Better to get EU version? If so, where from? - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

Is it better to purchase the EU version rather than the Chinese version of the Honor 9? If so, where can I get it from? Is the main reason that the ROM has Chinese characters in it?
I'm in Australia, and all of the online retailers I regularly use sell the Chinese version.
I've also learned that the Chinese version doesn't support band 7 (2600MHz). While this isn't essential, I'd prefer to have support for this band.

Just purchase your device directly from the Huawei Vmall.

Honor 7 model versions

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.

Honor 10 in US release?

Hello, anyone have an idea if there is going to be official firmware for US honor 10? I currently have Chinese version AL10 and it does not support LTE bands on top of that it's fully operated in Chinese except for some apps were translated to English once selecting language.
Quick question that is not realated to your`s
From where you got the phone?link? i just bought one and i was told that it has full english with a few chinese
I got it from eBay. You can download rest of the Google Apk
What ebay store did you buy it from? I just got an Honor 10 COL-L29 which is supposed to have US bands. If you keep an eye out ebay has 15-20% coupons which bring the price down to 359-380-ish.

Difference between EU and Indian variant?

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?

Looking to buy this when it's actually released

I've been researching this phone and could only seem to find the Chinese version for sale. Well, I also found the Indian version on Flipkart and Realme's official website but they don't ship outside of India.
However, I am hoping to get the Global variant, which supports band 66. According to news sites this is launching on May 5th (at least in the UK) and since I live in the US I still need to find a way to buy it.
If anyone else has any info about the global variant launching, please share! I'm assuming it will then be available on alternate websites for purchase that will ship to the US?
x50 is china variant, x50 pro is global (including china) variant

the most probably date of worldwide launch is 5 may or later 10 may

Question Xiaomi Pad 5 5g Global launch

Hello, did anybody of you know if Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro 5g will be launched globally or maybe only Pad 5 with Snap 860 will be available in global version? I wan't to buy this tablet but i wan't to flash global version of Miui into it, buying model available only in China will cause forcing me to use english language in it which i don't want.
i just got myself the 5G variant.
it still has english language in it.

Yes i know, but unfortunately china rom doesn't have other languages like polish, of course i can use it in english but it would be better to have it in polish. Standard version (Xiaomi Pad 5 without pro) will be available globally, but I don't have info if Pro 5g will also be available.
ver.global THERE IS EULOPE Technical suitability

polish is EULOPE? SO 5G GLOBAL is sold.
There is a possibility
Pro version 5G version is not yet available, isn't it?
The reason why the PRO version is not released has not been clarified.
only this 5 Languages on Pro 5G

This is standard version without 5g, and it's abailable in Poland, but there is no information about launch 5g pro version there. Pro 5g version is available in China and we can order it to Poland but it will not have polish language.

Thank for information, we have to wait for global launch if it will be available globally for more languages.
Hi,
Im thinking about buying the Pro version (China / English). Is there any disadvantage to buying this version, I understand Play is installed (at least when you buy from Wonda) and I can uninstall the chineese bloatware - what about updates? Other than languages and not having china apps on how does the global rom vary from the China/English version?

I think there aren't any other disadvantages other than no play store (you can install it manually) and no other languages. If you plan to buy Pro 5g version you should look if 5g modem of this tablet would work in your country, if no you will be forced to use 4g, 3g or 2g. Other differences are unnoticeable for average user like more themes or beta updates in every week.

Is the device rooted to accommodate the play store? Thinking of getting this too but I'm wondering if the banking apps of the country you live in will work? I'm in the UK.
Google Play can be found in Xiaomi Apps Store
