Model confusion - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Ok so i am sick of searching and need help.
I have to return a L09 model due to green hulk issue. I have been scouring the web for a 256gb/8gb model that is INTERNATIONAL unlocked, that is NOT twilight in color.
IDC if its L09 or L29. i just cant seem to find one. I have heard the L00 model in china gets Gplay but, as being in the USA, i do not want to get a chinese model that can eventually say OH NO more goole play for you! Plus i use Gpay.
Can anyone link here where to find a non twilight 8gb 256 model? Preferably black?

Hey did you originally buy the 256gb twilight model?

Looking for 256/8

Wonda mobile has the 8/256 variant L29 model but only in twilight. I believe the other colours will be available from the 13/11 onwards

New screen for model PLK-L01

Hello,
i need new screen for my Honor 7 European model PLK-L01. I have found new digitizers on Aliexpress but I'm not sure is it compatible with my phone? Can someone help?
Example of new screen.

I would get them from Amazon es, fr or de.
They're compatible with eu models and Amazon customer service is above anything else. It costs more thought.

European warranty valid on Chinese M10 with European ROM?

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.

Mate 10 ALP-AL00

Hi, was looking at the Mate 10 ALP-AL00 as it appears to be available now by resellers. Can anyone confirm if the bands on this Chinese model are sufficient for Europe? And any other potential issues? Thanks.
I think that is Chinese, I believe the international is L29.

Yes, since AL00 has even more bands supported than ALP-L29 (version that will be sold in Spain, for example).
See bellow Mate 10 ALP-L29 (Huawei Alps) vs. Mate 10 ALP-AL00 (Huawei Alps) Frequency Band Comparison
https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...-mate-10-dual-sim-td-lte-alp-al00-huawei-alps
The only hiccup you get with buying Mate 10 ALP-AL00 (Huawei Alps / China) is that although it does include English language there will be few parts in EMUI that are not fully translated therefore re-branding will be necessary (see link bellow for the rebranding tool and info) to have it without any chinese language leftovers throughout the system. After re-branding is done your phone will "act" like the ALP-L29 version with all OTA's and everything working

Did you have opportunity to check if dual sim is active or it is only standby?
Can you you be more specific? When you say that parts of the OS will still be in Chinese are you referring to system files that the average user will not be using and doesn't need to care about or part of the user interface that will be interacted with regularly or occasionally.
Why!!!
I bought a ALP-AL00 like it says in the box and in the cellphone itself.... I bought that version because of de 6Gb RAM and 128Gb ROM... BUUUUUUT... The firmware says it is ALP-L29.... I checked de imeis and both are the same that is shwon in tthe box.... Why?????

Unless you are in China, that is actually a good thing... AL00s are models for Chinese market, with different software and no Google apps. The fact that it say inside the phone software that it is L29 model means it has been rebranded to international software, with fully translated apps, Google apps and international OTAs

Honestly, I don't know. I haven't had the chance to test and use it. But as mich as I've read on dozens of threads here and online, yes - it should be a good thing.

i would recommend to rebrand to bla29 aka the international version, but only possible via funkyhuawei so it will cost you 31 US $
Thanks that I Will do now just to choose The right firmware.
I think so it's more than 31$ because my boot loader is locked.
So, I'm seriously torn between which Mate 10 I want, the ALP-AL00 or the ALP-L29. The L29 would cost be about $600, where the AL00 would hit me for about $840.
I feel like I'm not a super power user so I wouldn't notice any kind of a difference between 4gb and 6gb, but at the same time I want the best.
I have a Mate 10 AL00
I rebranded my phone to L29
Will the LTE bands on my phone work like AL00 or L29?
I own an alp-al00 6gb version which is Only availble in china. Installed all the google stuff easily. And if you change the language its all English.

Same here, I bought the AL00 6gb version in china, and use it in USA without a problem. I download all the google stuff. The phone can automatically receive updates without a problem.

Yes if you are in eu you need to rebrand to c432 because the problem it's only for Europe huawei still didn't added eu country's to the list for associate the phone services with huawei ID that's why in the rest of countries in the world they don't have this problem With notifications with cn version of huawei devices
I had a honor v9 and I had the same problems In Spain then I rebranded to c432 and any more problems with notifications before that I need to have opened the apps for recive notifications

Which Honor 8x variants are available in Europe (Austria)?

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...

Can buy version 6/128 in Poland.

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?^^

Chinese or International

I've just ordered the 256Gb Reno 10X from Amazon Spain which they are shipping internationally to me. The website does not make it clear, and they do not seem to be sure, whether the one they have is the Chinese or International variant. Will it be obvious when I get it which it is - the model number on the box or anything else? How can I tell?
Amazon Spain will ship the international version usually, of course you will see what version is inside the box once you got it.
Chinese version is PCCMOO, international should be something with CHP1919 or something like this...

Thanks. I'm sure you're right. I just wanted to be sure whether it is obvious which it is when it arrives. Amazon confirmed that they would pay for my returning it if it is the wrong one.
