Hi guys,
does anyone knows where i can find another additional side rubber tip replacement?
Apart for the extras bundled, I doubt you can get them anywhere. Probably only from Asus.

Your best bet is to ask the shop where you bought the phone or get in touch with the dealer.

With the 8GB/128GB variant here in India, we didn't get extra of these rubber tips.

I'm not surprised. 8GB RAM and 128GB version is called Tencent version and that one is a cheaper version of Asus Rog phone 2 so it does not come with all premium stuff that the global/elite edition does.

Actually, The 8gb/128GB version released india is not a Tencent Version. its a ROG version.
The Tencent Version is only for the Chinese Market. The tencent Version also comes in 12GB Ram/512GB Flavors.
I emailed Asus about the rubber tips and have yet to hear back from them

Wrong, tencent is apparently available in China, India, USA and few more countries and only comes with 8GB/128GB according to Asus and all the googling results and that is Rog phone 2 still. While Global is elite edition of Rog phone 2.
Only global version comes with 12GB/512GB.
So far I have not found any site or a video showing tencent version with 12GB and 512GB.

I don't use VPN and Google hasn't given me any proof of tencent with 12GB/512GB and I doubt that banner image is really tencent version. Secondly when I Google up Asus rog phone 2 tencent version. I get over 20 results about tencent version with 8GB/128GB but 0 results of 12GB/512GB so I still think that banner picture is misleading or they possible just cheated a bit by using same phone picture.
If you check etc YouTube you will find all sorts of people reviewing tencent version from USA, India and much more. Unless they bought theirs off China market.
Not last but least, Asus has no official statement about tencent having 12GB/512GB storage but they do have statement off 8GB/128GB Tencent version
Asus has also gone out with a warning on their forum stating that there is unofficial tencent versions being sold in China market, that comes with WW ROM instead of CN ROM and stuff like that. So again 12/512GB versions is most likely a unofficial version of tencent as well.
Also I'm not here to hijack the OP topic. So I'm going to end here and let the OP continue with his main reason to his post.

That is precisely what is happening throughout the world, with myself included. I bought the cheaper tencent subsidized version.
There's even a thread with a guy that got both the 8gb and 12gb tencent versions and was comparing LTE bands. Everything is fake?
The tencent versions were only in china, malaysia, and few other markets. If you see it somewhere else, its imported. That banner was taken from Asus Official announcement in china back in june or so.
Announcements for the Chinese market are sometimes done through other channels for example Weibo or other news outlets.
Again, if you see a tencent CN model, it came from the Chinese or SE asian market. That variant was never sold by asus USA directly. Anyway, I'm unsubscribed to this thread now.

There is one retailer who sells it on eBay for 279,99 GBP (or about 339,21 EUR).
Beware as this a 3G version and not the 4G/LTE version.
Otherwise you can try to buy one on aliexpress dot com but this is some kind of a jungle there as prices can vary from as much as US $449.98 (even US $759 ^^) to as low as US $154.28... ^^
So you have to check out if this is a 4G/LTE version, a 3G version or ... maybe... a fake... so check it out twice about the reliability of the retailer as most if not all of them don't accept Paypal payment...
I have not buy anything yet from aliexpress so I have no experience with them : I've heard both about very positive and very negative evaluations...
I'm inquiring my banker about what options I have to be sure I can get my money back in case I don't receive the product or if it the product is not as described.
A few days ago I've seen a thread on XDA about a review of this Huawei Honor Mediapad X1 product and about the low prices, but sounds like this thread has been deleted or moved, so I can't retrieve any feedbacks from those who tried to buy it at low cost... ^^

It just depends on your wearing... If you wear regular pants even just as with Docker pants, you can't carry it with you, unless you have a bag with you.
But if you have sport,mountain, fishing pants with large side pockets or a jacket with large pockets it's not a problem...
I've got the first Galaxy Tab 7" from Samsung (GT-P1000) thicker and heavier than the Mediapad X1 and it was very nice.
Then with the Galaxy tab 7.7, I've got to have systematically a small rucksack with me... ^^
That's the reason, I want to buy this Mediapad X1 as Samsung didn't released any good 7" pad anymore. Since the very first GT-P1000/GT-1010, Samsung's 7 inches pads are still with a crappy 1024x600 display resolution...

I can't say for sure as I haven't decided yet where and which version to buy, but as most Huawei use more or less the same SOC (Hisilicon Kirin 910) you can have a look here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373814

At present time, the price on aliexpress or To2c is about US $353.99 or even cheaper for the 3G version so about 256 €, when sciphone sells the same product for 305 € (so about US $ 421 for a 3G version)...
And this is a chinese website retailer, NOT a US or European retailer. So guarantee isn't better than aliexpress or To2c as if we have any problems the product has to be sent to Chine or so... ^^

Thé 4G/LTE version came out officially 2 days ago in China, so you can order it on the web but they'll ship the phones only next week as the first three days of May are off in China !

I have been trying to buy one this week. I cancelled my order when it turned out it was for the 503L Chinese version with TDD LTE only which doesn't work here in the UK. There will be an international version 501L with FDD LTE and TDD LTE available soon which does.
All the models are
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-501g
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-502L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-503L
Huawei MediaPad X1 7.0 7D-504L
I have not found on the web exactly what the differences are but they are 3g or 4g.
Its also called Honor X1, Glory
Have a nice day,
Looks like the 4G version is available now if: you live in Guangdong Province and want it on a China Unicom contract - so no use to most of us
However, it does look like there's a 'flash' sale of contract free X1s next week for Chinese residents. Again, not much use although you can be sure many scalpers and Taobao and Aliexpress agents will be buying them up to sell on/abroad. At 1,999 RMB ($320USD) it's only $30USD up on the 3G variant, although these are obviously local prices.
I guess it may be a month or two before they are on open sale at least. I've still yet to see the 3G version on open sale on either Huawei's own website or in local phone stores despite it being released (in staggered flash sales) for around a month now.
As for the device itself, the 3G version I got a few weeks back is excellent value. Good feel in the hand, not too heavy, and fantastic build quality. The stock EMUI was a bit laggy in places out-of-the-door but there have been 4 OTA updates already so it's clearly being worked on. I run Nova instead and it is fine. Still, it could do with moving to 4.4 rather than the 4.2 that it is at the moment. Next to my 5s, it's crazy to think this is 30% of the price for what you get. I'd put this up there with the OnePlus One (however impossible it might be to acquire one of those) in terms of bang-for-buck. Reading, movie-watching, browsing and gaming are all great and the battery lasts forever. Just wish I could move the power button but have managed to adjust my grip to avoid accidental depressions.
One thing: the Honor brand is mainly for China. I think it'll be known as MediaPad X1 in foreign markets.
The version of the Huawei Mediapad X1 4G i bought is FDD-LTE so it'll work with the french 4G networks (i'm in France obviously..
Can't wait to get this phablet, from what i've been reading so far on the web, this phone is a killer ! I just hope that some devs will start to bring us some good customs roms ! not just a cyanogen rom...
And for those who already got this phone, what about the external speaker ? it seems great from what i heard (DTS technology built-in), can we make the comparaison with the external speaker of the HTC One ?
Would be great if someone could make a full review of this phone ? I know i will when i'll get it
Really hope this is a hit so they make more. It has everything I want with 7in 1080 screen, large battery and sd card. Only problem I have is the cpu which needs to be updated. Think I'll end up passing on this one unless I could find someone that trade it for my GN2.
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.

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.
My kate has been with me faithfully more or less since day one, have replaced the screen twice, replaced the charging port once and still she is rocking
The upcoming NOTE 5 pro has caught my attention SD636 and will work out £145 roughly with the 20% reduction on Aliexpress for the gold version (not too bothered about the colour)

Is it time to upgrade and if so is it a viable upgrade?
China version was only release today.
Your link is a place holder listing, that has been up for about 2 weeks.
No global rom available yet and link say supports Band 20 etc, that particular device has not been announced yet.
If you order from there you will probably get the china/Indian version with a vendor rom.
See https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/ for latest on that particular device!

The China/Global version will have support for Dual Sim use, so that is the Indian version or the listing are not fully accurate for the device.

You won't know what version it is till you get it.
Check the specs against this spec list.
Already point out one error in the listing that makes it sound like it is the Indian version.
And back camera specs is for Indian version: - Back camera 12.0MP f/2.2 + 5.0MP f/2.0
As your using a Kate, I assume you would need the global version for EU bands (3,7 and 20). Wait till the global version is release.
Its definitely the Chinese version look at the delivery time the phone is not due out for another month or so
Also it is the global version
BUYER BEWARE!
Another error in the link provided, states android 7!
Chinese version comes with Oreo 8.1!
Also the linked store is not an official xiaomi store.
They also updated the listing with: -
Tips: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Global Version has not arrived, it is pre-sale for now.

Look I know you mean well
See this article to clear up the confusion: https://www.review-hub.co.uk/redmi-note-5-review/
Trust me its the chinese version, its the global version, it will come shipped with Oreo
Anyway back on topic what do you think?
@gap30 Your article has not told me anything new.
They may well ship the global version.
I intend to purchase it from a more reliable store, probably from one that provided VAT Free DHL Shipping to EU!
For example Hong Kong Goldway or Mi Global Store.
Both stores also have pre-orders up, with limited listings, or inaccurate for global device.
Or a retailer with EU Warehouses.
Your particular store, i have a bad taste from, they use to label themselves as Xiaomi Authorized Store before.
My Kenzo is still performing well, so I will wait until July/August to purchase. By then the prices should have stabilized.
Also we will have a better picture of Custom Rom Support. But for a device that has Oreo and Treble support, i don't see a problem in that matter.
Well initial reports seem fairly positive on the CPU: https://www.androidcentral.com/xiaomi-redmi-note-5-pro-benchmarks-snapdragon-636a
Edit
@gap30 Did you manage to pre-order one at the sale price? Within an hour the price return to the full amount. So I say they didn't offer many at the sale price.
It is also available pre-order from Mi Global Store for a similar price with VAT free shipping.
^^^^ Pre-order at your own risk, does not list full specs or Bands supported.
So here's the thing I want the pro version of this phone... But I have no idea where to buy from.
There's so much conflicting reports about global versions... And local versions...
Firstly I feel the posted price for the European phone is insane... A massive markup from the Indian and Chinese version. But truth be told I've yet to actually find a reputable EU /UK based seller...
So far I've only found the dodgy shops that import from China. So I have no idea if I'm really getting a 9t pro with b20 and widevine/windvine? Support and a locked bootloader... Yes I bank on my phone... Or a hacked global rom k20 that doesn't have these things.
I've also heard that the Indian k20 pro does have all this support but there's no hard facts in it...
I live out in the country so I can't live without b20. And I bank on it so I can't use a hacked rom.
So where am I meant to buy this phone from at a reasonable price?
Amazon Spain or Germany
Have a look at this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/help/9t-pro-8-256-varient-t3964710
It looks like there are some sellers now selling the official global version, as opposed to the European version. The global version comes with the 2 higher 8GB RAM variants that are missing from Europe. They also seem better priced than the European phones.
It might be worth waiting a while to see the feedback from people buying from the sites mentioned. The OP in that thread has a site that certainly looks like it's the genuine article that is listed.
As for the Indian model, it is physically missing the NFC hardware, so probably won't be a viable option for you

The store in first post in that thread appears to be selling a legitimate global Mi 9T Pro. It claims it has B20 and comes with official global MIUI factory installed. They say it is sent factory sealed, they haven't opened it to install anything. If you go to the global MIUI site you'll see the Mi 9T Pro advertised with up to 8/256GB, so that is a genuine option of the global Mi 9T Pro. I've not followed the thread fully since, so some of the later stores mentioned could well be selling K20 Pros.
yeah and there specs say it also has a microsd slot... which its very well known it doesnt... I wouldnt trust that specs list at all... so no its a rebadged k20 and no the official mi site doesnt list a mi 9tpro with 8gb and 256 flash... only the k20s do...

That eGlobal listing has changed slightly since I first looked. They've removed the text I saw that explicitly stated it had band 20, now it only lists it in the specs, though there they only list frequencies, not band numbers. So I'm more dubious than when I first saw it.
The Wanda mobile ad seems genuine too and they do seem to have a better reputation, but again I wouldn't want to be the first to try it. I'd wait until others have confirmed. Most of the big Ali sellers are OK, you just have to pay attention to what you're looking at. They may lists both names in the title, to make sure you hit the listing no matter what you search, but they are normally up front in the description as to what they are selling. You just need to remember the distinction between Global Version and Global ROM in the listings.
It's interesting that none of the Ali sellers are selling the 8/256GB global version of the Mi 9T Pro, it looks like they all have the EU versions, from what I can see from a quick search. So this does cast more doubt on what eGlobal and Wanda are actually selling.
Indeed this is why its been so confusing... Didnt help at all how Xiaomi fractured the distrobution and models... They really fooked this one up i think both in marketing and in handling and distribution.
I bought mine from ebay uk from a chinese seller it came sealed £370 128gb
Are you looking for 128gb, 8gb RAM model? There is some decent priced one on eBay UK for £350-400 which seem reasonable. Since buying it from Aliexpress is £310ish +£22 for delivery.

You're buying off some random seller on eBay! How on earth do you know it's not a rebadged k20 with no b20?

If you pay with PayPal and raise a case for fault advertising you'll be ok.
I'd message a seller to ask and confirm first and at least you've evidence
Before I bought mine I asked the guy to send me the IMEI number and checked it against the database everything checked out that database isn't wrong. Plus there's PayPal guarantee. Mine is what it says it is and I'm on B20 4g with 02.

They mention it in the description. All of the 10 seller I seen has mentioned it. If you bought it without knowing its your fault for not reading it.

Yes because sellers never lie do they... ive already seen tons of K20 pros with "global rom hacked flashes" being sold as Mi9t pros...
And to be honest paypals guarantee are never perfect... Ive had cases before when ive been missold things. And paypal sided with the seller. Even when I had unsumountable proof... Paypal could easily see it as "well you got a phone didnt you?"
Im sorry no random sellers on ebay particularly Chinese based ones are a safe bet.
But if there is a list of trusted sellers... or sellers who have been proven to send the correct phone... Why dont we make a list?
Sam why not list the sellers name here as well as the others who have found trust worthy sellers...?

A k20 pro with dodgy software would read as a mi9 t pro that is correct but it would definitely not have band 20 and a couple of other bands because in the china k20 models those bands are permanently locked and cant be unlocked through software. Plus the IMEI database would see the correct model as a k20 instead of a MI9t Pro. Just check the sellers reputation feedback etc and save a bit of money its not that big a deal not all chinese sellers are unscrupulous.

Oh i realise not all are bad... I regularly buy stuff from china... But when it comes to expensive things... I do my research. But ive already found a handful of sellers just between now and making my last post that are selling k20s advertised as mi9ts
Who did you get yours from?
I bought mine the 128gb variant from the bellow linked seller but that was the last 128gb version he had left now he's only got the 64gb one left.

Finally I found a shop on alibaba can buy the phone with a good price.
Here is the link to buy:

And I also found Mi 10 Pro on this website too!!!

Thank you guys.
Any shop, like Gearbest, Banggod, Geekbuying or the two german one (Tradingshenzhen and CECT) but for EU useless, because no FDD-LTE B20 (800MHz) in China version and if you flash global ROM, than you need to open bootloader and let them open (no Netflix in HD, no banking apps and so on).
If you from outside EU than look for Aliexpress, like seller goldway.
I could buy it over the counter today for 600$, but it's too heavy and not keen to wait 360. If it was 3 days like in Xiaomi Poco, that'd be acceptable.
Seen so many models with motorized camera and I love this notchless style into future. 10T model will be worth waiting for.
Disclosure: I have Mi 9 and it's 175g is just on the boundary of acceptable weight.
Hi,from where you culd buy?
I've spotted it so far on Shenzhen.

Link for CECT?
Are you saying that if you're in the EU, then these shops are OK? What about the UK?
No B20 means almost useless in EU

Yep. Also, at the prices they are currently selling the Mi 10 Pro, it's too close to Samsung and Apple for me to be tempted by Xiaomi. Despite the DXOMark's top scores, I don't think the images are consistent or better than the Apple, Google or Samsung's flagships. Pixel-peeping has its value, but even though the 27MP images can be very detailed, there are a lot of artifacts in the Mi Note 10 shots I take.
And the Mi Note 10 hasn't even received a security update in two months....
I want to buy the China model from trading Shenzhen, then flash the global ROM later, but what implications would I run into if I did that instead of waiting for the global version? I live in Canada so I don't really need band 20.
At the moment there is no global rom and you need fastboot global rom for flashing, so you need to wait a lil bit longer and don't forget you need to unlock bootloader first, which means after you get it, you still need to wait +2 weeks.

You will probably get earlier updates If you don't want that, wait for global firmware.
I live in Germany and I ordered the Mi 10 from TradingShenzen. I don't mind band 20 and my English is quite solid
Still have to wait a few more days...

What about banking services and Google Pay?

Why are you asking? Could there be difficulties with banking apps? And for Google Pay, that doesn't bother me anyway

Im waiting on my seller from ebay to get them. You can use banking apps and google pay if you unlock the bootloader. There is a script online that uses magisk hide and makes the appp not be able to be updated. I can find the link and post it. It's been working on my mi note 10 for awhile.

Thanks. But why not just wait for the global version a few days (weeks?) so you don't have to deal with the security issues?
I use Google Pay everywhere, both on my phone and on my watch, so it's a must, for me at least.
Haven't decided if I should try the Mi 10 and hand down the Mi Note 10. It seems like the main camera sensor produces the same results, and I don't find the image quality of the wide and zoom to be that great comparatively. Or, may go back to Samsung for the zoom and the proper face unlock ...

I root my phone for magisk so I use this method to be able to use Google pay
I'm in the UK, and i bought a MI-10 from tradingshenzhen, which is still waiting to be shipped... I have tried to cancel the order and get a refund but according to them it's shipped.
I didn't realise as i've never had a chinese phone before, so i didn't understand about chinese / global version and how different they are. So i'm now going to be stuck with a phone that can't use the main 4G band 20 LTE on O2 in the UK, which is a big problem for me.
After realising tradingshenzhen would not help, i'm now looking at ways to make into a global version, but there seems to be risks with banking apps not working etc.
I have been using iphones for the past 10yrs, bought a note 10 a few months ago, and really liked it, and then the Mi-10 was released with a better chip, screen, ram etc. so i rushed into getting it as soon as possible without realising there's a big difference.... lesson learnt for me, i just hope i can get it to work at some point.
Any tips or adviced is very welcome.

i think it only the modem drivers we need to change
because like realme say that realme x50 5G have 5G band 1 but they have to actived it with an firmware update later
an they use the same modem x55
