Seems like the best price out there right now for the Mate 20 X is through sunsky. It's the Chinese 6/128 model for $760 USD. Any other cheaper suggestions?

I was looking at them too, but the reviews pushed me away, and decided to spend the $70 and get it from more reliable sources.

Are you guys sure that the EVR-L29 version is a global one? Widevine L1? (In the AL00 chinese version is it L1 or L3?)

For the one who already received their EVR-L29 version in Europe: where did you order? Does it come with EU adapter charger?

Thanks guys!

Why do you say it's out of stock? It doesn't show that when I go to the site. Plus it's the 1st place I see the Nano memory card for sale. 128gb for about 65 USD
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Everything looked so big on the Mate 20 X. So i changed the DPI from 423 to 485.

485 DPI is the standard Note 10 value and it looks much better now :)

Really a amazing phone, camera, speed and more are so much better than on the Note 10. Also finally a big Global phone :D

BTW, is your Mate 20 X also go on low brightness and enables auto brightness everytime when reboot? I think it is a bug.

Same for mine! I ordered mine Wednesday and it was originally scheduled for delivery yesterday (Friday), except it took longer to clear customs so now I have to wait till Monday morning. :crying: Oh well, crossing my fingers I won't have to pay any taxes or customs later cuz splendors price was the lowest for the EVR-L29. Now I see they have the Nano memory card in stock. Did u happen to get one?

---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

Man, I'm so glad they put USA LTE bands on this!!! :o Finally my dream phone. Yes, everything was pretty large out the box lol, but I changed it in display settings. I didn't go through developer options, but I will probably try it now since you said that's the honor note 10s dpi.

I haven't noticed the brightness thing though. I'll pay more attention now to see.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] irie.irie:
NB. Splendor did sell out late yesterday afternoon (UK time) - just as I was in the process of finalising my order - however I can confirm that they have since restocked as I have ordered successfully this morning, and good comms from them too :)

does Barclays banking app work on Chinese phone? i know they are strick on security does anyone use on Chinese phone thanks in advance
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] piskr:
I can't vouch, but I used Google pay on one of my previous models - Honor 8. It worked well although the phone was pure Chinese. I got through with Chinese apps too. There are some advantages using China model. Otas are faster and I had some more progressive apps (like online music, call recorder...). Otherwise I use Google apps a lot (dialer, mail, messages..) and I'm not strongly affected with Chinese exotic. Simply freezed them. Btw you have them in international models too.

Can anyone confirm if google contacts sync will work (show contacts in dialler) if I import the Chinese version into Australia?

This post linked below is 2 years old, but I've see this problem pop up numerous times for others who have imported the chinese version. Does anyone know if this is still an issue?

Basically google contacts won't show up in the dialler. (Which is massive problem for me as that's where all my contacts are...)

REF: https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/playstore-google-contacts-chinese-mate-8-t3397796?nocache=1

EDIT: Just went on live chat at liaow.com and they said Google Contacts sync will work and contacts will show up in dialler.

I also asked if they know when International version is released they replied:

"Huawei doesn't announce a releasing date of it yet,

But the China ROM gets multi-language and it gets faster firmware updated, so i think it is better."

Hello everybody,

Does anyone know if and how to order on the site vmall.com ?

Although I have registered there, but despite successful login,

I will not appear there as logged in, or can also put any items in the cart.

Because there can be the Mate 20 X for

5999 yuan ~ 760 € (8GB + 256GB)

4999 yuan ~ 634 € (6GB + 128GB)

be ordered...

Thanks in advance

I'd rather have the global version but the extra 2gb of ram and an extra 128gb storage is a big plus the 256gb 8gb version will never come global plus the chinese model has call recorder which is somtimes usefull
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
Can anyone confirm that the China version is the only 8/256GB version? so the "Global" version will not be 8/256GB? That will make my decision quicker to purchase the China version instead of waiting for the International version, as I will not waste my time buying a nano sd card to expand storage.

antiochasylum I purchased the China version of the Honor Note 8 2 years ago when it came out, and overall I had no issues with it here in the US, just a few things annoyed me where the chinese wording prevented me to use a few apps, but nothing that disappointed my purchase. And if the 8/256GB version is confirmed only to be China version then I'll be getting that one, and being alot of the china apps can be removed makes it just as appealing.

I see an AliExpress vendor with good reviews whose been operating for a long time selling the 6gb silver version for the same price Huawei does, 5000 RMB/700usd.

Is there any compelling reason for me to not buy it from them? Because it seems like sellers like Wonda, liaow, funky, etc are all selling it for 200 usd markup.

My L29 is Widevine L3.

I had 2 updates when I turned it on, I'm on emui 9.0.0.127.

Dear all,

May I know Mate 20 X is using UFS or eMMC storage

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
You need patch02 update.

Btw does anyone know what icon this is?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] iantaylor27:

It's using ufs
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Er Pupone:
OK. Thanks!

But did it come after an update or did you do something to change it to L1?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Update, but you still need custom apk for Youtube and Netflix to get HD and HDR to work. just like on the Note 10. EVR-L29 works out of the box.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] stestesteste:
Yeah it came after update it works on YouTube fine netfix for now needed modded one till they update things
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
No I got the pen cause i already got the 256GB version so I wouldnt need to get a Nano Card, which I dont see it taking off as a standard anytime soon. So I opted for the pen, but then emailed Splendor and told them what another member here said when they listed is as only a pen and got held at customs and told them to write electronic pen and hope it passes through, unfortunately I thought about it after it shipped and Stylus would have been better as a description, but we shall see.

:good:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] eNiNjA83:
Yep Same here. FedEx called me 2 hrs before it was scheduled to be delivered and asked if there was ink in the pen lol. I had to reassure the lady twice it was just a electronic stylus for use only with the phone. That's when she said ok, it will be delivered by Monday :eek:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Er Pupone:
So I understand that even there is L1 after update, there is a need of downloading mods apk to watch in HD?

So then where did you download it? Phone was not blocked?

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Thanks!

Which modded apk did you download?

And I do not understand why there is a need of downloading those apks to watch in HD if there is L1....

Is it the same for the global version?

Where did you buy the chinese btw?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] AngelDeath:
I just realized while I was trolling the net, that the Honor note 8 is actually slightly larger then the Mate 20x, the real difference is they just made the 20x bezel-less, if they did that to the honor note 8 we would have already had a 7.2" screen. (Obviously hardware upgrades omitted)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] GJQ:
Thanks. From where you get the information

You got the chinese version, right? If the global one work out of thz box, then why to get the chinese one where we gotta install modded apk to watch in HD?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
No i have the EVR-L29, my Note 10 is Chinese.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Er Pupone:

Do you live in the US? Or in Europe?

Because I live in Europe and the Honor Note 10 doesn't support all the bands of my carrier in my country, reason why I didn't purchase it. Same for Honor 8X Max...

Now I'm looking forward to getting the Mate 20 X.

You bought it on Wondamobile?

Are you happy with your 20 X? Really much better than your Note 10?

Just for the better specs like 256gb and 8gb of ram plus the more chance of getting unlocked bootloder plus i like the call recorder option plus updates are more frequent , they both have their pluses and minuses but the Chinese model does everything the global does but with better specifications

Performance mode under battery. Also the screen on my M10P also reverted back to auto after reboot. I have also seen the screen become dim and brighter out of nowhere.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] GaryLe85:
Same for me! I realised my device had rebooted due to a second update, but when I checked Netflix it was only showing in 540p and DRM Info reverted back to L3 ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] cloud1:
So basically on the L29 version out of the box it's NOT Widevine L1, it's L3.

There's a 2.8mb update you run to get L1 which people should run.

After you have that installed there is another 250mb ish update available which breaks L1 again, giving you L3.

So I'd say at the moment L29 users should only install the small 2.8mb update.

Given that the Chinese version doesn't really have any drawbacks in wondering if I bought the right model! It's amazingly fast though.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
So when mine arrives I should do 1 update for now until we know more?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
patch02 is the last update and makes it L1 again.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Thanks! Very strange that it was on.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] cloud1:
Patch 02 isn't available for at least 2 of us, so it's not a guarantee of L1 at this point in time.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Genoveffo:
The guy in this video reviewhttps://youtu.be/HRFHAo3eW8k[/url] (link in italian) says he has problems receiving whatsapp and telegram notifications using mobile data on the cinese version. More specifically he says that he needs to open the specific app to then receive all the relative notifications. Do you confirm that on yours (chinese version) you receive instant email, whatsapp, telegram and facebook messenger push notification under both wifi and cellular networks even when phone screen is off?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
I think it has to do with what particular apps people use. On my HN8, I get most notifications with a few exceptions. Facebook Messenger does not actively send notifications unless the app is open. Snapchat and Outlook are the same way. If the apps have a widget on the home screen, everything works fine. If they don't have widgets, it's hit or miss. This has been my experience. Others might not have had these issues.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] stestesteste:
Might be data provider but no problems here at all ,, you see the odd negative review but if this was the case it would have it's own thread with loads of complaints

Chinese versions
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] turilo:
So after reading a bunch of these posts, seems it doesn't really matter on purchasing the Global version or Chinese.

Chinese model seems to get updates quicker and supports all bands. Also possible of a bootloader unlock in the future.

I don't really watch Netflix on my device which isn't a problem.

Also here in Canada I have someone local selling the Chinese Mate 20 X 128gb for $1070 taxes in.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] scienceguylabs:
I came here looking for the same thing.

I like the way Samsung has their pen as part of the device itself, although I've never used a Samsung phone. Since the M-Pen is rather large and, for some, easily misplaced, I was wondering if there might be a case available that has a slot or a tab/loop for the pen.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jwoody86:
Probably one of the wallet style cases would work maybe?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Er Pupone:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Er Pupone:
I'm glad to read it! But it is just that I heard a lot of people saying that chinese versions are L3 and without modded apks you cannot watch in HD....did you install modded apks?

You don't get notifications issues as well?

But then if your 8GB AL00 versions works totally fine, I am glad and maybe we should also consider buying this one...

But are you located in Europe or US?
