8GB+256GB version? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi folks,
Does anyone know what about the Mate 20 Pro 8GB+256GB version?
I can see it in the official Huawei website in the Mate 20 Pro Spec sheet, but I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.
Pre-orders are for the 6GB+128GB version only.
I have a strong suspicion it will only come out later in early 2019 like they did with the P20 pro 256GB
Am I missing something?
Did I just look in the wrong place?

I see the mate 20 x has an 8gb variant

thanks for the replay
I don't see it in Huawei.com nor in gsmarena

I wonder if it will only see the light of day in China?

I honestly believe that the 8gb version won't be much faster than my 6gb model.
I still have my 8gb 512gb note 9 and it's just as fast in multi tasking and keeping apps open.
I'm also gonna stay with the mate 20 Pro and selling my note 9. The mate 20 is simply much better.

Mate 20 Pro 8GB 256GB will arrive later, no question asked, most likely as dual sim which is LYA-L29 model. I spoke to Huawei on Thursday and they did confirm that 8GB version is listed but no further information on release date was available. Representative took my details and said they would contact me to confirm asa.
I am tempted to use my upgrade now and go for pre-order model 6GB 128GB and get free watch and wireless charger, but on the other hand rather than getting watch I would love to have 8GB version which may be faster in multitasking.
What would you advise? Is it worth to wait for 8GB ram version? Will it be available in UK on a contract? Shall I stick with 6GB and enjoy free watch?

I've pre-ordered the 8GB + 256GB version from Vodafone in Germany.
The delivery date is specified as "around October 26".
So it must be available already. At least in Germany.
That's as much as I can say.

An update for all.
Ive got my device yesterday.
Turns out, it is just the 6GB+ 256GB version.
I found it out while going through all the settings.
I didn't contact Vodafone regarding that yet but I definitely will.

thanks for the update mate !
until now I only saw it on sale in china
I personally bit the bullet and pre-ordered the 6GB+128GB
the pre-order sale was too good to pass, hope it will be enough.. :fingers-crossed:

I am going to wait until December to buy. I am in China and need to know the Chinese version can take Gapps.

Has anyone seen the 64gb 3G version of Samsung Tab 10.1 anywhere?

Has anyone seen the 64gb 3G version of Samsung Tab 10.1 anywhere?
Seems suspiciously missing from the market all over, wondering if I should just settle for the 32gb version if Samsung is not going to release any 64gb versions.
In the UK, the intro of the 32GB and 64GB 3G models have been delayed twice. I know because I'm waiting for a 32GB that I already paid for to be shipped. The current dates are early October for the 32GB and mid-October for the 64GB. There are definately no 64GB anywhere in the world and the only 32GB I've found is in South Africa.
ok, if it helps you .. the 3G version, 32GB was just released in Singapore (Asia) this weekend ..

Hi perrchk, you are refering to the 64GB version?
Still no news from anywhere .. going to wait till mid Oct, before i give up and get the 32GB model
Clove UK is claiming an Mid-Oct release for the 64GB model.

Yupp.. In indonesia 32GB 3G was just out last week
the 8.9" 16GB 3G is coming out launching this weekend
HI VouSDru, actually the question is on the 64GB version rather then the 32 GB version.
i'm starting to think, with all the resources at Samsung focusing on pumping out the 8.9" and 7" inches, they might not even release the 10.1 tab with 64 GB ! .. unfortunately, Samsung is refusing to comment or update on the availability of the 64Gb.

I know bro its about 64GB .. What I am trying to say is that its just a matter of time for 64GB to appear .. since the 32GB took 2 months to appear since 16GB 3G lauching
I think Samsung is less worry about the existence of 64GB .. I am guessing all the resources is focusing in fixing more serious problems of NR/Watermark issues before releasing more products
Resellers in the UK started receiving stock for the 32GB 3G model today. The 64GB is supposed to be available mid-October. I'll have my 32GB next week and I'll post differences between it and the U.S. Wi-Fi version.
I hope they will be also available in germany asap...

unfortuntely, there were scratches or dust UNDER the screen, and i had to return it .. now waiting for the replacement unit.

MediaPad X1 - when it come ?

hello
I cannot find infos when it will arrives
specsifications looks great
it can be use by me as a daily smartphone
I cannot wait longer

There is one retailer who sells it on eBay for 279,99 GBP (or about 339,21 EUR).
Beware as this a 3G version and not the 4G/LTE version.
Otherwise you can try to buy one on aliexpress dot com but this is some kind of a jungle there as prices can vary from as much as US $449.98 (even US $759 ^^) to as low as US $154.28... ^^
So you have to check out if this is a 4G/LTE version, a 3G version or ... maybe... a fake... so check it out twice about the reliability of the retailer as most if not all of them don't accept Paypal payment...
I have not buy anything yet from aliexpress so I have no experience with them : I've heard both about very positive and very negative evaluations...
I'm inquiring my banker about what options I have to be sure I can get my money back in case I don't receive the product or if it the product is not as described.
A few days ago I've seen a thread on XDA about a review of this Huawei Honor Mediapad X1 product and about the low prices, but sounds like this thread has been deleted or moved, so I can't retrieve any feedbacks from those who tried to buy it at low cost... ^^

Try the 3G version from To2c...im waiting it from there,..i bought many phones from there but its not the 4G version...in my country 4g is a myth.....and about the thread im wondering why they delete it.....im searching how to root it and this tread was full of info...now i find a german site but..its a dificult language for me.

Arobase40 said:
It just depends on your wearing... If you wear regular pants even just as with Docker pants, you can't carry it with you, unless you have a bag with you.
But if you have sport,mountain, fishing pants with large side pockets or a jacket with large pockets it's not a problem...
I've got the first Galaxy Tab 7" from Samsung (GT-P1000) thicker and heavier than the Mediapad X1 and it was very nice.
Then with the Galaxy tab 7.7, I've got to have systematically a small rucksack with me... ^^
That's the reason, I want to buy this Mediapad X1 as Samsung didn't released any good 7" pad anymore. Since the very first GT-P1000/GT-1010, Samsung's 7 inches pads are still with a crappy 1024x600 display resolution...

too expensive it s a joke.
U ll see the price when it ll be launch on US market and eiropeen market => 400 € or more
Arobase40 said:
I thought you would understand the hints in my conversation with cmcc13901753700...
I can't say for sure as I haven't decided yet where and which version to buy, but as most Huawei use more or less the same SOC (Hisilicon Kirin 910) you can have a look here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373814
or other links to other Huawei products... Ask to be sure and maybe cmcc13901753700 can confirm or infirm if this is a reliable source or not... ^^
---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------
At present time, the price on aliexpress or To2c is about US $353.99 or even cheaper for the 3G version so about 256 €, when sciphone sells the same product for 305 € (so about US $ 421 for a 3G version)...
And this is a chinese website retailer, NOT a US or European retailer. So guarantee isn't better than aliexpress or To2c as if we have any problems the product has to be sent to Chine or so... ^^

No ....To2C is ok.....i have made many orders from there for me and my family and is very reliable...im waiting mediapad for my wife now..
i hear that there was a wi-fi only planned by huawei, is there any truth to this?? i would prefer a non phone function but i will take a wi-fi only if its later available.

Thé 4G/LTE version came out officially 2 days ago in China, so you can order it on the web but they'll ship the phones only next week as the first three days of May are off in China !
For your information, the 4G/LTE chinese version should work with the. 4G/LTE networks of your countries
Can't wait to get mine !

I have been trying to buy one this week. I cancelled my order when it turned out it was for the 503L Chinese version with TDD LTE only which doesn't work here in the UK. There will be an international version 501L with FDD LTE and TDD LTE available soon which does.
All the models are
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501g
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-502L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-503L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-504L
I have not found on the web exactly what the differences are but they are 3g or 4g.
Its also called Honor X1, Glory
Have a nice day,
Looks like the 4G version is available now if: you live in Guangdong Province and want it on a China Unicom contract - so no use to most of us
However, it does look like there's a 'flash' sale of contract free X1s next week for Chinese residents. Again, not much use although you can be sure many scalpers and Taobao and Aliexpress agents will be buying them up to sell on/abroad. At 1,999 RMB ($320USD) it's only $30USD up on the 3G variant, although these are obviously local prices.
I guess it may be a month or two before they are on open sale at least. I've still yet to see the 3G version on open sale on either Huawei's own website or in local phone stores despite it being released (in staggered flash sales) for around a month now.
As for the device itself, the 3G version I got a few weeks back is excellent value. Good feel in the hand, not too heavy, and fantastic build quality. The stock EMUI was a bit laggy in places out-of-the-door but there have been 4 OTA updates already so it's clearly being worked on. I run Nova instead and it is fine. Still, it could do with moving to 4.4 rather than the 4.2 that it is at the moment. Next to my 5s, it's crazy to think this is 30% of the price for what you get. I'd put this up there with the OnePlus One (however impossible it might be to acquire one of those) in terms of bang-for-buck. Reading, movie-watching, browsing and gaming are all great and the battery lasts forever. Just wish I could move the power button but have managed to adjust my grip to avoid accidental depressions.
One thing: the Honor brand is mainly for China. I think it'll be known as MediaPad X1 in foreign markets.
The version of the Huawei Mediapad X1 4G i bought is FDD-LTE so it'll work with the french 4G networks (i'm in France obviously..
Can't wait to get this phablet, from what i've been reading so far on the web, this phone is a killer ! I just hope that some devs will start to bring us some good customs roms ! not just a cyanogen rom...
And for those who already got this phone, what about the external speaker ? it seems great from what i heard (DTS technology built-in), can we make the comparaison with the external speaker of the HTC One ?
Would be great if someone could make a full review of this phone ? I know i will when i'll get it
Really hope this is a hit so they make more. It has everything I want with 7in 1080 screen, large battery and sd card. Only problem I have is the cpu which needs to be updated. Think I'll end up passing on this one unless I could find someone that trade it for my GN2.

Launched today in Malaysia. What version?

Moto Z and Z Play have been launched today in Malaysia during an event in Kuala Lumpur.
I'm in Kuala Lumpur these day and I could be interested in buying one Moto Z if it will be the same as Indian version....
What is not still clear is what version will be sold here: 32GB? 64GB? Single or double SIM? When it will be available to stores?
Motorola Malaysia is very evasive on this... Someone has more sharp informations about it?
Before today some online retailer were selling some imported UK version here... but now?
It 64gb dual sim version XT1650-3.

Yes, Motorola Malaysia confirmed on its Facebook page that is a dual SIM too... BUT I need one before me departure on November, 14th... and I think it would be hard since of what they declared...
I've understood you had already got one...
I bought mine via online expansys and shipped to Malaysia, takes about 2 weeks. RM2320 but single sim 32GB storage. You really need the dual sim? or the 64GB storage?

Sorry I did not clarify. This morning they listed in Lazada and 11street as 32GB, and now thry changed it to 64GB. Im very sure it was listed by Lenovo Malaysia because they included the free JBL for first 50 customers.
Sorry pal but you got to keep your hopes very very low, no one in Malaysia really cares about Moto series. Try it, go to any lenovo store and ask them if they have clue about Moto Z. Looks like you gotta try flipkart india to get the dual sim 64GB.

I saw... technical level and knowledge of market of physical resellers is very low here in Kuala Lumpur: they all sell the same three/four brands (mainly Samsung, Oppo, Asus, Huawei, Yes and few other...) and have a very low knowledge of the market. None of the Lenovo reseller I contacted neither knew that Moto Z was out and that it would be sold by Lenovo resellers...
I can understand that is a new product here, BUT if you sell smartphones you have to know ALL THE market. Moto Z is out from June and on YouTube is full of review of it... how they can't even know it?
I live in Italy, I don't sell smartphone, BUT I know a lot of phones sold in China only like Umi, Dogee, e.g....

European warranty valid on Chinese M10 with European ROM?

So a seller is selling a Chinese Mate 10 but he will install an international ROM on it. The question is, is it the IMEI number that tells you the origination of the phone or the software version?
When I bought my Mate 9, it was the C636 Asia version and had no idea at the time it is not covered by Huawei UK support. So is it ok to buy a Chinese Mate 10 with an international ROM, or should I buy it somewhere in Europe where it is released like Spain or Mexico? I would like the phone to be covered by Huawei Support but not sure if they check the IMEI or Firmware version to determine if it is eligible for support/warranty.
Am in the UK.
Thank you!
It will not be covered.

Hmmm I am tempted to get one from China as it would be the 6gb, 128gb version for the same price as the 4gb, 64gb version in Europe. I works just lose the official support. Hmmm!

You will also notice some other minor issues as there is a reason the Chinese devices are separate from others. Things like GPS and the way cell signal are done are very different then in the rest of the world. I would do some research first as there are thousands of horror stories of people buying the China version of devices and things just not being dependable.

Thinking of purchasing a mate 10

I'm thinking of buying a mate 10 of amazon. I was wondering before i buy if its fully works on At&t. Buy that i mean like lte and such. If anyone has purchased one can you tell me what you do and dont like about the phone. Also If you have att and your experience so far with it. Below is a link to the phone im looking at.
Here is the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...fl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A35WDPB4Y8D904
i just bought one last week and it does work on AT&T.

I purchased the same model from ebay, working good on at&t. Great phone for the price.

As far as I know, the Mate 10 has the most complete radio available on any 'phone - that is, it covers more bands than any other 'phone that's available today (or possibly ever).
One comment I'd make is to go for the ALP-AL00 and make sure the seller can install the ALP-L29 (international) firmware onto it before sending it to you. I know all of the sellers on AliExpress will do this as a matter of course, but I refuse to deal with Amazon so can't comment on their suppliers. The ALP-AL00 gives you the 6Gb of RAM and 128Gb of internal storage that the Mate 10 Pro has, but also gives you all the benefits of the "standard" Mate 10 (i.e., headphone socket, QHD 16:9 LCD display [no worries about OLED burn-in], front-mounted fingerprint scanner and support for additional storage [up to 256Gb MicroSD]).
