Hello bought mine at hongkong directly at broadway tsim sha tsui.

Got 6gb 128gb model EVR-L29

It cost me far less than wondas.

I can help you order if you'd like.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
Is there a website for this seller?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
The Vivo Nex S was also global in Hong Kong, so it is possible. If there is a 8GB/256GB version in Hong Kong i realy want that one. But we need more info before buying :laugh: Also here still no respons from Expansys or Etoren.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Yeah. I'm contacting an AliExpress seller supposedly in HK now to see if the have info.

This is L29 user manual.....What do you think about SAR values and what means these restrinction about 5 Ghz?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
"CN" model is AL00 - the China variant that Google does not play well with. Some shops will falsely use the name of the Global variant - L29 - and install the Google framework to attract international customers. I wrote to Giztop when they first listed the Mate 20 x for pre-sale to ask if the model they were taking orders for was the China (CN) AL00 or the Global L29 and they wrote back to "assure" me it was Global L29 - which it clearly is not, now that some customers have already received theirs. Buyer Beware.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
My replies to them are trying to get that cleared up. HK does get L29 versions for the locals though as far as know rather than AL00 since HK has sorta special less commie controls on things. I would really prefer 8/256....but starting to look like we will have to wait until mid-November be certain no L29 8/256 will exist or not.

Hi there,

Is anyone interested in buying HUAWEI MATE 20 X CN 6GB+128GB LTE SIM FREE / UNLOCKED, in phantom silver with Google play installed. It was purchased from Wonda Mobile couple of days ago. Still on the way to be delivered to me. Will sell at the same price I have bought it £699. If anyone is interested please message me.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] medicalman:
HI THERE

I have some questions about huawei mate 20 X

it is support fm radio ! any version AL00 or L29

is it dual sim card support full active sim or just stand by

is the device support wireless charging !

where can i buy the 8gb ram and 256gb memory for L29 ! it there is no such version ! can i buy from vmall ( i have Chinese online address )

with my best regards
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
It's impossibile, the L29 variant exist, the charger inside is Europian and on the package there is the label with EVR-L29 code. Also in Italy some shops sell the Chinese model and install the PlayStore but google services such as Google voice, google assistent, ok Google can't work fine because these are services and not application that Huawei have locked into the Chinese model
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
I think this is understood. There are HK, Singapore, India, and other places though that should get the EVR-L29 versions...not just Europe. Actually not sure if any European countries will get it officially at all. Does HK have UK or China/US style plugs these days? Not really sure what the official HK L29 will be? Hopefully more is clear here in a couple weeks as those actually start to filter out.

WhatsApp works fine. There seems to be no way to control app launches on this great machine

Can't seem to pinch or zoom the tests at all

Now this is a screen. The size is just right! Emails, websites, games. And finally... A cool phone. I've heard that so many times about other phones, but this one actually stays cool
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hughey2k2:
I don't have the phone yet but I did order it from Cect-shop right now it's going through processing but I did come across a phone case for the phone. I don't know this company never bought from them so do your own research.

So with expansys not clear on what model they have and other sites only offering the Chinese version, can anyone confirm if they've ordered and received, to the UK, an L29 that has actually turned out to be an L29 and can confirm if it works as expected?

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
So far I can only gather that one person got an L29 and he has a Huawei contact. Wonda Mobile says November 14th for the L29...and seems I have seen other suggestions that global model releases then. So I don't think we will see a lot of firm information on global model until then. Hopefully Expansys has good explanation, but think they just have their listing miss labelled or are actually trying to sell China models with hacked on Google as L29.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lawtq:
I'm crazy. L29 says via tracking it'll be here tomorrow. Gonna choose which one to keep. China one has no real drawbacks I can see right now apart from ok Google, quick call, and other minor things not working. Wish I didn't bother getting the global one too. The pen is coming with it too so I'll see.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
Guys, from Giztop site on the Mate 20x page:

"Buy Smartphone Tips:

All smartphones are unlocked, without contract.

All smartphones install global software, with Google Play service, and support OTA updating

Please ensure your SIM card is compatible with the smartphone's network bands, to check your SIM card carrier's network, please*click here."

So they are basically taking the Chinese variant and installing the global rom on it? Is that right?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
Too bad they dont have a belt clip on that site for this phone. I'd rather a leather case belt clip or anything belt clip.

no that's wrong the just install play store on it to save you doing it and they set it to english that's all they do ??

I bought this belt holster it's adjustable I was looking for a good leather holster for this monster but since this phone isn't as popular as the Mate 20 pro it's not going to see a lot companies support it in the beginning.

Like I said I don't have the phone yet and this holster is slimmer than it looks but my OnePlus 6 is able to easily fit in it with a case on. I'm not fan of the belt loop part because it snaps on but I'll probably buy some gorilla glue and glue it together so that the only way to get the holster off is through my belt.

Yeah that wont work, I dont wear a belt so it would have to be something that slips onto a belt not snap around, I'd burn it first, no offense.

Size of the pouch is 16.5cm x 9.5cm x 2cm. The phone is according specs 17.4 x 8.54 x 0.82 cm. So you'd have the cover lifted for about 1 cm over the edge. I don't see it as a problem. You can get bigger bag but this one is not bulky.

Darn...no specifics on model availability! Really curious if some markets do end up getting an 8/256 version. Wouldn't care....but the silly nsimSD or whatever only goes to 256 supposedly... not sure if that could change, but would be nice to have 512 total capabilities if I keep this thing a long time. Headphone Jack's and IR and such that this have going away could mean I keep it for a LONG LONG time if I can't get such things in something I like down the road.

I think I emailed you asking about 8/256 AL00 rebrand to L29 if the 8/256 never happens as an L29. You had said then that it wasn't probably going to be possible....is that still the case or have you had a chance to investigate the Mate 20s more and decided they aren't totally locked up?

And I think my biggest interest in funkyhuawei is the rebranding to get proper global 8/256...which isn't necessary if I order this one from you. What sorts of stuff would I use my $132 worth of Funkyhauwei stuff on if it's probably not going to be possible to rebrand. Rebrand won't be possible, but early updates only maybe?

So I wrote to Giztop, a Hong Kong re-seller and here is there reply. I was asking about the global model or variant and they replied with assurances of a global ROM. Not the same thing, but maybe it is a language issue? They also say in their description full Google services and up-gradable. Finally, except for a bit of Chinese bloatware that you can hide, and some untranslated Chinese text in sub-menus, is there any real down side to the Chinese model? I was thinking the China model may see firmware upgrades well into the future whereas the global version might get left behind. This was certainly the case with my Mate 8 L29. The China version AL00 has been on Oreo for a year but no update is planned for the L29 version of the Mate 8.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
funkyhuawei doesn't yet list the Mate 20 x on their web site. On their twitter feed they mention they are working on it. I assume it is just a matter of time before you can purchase their one time unlock re-brand/change region service. I think it is about CND$65. With pdaplaza Canadians get hit with the HST (15% in Nova Scotia) but it ships from Canada and that is still cheaper than ordering from Hong Kong and paying in US dollars (especially if H.M. Customs decide to apply customs duties to your phone).
