So what is the best way to get the 7T Pro in the U.S.? I'm on Verizon so I need a unlocked model. Sounds like Oneplus isn't officially releasing this phone in the U.S. anytime soon.

I managed to purchase a Chinese version of the 7T Pro that's unlocked on eBay -- but I don't know how to convert it to a global or EU version.
Apparently the 7T Pro is getting a T-Mobile exclusive US release. Hoping that the exclusivity is for carrier sales only since I'd also like one on Verizon.

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've been waiting for the honor 8x to be available in the USA for months.
i wanted to buy my wife a new phone for Christmas but it is not available yet
does anybody know when this phone will be released in the USA ??
can someone recommend me a good budget phone that is comparable to the 8x ??
Sorry, but this is it: https://techonomy.com/2013/04/huawei-zte-banned-from-selling-to-u-s-government/
If you want, you can use a "workaround" (see here, where I bought mine from AliExpress: https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-huawei-8x )

I live in Toronto, Canada. I got my Honor 8x yesterday. Works perfectly with Bell. I placed an order two weeks ago on ebay. A seller is in Florida.
This phone was confirmed for the USA back on September 27. It's now more than 3 months later and NOTHING. I was going to buy this phone if it was released in the USA a few months ago but by the time it gets here it will be old technology. Add in the fact that the US government hates Huawei/Honor I doubt we will ever see it. And if we do, it certainly won't see any updates.

Huawei's Honor brand has always been budget priced and so it was always "old technology" one way or another. If you want new technology, you gotta buy a Galaxy Note or similar. Having said that, I think what used to be newest technology around 2015 is basically what most people still really need to get by today.
I was certainly really interested in seeing the release of Honor 8x in the USA because that's my go-to budget brand, but if it does not arrive here, we could still have some other choices. For example, Lenovo's Moto G7. Based on speculations it should arrive some time in March.
JSN-L23
There is a version of this phone that you can purchase (I got mine on ebay, but also available on Amazon) that will work with certain U.S. carriers. At the least, is compatible with T-Mobile bands. I'm not sure about other carriers as I use Ting (which operates on T-Mobile network, and maybe AT&T but I'm not sure so don't quote me). Just make sure the model number is JSN-L23. And also double check your carriers frequency bands it uses and make sure they and the phones' are compatible. As I said, I use Ting which uses T-Mobiles network and I get full 4G LTE signal with 50+mb/s down consistently. The only downsides are, as of right now, it is only available in 4GB/64GB format and is only available in black & blue (no red which sucks cause is the best looking imo). And for some odd reason this model does NOT have dual band Wi-Fi so keep that in mind
As the title says I'm think about getting this phone. I have a honor 8 right now, US version. My question is would I better off getting the international version of the mate 10 pro. Will the BLA-A29 world phone have a better chance of security updates as opposed to the BLA-A09 US version. It looks like the lte bands are the same on both. I'm on ATT network and from reading many reviews the BLA-A29 seems to work for people on ATT. thanks
Mate 10 Pro version
The international version would work on at&t, and would "probably" get updates faster that the US model, depending on the regional variant of course
I live in north America.
Serval articles state that the 7t plus has yet to make it to US market.
I tried purchasing one from their website , only given 7t and pro options .
Is the US still waiting for their 7t pro?
The 7T Pro won't be released in the US, except for a special 5G edition of the McLaren, on T-Mobile exclusively.
OnePlus launched a video on You Tube showing the McLaren edition with a link to the US site. The phone isn't on there as of yet but I'm wondering if they will be offering it on their site in an international phone like the 7T. Really don't want one from T-Mobile again and have to convert like I did with my 6T.
Here is the link they posted on the video... https://www.oneplus.com/7t-pro-mclaren?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=7TProMcLaren

Thanks for responses .
I am going to go with the 7t , for now
I was interested in getting this phone but I cant ever buy another carrier dependent phone again for update reasons. I thought the n10 5g wouldve been unlocked like the international versions have been but Im seeing little bits of info that point to it being tmobile 'brand'.

The bands on the main US site correspond perfectly with tmobiles bands. However there is no mention on the official oneplus n10 5g US portal (at this time) of exclusive tmobile version. It seems to be 'unlocked' but still no confirmation on that and Infact I found conflicting data.
GSMarena confirms it has deals with tmobile/metro.

Mine is SIM unlocked version right from OnePlus
Thanks you made my decision to get it alot easier and after using it for a day, its good to know it is indeed the unlocked version when purchaing directly from oneplus apparently other retailers and amazon selling tmobile variants which is causing the confusion.

I got mine from best buy and it was unlocked with no issues. The Amazon one looked a little fishy, as it did not clearly specify it's features
Of course not

They are unlocked. I know the the phones bands work with tmobile, but I don't believe it has the ability to take advantage of mmwave.
Obviously phones sold by oneplus are unlocked.
