[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] piskr:
It's the phone I've been dreaming about for at least 3 years. Nearly bezelless and with enough big screen to mostly replace a computer. In all but the most demanding busyness activities.

Almost perfect and the first such phone ever for me. I hope that Huawei is not serious about not delivering it to Europe in the first release. Cause that would be a serious blow to their sales results.

Not the first though. Huawei makes great phones but has a lousy market strategy. First of all they produce too many models and later abandon support for some of them. Practically they are the most threatening competition to themselves. Secondly they totally let down American customers who trusted them and bought their last models. I am fully aware that they have dispute with the USA government but what the customers have with this? I personally believe that Huawei could sold a lot of phones in the USA despite restrictions if they would have offered adequate support to previous models. Because they produce great phones and people want them. Despite government allegation.

Hopefully Huawei wouldn't restrict distribution of Mate 20 x, at least not in the EU where they have a great potential. Not another mistake, please.

I almost want to order, because i don't think Europe gets a release. It's only 2 day now and still no EU pre-order to be found.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] piskr:
I did a little research. Mate 20 x is definitely not coming to Europe Europe, at least not this year: https://www.gsmarena.com/interview_...m_cards_and_foldable_5g_phones-news-33852.php
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Thanks, Huawei realy failed the show in London with Mate 20 X. They announced it in London with Euro price and 26 october releasedate, but don't release it in Europe......

Next time keep it for Chinese events or change the Euro price to Chinese renminbi and be clear about it where you launching it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] xr2i:
Agree, really bad communication here from Huawei.

Don't announce it in Europe, price it in euro , say it will be available on the 26th of October, get us all excited and then not release it in the EU!

Just doesn't make sense.

Even worse that we only know it thanks to the interview, thanks for having shared the link by the way!

All we can do now as early adopters is get it imported with the risks that this may imply (custom taxes, not fully english UI, some apps may not work if not a global version ROM etc..)

Lost opportunity if you ask me!

Any updates are welcome if anyone has good news / receives their imported handset and want to tell us how it went / goes
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mscion:
I bought the "Asian" version of the Mate 10, which I beleive is sold to folks in Australia. (please correct if I'm wrong) and used it on Tmobile in the US. My only issue was that wifi calling and VOIP was not supported for this device here. Otherwise it was and is a great phone. So I would still consider getiing the Asian version.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
Don't need root to de-China it.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mobile-freak:
Do you know some chinese stores where we can pre order?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
Although the global version of the phone may not launch in Europe, it will launch in Asia (Malaysia, etc.) as the L29C636 variant.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
I cannot wait for this phone to be available, so far it has everything I want. I hope frcraig is right and the global version is available. I had the Honor Note 8 Chinese version, and it worked extremely well, the one thing I was disappointed in was not being able to get a english version of HiVoice, and the built in browser being chinese, and a few other things.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mobile-freak:
Thanks,

Just wanted to know if in China the commercials for the mate 20x are also so rare like in Europe.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] bloodydawn01:
It is rare in Europe because It won't be released here.

In china It is in preorder status, will be released tomorrow.

The first global version that Will be released is the Malasyan vesion on 11th November.

I think I might have an addiction, because now I want to order the China 8gb/256gb model as well :(
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lawtq:
This ain't no joke. It's a problem. Around the dinner table my family are all on their devices. So I banned that at the table.

TV on in the evening, we're all starting at our devices

Couples in restaurants, not talking to each other, but on their phones

Everywhere you go is an epidemic. Wonder how we'll be communicating in 100 years, if we haven't killed humanity off by then.

But the phones are so nice lol....! :D

Hey, Goronok. Mine is three hours away in Tulsa. Looks like it will make it after all. I'm hoping anyway. Is yours gonna make it to you today, do you think?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Looking that way! I'm in St Louis and it's already in the area. DHL is very impressive when customs doesn't mess things up.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jasaero:
Anyone who used www.splendor-ltd.com get theirs yet? How long did it take if you are in USA?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
That's great. I'm south of you in Northwest Arkansas. Looking forward to getting it. Hope you enjoy the phone.

I'm very impressed by DHL. Pretty amazing how fast this has been.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Back at you. Let me know how you like it! You in the Fayetteville area? Have a bunch of friends that live down that way :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
Mine shows leaving Cincinnati at 445 this morning. Headed to Dallas. There is no way it will make it today. Just don't see it Happening. Still doesn't even show landed in Dallas yet.

That's my luck ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
I will. I have high expectations for this beast. Ha ha

Yep. I'm in that area. Actually live in Rogers, about 15 minutes north of Fayetteville. Really nice area. We get down to Fayetteville quite a bit because there are lots of good places to eat. ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] casinca:
Ahah :laugh: let us know which one you prefer :good:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
Well, hopefully the tracking info is behind. My luck is the same as yours. I'm sure my phone will make it to the distribution center here today, but sit there until tomorrow. Ha ha
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
Is yours already there? Or showing left the hub in Cincinnati?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Leechoonhwee:
Hivoice is there and in Chinese.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
Mine left the Cincinnati hub around 4 am this morning and has already been processed through the Tulsa facility. Supposed to be delivered this afternoon.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
Lucky! You'll get it today. Mine hasn't even made it to Dallas yet ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeepentj:
How are you guys getting your phones so fast??? I ordered mine through Wonda (international version) over a week ago and although it shipped within 24 hours, it's still in Hong Kong. And it shipped via SF Express (not DHL).

For those looking to receive the phone in the States, who did you order from and when?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] z1c_wh:
mine (Chinese) is just arrived today from WondaMobile since last thursday (or maybe wednesday.. I forgot)

from UK to Italy

I read that on this site, international version would have been delays because it had to be available again
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
eBay. DHL Express. Shipped yesterday from Hong Kong. In Dallas already this morning. Hopefully it still goes out for delivery.

Overnight from Hong Kong is pretty impressive for DHL.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

Mines in Dallas, no way it will go out today. It's already 10am and still not out for delivery.:(

Tomorrow it is.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeepentj:
I just tracked mine again this morning - still in Hong Kong. Looks like I should have gone through eBay. Sigh...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
I'm in the same boat via Wonda. I even requested they use DHL but they said they weren't able to. Super frustrating not seeing any movement!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
Mine has arrived at the distribution center here in NW Arkansas. That's around 15 miles from me at the moment. It left HK yesterday morning at 6 am. Pretty impressive. Now, will it sit 15 miles from me until tomorrow or be delivered today?

Edit: Out for delivery. ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
Damn. I was hoping for a english version. Does anyone with a L29 have HiVoice, or anything close to it? (Ok Google is not the same I dont believe).
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
Mine out for delivery at 1015 this AM.

I posted the link for those to buy on eBay. Only a few did, and we get them today.

Those should have gone through eBay.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] gazm1990:
I ordered through Wonda and they shipped mine via DHL. Did you pay the extra £7 for the smooth shipping service?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Wonda won't use DHL for US shipments any longer. I'm guessing you're located elsewhere?

Mine in the truck for delivery. eBay was definitely the right call.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] gazm1990:
Ah I see. Yes I'm located in the UK. I see they also now ship it to another UK address first and then ship it from that UK address to me. This is different to what they used to do but I'm assuming it's to avoid the customer being charged the import taxes directly and having to reclaim them through Wonda
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mac231us:
great news...will look for your update!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
Bam. Two days later, it's in my hands.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mac231us:
awesome!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jeepentj:
Lol, super helpful to hear somebody say I told you so! [emoji23]

Actually, I would have ordered from eBay but my order had already been placed and the phone had already shipped. I couldn't do much about it other than reorder and refused shipment. Kind of a catch 22.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
Is it possible that there are a few shops yet that sell Mate 20 X L29 ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WDawn:
Doesn't even look that big! :laugh:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] lawtq:
Well, dpd let me down. They're a uk based delivery company. Couldn't find my address. No excuse for that in this gps day and age. They're known for being unreliable. I wanted DHL but it was shipped via dropshipping like others have said it seems. With a middle man in the UK getting it first before being delivered by rubbish UK delivery companies

I've had next day delivery from Hong Kong via dhl to my door before. They're great. As they're 8 hours ahead it effectively goes back in time that's why it seems like next day delivery. Love it. Now to see where the hell this phone is. If its lost I'm screwed

The Huawei Mate 20 X will be launching in Singapore for less than S$1,200 (Updated with more details)

By James Lu - on 5 Nov 2018, 2:28pm

Note: This article was first published on 2nd November and now updated with more details.

Huawei's massive 7.2-inch Mate 20 X was unveiled last month alongside the Mate 20 and Mate 20 Pro, but so far its availability in Singapore has been a total mystery - until today.

Huawei Consumer Business Group Singapore has now confirmed a firm launch date of 22nd November. It will be available at Huawei Concept Stores, Huawei Official Store Online, selected consumer electronic stores and local telecommunication operators at a recommended retail price of S$1,148. Color options available are Midnight Blue and Phantom Silver. It will also be available at all telco operators from 8th December.

Sales of our Mate 20 Series has been off the charts and we are excited to bring in the new HUAWEI Mate 20 X that many of our customers have been asking for. We are heartened to see a growing interest in Singapore towards our brand and we remain committed to offer premium products that will cater to our customers’ needs. - Mr. Cheng Jiangfei, Managing Director of Huawei Consumer Business Group Singapore.

why did you sell it? l29 is no different
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mac231us:
maybe I got the versions mixed up (bootloader unlock, other updates etc)...upon reading carefully (and this thread is very long), maybe it was a wash...anyway it is gone and I will look for the L29 for some deal (great device I must say-ringtone louder than anything, call volume so high no need for speaker)

Order it Sunday before going to bed, and woke up on Monday to a tracking code. The phone arrived at 10:30am today while I was at work. Hardest part of this whole experience was not skipping work to come home and start playing with it. lol

BTW I'm in Toronto, Canada.

Nova isn't playing nice however. Smh.

Ordered mine from Splendor on Saturday, scheduled for delivery Thursday, got it today; Wednesday (live in Australia / Straya :) ). Haven't had chance to use it yet but I have taken it out of the box and it looks divine.

Splendor was an awesome company to deal with and very quick to answer my questions (via WhatsApp). I would definitely buy from them again. I did have to pay import duties but that's part of the lottery that comes with importing stuff. However, the phone, and M-Pen and import duties still worked out to be cheaper than a lot of other sellers. No gripes from me.

Can't wait to start playing with this beast of a phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
Spendor is good but if not declare low price for custom it not good....better wonda most speed and good warranty

Hi,

Here is my unboxing and first impression of the Mate 20 X and the M-Pen

This model is not (yet) available in Germany. I imported it myself from Hong Kong.

This is the model 6/128 GB EVR-L29 in Midnight Blue. This Gloabal ROM works with all Google services and there is no bloatware.

Nova doesn't work at all on my L29. It crashes upon launch every time.

Lawn chair launcher is working fine however

Damn not good to hear :mad: i'm used to and like nova launcher that would a bummer if i have to change permanently.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] antiochasylum:
I've already been in touch with the creator of Nova, sent crash logs and all. Here's to hoping for a fix soon.

In the mean time Evie Launcher is almost identical to Nova. And works great.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] frcraig:
At least you have an estimated delivery date. Wonda also used Singapore Post to mail my phone to me in Halifax, Nova Scotia. For three days my tracking number results were simply "merchant has requested pick up" and today that has changed to "lodged into local postal hub - Singapore". I'm not sure what the £10 "courier" fee was for if they were just going to mail it. Singapore Post partners on this end with Canada Post for local delivery, and Singapore Post has a warning on their website not to mail items to Canada as the current Canada Post mail strike may result in delays of several months.
