[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Nice review, did you have to pay extra customs? I orderd at Wondamobile because they say no extra customs. Still waiting to be arrived at UK and then to NL.

Here another EVR-L29 unboxing.

https://youtu.be/VHRHwM-dDT0

Hide the notch and enable dark mode are the first things i do when i get the phone. :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Youtube_Ll0r3nt3:
The Chinese version is rooted? If I will flash the Chinese signature, would I continue with root?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] hanbaoquan15:
Can someone confirm if Ok Google works on the L29 version? Thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
How much had you pay for customs and how much had Spendor declared?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lawtq:
Hell.... Yes

So far it feels truly global. Wifi calling, volte too.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
It definitely does.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Rudi07:
Oooh, so many questions about my little video :)

I will not quote everything, but answer the questions here:

1.I did not have to pay taxes yet (unless FedEX sends me an invoice)

2. The enclosed dealer invoice was correct as shown in the shop in HK $.

3. DRM Info shows me Widevine Security Level L1.

4.Netflix I do not have a subscription to it,

YT videos run in 720 & 1080

Why hide the little notch?

personally it does not bother me at all. (unlike the Mate20pro) It only makes the display small :) :)

What I have forgotten in the video, on the display is a factory-applied protective film.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] casinca:
what i was going to ask, thanks for the vid :good:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
you will have been lucky with the customs. someone else bought from Splendor... how did it go for tax and customs?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] roadcabe14:
Hey I got VOLTE but can't seem to find WIFI calling... where is the setting? Can you share a screenshot?

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

I had the exact same experience. Splendor even threw in an adapter for my charger. My only gfripe is the seal was removed from the box / phone was clearly handled (but still had all the stickers/film protectors on it). That should've been mentioned before ordering. Despite all that, don't care, still way cheaper even with duties for the phone + mpen.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] iantaylor27:
Handled

The global version from Hong Kong has to be activated with a local Hong Kong sim before shipping out. It's a Huawei security thing to avoid importing. Chinese version can be shipped sealed as does not have this . Samsung do the same in the UK and Europe.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] roadcabe14:
Ah, makes sense. Well, would have been nice to know to avoid the surprise when I opened it, but at least I know now why he did it :). Thanks for the info!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Galeonero:
Hello people, I see that many here are enjoying the Mate 20x, I want this phone is extremely round and is having many sales so it will update a lot. Can someone who lives in the United States be so kind as to tell me where I matter and what taxes are there? I am not from the United States but I have a friend who stays until November 19 and I want to send him the'Mate 20x but I do not see any that matters from the United States.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
Are you saying you want to buy the phone and have it sent to your friend in the United States?

This is who a few of us here bought our L29s from.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/142998762562

The phone made it from Hong Kong to my house in the Untied States in 2 days. I think they only ship to the PayPal address associated with the payment though.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Galeonero:
Hello, sorry but that link you have put does not work, when I open it closes.

My idea is to buy it on this page https://www.splendor-ltd.com has it at a good price, send by DHL.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
I've sent the website warning from SingPosts site about this to Wonda and asked for an explanation as to why they didn't use another courier. It's outrageous and completely unacceptable.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeepentj:
I've given up on Wonda. I just ordered another phone through eBay and will ether refuse or return the one from them. I ordered screen protectors AFTER I ordered the phone and they came in today (the came from China). Oh, and my phone is still in Hong Kong. I called the carrier and they GUESSED it would arrive after Thanksgiving.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
I just ordered from them after some discussion. They got the Huawei nanoSD onto the order for me also...128gb for $67(500hkd). So all in with phone, pen, and 128gb extra storage...was 7450hkd($981 with current PayPal conversion). And should ship tonight or tomorrow night and be here by weekend or early next week.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Galeonero:
Good, fast shipping. Could you tell me if there are taxes or not for customs to pass? The phone will be for personal use.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
I haven't ever had that here in USA. Part of why I am ordering now. That may change at end of year into next year due to Trump and his China trade war. Will go-to 25% and maybe include stuff like this. 10% for now and actual devices like this aren't part of it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] def1003:
ive just started researching but it appears the chinese version can be bought from aliexpress for a reasonable price but since i live in the usa it wont be for me needing the international version, ugh great phone do want

Can I ask what network you are on to get voLTE and WiFi calling and also where did you order your phone from?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lawtq:
3uk network. Sim in, all there automatically

L29 purchased from FunkyHuawei. I asked for it not to be opened. With hindsight I think it's best they do open it though to check for defects. Last thing you want
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
Where Had you buy it ?

Let me know if you receive a response. Canada Post advises they have more than 150 transport trucks/containers backed up at the Toronto national parcel sorting hub because of the strike. I hope Wonda takes notice and spares other Canadians this poor decision to use the mail for delivery. Can we cancel, get refunded, and order through funkyhuawei who ship FedEx?

I'm kind of leaning your way. Once you choose 6/128 you can't go back. I had the AL00 Mate 9 and I could live with it.

So if I go with 8/256, all I can say is if [MENTION=4572798]duraaraa[/MENTION] Funkyhuawei can change from AL00 to L29 I'm yours!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] dan-uk:
Spoke to wonda

Phone will be at UK hub late tonight. Will then ship to me by Friday, Monday at latest. If this is correct then they will have delivered as described, even if other vendors have delivered quicker. I'll be pee'd off if it's late but will reserve judgement.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lawtq:
To people who don't have WiFi calling, volte and so on. Try installing Google's "carrier services" from play store. Might help

I wonder why all this dropshipping is happening. Wonda always posts to my door via dhl. 2 days max Hong Kong to uk! I'll make sure to demand dhl only for future purchases from them
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Qamberco:
Man i wish that tooooo so badly!!!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] cloud1:
I imagine this different way of shipping helps protect the end recipient from import duty.

My Note 9 from Wonda last year came straight to me from Asia, but I also received import duty in the post a few days later. I think I could have got wonda to pay me those fees (i'm not sure I got round to doing it though).

Skyscrapers?

If anyone is using either L20 or L00 GPS in a skyscraper dense area (Manhattan, Tokyo, etc).?

Can you tell me if the problem of GPS signals reflected off skyscrapers has been banished by the the Dual Frequency GPS radio that Mate 20 X advertises? You'll know because the blue dot in Maps will find the exact spot you are at quickly, ACCURATELY...and will NOT wander AND remain stable and solid on ONE spot?.

My Huawei Mate 9 (China Version) gets very hot during extended VIBER or SKYPE usage. How about the Mate 20 X? Does it stay cool during extended video transmission / reception? Wondering how effective the new GRAPHITE cooling system functions.

Thanks...

I've got bad news about Nova Launcher.

I've contacted their Customer support manager, he told me those issues are on Huawei's end that they can't fix. Huawei has been informed of the issues and what needs to be done to fix them, but there's really slim chances that it'll be fixed from Huawei side :(

It sounded like it wasn't the first time that they had trouble with Chinese brands softwares

I've sent a mail to Huawei as a customer request but it will prob fall into deaf ears :crying: (if some people also care about it, i suggest you do the same :highfive:)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Interesting. May need to make a facebook group if this is true of all EMUI 9 devices. EMUI 8 was not working on Android Auto, but finally got better a couple months back. I still have some Mate 9 issues with Android Auto, but mostly works now. Really wish everyone would goto a more standard android build that plays well with everything and allows normal android experience with just features added and look changed...but not such extreme changes to things that it busts stuff we expect to work.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
WondaMobile is better, this shop not ship in many country...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] stestesteste:
I'd understand if the huawei launcher was totally crap but tbh its not that bad at all so for now I'm happy I'm sure it will get changed but come on guys is it really that bad , there's plenty of widgets and apps if you want to make it look different , you can change the themes icons and more it don't bother me that much and I'm quite enjoying stock I've used Nova that long it makes my phone feel different
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
Global or Chinese model?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] casinca:
It's mostly with Huawei, Xiaomi and Oneplus, the rep said. He even recommended me to stick with google OEMs first and foremost, then possibly Samsung if i had to stray from Google devices. I can't relate for others and brands as i'm on a Note 9 atm and it works fine.

It's just that i'd like to be prepared and know the outcome before buying a new phone, i can't honestly give an opinion about EMUI 9 since i don't know what it looks/feels like.

We were talking about the global version, i have no idea about CN. I think you can't even change launcher that easily ( changing default apps) on CN model, there's some trick to do iirc and it can, in some case, reset to default launcher.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
OnePlus?? I think that is bull. I know it's a deal with the Chinese ROMs... but that may be something to do with the Commies wanting special code that exists in launcher. On my Mate 9 launcher issue was only somewhat unstable...but still was usually only crash and back to stock once a month maybe. With EMUI 8 its been rock solid on Nova. It was EMUI 5.1 that it was iffy. I suspect Huawei will address this.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
I know this is going to sound very stupid, but I'm going to ask anyway, since I am looking to get the 8gb/256gb version which at this point seems its only the Chinese version and no L29 version even though one website had something claiming to something like that with no confirmation, at this point I am done waiting. So my questions is does it make any difference getting it now from China, from FunkyHuawei or any other seller, or waiting for the 14th and getting it from singapore? At this point I presume they are all the same, what region you get it from doesnt matter, am I right or way off? Cause I was really holding out to see if a 8GB/256GB L29 was going to mysteriously pop up out of nowhere, but it doesnt seem likely.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] shollywood:

I can help on the 256gb EVR-L29 from expansys....they confirmed it's Chinese to me eventually. Still haven't updated sore though. So seems Expansys is now more shady than they were when they had more presence in USA.

All will be same device...HK has UK style plugs though. Singapore I guess might also. But markets with different plugs would get proper plug bundled.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
The EU plug model was only not for sale on some unboxing video's. Verry strange that there is no retail release. But no problem, the EU charger is easy to buy at Amazon.de. They sell two chargers. The 10V-4A works only on the Mate 20 Pro i think.

Will know tomorrow when whatever they sent gets here. But seemed legit. Didn't even have the nanoSD listed until I asked. Took a bit to add to order page.. but once there ordered it all and it's on the way. Talk to their folks with WhatsApp link. May be able to send only the card. But told me they are paying 450hkd for the card...so shipping separate for 500hkd may not be worth their time.

Sent picture below to verify this was card I wanted...so may not be expert folks on the tech as it wasn't what was listed to bundle until I asked.

Just got word on what is at issue with customs. It's the digitizer pen, but they just put "PEN". So if anyone else is importing this m-pen or whatever it's called, make sure the shipper knows to put electronic pen(no ink) or something of that nature as there is some extra documentation for ink pens.
