I've noticed there are different SGP311 model numbers depending on the region / country.
In the US it is sold as SGP311U1, in Germany as SGP311DE and in the UK as SGP311GB.
Does anyone know if there are any differences in the specifications or does it come with different preinstalled OS version or applications?
More importantly, will a US bought XTZ work the same in Europe as it would in US?

Hi,
I'm really keen on getting a Flyer for various reasons. I've got an opportunity to potentially source one via our Hong Kong office.
Can anyone advise whether there are any differences between the Hong Kong and UK/EU version of the device?
Is there perhaps a firmware difference?
From a support angle, I'm guessing the warranty would only be good in Hong Kong, or does HTC do an international warranty?
Thanks
Iain
Bump.
Anyone any thoughts on the subject? Perhaps a different way of looking at is, is there any differences between the EU vs US vs ASIA versions (other than the inclusion of the Pen and Case)?
Thanks

The easy way to find out any possible differences is to check HTC sites. Here are the links that will allow you to do your own comparisons:
US HTC Flyer
HK HTC Flyer
EU HTC Flyer
For customer support, you can check here.
Thanks rlydiard.
I'd already read these, on paper the EU and ASIA versions seem to be the same item (and in that case probably are at a hardware level).
When I'm unsure of is at the firmware level. Whether EU and ASIA share a firmware or does the HK version perhaps not include any English language components (for example).

Since the HTC Flyer is using Android, at least on OS level, you should be able to switch between various languages, just as with Android phones. I am not totally sure if that is the case with HTC's Sense that comes with the Flyer, but if it is not the case, I am quite sure that you would have a choice of English or Chinese in Hong Kong.
Perhaps someone in Asia who already has a Flyer can respond to this thread and clarify this issue for you.
I don't know about the different between the UK version and the HK one. I have the HK one and this is what I can tell you. Its has both Chinese and English Interface. Actually, I am using English interface all the time. It has Chinese Pen Input for Chinese user. It has some local Chinese Web site but I never use it. I don't see any problem if you are just using English only.
Thanks cychan.
So it would seem that that there are difference versions of the firmware.
I've just purchased one in Malaysia - which has a English/Thai/Chinese/Vietnamese (with Malaysian/Singapore English options) - doesn't have US/UK/AU English
Thanks all.
In addition to asking the question here I did also email HTC UK with a similar question. I thought some of you may be interested in HTC's response:
"Concerning your questions about using a Hong Kong Flyer in the UK I can help you with that.
If the HTC Flyer is SIM free and unbranded it will work in the UK and can be repair under warranty at the nearest international repair centre (the UK)."
So, the only disadvantage it seems of having a non-UK/EU model is that potentially firmware updates may take a little longer to arrive depending on HTC's release schedule. However, even that would only seem to be a delay of a couple of days, rather than weeks/months.
Thanks again
Iain
Changes (that i have found):
OK ... as stated only 3 languages (1 English)
When using with no SIM the operator is shown in Chinese characters on the lock screen REGARDLESS of language selected
Youtube most popular videos are China's most popular videos
Watch doesn't let you buy / rent movies on the Chinese version

I bought the WiFi only version from the official UK HTC flyer store (expansys) last Thursday and is currently being shipped to me in Australia. I was not aware of the different versions at the time and when they told me over the phone that it will be shipped from Hong Kong I thought nothing of it.
Now I am worried it will be an inferior version to the UK version I assumed I would be getting.
Does anyone know if the pen and case come with the HK version?
And should I be worried, or am I worrying for no reason? :-s
**update**
I Called Expansys and they confirmed that the one on its way to me was shipped from HK and box contents includes pen and case. Also that it should not be any different just because it was shipped from HK, they just have a warehouse out there to supply that part of the world. If this turns out to be untrue I'll update my post again. Feeling a bit better now

Hello,
It has been very difficult to figure out what LTE bands are available. The USA version is 64gb. I have seen sellers offer the UK unlocked version with 32gb for under around $500. I rather get the UK version since it is cheaper and do not care for the less memory since there is a SD card slot.
Does anyone know what LTE bands are in the UK version? Anyone out there using the UK version in the USA?
Thanks!
They're listed here:

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.
Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk
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?
What are the differences between Sony Japanese and international phones? Are there any hardware changes apart from the software changes.Why are the Japanese ones so cheap?
There are differents i think and cheap ? Because Sony is made in Japan.
But if you take two of the same type, you can see that the Japanese phone heats up and the signal decreases. I observed it closely with several models. eg xperia 1,xz3,xperia 1iii
They're not being shipped out of the country lol

How much do you want?
Differences:
1.All JP mdel support "Felica" payment(Some NFC-based stuff requires specific hardware that support it) but global model don't have these so it can't be enabled even with JP firmware flashed.
2.If you mean au/docomo/softbank version(like SO-xxx or SOV-xxx), you might not able to use it THEORETICALLY ouside Japan or with other carrier, the bootloader is not unlockable in these model as well.
3.These model mentioned in (2) only have single SIM slots and lower RAM/storage in past days, not sure if it's the same for recent model.
Why it's cheap:
SONY is pushing carrier free smartphone forward in Japan, you can purchase the carrier free model now, but I think the model you mentioned most likely to be the carrier specific model, and that's why it's cheap, I guess.

Bootloader can be unlocked (with fee)
After some frustrated googling I feel like I'm coming up with bupkiss. Can anyone help me understand the differences between the xq-be72, xq-be62, and xq-be52?
Are they for different countries/regions?
Any hardware differences?
Would one work better in the US?
Cheers
Strictly region differences. The USA model works best for the USA though since the respective models get the best bands for their native regions. USA is finicky as you know and uses specialty bands. I have an HK model, the 72, but live in Canada. It's definitely not the ideal model but I didn't care as I got it at killer price.
This is highly not recommended to run in rhe USA tho
Which model is for the US, 62?
