download Google Play from GetApps store (which is in Chinese). But, I typed Google Play and found it. So, just wait for the rest to tell you if they find anything different in ROMs.
3. You have various options. There is AliExpress, AliBaba, Cect-Shop, Giztop and TradingShenzhen. I have searched online and those are the sites that people are buying phones from. I do know specifically about Singapore. But, people are saying that they have bought phones from there. Make sure to do your own research on the seller that you are buying from.
I am from Singapore and I bought mine from Lazada.

Bro i spoken to a few sellers in carousel and local shops, a few says there is a transparent for 16gb but no stock, the rest all mentioned there isn't. Checked on aliexpress, liaow, tradingshenzhen, wondamobile, none have the transparent version too. Kinda confused whether is it available.
No transparent 16/512. I think it was announced but never seen it anywhere.
