Just ordered the international one from wondamobile, as I wasn't sure about widevine on a chinese funky huawei rebranded one.

I've used wondamobile before and was very happy with them.

Can't wait!

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
Why would Huawei lie on their official website, vs a quick start manual? I trust the website. Your saying by that insert they do not have bands for the US, yet both guys with the devices both have LTE.

Just buy the phone and try it. You can always sell it.

End of topic.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mac231us:
I have the EV-L00 and have posted the bands I get (yes I get LTE and yes I also did note the similarities a long way back with the L29) Just surprised this discrepancy is there-the manual bands almost look like an old print copy and paste from another model like the 8x max or something like that.

No it won't be the end of topic for some, assured of that lol
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
Not to change the topic, but I am, this is the second time I am asking this question. The HN8 I have was the Chinese version and had a program called HiVoice (Which I presume was the same as possibly "Ok Google") Which also could have been used to find your phone when lost in the house. Question 1: I presume this still exists in the EVR-L00, is it still only in Chinese? Question 2: People with the EVR-L29 phone, does this exist on this phone in English or something similar?

In case anyone is interested in the US, Sears seemed to be selling the 20X from 3rd parties: https://www.sears.com/tvs-electronics-phones-cell-phones/b-5000811?sbf=Brand&sbv=Huawei

Interesting. Thanks. Wonda usually ship direct to your door via DHL. Wonder what this all means? Third party dealing with it from the UK?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
Dunno about that. The UK has been hit with a huge fine by the EU for turning a blind eye to customs and VAT on a lot of Chinese stuff - it was an official unofficial policy as UK Gov felt it was good for trade. But since the UK was contravening Customs Union law, the EU has now taken them to court, and a very large fine (and back taxes) loom.

Since this happened, very little of any value has not been charged upon reaching the UK.

phone received 256gb 8gb ram installed all my WhatsApp Barclays backing app no troubles so far there's hardly no Chinese at all nothing that can't be hidden or changed ,, beast of a phone:) well happy I got the 256gb??, report back later on with updates
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
Wonda must source from different locations. My order shipped two days after I placed my order for the EVR-L29, but the tracking info they sent me says it is coming via Singapore Post from Singapore rather than from Hong Kong as I had expected. I wish I had been offered an alternative shipping method as the parcel will be picked up once it arrives in Canada by Canada Post Express Post Services (who partner with Singapore Post), but unfortunately Canada Post is on strike at the moment, doing random parcel and postal sorting facility walkouts that have disrupted mail distribution in Canada. Private couriers like DHL aren't effected by the strike.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
I ordered mine this past Friday evening from an eBay seller. Cost was US $939.00 with free DHL Express shipping from HK. Just got a notification that it will be here tomorrow (Tuesday). Not too bad.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] SlyUK:
Would someone kindly summarise what are all the benefits (and disadvantages if any) of having the EVR-L29 Variant as opposed to buying the EVR-AL00 Variant. Much appreciated.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
For any Canadians who are purchasing from Wonda, send them a note to ship using a different service than Singapore Post. Singpost has this official warning on their web page about using their service to send parcels to Canada:

Canada – Delivery delays

Deliveries of registered and ordinary mail to Canada (postcodes A, B, C, E, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, V, X and Y) may be delayed by as much as several months due to rotating strikes. Canada Post has alerted Singpost that it is working with the Canadian Border Services Agency to resolve delays in processing international inbound mail through its Vancouver facility, its gateway for mail originating from the Asia-Pacific. Please use SpeedPost for urgent items.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
We must have ordered from the same person. Lol. Right-mall was the seller? Same for me. Saying tomorrow. But that's far fetched from HK to the USA.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

The big difference is google apps and such are baked into software, rather than having to DL them. OK Google works on the L29 version and not the China version. Generally you'll have more quirks with the China VS the global model.

FunkyHuawei said people will be generally happier with the EVR-L29. As there is no Chinese sub-menus and it can all be changed to English.

Aside from a 6/128 or an 8/256, not much else.

If you have never used a device specific for China, I'd suggest the global model.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
Yep. That's who I ordered from too.

Don't rain on my delivery parade. Ha ha

I hope the tracking info is correct. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's a race to our front doors.

I ordered from the same seller too. DHL also quoting delivery tomorrow.

I've purchased several phones over the years that have shipped via DHL from HK. Delivery date accuracy is 50/50. 50% chance it gets held up in customs for a few days. (likely in Cincinnati OH)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
I'm hoping my tracking info is correct. However, eBay tracking shows delivery on Wednesday now, instead of tomorrow. The DHL site says tomorrow by end of the day still. Tomorrow would be great, but I'd be really surprised. Although, when I bought my HN8 last year, it made it from HK via DHL in only two days. Hoping this is the case again.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
Singapore Post. Once Asia Pacific mail arrives at the Canada Border Services Agency inspection station in Vancouver it is handed over to Canada Post for deliver within Canada. As you know, however, the Royal Mail is on strike in Canada, thus the warning on the Singpost website about not using Singapore Post to ship to Canada!

One thing I feel is the new snapdragon 855 soc will murder this kirin 980 gpu though. Cause this kirin gpu only feels a bit better than the 845's gpu, which is still a great gpu

The 855 will not murder the 980. Historically they have been a 20% increase and 30% increase. Given a 290k in antutu and a 320k for the Kirin. It will be right on par.

The GPU however will be faster. CPU, on par with 980. But it's not going destroy it by any means.

Cpu on this kirin 980 is great, gpu ain't great though, it's the best so far but I hoped for a bit better. I feel it will be spanked by the 855

Any official feedback from any stores on whether an 8gb/256gb EVR-L29 global version will exist?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] choch69:
apparently there is no differences between the chinese and global variant
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Maybe this time not the specifications, but software is always different between Chinese and Global model.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
Unless funkyhuawei develops a sure fire method of re-branding the China variant to the Global variant as they have done for previous Mates, then there are several annoying differences between the China and Global models. Yes the China model can use the English language (with only a few sub-menus still in Mandarin), but there are still some default system apps like music player and video which continue to feature Chinese content. They can be 'hidden' and replaced with English apps but they remain. Also the AI and voice assistant remain Chinese and unless you speak Chinese you won't get the full functionality of unlocking your phone by voice, etc. Google Now (Google Assistant) also usually conflicts with the default system text to speech app because the latter is in Chinese. The default Huawei system dialer is linked with the Chinese Yellow Pages and phone book data bases so you get predictive dialing of Chinese numbers and your call log entry will say you have called Guangzhou rather than New York or wherever because the phone always assumes you are in mainland China. For some people these are just minor annoyances, but as there will clearly be a Global variant designed for the markets in Malaysia, Singapore, and eventually Europe, a bit of patience will be well rewarded. I like larger screens and am happy for the moment with my Xiaomi Mi Max 3, but will order a Mate 20 x once the global version becomes available. I had an Oppo R17 plust (China only variant) that was a beautiful phone, but the conflicts between North American use and the assumed mainland China system apps (even GPS locations) of the phone eventually drove me to the Mi Max 3 with xiaomi.eu firmware.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Looking forward to checking all the importers this weekend after official release to see what everyone wants to charge here initially for the Global version. The Chinese one could be found already on AliExpress for $950 or so imported to USA with DHL. That's probably technically a pre-order. But they want a $g with shipping now.
