How would I distinguish between the US and UK (international model) - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Looking to get the UK model and I fail to find a hint on the box from outside to buy it off a grey market people. Can't get it officially since we don't have retailers in middle east and Ebay prices are rocketing.
How can I tell if it is UK/Eu/Indian and not a US model ?

[Q] Best prices for the unbranded/Unlocked UK version?

Hi,
I take it that the for those that do not want to root, that the unbranded/unlocked UK version is best because of more frequent OTA updates and that the phone is in the English language?
1.Where are the best prices on the unbranded/unlocked UK version?
2.Which is the best place to buy it that is fast, your getting an unopened/sealed retail box, and has good packing?
I did see the other thread on the subject. Although, the posters appeared to be generally European locals. Which isn't a bad thing, but it would seem like this version of the Htc One X would be the one desired by European, North American, and American users alike. So, the answers given should have included persons/businesses in the US (including on Ebay) that are selling the HTC One X UK also.

I preordered mine from amazon uk. Both boxes were sealed so no one had touched them. They are unlocked to any network which is great.
The price has dropped and they come with free delivery. Here is the link

International Version or Australian/Indian

Hi all,
Living in the land 'Down Under' and can't wait for this phone.
Looked at Harvey Norman (store) and they are offering this phone as an unlocked phone (pre-order), the model number is: SM-N930FZDAXSA
Now GSMArena say the model numbers are: Versions: N930F (Europe); N930G (India); N930V (Verizon); N930A (AT&T); N930P (Sprint); N930T (T-Mobile), N930R4 (US Cellular); N930W8 (North America)
Would love the international version (I assume it is the: N930F (Europe))
My question is....
Is the phone being offered in Harvey Norman the Europe/international version or is it just an unlocked Aussie one?
Asking for the better support for ROMs etc on this web-site.
It all about which bands each phone version has and which bands your carrier uses.
check out http://willmyphonework.net/
they may not be updated yet for all of the note 7 versions but they will
be.
Being from USA the note 5 i c g etc were all international to me. The A V P & T are domestic.
hope this helps.
Sent from my SM-N920I on XDA-DEVELOPERS Mobile app.

I just canceled my pre-order with buymobile due to reading some really bad reviews on their company (possibly the old Mobicity, Yatango crew). The order was for an international version shipped out of Hong Kong (I would expect, same as my Note 4 was), it would have had no warranty here in Oz. I've gone the Harvey Norman route, rather have local phone with warranty and buymobile were not doing the free 256Gb MicroSD, whereas Harvey Norman are. Tried Samsung Oz but their black onyx version has sold out already. I think it's too early yet to find out about which version is best for ROMs, just going to take the chance.

The OZ one should be similar to the international variations. Also, if you can get discount gift card from harvey norman or jb hifi, then pre-order should be a good deal. I just ordered one from jb-hifi with 7.5% discounted e-gift card.
In the past the international versions were better supported (more variety) for the ROMs etc.
The international versions generally ended in F: N910F (for the Note 4)
I physically went to the store to ask, but the salesperson didn't have a clue.
I looked at their order screen and it listed the model number as SM-N930FZDAXSA
So because this model number is SM-N930F....ZDAXSA
Does this mean it will be supported by the ROMs created by and for the international versions?
The Model number on The UK Amazon site is SM-N930F...ZBADBT
Making me think the one from Harvey Norman is the base International model ?
Although I do like the Blue/Gold colouring

So I ordered mine online from Samsung Aus direct (unlocked of course coming from them) and the model number of mine is below:
SM-N930F....ZKAXSA

Where to buy

I've seen in a couple of places that if one were to purchase the Moto Z Play outright that it would be best to get the UK version due to the additional radio bands that are available. Where would be the best place to purchase the UK version to be delivered to the US? So far clove DOT co DOT uk is the only place that even appears reputable that I have found so far. Additionally, as long as it has LTE/CDMA there shouldn't be any issue using it on VZW should there? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

Hi, I have read a lot about this phone and i really would like to buy it but it is nowhere to be found!! Why is that? Do you know of any online store that has it that ships internationally??

Yes they sell mainly the P2c72, which is unfortunately with better hardware (64gb) than P2a42. It will work just fine in Europe, but in US the 4G frequency is different.

all ebay listings sell the chinese variant. I cannot believe there is no availability of the european model (p2a42) online.
I could easily buy the chinese variant and it will work for me for the time being here in Japan, but I wll not be living in Japan forever, when I return to my home country the phone will work only with gsm.... The european model has more compatibility with my home country bands
Check out SuperBuy.my
It is a Malaysian retailer that sells the P2A42 variant. They ship via DHL and many Australians on the Whirlpool forums have purchased there, including me.

Are you sure the 3g/4g frequencies of p2c72 are different than the frequencies in your country? There is a thread in this forum where I mentioned all the differences between p2a42 and p2c72.
I purchased it from this guy and it shipped to the US fine. Its the p2a42 version I would recommend him
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-P2-G...180128?hash=item2a79bee560:g:4moAAOSw5cNYhae-
Amazon Austria/Germany is selling it. i bought it on another website, for "only" 281€. games2game.at 4GB variant, 32GB Rom. But i don't know, if they will ship to japan. But i got a "french" model. Manual and the package itself is in french, but the phone have all languages. hope there's no problem with warranty, if i need it someday

I do not know how you searched the list I gave above but you are wrong
for instance:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-P2...528?hash=item44004deec8:g:eek:XAAAOSwsW9Y0P3r
This is italian release P2 4N0106IT. Definitely for Europe
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-P2...122111?hash=item41bbb5b57f:g:l5UAAOSwA3dYdach
This one is spanish release PA4N0110ES.

Is there a reason why I can't buy this phone anywhere in the UK?

This phone interests me, Its on the Samsung UK site at £329 but thats all I can find in the UK. Its a UK model so obviously released in the UK yet no one is selling it anywhere, Its actually £100 cheaper than the A71. Even Sammobile has no firmare for it M515F which is the European version shows no firmware. Kinda weird, its like it exists yes but no one knows it exists apart from Samsung and its actually a bargain compared to A51 and A71
Let me know of you find it! I am also looking at this phone as an option but seems to be only available in Germany and in India. I am Colombia so not sure if it will ever go on sale here
