My main phone is currently a Huawei Honor 2 (U9508).
I am very happy with it, but I want to upgrade to a P7 so that I have a bigger screen and NFC.
I have not seen anything official about different versions (except the Arsenal Version).
As is typical with Chinese phones, some vendors specifications vary wildly.
I know about the 2nd SIM/SD card slot, but some reviews say that this is only on a Chinese market version.
Are there really different versions (other than the graphics / color)
Do all versions have the same 3G bands?
Is it a pentaband 3G phone like my Honor 2?
Do all versions have HFC?
Do all versions have the same amount of RAM?
Thanks!
I answered (some of) my own questions.
Once I found that the models were designated P7-LXX, I was able to find lots of info; particularly this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643183
In particular, I link to this site (German, but you just need to look at the table):
http://www.huaweiblog.de/handys/huawei-ascend-p7-uebersicht-der-versionen/
I guess that world wide, the P7-L10 is the most common.
I would want that or P7-L16, if it is even available.
I still don't have a trust worthy list of bands supported in the P7-L10 vs the P7-L16.

Hey,
if you take a quick look at the T-mobile forums you'll see that development flourish and is really amazing there- there are more ROMS/Kernels/and development in general then there is on 910F/G/U COMBINED.
Now i'll be referring specifically to the the International/910F veriant-because it has the exact same SoC as the T-mobile version.. and from my quick research it has the exact same hardware as well,fully.(including same supported frequencies, etc). For those of us that are not devs(which I can imagine are the absolut most of the users here/on these forums) - this is extremely annoying , as we all bought the phone and came to XDA to enjoy the amazing things people do with it. I'ts only numbers which doesn't necessarily mean anything but just for a quick comparison, just to see what I'm talking about- the T-mobile ''android development'' forums has as of right now 34 threads and 18,761 posts compared to 21 threads and 3,642 Posts on our ''International'' version.. which is insane bc this its the same phone just only under a carrier brand, and we can't enjoy any of it.
The thing is, what can we do about it? can't there be a way(for both sides- 910F/T-mobile) to flash one another ROMS/Mods? and why does Samsung make an insane amount of models for the same phone? if its modem related then it doesn't make sense as some models have the same frequencies supported.
as I said, I feel cheated, and annoyed. not only there was the annoyance of having two SoCs- exynos and SD and practically splitting the userbase, now there's even more verients under the same SoC and splitting the userbase even more.
I feel like it was a mistake buying a samsung phone.
I agree with you. It's annoying. Some roms from t-mobile note 4 are excellent
Just my opinion, but if it have same hardware, I'm sure you can use them..
My country got the the lowest variants, 910H. Do you able to see development thread for it ? Only 1 custom rom as far as I remember, and the devs already change his phone to other variants.
So we owner of 910H variants just experimenting with 910C based rom because they have identical hardware (same exynos SoC, in fact same modem hardware which samsung said have difference in that area), and it's work, and we also got LTE capabilities which is blocked with official 910H rom.
Once again, if it have 100% identical hardware, I'll say it will work
Trade you my 910w8 for the 910F
Hi! I've been reading plenty of reviews of the p9 and there seem to be some inconsistencies, maybe you guys can help me find the right answer.
1. Two lenses. In some reviews it says that the two lenses are never used at the same time, in other it says that they indeed are used at the same time and complement each other.
2. Connectivity. In some reviews it says that in the U.S. you won't be able to use LTE, since some bands are missing.
3. NFC. I'm almost sure it has nfc, but some reviews say that it's not there.
Thanks
1) dont know, don't know how to check
2) LTE works in the US. Check the bands, and if you dont want to manually check them you can use www.willmyphonework.net
3) The L09 verison has NFC. You can see which other models do or dont on this site http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/p9/index.html under "technical specifications" half way down.
1. Yes, it uses both lenses when shooting colour according to what I've read (the monochrome sensor allows for finer detail to be captured).
2. As long as you buy the international versions of the P9 (L09, L19, L29), it will work in North America.
3. Of the international versions of the phone, only the L09 has NFC and expandable storage (but only comes with 3GB of RAM & 32GB memory; the L19 & L29 have dual sim and 3GB/4GB respectively)

Thanks guys, very helpful. I think that if Huawei would be clearer on the specs the reviews would be even better. Another common misconception is that it doesn't support fast charge, when in reality it does support it but it doesdidn't come with fastcharger..

The non-carrier specific models sold only in China also support LTE networks in the US. These domestic models actually support more LTE bands than the international models and pretty much work in Asia, North America and Europe. Besides they are cheaper than the international models if you can lend you hands on them. But be careful because there are also carrier locked models sold in China.
All, domestic and international, but one model of P9 are dual sim and do NOT support NFC. The L09 international model is the only one that is single sim and supports NFC.
So I've been browsing around XDA and I have concluded that the best version of the s10 is the snapdragon variant, but I also want an unlocked boot loader and dual sim so I'm considering this one that is a Chinese version:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Ga...hash=item3405ba151d:m:m-IqwLrG6T3v2zoeCJ4lo0A
It is a SM-G9700
But because it is Chinese I'm not sure if it has google on it (and I don't want to go out of my way to install it) but it also might be a Hong Kong model with google? any information on this would be appreciated, thank you!
Many people here who got it from that seller, confirmed that it has Google services preinstalled. Carrier aggregation may not work however as someone said on US T-mobile at least. The phone also lacks band 66 and band 71 both LTE bands, 71 being more important as T-mobile expands coverage.
honestly, unless youre some kind of heavy/advanced user, I doubt youd see SO much difference in everyday usage that makes all this hassle worth it.
I'd just buy whatever is available locally for an average user.

Also if he plays heavy games and emulators, that's where he may prefer to choose the Snapdragon variant (Talking from my own experience, not coming back to a non snapdragon/adreno device never again).
Not to mention that the Snapdragon bootloader is unlocked in China ironically. And further if you need dual-sim functionality your choices are that one or the 97xF/DS. Which unless he lives in Mexico or Central America is not available locally.
I've made my decision it's going to be the 9700 series but there is some questions I have around the dual-sim functionality and how that may vary between models.
I've browsed through the forum, as well as in the web and could not find the answers to my question.
I've been seeing throughout (Nubia's website, gsmarena, ebay listings) that different "versions" of the device are compatible with different bands.
With that said, I haven't seen different versions of the device around and it's not clear to me if there even are two versions.
Is it the case that whether you flash the NA v103 vs the EU v203 ROM, there'll be different band compatibility?
Has anyone used the device in the US? Is the reception good? (I'm on Metropcs)
If I buy it from this link (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nubia-Z20-...hash=item2cf91a8a75:m:msBr-AqyOKf-4kOGzQXk8Og), would I get the NA version?
Also, how is the device with security updates?
I use the z20 on AT&T. Cell signal is good, wifi signal is very strong.
As far as security updates, not a single one. So if that's important to u, I'd skip it.
I have the US version on Tmobile, and it works fine (purchased from Nubia directly). I can't respond about some offering on ebay.

I highly doubt it but does it support Wi-Fi calling and HD Voice?
I don't know why you doubt it but it does support wifi calling, I am not sure if it will support HD.
Hi, I can't seem to find anything that compares different models within OnePlus 10 pro range.
I want to buy on and local guy has a NE2210 available but I want to see what are differences if anyone has a comparison list of all NExxx.
Thanks
hi, no difference. only regional software differences. legal obligations. There are Chinese or global model ranges, each with only a 5g difference, but they both work.
