Hi All
I'm considering getting one on a Three contract, but if I can't root and install AdAway, then its a no-go.
When buying one on contract, can we unlock it via Huawei website? Or do they refuse to unlock network supplied phones?
Thanks

I'm not sure about PhonesUnlimited but it's common for third party sellers to bundle contracts with unbranded/unlocked phones. If you wait until June for the T-Mobile version it will be network locked and have their own branding. Not a plus for me.
mobiles.co.uk phones are always unbranded and you can £50 back with Quidco.
So i can buy it right without worries?
As long you know the seller is legit you won't have any probs.
Ok, thanks everyone
I decided to go with phones4u instead as they have a better deal and i know they are credible

please give me a hand and i will waiting the answer come in
thank you for read and help!!!
If you buy one unbranded smartphone, it will not have any sim restrictions and the bootloader will be unlocked.
If you a phone to any brand, most likely it will be sim/bootloader locked, depending on the smartphone and the brand, but, some brands still sometimes sell unlocked phones (more expensive then the locked version).
So, in my opinion, you should buy one unbranded phone, therefore in the future, you will be able to change the bootloader and use any sim card.
I am on att. I want the LG g5 . I'm not going to buy the att version. It seems the tmobile and the international models get most of the root love. With your experiences what model should I be looking at being on att?
It's way too early. You best wait until they actually come out with root. If they ever do.
T-Mobile is very tricky with their SIM unlock requests too. So unless you know someone you trust who can buy a G5, keep it on their account for however long T-Mobile wants it on the account to allow for an unlock (40 days? I've heard different things), you should investigate the international SIM unlocked ones.
Exactly @waylo
I've been looking at this offer since it is comparable in price (and better than some) to any us carrier variant:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/lg-g5-smartphone-free-b-o-h3-headphones-worth-149-99.html
If I remember correctly it comes to ≈ $672 USD after a $18 FedEx 2-3 day shipping charge(w/full tracking) and $1 import fee.
Plus they include the b&o headphones and many EU buyers are reporting receiving LG branded headphones along with the b&o var!
And don't forget lg will provide extra battery with charging dock for all who buy b4 the 17th!
Hi, I'd like to purchase the huawei mate 10 pro dual sim, I live in the UK so a UK reseller would be preferable.
But it seems the mobile gods decided for the mid to high end UK market to only receive single sim handset variants.
Any ideas on where to purchase the mate 10 pro dual sim?
many thanks

I couldn't find one, all official UK resellers were single sim only.
I ended up getting an imported one from Asia and rebranding to the Euro version.
Means I'm not covered by warranty though as it was a phone from outside of the EU, even though it acts like an EU model now.
If you do get a resold one maybe try to get one from the EU rather than Asia so you have a better chance of manufacturer warranty. And you wouldn't need to rebrand to get the better compatibility of volte and WiFi calling on the UK networks. I only didn't as I couldn't find any, but that was a few months ago.
Chances of finding a dual sim model that Huawei intend to be sold in the UK though are next to 0. I think I've seen posts from people in Germany and Sweden where the dual sim EU model is officially sold.
In Romania is sold dual sim also, everywhere. Only Vodafone sell this phone with single-sim.

that's a bummer, UK always gets the worse deals, I hate shopping for mobiles
how to recognize from the packaging of the mate 20 pro (dual sim) if it is branded or not?
I've just bought huawei mate 20 pro, the seller claims it could be branded. invited him to do a check on the package of the mate 20 pro, reports that not being able to say it before, we must open it to see if it is branded. I sent an email huawei still no response. Many vendors claim to sell the non-branded mate 20 pro, so it is very strange to know it is not possible to know it from the serial or imei of the pack of the mate.
Also if I open the package I have to activate it to see if it is branded, this could be a problem to send it back to the seller.
It is possible to defer the mate 20 pro not without unlock bootloader and without root.
I need some useful information to understand if I can recognize from the package if it is branded or not brand? or or it's an easy operation to make no brand
the mate 20 pro with firmware flash?
last sent back the parcel to the seller is purchase by another more serious seller. thanks you all
