Hi,i have an mate 10 alp-l29 with middle east branding C185 bought in Kuwait.
I contacted Huawei Netherlands how about warranty...
Answer :since the phone is not being sold in netherlands (only lite and mate pro )they don't have spareparts for it .
I have warranty,however but in Kuwait.
So in case of problems i must send it to Kuwait
In whicjh european countries is the mate 10 being sold (close to netherlands) ?
Maybe i will rebrand it to european branding so i can send it to there in case of warranty.
I think they use IMEI
yeah,ur right..rebranding will not help me.
UK is the closest maybe Germany

Bla-L29 is Germany and Bla-L09 is NL, i have a NL Version from Mate Pro, bought on ebay
P.S. if you rebrand/flash the Phone do you have void the warranty
Right now the only official version of the Mate 10 (not PRO!) is available in Spain.
It's a BLA-L09 with C432 firmware and has warranty in Europe.

Spain. They are selling both black and brown versions and both 4GB RAM _ 64GB storage and 6GB RAM _ 128GB storage versions (ALP-L29, dual sim):

Rebranding won't allow you to use Huawei service centres in Europe, since you won't be able to "trick" the part which relates to IMEI number
Before I bought my Mate 10 (currently I already sold it and moved to Galaxy S8+ due to lack of any custom roms for Mate 10) in UAE, Abu Dhabi, I made inquiries to local Huawei support here in Latvia (EU) in order to understand Huawei warranty policy regarding phones bought in different part of the world, and they said the following regarding phone bought in UAE and Spain which was also an option I was considering:
A device purchased in the United Arab Emirates will be covered by Huawei warranty in all Huawei service centers located in the region (Middle East region)

and the following regarding Huawei phone bought in Spain (part of EU):
Huawei products purchased from official distributors in Europe will be covered by Huawei warranty in all Huawei service centres located in all European countries, which means that if you buy it in Spain it will be possible to carry out warranty repairs in Latvia authorized Huawei service center.

It all makes sense.

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.
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
Luca

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
I know the European p20 pro volte works on T-Mobile USA, do any European firmwares for the mate 10 pro work with T-Mobile USA volte?
I'm concerned about us region not getting updates.
Currently I'm on BLA-A09 c567
Same here. USA versions are lagging WAY behind other variants in terms of updates. I wonder if this has to do with the USA government recommending against Huawei devices. Is the Huawei saying F U back to the USA?
I would assume that is certainly the case. They have probably given up and do not feel any necessity to service a lost market.
I have given up any hope of getting any future huawei flagship devices here, hopefully will still be able to import them from europe if they they are not completely banned and that volte will work.

I've got the same issue and I spoke to Huawei US and they said we are getting the updates on July.... I initially believed it was an FU to the USA about VoLTE not working on the international brand of the phone while it works just fine on the P20 but now I believe that's pure sales strategy. Since there is no USA version of the P20 Pro, of course they can allow VoLTE to work out of the box in the USA. But since there is a us version of the Mate 10 Pro, they likely need to differentiate to sell more USA versions. That's my 2 cents. I'll be curious to see if these updates come in July as I was told.
Lastly - the most frustrating thing about Huawei is they say it's not them limiting the international version of the phone with VoLTE in the USA (BLA-L29) but it's the carrier. But we know this is complete bull**** because there is a carrier file on the International phone and US VoLTE is turned off. If you root your phone, you can turn it on and it works just fine. Not sure why they just can't be honest...

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/)
Inviato dal mio JSN-AL00a utilizzando Tapatalk
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?^^
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
Wait for next week, Vivo European presentation is due on next Tuesday
Thanks. Where did you see that? I would like to watch if I can.

That's for Italy but it is the same for France, UK, Germany, Poland, Spain ....
Check Instagram
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
