Just bought a Huawei P9 Plus - but no NFC nor force touch ??

First off - the camera app (which is why I bought it) and aperture mode is awesome. Also the hardware is so sick visually.
My issues - it seems my model of the P9 Plus does NOT have Force touch nor NFC. Per the Huawei website it should. These were the big biggest reasons for me to buy the plus over the P9. And NFC is a deal breaker long term.
Also I have a lot of Chinese (Mandarin, or whatever it is) on mine still. I think I was led to believe it would be entirely in English after changing the system language.
Those are my main issues right now. Where did I go wrong?
Model = VIE-AL10.

AL10 is the Chinese version and has no NFC, force touch is only available in the high end 128GB version.

Crap. I just read that elsewhere. Not good. It seems I need to find an intl model with NFC and force touch in white. If possible.

Wanted to better understand Honor 9 Lite before purchase.

Hello Everybody
I have LG G6 currently but i am still looking to jumpship to Honor 9 Lite for Huawei's great software support and 9 Lite price.
LG is hardly supporting G6 these days and i am still waiting for the Oreo update, but i hope i can get it within few weeks.
I started this thread to better understand Honor 9 Lite before plunging in it.
How many major Android updates it can get ?
Does EMUI 8.0 offers all Oreo features ?
Doesn't have face unlock and protected notifications ?

I cannot understand why Huawei even released the Honor 9 Lite...
Go and buy the Honor 7X which is equivalent to the 9 Lite only in ways even better. Bigger screen and larger battery for the same price.
Why would anyone even consider buying the Honor 9 Lite over the 7X??

Well I paid for my Honor 7X €216 inclusive of delivery, making it just €16 more. :laugh:
For a larger screen and bigger battery I think that's more bang for your buck.
Seriously, they are both almost identical and the release of the new Honor 9 is a waste...

because it's smaller and cheaper? I don't understand why would anyone buy 7X over 9, in Europe difference between them it's like 20-30EUR, only benefit of 7X it's nicer design with smaller bezels

4GB version has got and NFC which defers it from 7X.
Well... I got 3GB/32GB version ( LLD-AL10).
I do own an Huawei 9 lite so Honor 9 lite was a Birthday present which I bought for myself.
Compares to H9lite it has got a bigger screen in almost the same body, Apptwin and VoLTE.
The main reason to buy was an astonishing blue/mirror design. Phone looks great.
Until You touch it ... mirror-glass back is 'collecting' fingerprints better than New York police.

The Honor 9 Lite ships with Oreo, it has NFC to support digital payments, it has quad lens cameras, 2 in front and back and supports USB on the go. I can't tell from any of the phone spec sites whether it supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi.

up Only 2.4 GHz

These are my exact reasons for buying the 9 Lite, 4 things that the 7X really should have for the extra price. I was at the launch for the 7X and hands on the 9 Lite isn't that much different.

New Honor phone is coming out?

Just find a latest news about Honor new phone. Honor 10 is coming to China on April 19.
Looks like there will be mixed color in the back of the phone.
Hope it could have triple cameras like P20.

anyone has any idea about this phone?

It's honors take on the p20 it's coming soon looks nice device specs still little scares but I might hold of the p20 lite if Honor 10 cheaper hope it has the Kirin 970 and AI that reports say that's better than the P20 lite that has the same CPU 659 as 7x 9lite , so worth the wait I think

Huawei P20 Pro 8Gb ram 128gb rom CLT-L00

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.
