where can I order the right model to use in Canada GSM network ? - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi there
I am planning to sell my Samsung S7 and replace it with a Huawei P9. Any idea which model I should order to get 4G connections in Canada ?
Please kindly advise ASAP.

First figure out what LTE bands your wireless carrier uses.
Take a look at http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p9-7972.php for P9 models and the different LTE bands available on each.
As I understand it, you'll probably want the P9 EVA-L09 version. This is a single SIM model with most of the Western LTE bands. According to the specs, this model is the only one that has NFC. So if you want to use NFC for Android Pay, this model is most likely to work with it.
Most of the P9 models currently available to buy now are the Chinese models from what I can see. I would avoid the Chinese models because they lack LTE bands for the US (and Canada I'm guessing) and they are missing NFC.
The P9 EVA-L09 is just now being released in Europe so they'll become more available in the coming months. This is the model I'd look for.

I am using the Chinese EVA-AL10 on Rogers and it shows '4G' in the notification bar above signal strength indicator.

I have only had it a few days but my first impressions are very good. I was using a S6 Edge+ and I am enjoying the smaller size for a change. The form factor and build quality are excellent. I did not use the native EMUI much as I have always used the Nova launcher and customized it to my liking. As for the camera, I cannot comment properly yet as I have not used it enough, especially with regard to low light performance. However the monochrome camera is nice and a real differentiator from other phones.

Zuk z1 international version bands

Does anyone know which bands the international version of this phone supports?
Thanks!
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
Nobody knows, waiting on the same thing, right now some stores in china are selling a "international version" of the phone but is the same phone just with CM12.1 and only have the LTE bands supported in china, not the ones we use in USA, so unless they release a US specific version LTE will not work on the US.
I tired to contact ZUK sales to confirm the bands, but no reply from them.
zuk.hk only shows chinese bands, but I can't believe they would release a phone to international markets without proper bands. That would be like shooting their own legs.
The chinese version would work for me though, only "semi-needed" band would be 4G band 20 (800MHz), which is quite new in Finland and used mainly outside bigger cities. Price of Z1 though is a killer, even though it is not as high spec'd as OnePlus Two, it is still an upgrade for OPO with cheaper price tag...
The only spec that the OnePlus 2 has higher than the Z1 is the CPU, but I prefer a SD 801 way more than a SD810 and his heating problems

What I've heard is that SD810 doesn't heat so much with the OnePlus 2, but maybe that's because it's underclocked (or that's what I've heard).
Other than that, they are quite similar. OnePlus 2 has 1GB more ram in the 64GB version though, but who needs 4gigs in a phone, really.... =)
But for me, ZUK Z1 seems like a good choice with bigger battery, USB-C 3.0 and cyanogen os out of the box. If I would buy these phones now, it would be (in euros):
OnePlus 2: ~425eur (incl. shipment) ~476USD
ZUK Z1: ~293eur (incl. shipment) ~328USD
hmm, not a hard choice
These are the bands:
TDD-LTE (bands: 38 39 40 41)
FDD-LTE (bands: 1 3 7)
TD- SCDMA (bands: 34 39)
WCDMA (850 900 1900 2100 MHz)
CDMA2000 (800MHz)
GSN/EDGE(850 900 1800 1900 MHz)
CDMA (800MHz)
There are quite a few reviews out now from people in the states. I saw one from zdnet this morning. And another from android headlines. It looks like they tried testing the device on T-Mobile and att and lte was not supported. From what I gather they got early release test devices that were in fact the international variant. So it looks like no lte for the states which is a major deal breaker. Otherwise this would have been the perfect phone for me.

My only hope is that they are testing the Chinese version with the International software..
There is no point in selling the international version to the US if it misses lte bands altogether..
I also hope that the new Zuk coming in January with the new Snapdragon will support all bands...
Is it me or all these international /Chinese brands always build the almost perfect phone? They get so close and mess up on the important stuff...

I was thinking the same thing. However I don't think missing the mark is just limited to the Chinese for example. The blu xl that just got released would have been absolutely perfect had it not been for it being 6 inches and bigger than the nexus 6! It is everything the new moto x pure is plus a finger print sensor for 349 US. Why in the hell they would stick with the sweet spot that everyone else is going with between 5.2 and 5.7 inches in beyond me. But yes lots of companies so close to the perfect phone this year. I can live without NFC even though I would really like to use Android pay. But no lte in the US is an absolute deal breaker.

Agreed.
Another example of a smaller brand getting almost everything right with the blu xl.
Blu has tons of phones and for their international debut they bring out this size "monster"..

Most likely they did test Chinese version with CM12.1 installed (not Cyanogen OS). There's bunch of sellers on Aliexpress that provide this phone with CM12.1 or similar ROM inside and Google Play also.
Still no confirmed information from Lenovo, ZUK or whatever, which brands are included in the "international" model. I agree that Chinese bands are a huge showstopper for US, but mainly OK for EU. Some bands missing, but nothing huge.

NO NFC on Chinese Version AL10 P9 Plus

It was mentioned in another post that the Chinese variant of the P9 Plus. I'm making another post just to help others from making the same mistake as I did. I totally bought this phone (AL-10) expecting it to have NFC and was quite disappointed to find out the phone didn't have NFC . I tried to return the phone the next day, but of course, Chinese return policies aren't quite as flexible as North America. I was totally pumped to be able to use Android pay.
I wonder if the phone NFC capable but the Chinese version of EMUI somehow has it disabled at the software level? AL-10)

Thanks! I already read that post. But I was wondering if the NFC is perhaps just disabled on the software level. I know sometimes OEM's can disable phone features at the software level even though the capability may be present in the hardware.
My options at this point are to just tough it out and have no NFC/Android pay, sell the phone and but the international variant, or wait for Huawei to come out with a smartwatch that has NFC and pair it with the phone.

Anyone here with the VIE-AL10 model can tell me the frequencies available on the phone ?
I would like to know from inside the phone itself, where there is the option to activate and use the different frequencies, what is available. I found different specifications on different websites and even the Huawei website does not list the VIE-AL10 . I want to make sure that I will be able to use it in the USA and in Europe as well .
Thank you very much

Wowwwww. I made the same mistake. (side note I also can't seem to get force touch to work). Android pay is sort of a deal breaker for me. Very disappointing the Huawei website didn't seem to indicate this model would not have NFC. I think I might try to resell it. Really lame.

Pre-sales questions for owners

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.

New info about the Mate 10 Pro and Porsche for the US market.

In the course of adding rebranding support to the Mate 10 Pro/Porsche US editions as part of FunkyHuawei (Please see this post for details: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75279649&postcount=711 ) I can confirm the following:
1. The Mate 10 Pro and Porsche for sale in the US are re-purposed AT&T BLA-A09 devices. Other countries have the BLA-L29 or BLA-L09 so this is a US-centric codename, but in fact the hardware is identical.
2. The US edition of the Mate 10 Pro is single-sim. The Mate 10 Pro Porsche for the US market is also single-sim (other markets had dual sim porsche design editions). This is because they originally intended to release the phone with AT&T, which obviously wouldn't want them to release a dual-sim phone. If you live in the US and want dual sim, you're better off buying an international model and rebranding it, so you can have the dual sim functionality.
3. The US edition of the Mate 10 Pro/Porsche (or devices rebranded to the US branding) will support VoLTE on T-Mobile, but not VoWifi. However it does support both VoLTE and VoWifi on AT&T. If you want to check what is supported for your own MCC/MNC please look at this list, it's pulled from the US firmware:
https://pastebin.com/BGtr3VhT
If anyone wants to know more, you can ask in this thread or in the FunkyHuawei thread. We'll probably have many users rebranding to it and using it in the US soon.

Generally the only differences are logos and branding and themes.
So does tmobile still have beef with huawei over stealing stuff? Feel like just about any recent unlocked flagship supports wifi calling on tmobile, most noticeably oneplus. I believe you could get axon7 working too.
What's the difference between VoLTE and a service like Google Voice that works with data? I mean if you have an LTE data connection and you're using a service like GV isn't that VoLTE by definition? Wouldn't the same apply for WhatsApp, Skype, Telegram etc if you were on an LTE connection? I don't really understand why VoLTE is hyped so much.

Volte would work for the native dialer. Using a secondary app is not something many folks in the US want to do (see imessage)
would there ever be a CDMA version at all ? I have a Verizon sim and tmobile I would love to use both sims or at least Verizon on the mate pro
Do you know if the current US branded firmwares are signed and will pass the safetynet test so I can use android pay? The earlier firmware version wasn’t so I rebranded back to the European version. Am in ATT and would love VoLTE and WiFi calling again but not if I can’t use android pay

You can use Google Voice on the primary dialler and as your primary number and also forward all calls from GV to your primary number.
just ordered a Huawei Mate 10 Pro International BLA-L29 for my wife and would like to rebrand to AT&T. i have a few questions regarding rebranding to ATT firmware:
is the FunkyHuawei ATT rebranded firmware the same that's [expected to be] installed on the US versions when they go on sale 18-Feb?
if i rebrand to ATT would i be able to root the device? if yes, will rooting disable some phone features?
on my Exynos Note 8, VoLTE and Wifi calling with ATT service will work if you (a) apply the ATT CSC (vendor config) to your rooted device using TWRP and (b) use the imei of an ATT device that supports those features. i'm hopeful that the same setup works for the Mate 10 Pro. thanks for taking time to respond to my questions.

It will not work on verizon for calls/texts.
isn't it all the same hardware?
Is the phone suppose to be on AT&T and Verizon before of political pressure and decided not to work with Huawei?
so the phone should works on both carriers, unless they plan to come out with 2 version??? hardware wise?
also, on the phone, it says 4G and a little + sign?
what does the + sign for?
I know in US is suppose to say 4G = 3.5 G and real 4G = LTE
but since this is a international version 4G should be LTE? but a + sign?
@duraaraa, i had heard that, in spite of being seen as expensive by most, people were nonetheless willing to pay up because your customer service was second to none!
However, unfortunately, i can't share their opinion; I've tried to reach you at least 3 times in the past, which, not having expected it to be warranted to have to "insist", i didn't document dates and times (for different reasons which, at the end, I've had to solve all without your expected assistance.)
Recently, i actually used the official means, per the "Contact" tab at FH Club. It's nearing the 3-digit hour mark, and i think it's time you at least tell me (or, maybe it's "US, the (no pun intended, U.S. customers) to take a hike and stop wasting my time and yours.
I'm approaching you in the most respectful manner, which I realize may be difficult to fully see when in writing. I am also fully aware of your Terms and Conditions which state that FH reserves the right to at any time and for any or no reason, stop providing support without having to issue so much as a cent paid for given service.
Lastly, it hasn't always been "Big, Bad Duraaraa; i acknowledge you have provided me input at other times in the past.
Thank you in advance for your time.
Does that mean U.S phones will be able to rebrand for better software support? O:

US Rog Phone ship to Canada

Hi guys, I've noticed a lot people (both US and Canada) using the Tencent version of the phone (ie 8GB, 128GB).
I don't want the Tencent versions, I want the 12GB international version, however Asus still has no info availability in Canada.
Since some US stores are now carrying the 12GB US version of the ROG phone, is there any drawback to me ordering one and shipping it to Canada? Will OTA still work?

Hi,
I bought mine (non-Tencent) from bhphotovideo. I am receiving OTA updates without issues in Canada.
It's a great phone, but yes, it is heavy and bulky.
Loving that screen and those stereo speakers, though!

Koodo; no issues getting a 4G signal.
Never noticed any red tint.
The camera is fine, but not the biggest selling point. I'm no photographer, so I'm pleased with what is offered with the two lenses.
I'm in Canada with both the Tencent model and US model from Bh video. Both work perfectly under Bell and SaskTel networks 4G+ LTE. OTA updates work flawlessly on both and performance is identical on the two. Only advantage is storage capacity on the US model and extra LTE bands
Hopefully we will receive the Android 10 update just as quickly, should it ever come to this phone...

Good to know. I guess the VoLte doesn't affect Canadians so much. Current using Mate 20 X. And it's STELLER. This phone looks interesting though.
