Hi, I have bought a huawei p20 pro with 8gb of ram and 128gb of storage. I have never seen the likes of it but it is a chinese version. I thought it was not original at first, but i checked the serial number on Huawei's site and it is original! Now i want to debrand it as i need to install the EU firmware. Will this decrease the 8gb of ram to 6gb?

Since when Software changes effect the Hardware, that if you use some other software it will decrease or increase your Hardware capabilities? So answer is no it won't effect any Hardware.
take a screenshot of your specs, it should keep them intact after rebranding.

Hilarious... well as i recall since i would be changing my kernel, doesn't the allowed size of ram decrease? I had an xperia x8 back in the day and with a particular kernel, I had gained more ram!
Maybe it's a new model or a fake, I just got a second hand Chinese version and it is called CLT-AL00 not CLT-L00. And it comes with the standard 6gb of ram.
Download antutu benchmark and see if it recognise your model.
Secondary can you please point me in the right direction for rebranding the phone so it becomes an European version?
Thanks
No it is no fake. When the p20 pro got released i read a review with official huawei statment about the 8gb model. If i find it again i will post it here. It was a special edition like the rs porsche etc.

While comparing Realme X2 Pro Master edition and OnePlus 7T Pro Mclaren
Realme X2 Pro Master edition wins with the features listed as
1) Cost wise - value for money for mostly same hardware. Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus, 12 GB RAM, 256GB Internal Storage
2) 50w Charging - 0 to 100% battery in less than 30 minutes with 2 Battery (Total 4000 mAh)
3) Headphone Jack - big winner for many who still loves wired headphones or earphones
4) 4 Cameras - Higher 64MP , 20x Zoom and 2MP Macro Depth Portrait Sensor
5) No movable selfy/front camera with teardrop display - Eliminates mechanical wear and tear
OnePlus 7T Pro Mclaren wins with OxygenOS
Paying almost twice the price of Realme X2 Pro Master edition for OxygenOs is not worthy.
Realme X2 Pro Master edition needs plenty of custom OS to balance what Color OS is lacking and Dev support for this Hardware Beast in XDA is essential and will encourage Devs to lend their help . Doesn't these features listed above excite many? Please do share your inputs and recommendations to help others.:good:
Hmm, only difference between normal 12GB X2 pro and a master edition is that special colours and 6P lens over 5P or there's something more ? If that's all there is no point to pay more for the same stuff you can get in normal 12GB model over Master Edition IMO
Edit. Also Master Edition is not available as a global as far as I know but 12/256 is.
Making this type of posts is imo useless ! Can't understand what is your objective with this .
Justify the purchase of your X2 Pro ?
I will say what does the OP7T Pro has better then .
Cameras - they use Sony sensors instead of Samsung , each camera has more lenses l elements for less distortion and more clarity . The software is waaaaay better . Low light you can't even compare .
Hardware - yes it doesn't have headphone jack but what the X2 Pro has isn't any good too ! Has too much background noise and you can't use higher ampedince headphones , it's restricted to basic earphones. Better built quality ( can't understand why the X2 Pro has a lip between the screen and the body so prenounce ) .
OS - do I really need to talk about it ? I will say just one thing ... OxygenOS my friend ? and no nonsense bootloader and FP restinctions .
Special edition - are you really going to compare a McLaren edition to the master edition? Jesus
Charging - the 50W on the X2pro is the same thing off oppo and here is the defining factor of the X2 Pro for now ! The ONLY phone with such a fast charging ( we need to wait to see the problems of this in the future ) .
I thing I made my point .
Don't dish what you can't buy ! The OP7T Pro has a place ! And it's well earned !
If I could buy it I would and most people here on XDA .
Be realistic . I love my X2 Pro and until now I don't regret buying it . But it's not the best thing ever !
I picked the X2 pro over op7t... The plus on the X2 pro over the 7t are more important to me. 3.5mm jack is fine and usable and I'd much prefer it over not having one. Camera is excellent if used correctly. 12gb 256gb storage and over £100 cheaper then the 7t... I also prefer the cooler temperature screen. Colour os at least on the European version is nice and clean and works as it should and is nothing like what people try to make out. I love oxygen but its no Saint and according to the 7,7 pro,7t community forums it still has issues that I had on my 6t at launch like the phone powering down and only turning back on with a button combination and the ****ty double tap to wake working intermittently. There's pros and cons to both but for me the X2 pro is the better device.

Master edition with Global firmware was released in India a week before and soon in Europe and USA.
Realme X2 Pro price in USD equivalent as on 10/Jan/20 from flipkart
6GB RAM 64GB Memory - $394.16
8GB RAM 128GB Memory - $422.21
12GB RAM 256GB Memory - $478.51
Master edition 12GB RAM - $492.53
Really interested to buy this over the Oneplus 7T Pro, if only Oneplus sticked to their original price range then they could have been the Flagship killer they've been known for, now they're trying hard to be Samsung XD.
Anyway, is the development scene for this device promising enough to warrant a purchase? Before I start to purchase a new device my normal practice is to check the XDA community if it has some Custom OS flavor
Thanks in advance for those who can share their wisdom.

Ye, you're right, that's actually the only difference. It'd be wise for realme to sell master editions on other markets, but it's only in chinese and Indian version
At such a price we are getting :-
1:- Still Battery Charging King in 2020
2:- Dual stereo speakers with dolby
3:- 855+ ufs3.0
4:- Headphone jack
5:- Superamoled
6:- (Fast app load, boot time,fp and face unlock) even beats iPhone 11 pro max.
Hi everybody, I'm selling my Zenfone 6z to buy a new phone i love the rog phone 2 also if it has not a SD slot (I use SD to keep documents when I change phone). My question is: is it worth to buy a 899 Euro phone with snapdragon 855+ while next April there will be a lot of new snapdragon 865 phones even cheaper (redmi,realme,etc)?
Second question do both USB type c port support otg?
Thanks!

Redmi and Realme isnt the same level as the ROGPHONE 2...
I myself have a Redmi Note 8 Pro just for macro shots. The rest is done on my ROGPHONE 2.

Well, thank you for your answer, my only doubt about redmi and realme, also oppo, is the software. If I'll buy one of them, the redmi k30 pro is interesting, I change the software for sure, I prefer android stock roms.
it's worth it if you buy tencent version and flash international software. you can get it for as low as 450 euros.

As the collegue above said, is so, so worthy if you buy the 430€ tencent version (now it's around 450€ normally). It's an amazing phone for daily use. Just the camera is an 8.5/10 with A10 (better than A9), but with GCam the results are amazing enough. Buy it!! I bought it like some weeks ago

Well, I found the tencent 12/512 at 800 euros, the global at 899 euro, but the tencent has less lte bands and here in Italy is better to get as many as you can... And for 99 Euros less I will get just 3 months warranty instead of normal 2 years...

SD 865 is now the standard.
90 to 120 Hz also becoming standard.
If the heavy weight, lack of 5g, no IR blaster or SD card and average camera aren't a problem for you then this is an excellent all round phone.

Well 5g is not a very big problem, it will take a couple of year to work in entire Italian territory. The IR and SD are options i like, but have you any valid alternative?
I haven't really been looking for alternatives since I got this phone.
A quick search suggested the Poco X2 / Redmi K30.....mid range phone though...

Yes, i discovered also Vivo Nex but I will not get stock Android...So at this point I think I'll go for rog 2 12/512 and I'll use GCam for camera and otg for my SD documents, maybe I can find a small otg adapter and keep it always connected to the phone. Thanks!

Thanks, I'm looking for a flat cable microsd to USB type C to keep the memory always connected. I found something similar for arduino, but if I find the correct one I'll be very happy.
If you found something tell us , thanks

Hello, i looking to buying the Realme X50 5g on Aliexpress, but the only available version is the chinese official rom. Has anyone bought the phone with that rom installed? Whats your experience with it?
I have read that since the phone doesn't come with google play services installed and the apps that relies on google ofter fail and have trouble displaying notifications. Is this true?
And have you had any other problem with the device?
Lastly, in your opinion is it worth it to buy chinese rom phones to save a couple of bucks?
Thanks!
Realme x50 5G 12/256 Rom
I see that he is a little aggressive with the changes
In my case, I am from Mexico and I will have to use it in English. Although I see many apps that come in English and Chinese
I have not yet managed to put my Nova launcher or Chrome as main
I like to check all the applications. Then I will try to put all my data
I hope here I can find and solve all my doubts

I bought this as the Chinese rom has English language as well as Chinese. I had to install g apps manually afterwards. found a web site that showed how to remove most of the Chinese system apps using adb. Still cannot get rid if Breen (voice command thing) and their own "Apps Market" app. This phone has a much better wifi and mobile signal than previous phone (Umidigi Z2 SE) I will never buy Umidigi again.
This phone (x50 5g) is the best bang for buck on aliexpress. It can be had for $230 incl shipping. does 333k in antutu better than 301k realme v5. same price as v5 better than realme 6/ 6 pro.
has almost every 4g band you will ever need. Just use it as 4g phone since you cant use the 5g bands anywhere except china. has excellent build quality, metal frame, gorilla 5 front and back. 120hz refresh rate. 30w fast charging, image stabilization.
I feel sorry for people buying this phone in Europe. 400 euros seems way to much when you can get china version for half the price. also stupid oneplus nord. why buy that one over this phone? its all the same company anyways. I don't see why this phone isn't more popular. I think its my next phone. like the above poster said, you can install google playstore and remove the chinese bloatware over ADB.
Hello all,
I would like to ask some of the owners in here some things since it's very difficult to find answers elsewhere.
First of all i would like to say that i'm between Vivo and Mi 11 Ultra.
1. Are you happy with battery life? Review sites say that battery life is mediocre, even worse than Mi 11 ultra. I'm a heavy user so i would hate if i have to charge the phone mid-day. Your impressions?
2. If i buy the phone from Tradingshenzen does it come with Chinese Rom? Is there such a thing like Global Rom which you can use to flash the phone?
In general how is the general idea of the phone?
I haven't had the phone for enough time and i don’t have a sim in it yet to comment on battery life. But regarding your question 2, if you are an English speaker in a country outside of China, my opinion is ONLY buy the Global version made and primarily sold in India. I had a Chinese version of the x60 Pro+ and only had problems using it here in the USA. Many notifications only in the Chinese language, lack of complete Google services, poor notifications (mail, sms, ring video camera, ESPN - not reliable.) I attempted to solve some of the problems by tweaking some of the code through adb and enabling some developer options in settings. But eventually I gave up and sold it. Now I have the x70 Pro+ from India and I love it. System software is solid with all Google services, screen is terrific, I like the size and the rounded edges. Notifications come through solidly. Everything in English. No need to tweak.
There is no option to flash and change the rom to global at the moment. The only option is to buy the global vesrion which is much more expensive and very close to S21 ultra and S22 ultra (https://www.ebay.it/itm/255221595456?hash=item3b6c647d40:g:A40AAOSwOZlhXqsW). With mi11 ultra is much easier but I have the same thoughts and I would buy vivo, but I could have xiaomi for around 675 £ from wonda.
Thank you very much for your replies.
I am from Europe, do you know any website which sells the Global version and ships to Europe?
I am from Poland and I did good research. I have sent it above,you can buy it only on Ebay. All other shops sell the CN version which is significatnly cheeper. I hope vivo will uclock the bootloader and it will be possible to flash the rom. In the other hand the S22 ultra will be cheeper than Vivo x70 pro plus (global ebay) and in my opinion is better to wait for X80 and hope they will sell global vesrion. I still wait for the price for OP 10 pro for EU.

Thank your for your reply. It's a pity we can unlock the bootloader. Any news about the X80 release?
I really like their camera and i want to use the phone mostly for photos and videos.
Unfortunately, people were working on that wihout success. Regarding the release, I have found some information that this will happen or on 17th of February or in the summer of 2022. But the most important question is if there is a global version or if they sell the device in EU. I have pixel 4a and I'm looking for a new phone. FOr me the same, the most important are photos and maybe in 5% recording of the movies and working Android auto.
I think i will just make my friend send me the Pixel 6 Pro.
It's taking too long to wait.
Also i only want to buy the 512GB version of these phones
I would buy pixel but in Poland there is no google store, therefore 5g, volte and vowifi is not working. Mobile operators do not cooperate with google
