Hello,
My dad will be in flight to China in a few days, he will be in ShenZhen where I heard there is a big mall for electronics shopping, great for buying Honor 9.
So I have a few questions, Can he buy Honor 9 that is unlocked and in English? and, What should I provide him with the details of the phone? the EU model number? (where I live)
Any tips and advices would be most welcomed,
Thanks

First tip is, Chines models isnt too much compatible with Goole apps. Probably isnt too fully translate to english. Chines fimrwares is different how EU.

Better buy the EU model. Chinese model will give you problems if you're not chinese.

Hmmm yeah, I know think about ordering it from Aliexpress, the price will go up in about 40 to 50 dollars but that phone won't be sold in my country anyways because I am kinda in the EU and kinda not, we buy the same smartphone model as the EU one.
As a Chinese, I do not recommend you to buy a China model of Honor 9 since you may have some issues with Google Play services and EMUI English UI... Google Play is the biggest issue by far with China models.

Are you sure? Hong Kong is like another country, it has western products and is pretty western by itself although it is in China and is connected to China it is still like another country.
I am pretty sure the smartphones there have google play, although to be sure I want to wait for the chinese guy's answer on this matter.

I believe it is not officially sold in Hong Kong for Honor 9? Probably you will get a China model there as well...
If you go for Xiaomi, sure you can buy a good Xiaomi with working Google Play Services in Hong Kong.
That's what I thought of.

There are lot of chinese websites (or Aliexpress) where you can find the chinese version of Honor 9. Which main difference (and interest) is having 6GB of RAM.
However, regarding warranty you will still have to depend on chinese warranty
If you put the EU ROM, you may lose that warranty in case of having to use it... I'm not meaning I wouldn't do it if someone was going to China (because I would). But just think it before buying.

I plan on purchasing a mi5 device once it becomes available. My question is where is a legit place to buy it online? There are plenty of fakes out there and I don't wanna be bamboozled into buying a fake. Was browsing through the xiaomi.com site and they didn't even have the mi4 device but had everything else so I'm doubting it will have the mi5 once it drops. Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks.

Hello musamaashraf, I'd love to answer your question! The Honor 5X update is a staged rollout, meaning not everybody gets it at once. We send out the update in daily random batches and the first batch went out last week. Please be patient as it will make it to you. We want you to enjoy Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and not have any issues. We appreciate you and we're happy to have you on Team Honor. (ED)
i have the same build and i need the update

I think that there is a some racism, otherwise why the europeans and americans enjoying with marshmallow since two months while we are in middle east suffering from pain of waiting. Is this fairer?
Every time honor keep saying that we get this update very soon but unfortunately no bostive action as if we are asking for Android 7 I believe this update will never released

I believe 'racism' is a bit too strong a word in this situation, but I do nevertheless think that there's neglect for the C185 KIW-L21, which I presume has to have similar hardware to its European cousin bearing the exact same model number.
Other aspects worth noting is how Huawei is selling the Honor 5x at a much higher price in the gulf states than in other countries (US, India), knowing that there's little import tax and no VAT!
Otherwise, it is still a great phone.

Even the Honor 8 Nougat Beta was 200 devices per Country, i was pretty annoyed when i read that 100 devices part. They should at least put out a list of countries eligible for the Beta. So far there are no projects on my BKL-L09 View10 in Germany.
