Hi,
I am looking to get this as my new phone but I realized this phone has about 3 different model numbers.
I read that the EU version TL01H has removed call recording unlike the Chinese version UL00. What else makes them different? I also see another version AL10 which is 64GB, but which ROM is this based on?
Just a little confused which is the best model to get. The EU version is pretty cheap online while the Chinese costs more but wouldn't want to lose any features.
I plan to use the phone in Jamaica and the US on AT&T when I travel.
Hi there guys..
I just saw an offer on GB for the Honor 9 at € 281, which is indeed a great price. It's the International version, they say but there's something weird.. I read here on xda a few people that ordered the International version (don't know where) that should be AL00 but received Asian version, L29.. He had to flash the international rom. It's not that I fear flashing something but I wouldn't like to buy a thing and receive another one..
Anyway, just in case, flashing the International firmware does stop receiving updates, somehow? Until the firmware is stock, unrooted and bootloader untouched it shouldn't be an issue, I guess..
More important: I read that both versions have the same identical hardware so it's natural to think that the LTE 800 MHz is missing from International version, isn't it? Otherwise what's the difference about? Just a firmware? Still it would be weird because if I recall correctly Honor 8 eu version had it (but I maybe be wrong).
Last but not least, from your personal experience, is it a good device to buy for that price? I' not so sure and I would like to wait for something new but the offer is really good considering the original price..
Mmmm it's weird btw.. I just checked on AliExpress for prices comparison and I found a device with Internetional Honor 9 but the codes to pick from are AL00, AL10 or TL01.. so neither one is Internetional version (yeah I could flash as we said)
EDIT: this is the link https://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_649021.html at normal price, there's a code for discount (if you need tell me via PM I could share, even if there are only 30 so don't know how much they'll be available). From the latter screenshots in the page it seems it should be STF something, could it be? What's that?
The only color available is the pure black, maybe gray is better as overall looking, isn't it?
EDIT2: I see you have it, STF from your signature

sorry mate I edit my post.. so basically from the link I posted above, the screenshot says STF-L09C432B100 so it should be basically as the one you have.. was your device International when you bought it?

I fear this is the International version signature, the European one (where LTE B20 is used if poor 4G signal) is FRD-L09 or L16 (32GB and 64GB).. I'm really tempted but I'm not sure now

This i my case. I live in France, last month I ordered a Honor 9 black on the website priceminister with good offert, saved around 130€ vs buying here. The seller is from China, so I thought this phone is Chinese version, I prepared myself that I will do "rebrand". I received the phone yesterday. It is written AL00 version on the box, but when I started, surprisingly there is already all Google services, and in the settings, it is L09...version, and it received an update to ...130 immediately after. So, I thought the seller did "rebrand" the phone before. I'm happy with it. Only one minus thing, the charger plug is asian type, not european type, I need an adapter

That's the same case with me. Though I don't live in Europe and honor 9 is not officially available but there are grey importers that bring in the phone from China and rebrand it. Luckily the seller did provide an adapter.
Problem is not the model strictly but the fact that only European models have band 20 (800 MHz) for LTE.. (so FRD-etc) ?
Hi Guys,
The Find X has been released in Australia, and is available from today exclusively at JB Hi-fi. The price is pretty reasonable compared to other markets at $1099aud. JB Hifi gives customers who port their phone number to Telstra in store a $200 gift card towards the phone. Many employer discount programs include JB Hifi discounts. I've just picked up my Find X Bordeaux Red for $849.00. Lemme know if you want any more deets.
Possum.
Is it a global version? There's italian language? In this case can you extract the software or maybe you have a link to the australian oppo website to download it? Thx

Yes. It's global. I just bought it from jbhifi
Is it possible to dump the firmware or something? But damn 850 AUD is really cheap that's like 550 euro's.. only thing holding me back is the China version.. In the Netherlands it will sell for 1000 euros but that's a no no while the Chinese version is around 650 euros. Hopefully we could put the global version on it
Woo-hoo! I've got one coming in the mail
I've been wanting to get this phone for a while and in AliExpress I keep seeing two variants, Indian and EU variant. What is the difference between these two?
Bump
Probably the MIUI version. The EU variant contains Global ROM when sold. I don't know which MIUI version is on the Indian but might be version of Chinese MIUI.

more importantly could be difference of lte bands as well
(I found this when I bought it in AliExpress) the Indian version its assembled on India and doesn't have an FCC approved sticker on the box, it also may have different internal components that are locally available on India. The EU/international version is approved by the FCC and its assembled in China with (probably) higher quality components or at the very least directly overseen by Xiaomi.
Heres the thing I cant seem to find 128GB EU version stock of this phone anywhere. Its out of stock or too expensive wherever I search. Anyone who has recently bought the Indian version can tell me if they are facing any issues?
I've been kind of keeping an eye on this phone for awhile now and I'm finally thinking about getting one, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding a legitimate global version. It seems all the ones out there are really CN with google play installed. Has someone from the USA managed to get a true global version, and if so, from where?
The best model for you is this one: Global Hong Kong model with US charger.
