Hi guys,
I would like to buy phones for my nieces in Ukraine and need fully supported Russian/Ukrainian languages. Choosing between Alcatel Idol 3 and this Zenfone. Original preference is Alcatel but now I read it is released in US with castrated language selection out of the box. Does Zenphone that is sold on Amazon (WW version?) have full support of international languages?
Would appreciate a quick response as I need to make a decision within a week.
Cheers.

In the language selector, both русский and Украні are available.
Excellent, thanks!

Hi All,
Should I decide to buy a One X, I am considering ordering it from france through a friend, as most units sold here are without warranty, and the ones that come with warranty are usually overpriced.
I did the same for my current HTC Touch HD, but I got stuck with french ROM, couldn't install official english rom as the support site required my phone's serial and provided the rom accordingly.
If I get the one x from france, will i be able to change my phone language without spoiling warranty with custom roms?
I bought mine from France and i'm using it with english you get to choose the language when you first set up the phone.
gr8 news thx
In Android you have almost every language, so you shouldn't care about that
Hey folks!
Does the US unlocked version HTC one M8 support Chinese Language?
If it does, I'll buy one right away.

The hardware of OP5T is the same everywhere around the world. Band 20 is on the supported band list for Chinese OP5T, you can check it on OP's cn cite.
Chinese OP5T ships with Hydrogen OS, as there is no Google service in China. You can flash the phone to Oxygen OS without much trouble.
I have no idea of warranty situation outside China. You might want to contact your local OnePlus service for that information.
Hi Michael,
I heard we need to buy it online even in China.
If you managed to find retailer store, can you please let me know ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Greetings from Bangladesh. I wanted to buy Oneplus 5t from China. I am having trouble with it's Hydrogen OS. My friend will buy and ship this phone from China to my country, but problem is that he says in China its only Hydrogen OS and my friend has no idea about any phone's ROM functionality. So, if he buys from China, does it have English language on that device for changing it's ROM? Because I will change it's ROM personally and I have no idea about Chinese language. Please reply and I will be glad.
Thanks :laugh:

I do remember that the user is presented with a language selection page when you boot the phone for the first time. The page is in Chinese though, with one drop down list of usable language. I haven't tried using HOS in English, but I think you can.
Then you can enable OEM unlocking in developer options and proceed to unlock the bootloader then flash the ROM you like.
I bought this phone online in China.
Download the Oxygen OS from the OnePlus site. Install it onto your phone's hard drive. Flash it from recovery. It was very simple to do.
Hi, i just spend days researching on the lenovo p11, and ended realizing that i should spend a little more and buy the xiaomi.

Hello @All!
I would like to buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro, but in the large 12/512GB version. This is available, for example, at TradingShenzhen.
But now there is suddenly the following sentence: INFO! NO GOOGLE PLAY STORE POSSIBLE
As firmware is specified: Multi - GE, EN, FR, ES, ...
According to this, it is a European ROM. If I buy in Germany at Amazon the leine 8/256 GB version, then Google Play Store is also included. It can not be that the use of Google Play Store is dependent on the size of the RAM.
TradingShenzhen wrote me on request that it is not possible to flash another ROM on Honor. That would be very strange though. In principle, you can flash another ROM (e.g. European version) when the bootloader is "unlocked". A few years ago I've bought the Huawei Mate 9 in the bigger chinese version. I I flashed the European ROM and that was it! Everthing worked without any issues.
I find all this somehow strange and would be grateful if someone here could please enlighten me.
Another question in this context: I noticed that the European versions of Chinese smartphones only in smaller memory variants. The Chinese devices have up to twice as much memory as the European ones. What is the reason?
Where can I buy an Honor Magic 4 Pro 12/512GB, where also the Google Apps work?
Somewhere I have now also read that the Chinese version has no GSM? Does this mean that SMS is no longer possible?
Thanks a lot!
Best,
