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

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

As I know all models are Chines, I can be wrong but I saw just L09C300/C900. Thid is code for international rom C300/C900 and this AL00... are Chines models so probably if this models have C300... firmwares yes, can be international

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
EDIT info here (post 4 and so on) https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/how-to/model-stf-l09-t3636884/page3 and here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/frd-l19-europe-version-64gb-buy-t3458943
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) ?
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.
This was supposed to be on sale in the UK on the 27th of march.
I search the Xiaomi UK shop every day and still nothing.
I emailed Xiaomi support and all they said was "keep watching the UK site"
The phones are there for one to look at. But that's all. One can't buy a Mi 10\Pro for love or money.
I have noticed that there is an Italian\French\German only version of this phone.
WTF is Xiaomi up to?
Any ideas?
PS. Yes I know I can buy the China version now.

Good point.
I was going to get the Pro version from china.
But sending it back to china has put me off.
But I still can't find a UK release date.
Today is the 5th day of owning and using it. Got it from o2 with a payment in installment for 16€ (750€)a month for the 128gig EEA Version. Amazon is selling the 256gig Version for 899€ here in Germany. I like it very much. Easy to root, wich i dont need for now, because matching boot.img is already available.
Where did xiaomi stated that EEA is only released in 3 european countrys?
i ordered mine from amazon spain
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
edited.
the most probably date of worldwide launch is 5 may or later 10 may

Amazon.es that is the best place to buy I could find , ,I m waiting to buy. Did you buy ?
Also banggood has eu variant , I m tmobile user and need band 66 as well , so amazon.es is the cheapest so far
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
