i found one site ..but im not sure 100% about it xd
https://shop.celluloco.com/product.php?productid=3805
Kind Regards

hi,
I too am also looking for the TX. I bought the T but sent it back after a few days as there was a scratch on the screen. The only thing I didn't like about the T was the location of the power and volume buttons. The power button is too close to the volume rocker (both of which is too low down on the handset). The thing I like about the TX is the band that goes around the phone and looks pretty good in white.
Does anyone know of a website etc that I can order the TX ?
Dude that website you listed is too expensive $878.00USD is around €677.684EUR. I found this one at €539.85 EUR.
http://electronics.simplyelectronics.net/search?currency=eur&w=sony xperia tx&asug=
I never ordered of the website before but I think they get their phones from Hong Kong. I'm not sure about warranty etc. I asked them before about buying the Xperia P or U as it was cheaper and they said the following :
Thank you for your email and interest in purchasing from us.
We would like to inform you that the Sony phones are all brand new items and comes sealed in the original box. All phones are factory unlocked, so should work on the O2 network. In addition, all products from SimplyElectronics also come with a 12 month warranty from receipt of the purchase.
Having said that, if you would like to get priority dispatch, please kindly call our sales line and (select option 2) and one of our sales agent will gladly assist you to place an order over the phone.
Should you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,

But even at €539.85 the phone is too expensive as the Xperia T is €449 here

Is there any difference other than size with these phones?

The size difference is marginal but there is a difference. Essentially there are the exact same phone but some design items makes the two of them feel and appear different. The internals are also slightly different producing some differences in performance.
The Xperia T Dimensions : 129.4 x 67.3 x 9.35 mm
The Xperia TX Dimensions : 131 x 68.6 x 8.6 mm
Bench mark tests show the T is better but the TX looks and feels a lot better. One is like Masculine and the other Feminine. To be honest the TX looks and feels way better but is not up to the exact same performance.
hey I found a Hong Kong website that offers the phone for a better price :
http://www.expansys.com.hk/sony-xperia-tx-lt29i-unlocked-white-236059/
With UPS to Europe its HK$4,915 or €489.401 EUR. They don't have stock just at the moment but its pretty good price.
Would you order the phone off the website ?
HI guys, so im thinking to buy Oneplus X, but i dont know if im geting the right version for europe, i cant buy from offical oneplus webiste , because they dont ship to my country, but i will buy from other websites like Aliexpress, somewhere near that price, i read that they say soemthing about google play sservices !

Also, I think the Chinese OPX comes with HydrogenOS instead of OxygenOS.
Just my 2 cents, I'm stationed in Italy and I get H+, LTE, and H
So yes, it works great in Europe on vodafone

To say I'm beyond happy with this device would be an understatement. I'm seriously considering selling my Nexus 6P. They're very comparable, and I know how crazy that sounds. They have a ton of similarities, fast camera, good battery life, stock experience.
The battery life on the 6p wins JUST due to standby time. If I use the OPX all day I'll get 4-5 SOT, where the 6P gets 3-4 SOT. But that standby time of the 6p is what makes it a winner.
When OPX gets 6.0, that doze feature will really kick it over the edge.
The only thing that holds me wanting the 6p still is the fingerprint reader and the front facing speakers... before the 6p I had the OP2, that device was horrible (TO ME AT LEAST) Fingerprint reader was crap, and the shape of the device was not comfortable to hold for a while
If you're considering getting the OPX, get it. It's a fantastic device that doesn't feel cheap in the slightest bit. It performs better than the Moto X Pure Edition (2015)

One major negative however is how slippery the OPX is, as I sat there typing that is slid off the couch (which I though was level)
It's like ice slippery. GRIPPY to hold though... while holding you'll never worry about it slipping out of your hands, the glass is way grippier than the iPhone 4/4s

well it seems great from you review, even people say camera is bad on low light, i still dont know, im considering to buy htc one m8 (refurbished ) or this, the only this which is keeping me away from buying OPX is about that camera !! However i cant buy it from OnePLus web, because they dont ship to Albania (where i live ), i need try AliExpress, or something else ....
The camera on the m8 is the worst camera out there. I haven't tried the oneplusx low light.. I'll try it out tonight and post some samples

^^This is TOTALLY UNTRUE. The M8 has an excellent camera. The ONLY downside is the pics are only 4MP. So Zoom/Crop totally destroys the image. Low light pics are pretty great too. Better than this camera for sure.
Also, just the M8. The M8 Eye camera sucks.
The M8 also is optimized better than this phone. It just flies.
That being said, I would never buy a used or refurbished phone.
The M8 also has a better front camera. Better lighting and so on. Only 5MP though.
Can someone tell me whats the diference betwen a china version vs internacional version ? since opeplus does not ship to my country, i need to buy it from AliExpress and they wil sell me a china version ?

Id check on the onplus forums in their website.. I'm sure people have asked the identical questions with shipping solutions
Worst case I can think of is you'll find it has hydrogen os which you can just easily just root and toss oxygen os on

Read the article yourself. The One M8s weaknesses are noise under low light, where and stabilisation of videos, not colors and detail, both of which come out quite well, even if you lose some accuracy. You have to remember this is a 4MP sensor. It may not compete with the Z2, but its damn good for a 4 MP sensor. Sure, 4MP is not very sharp, but plenty good for social media, as long as you don't crop. The X on the other hand will do nothing in low light. Forget noise, you'll get nothing. Colors on the X are pleasing, though less accurate than the M8. The M8 overall takes better pictures, as long as you don't mind the loss of detail in the smaller sensor.

you can contact the seller and ask them help you install the OS Which you want then will be ok

Get the 1+X 1003-version, it works flawlessly in Europe.
About the camera, i can understand why YoungSkeezy hasn't posted any low light pictures yet because they don't really turn out that good tbh. If you want to get a good camera, buy a Galaxy S6... on the other hand, that's almost the only thing that stands out with the S6
I can just repeat what all the serious reviewers tell you, the 1+X is a great phone for its price. There are better phones out there but not by far.
If you ask me, for the reasonable price the pros are:
- Good looks, slim and build quality
- Decent APU for the phone size, two years old but copes with most tasks
- 3Gig RAM helps quite a lot
- Excellent screen
- Dual SIM or SD-slot
- Close to stock android experiance out of the box
- 3-way notification slider
...and the cons are:
- No fingerprint reader
- No NFC
- Mediocre camera
- Only about 12 or the 16GB of storage is available if you use 2 SIMs
It looks like the special edition version supports the new Google Daydream VR. Articles I've read said the phone is certified to support it. I guess it has vulkan and open CL 3.2. For $79 I'll check it out.

The play store says my device isn't supported so I downloaded the app from another site. However I get an error parsing file while trying to install. So I guess it's not supported just yet? What do you guys think?

I would bet that the SD820 version supports it to. I say this as they are essentially the same chip. They have the same architecture and the same GPU, the only difference is the SD821 is just overclocked. And since the pixel XL has the SD821 but then downclocked it to SD820 speeds, I really don't see how there is a difference between the two. They shouldnt be able to say the Pixel has the SDp821 when they reversed everything that makes it the SD821, but that is the problem of the Pixel owners who just blindly purchased like iPhone users do.
The only thing we have to wait for is the nougat update.
I have the special edition btw.

The article below says it should work. Do you think I can't download the app is because we're not on Android 7.0 Nougat?
http://www.ibtimes.com/google-finally-reveals-hardware-software-requirements-daydream-vr-2444393
The requirements might also irk a lot of users who’ve already bought a flagship smartphone for 2016. The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge for example are not Daydream-ready despite having Vulkan support, as pointed out by Android Authority. Right now, the only phones that are truly Daydream VR capable are Google’s own Pixel and Pixel XL phones and the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe.

Yeah Nougat is supposed to be a requirement for Daydream VR. Also the ZTE Axon 7 is supposed to be Daydream ready as well.

I get what you're saying. I didn't mean return the phone, I meant return the Daydream until it's compatible. I have my doubts it will be compatible when it gets Nougat.

Oh by the way, when I was in the Verizon store checking out the Daydream VR, the sales rep was showing me his LG V20. We were comparing phones because he heard of the Zenfone 3 deluxe. I also had my Moto G4 with me and we put all 3 phones down on the table and by a huge margine the zenfone 3 deluxe had a better display. I guess it's the whole AMOLED vs IPS thing. Also, the V20 is known to have a more blueish screen. All 3 phones on their own have nice screens, but putting them side by side the comparison was laughable. The rep in the store was laughing and said OMG my phone looks like ****. For those of you still out there wondering what to do, hopefully this post helps you out.

Oh okay, that makes sense. I would definitely return the headset. Especially since Asus' headset looks extremely high quality. And isn't the headset just for the phone to sit in and the remote is what connects to the phone or does that Google Daydream headset have sensors in it? How comfortable is it? The thing that worries me about it is that it looks like the phone isn't fully secure in it. How secure does that hold the phone? Can the phone jostle with a quick head movement?
And I think it won't be compatible until we get the full 7.1 update, but after that, I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible.

That is awesome to hear about the screen. AMOLED destroys IPS. It is crazy to need a QHD screen on phones, though I expect that would've been nice for our phone when Daydream does come available. Oh well, 960x1080 per eye should look just fine. No matter how close I look at this phone, I can't see any pixelation on edges of objects. Perhaps I should buy a magnifying glass and then try and see one, I expect that will show whether there will be a perceived VR difference.

It appeared secure and looked nice. It felt very light. If you've put on the Playstation VR you'll know what I mean. I didn't actually strap it on, I just held it up to my face for a few minutes, but it seemed like it would be comfortable. The experience seemed good enough for just $79.
I wonder why they said the SD820 couldn't support VR. Besides the slightly lower clock speed, everything else on both processors are the same right? Same cores, just slower? Anyways, even if Qualcomm does say the 820 won't work with Daydream, I would still go out on a limb and say it will work just fine. This is with the evidence of the Pixel and Pixel XL both being underclocked to which makes it prettyuch the same as a SD820 as seen on the benchmarks.
If we have the SD821, how come we need to have Android 7.0 for Google Daydream to work?

Android 6.0 MM does not have the new Vulcan API that was released with Android 7.0 (Nougat). You could probably get Daydream VR and use it as an Overpriced, but good looking, Google Cardboard and wait until we get 7.0 on the Deluxe SE. But that would be taking a chance on them putting 7.0 on our phone, even if their is a hint of it coming to the phone (links above).

That's what I thought until I came across an article that says the Nvidia shield with 6.0 has vulkan API. So maybe it's not just the Android 7.0 from preventing this phone from working with Daydream.

Any device that is running a Nvidia SoC has the Vulkan API built into them because of the resources needed for the built in GPU if I remember correctly due to having a Shield Portable with 5.0 and it having Vulkan API in it.
Imagine having less than 400 ppi on a €1000 phone in 2019.
Yup, it's terrible. I've had an S7 edge for 3 years before this, and a Nexus 5 before that. I can say I never felt the discomfort that I'm feeling now with this phone in terms of actually seeing pixels in text, images and most of all videos while using my phone.
Since I upgrade my phones every so rarely, I decided I can't really look at a screen this bad for the next 3 years without losing my mind.
Probably will switch to a Mate20 pro at this point.
And yeah, that's that...
Why 398ppi?
I have quite a few complaints about this device after 24 hours but the screen is one of the better aspects to me. Resolution isn't everything.
Things I don't like:
No notification LED bothers me more than I thought it would - possibly because I'm not used to having Huaweis without them
Single speaker setup is a shame
Camera is massively overrated as an auto shooter (again). Can't help but feel that many of the reviewers/influencers on the free Paris trip have let buyers down.
If I turn off the fingerprint for unlocking (eg so as not to light up my room at night) there's a bug where the screen keeps lighting up to unlock every few seconds when charging, even when it's on the bedside away from any humans
EMUI is still not very attractive to me.
The Kirin 980 doesn't seem as powerful as we are led to believe. The Mate 20 Pro I had before this seemed to fall down in browser rendering VS even the Snapdragon 835 for example. Still just as jerky on the P30 Pro.
It's a nice device other than that, and I've no idea why the display resolution would bother anyone.

How come you're sticking with Huawei? Is the Mate 20 Pro that good? I also switch phones very rarely, and don't want to be stuck with a crappy one.

As I said, PPI is a big no no for me. For the rest it does what it has to do ok for me. Battery life is amazing, the cpu is fast/snappy, cameras are awesome for photos (Videos not so much, but I don't care about videos tbh) and the Mate 20 Pro has way better PPI but pretty much same specs and very similar camera.
Plus is the 3d face recognition on it, which is another plus.
Also dual speakers, forgot that, and overall, a more well rounded device than I was expecting the P30 Pro to be

Heh, I'm struggling... I can get both of them much cheaper than S10+. Not sure which way to go, photo and video is my primary concern.

Then Mate 20 Pro should be a no brainer. There's nothing that the p30 pro does better, besides selfies and 5x zoom. Are those 2 things a priority for you?
If not, then u have ur answer

And night shots? And smaller notch? And better fingerprint reader? Those are what led me to the P30 Pro. But hey, each has his own priorities, and I'm not knocking others.

Imagine having less than 400 ppi on a €1000 phone in 2019.
Yup, it's terrible. I've had an S7 edge for 3 years before this, and a Nexus 5 before that. I can say I never felt the discomfort that I'm feeling now with this phone in terms of actually seeing pixels in text, images and most of all videos while using my phone.
Since I upgrade my phones every so rarely, I decided I can't really look at a screen this bad for the next 3 years without losing my mind.
Probably will switch to a Mate20 pro at this point.
And yeah, that's that...

Actual discomfort? Are you sitting with your phone 2 inches from your eyes? In that case, I can understand your discomfort.
I checked the p30 pro and Mate 20 pro side by side at the store. The p30 pro display is clearly the brighter one. Despite checking out closely I couldnt find pixelation on the p30 pro. Currently using a mate 10 with 2k display. For sure the p30 pro display is much better than the mate 20 standard version and p20 pro which have 1080p display as well.
And the p30 pro speaker is louder than the mate 20 pro as seen on reviews online.
I love my P30 Pro as well, but I'm also seriously considering returning it for one reason: missing bands. It really sucks that the phone doesn't carry the newer LTE bands for AT&T/TMobile. I've tested and speeds are abysmal compared to my S8+ on the same network in the same area.
Can I live with it? Probably. Do I want to for 2 years? Hmm.

Dual-sim from Germany. Supposed to be missing only 2 out of 6 Tmobile bands, but so far making a huge difference in NYC.
Is it model VOG-L04?
---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------
I think you have L29 version which is missing band 66 , the L04 version has.

I can't in good conscience buy something with that big of a notch. It's as bad as having low ppi.

Yes, VOG-L04 does exist just not called out by model on Huawei Canada site. Clearly shows support for Band 66 :good:
This model is for Canada, Mexico & US (if US wasn't trying to protect Apple by not selling allowing Huawei to sell their phones here..)
I haven't had any connectivity issues where I live since they haven't even started Band 66 tmobile deployment at all in Indiana except up by Gary, IN & Bloomington. I may try to see if I can get one just to switch but that's doubtful unless I can find a non-carrier store to buy from.

They were just made available yesterday. ALL phones in Canada are unlocked, you'll probably need to cross the border to get one, through a Craigslist or something. May start showing up on Ebay soon though.

Band 66 would definitely help in my area, does this mean there's a possibility of wifi calling on TMO or ATT? Guessing not, but would like to find out. Although from the sound of it my only option is waiting for one to show up on ebay.

So, a couple of days ago my Mi 8's display cracked and looks like I'l get the Mi 10 ASAP myself.
Unfortunately it's not out yet, so I'm stuck with a RN4 a friend lend to me.
Anyone else getting the Mi 10/Pro?
What's your thoughts?

I think 10 pro will be best.
I got the Mi 10 Pro. Upgraded from my Mi Mix 2S (also Pixel 3 XL). It's a fantastic device, easily the best phone I've ever used. It's quite heavy though but you will not be disappointed with this. Both the camera and battery life thus far have been phenomenal.

Good to know man.
Where did you get it from and how much did it cost if that's not a lot to ask?
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a reliable source to buy it from and it's definitely not available in my country yet.

I purchased from tradingshenzhen.com. At the time it was ~810USD but now it looks like the price has increased to 844USD. I got my phone 10 days after purchase. It took 7 days to actually ship but only 3 to reach me from China (used the DHL express ship method). I live in the United States

To your point, I think I would have been fine with the regular Mi 10 as well, it all just comes down to camera in my opinion between the two. I plan to keep this phone for many years to come so I went with the Pro to ensure my camera can keep up with future generations of phones. But in terms of actual day to day usage, I agree the regular model is probably the more logical choice

all reviewers in YouTube have told this. Besides, camera is better in pro model. If you compare 8/256 variant of Mi 10 with 10 pro, the price difference isn't that much I think.
