Which Honor 8x variants are available in Europe (Austria)? - Honor 8X Questions & Answers

I currently own a 5x and I am thinking of upgrading to an 8x.
Now all the news state that there is a version with 128GB of internal storage and 6GB of ram. But for some reason, I can't seem to find a single place that sells the version with 6GB.
Does anyone know where to find information about which variants are available where?
Cheers

Hi,
for Italy and Europe is Honor View 10 Lite (https://en.gizchina.it/2018/10/honor-view-10-official-lite-technical-sheet-price-output/)

Thanks for the reply, interesting to see the phone rebranded for Italy.
But I can buy the Honor 8x in Austria, that's not the issue here. I can't find any information if or why the 6GB Ram version is not available here.
All the tech sites i have checked list the specs with Ram: 4/6GB and then don't say anything of where which one is available

For EU only models 4Gb/64GB for now and yes, it's a 8X branded.
I have bought my from VIP operator JSN-L21, Region C432

But in which countries is the 6GB version available? I'm interested to buy one, but here in Austria I can only find the 4BG one listed.

For now, only Asia markets have 6/128 and above...

I can buy it too in Serbia but they are made for Asia market

That is an interesting information. Not sure why this is not mentioned anywhere. But still kinda funny, what makes them think that they have a greater need for ram than others?^^

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.

Mate 10 ALP-AL00

Hi, was looking at the Mate 10 ALP-AL00 as it appears to be available now by resellers. Can anyone confirm if the bands on this Chinese model are sufficient for Europe? And any other potential issues? Thanks.
I think that is Chinese, I believe the international is L29.

Yes, since AL00 has even more bands supported than ALP-L29 (version that will be sold in Spain, for example).
See bellow Mate 10 ALP-L29 (Huawei Alps) vs. Mate 10 ALP-AL00 (Huawei Alps) Frequency Band Comparison
https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...-mate-10-dual-sim-td-lte-alp-al00-huawei-alps
The only hiccup you get with buying Mate 10 ALP-AL00 (Huawei Alps / China) is that although it does include English language there will be few parts in EMUI that are not fully translated therefore re-branding will be necessary (see link bellow for the rebranding tool and info) to have it without any chinese language leftovers throughout the system. After re-branding is done your phone will "act" like the ALP-L29 version with all OTA's and everything working

Did you have opportunity to check if dual sim is active or it is only standby?
Can you you be more specific? When you say that parts of the OS will still be in Chinese are you referring to system files that the average user will not be using and doesn't need to care about or part of the user interface that will be interacted with regularly or occasionally.
Why!!!
I bought a ALP-AL00 like it says in the box and in the cellphone itself.... I bought that version because of de 6Gb RAM and 128Gb ROM... BUUUUUUT... The firmware says it is ALP-L29.... I checked de imeis and both are the same that is shwon in tthe box.... Why?????

Unless you are in China, that is actually a good thing... AL00s are models for Chinese market, with different software and no Google apps. The fact that it say inside the phone software that it is L29 model means it has been rebranded to international software, with fully translated apps, Google apps and international OTAs

i would recommend to rebrand to bla29 aka the international version, but only possible via funkyhuawei so it will cost you 31 US $
Thanks that I Will do now just to choose The right firmware.
I think so it's more than 31$ because my boot loader is locked.
So, I'm seriously torn between which Mate 10 I want, the ALP-AL00 or the ALP-L29. The L29 would cost be about $600, where the AL00 would hit me for about $840.
I feel like I'm not a super power user so I wouldn't notice any kind of a difference between 4gb and 6gb, but at the same time I want the best.
I have a Mate 10 AL00
I rebranded my phone to L29
Will the LTE bands on my phone work like AL00 or L29?
I own an alp-al00 6gb version which is Only availble in china. Installed all the google stuff easily. And if you change the language its all English.

Yes if you are in eu you need to rebrand to c432 because the problem it's only for Europe huawei still didn't added eu country's to the list for associate the phone services with huawei ID that's why in the rest of countries in the world they don't have this problem With notifications with cn version of huawei devices
I had a honor v9 and I had the same problems In Spain then I rebranded to c432 and any more problems with notifications before that I need to have opened the apps for recive notifications

Xiaomi Mi 9t Pro - global release

According to GsmArena (https://gsmarena.com/xiaomi_mi_9t_pro_aka_redmi_k20_pro_goes_on_preorder_in_europe-news-38581.php) and many others, the global release (or European model, at least) is in pre order in online seller Belsimpel (https://www.belsimpel.nl/xiaomi-mi-9t-pro/64gb-blauw).

A few months too late, really strange move from Xiaomi : why didn't they launch it at the same time as the "Mi 9T"?? Plus, rebranding from Redmi to Xiaomi in Europe is a bit strange imho. Do they think we in Europe don't read the worldwide news? Additionally, they won't release the 8/256 version.
Btw, I wonder what will happen to the Mi 9 with a price that close...the real difference is the camera which seems better (to be honest even my Mi 8 takes better pics vs. K20 Pro).
Also I think its a little bit priced.
I'm not sure if I'll buy, long time waiting to be this difference.

You can import it from China (6/64 version) around 315 euros tax free and shipping included, and they're gonna sell it here for 430 euros? It will have a Global ROM for sure, lets see if its the same one as the India ROM (POCO launcher included) or not but still...
Btw i think if Europeans want to wait for a new phone they should wait for the Mi Mix 4. The 3rd was a bit of a flop because specs were too close to the Mi 8 which was great, lighter and cheaper but the Mix 4 specs will be spectacular according to rumors. Wait and see!

A lot of people doesn't want to import, and also the main problem is the warranty, people prefer to have a local store where they can go if the phone have an issue.
But anyway, for my part I will buy it on Aliexpress soon
If you want to push further the comparison, in the official Xiaomi China store, the 6+128gb is at +-290€

Xiaomi has already mentioned that if the phone comes with China firmware, it will be locked on China firmware. Only when the bootloader is unlocked it can be flashed to global firmware. This is the same with phones that come with global firmware

Thanks for confirming. Thats a bad policy. As long as the firmware is official, they should allow us to lock bootloader and use find device feature.

You shouldn't be buying phones that weren't meant for your country anyways. Xiaomi wants their chinese phones to be only sold in China and the global variants for outside of China.

As far as I can tell there has been no official launch of the phone, so nothing has been confirmed either way. There was the small announcement last week that it will be available in the Benelux region from the 20th, but it gave no specifics. Since then all we're seeing is the phone suddenly appearing for sale in various European websites. So far there doesn't appear to be any 8GB model being sold anywhere.
Even though the Mi 9 had 8/128 and 8/256 options in China, they were never made available on the global version, so it wouldn't be surprising if it turns out to be the same with this one.

Band 20

Hi. Does anyone know if there is a global version of the x50 pro with band 20?
Really struggling to find one.
Thanks
Yes, most countries except china and some other countries sold the X50PRO with b20. For example Hongkong seller "wondamobile". You can order it for ~680€ there. A bit to expensive for me. Hope to get it about 500 € in future. If anyone other knew's other adresses for order the b20 global version, please post it here.
Thanks, was unsure. I've seen it on bludiode for cheaper, but possibility of vat charges as they come from China.. think it was £517 for the 256gb version
I ideally want the pro + but they have no band 20

the new european version (x51) has b20. But it's not cheap. Around 800 eur so far.
You can find X50 Pro Global on Wondamobile (India or HK model) for 660 euro with band 20
does anyone have the global version in the US of the X50 pro
