Is this the same model? Is it a good phone for the price still, the deal at the link below is very cheap.
http://www.tinydeal.com/letv-le-1-pro-55-2k-snapdragon-810-4gb-ram-64gb-rom-4g-phone-p-159277.html

Does anybody know how many hardware versions of the smartphone out there?
Or there is one and frequency selection is software dependent?

best deal at gearbest
You can buy at gearbest with 12 months warranty versus 6 months for less money, 164 euros with promo code "CellPhones8"
Hope it helps

I am a little confused here.
Both TD and gear best carry the 1 pro. Gearbest shows that the phone has band 7 (2600) and until today, tiny reflected that as well.
6 days after ordering from tinydeal, I have received an email from them stating the phone does NOT support band 7. Every other seller and device specification site says bands 3&7 are supported.
Finding official documentation has been a bit of a daunting task.
Advice, anyone?

I'm kind of confused about the phone, too. There seem to be three models floating around in stores, a regular one with bands B1/B3/B7/B38/B39/B40/B41, one with B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B12/B17/B25/B26, and an International one with different bands listed as well. Yet the manufacturer only seems to list the B1/3/7/38/39/40/41 model. Is this true? Does the second model I listed with B2/4/5/17 have full AT&T LTE support in the US?

Im really not sure. Too many conflicting reports. I think I'm going to cancel my order in the morning. I asked about the bands on the official tech support Le forum, and they referred me to their Hong Kong forum while completely dodging the question.

Update: A forum moderator sent me to the 'official' sales site here: http://cn.lemall.com/le_1pro/parameter.html
Three variants listed. All three have the same FDD-LTE bands of 1/3/7
In today's email from tinydeal they told I that the phone ordered supports B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B12/B17/B25/B26.
I'm kinda torn now.. at under $200 it's not a huge risk.. But I'm already kinda tired of dealing with the crap of finding just the basics on this device. How much harder will it be when I have it in hand and need to do something more advanced?

I just received mine from Coolicool today. Popped in my Cricket sim card and LTE Discovery lists me as being connected to Band 17 right now. This must be an updated model, as it appears that the newly listed bands are correct. Maybe this is a sign that they're actually moving forward with releasing the phone in the US? If anyone suspects that LTE Discovery might be wrong, please point me to a better utility.
For the record, I purchased mine from Coolicool. As of today, all of the other models have been removed (the two with the different bands listed and the international version) and this is the sole model up for sale. It won't allow me to post a link because I'm new here, but it's the featured product on the upper right side of the screen.

The option is missing from the first menu. The second menu says CDMA and has a box you can check. I have no way of knowing what it did or if it works, as I don't live in an area that using Band 20. All I know is that I'm definitely getting Band 2 and 17, which haven't been available up until this new batch started shipping out apparently. The specs on the site I bought from specifically says no Band 20 support, so I'm guessing this doesn't work.

Have you got it yet?
Does the 3 and 7 bands work?

I received one today, bought in Tinydeal and can confirm that it works in the band 4 Tmobile.

Can you please share your experience with the new phone. Battery, hit, camera, games for more than 30 min.
Thanks

I cancelled the order, ordered another from gearbest that did indeed work on bands 3&7 ( 7 being the important one for me - Free mobile in central France). Sold it after a couple days because the phone was just too damned big and the software was a mess.
Actually thinking of buying another one as a spare. My Nexus 5 did something wonky yesterday and I don't want to have it fail and get caught in a situation where I don't have a phone.

Did you order the same phone from gearbest?
I bought it from gearbest and in 5 days it already arrived
The software is a mess, so i installed cuoco92 rom

I looked on all official LeTV/ LeEco sites (Global, India, HK, China) but don't seem to be able to find an "international version". Does anyone know where to find official information rather than from resellers?

No, I decided not to order another one. I thought I could get past my dislike of 5.5 inch phones, but just too big for daily use for me. 5.2 inch seems to be the sweet spot, so that's where I'm focusing my attention at the moment - though that is presenting it's own set of challenges.
I'm using a nexus 5 at the moment. I would like a little better battery life and a little larger screen, but I'm not dying for a new phone at the moment.
If I do find myself in a spot where I have to replace my phone and I can't find a 5.2 inch that checks all the boxes (big one being budget), I'll probably just stick with a 5 inch phone.
Right now the top two are the xiaomi mi4c and the huawei p8.
I would rather go with an Mi5 or P9 but they're out of my price range.

I don't think an official international version exists. At least thas what I gathered from talking to some LeTv support people on their forums. Everything sold outside of HK/China and India is considered gray market, as far as I can tell.

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.

What is The Difference Between Chinese & Global Variant

Xiaomi dramatically release a lot of variant in Running Redmi note lineup.
Note 5 pro as indian variant,another one is
Note 5 as chinese also known as Note 5 Ai
and the other one is Redmi note 5 Global.
There is a lot of noticeable difference
between Chinese and global version.
But Its really hard to notice difference
between Chinese & global version.
So My Question is,
I can consider chinese rom,
Which one would be better for me?
I mean Any Disadvantages on
Redmi note 5 global compared to
The note 5 chinese?

Global version and Chinese version differ only in network bands. If you add two LTE bands B4 and B20 to chinese version, it will become global version. That's it. If you don't need those two bands you can order the Chinese version.

Thanks for this clear and concise answer. I don't need band 20 or band 4 LTE and Ordered the Global version.
Just cancelled it to reorder the Chinese version from Aliexpress - -$25 difference and it comes with an unlocked bootloader...

Be aware, there are fake unlocked bootloader devices being sold through 3rd party re-sellers! Do a bit of research here on Guides and News section I think on RN5 forums and you'll see. The safest case would be to buy completely stock device (locked bootloader) and proceed to unlock it on your own. Now, your device might really be unlocked, but it is a known practice for Xiaomi devices to get sold with fake UBL. I hope you don't get scammed, because it's a pain in the *ss to get rid of that fake ubl.

I would recommend you to buy the global version even if it costs 25 bucks extra. Things changed between then and now. So many restrictions imposed on xiaomi phones. You can't lock bootloader on chinese version if you have global rom and vice-versa. Just make sure you buy from recommended sellers (check their rating) and ask them to keep the box in sealed state o/w you may get fake roms or faked unlocked bootloader....etc.

If I have genuine Global Rom with Unlocked Boot Loader on China version, will flashing newer Global ROM be possible with an unlocked bootloader?
If it is possible, will the Newer global ROM with ARL still lock the bootloader?
I am not a MIUI fan, It is custom Rom all the way so, I want to know. I intend getting the POCO phone early Next year and may not use this one so long

Global Rom - where to get PCT-L29 or similar

Hi, from Australia,
I have bought UK based honor phones before, (5C not global rom - so some carriers didnt work) but would like to get an Honor View 20 global version , and know the actual model, so I can check the frequencies on frequency checker website before I buy.
I have tried Amazon India, and also tried Hi Honor, and even emailed Huawei in Australia ( long time Huawei user prior to using Honor 5C) so far no luck .
I did find a PCI-L29 for.. $1219 ,but thats a lot more expensive than the Malaysian / Indian prices.
At this level of price purchase, i am hoping to get the model that works internationally, as I found the PCT -L29 has the right bands for Australia, but very hard to buy.
So I thought this forum would be a great place to make my first post, and see what I can did up for how to buy one. Perhaps someone can share a link , if they have bought a global one.. plenty of ebay ones etc, but when you follow the link... not global .
This isnt just for me, others on some Australian tech forums also would love to know.
Thanks!

I'm in New Zealand using Pct_al10 (bought from India) I can confirm 4g and 3g work full signal on both my sims. I use Spark and Vodafone. You could lookup the bands they use and compare to the ones you need.

Hi Flamery, checked on frequency checker and not suitable (PCT-AL10 ) 5 bands missing for Australia - just in 4g) .
all those bands are available in the global rom.
Glad its working ok for you in NZ.
Maybe somebody else has a source of where I can get the PCT - L29 , or the international version, for less than $1219 AUD

I got mine from the below link. Its a local online shopping portal. Usually discount coupons are given near weekends or every few weeks. Coupons will be something like $100 off minimum $800 purchase. Which will offset the price from $829 to $729 for the 8gb model. Its local set, so warranty is only for Singapore, n region is Asia, so asia rom. I'm not sure if they do overseas shipping, u can ask them through the portal.

I have bought other phones from red white mobile previously, not sure about mobyshop.

im from germany and bought a PCT-L29 last week for 490€.
Generally most devices sold over here are PCT-L29.
if you want links to sellers send me a pm since i cant post links

I obtained mine (PCT-L29) from Technolec, from eBay. They are an authorized reseller and have been great to work with.

Yeah i'm thinking to buy one. But stil don't know which one. Chinese with global rom or Global at ZTE Shop.
Chinese with global rom is cheaper at Giztop, but there is a chance to get extra customs.
1. This phone is Chinese Edition, comes with Global version software installed(international ROM), includes Google Play Service.
2. This phone supports multi-language: English, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and more.
3. This phone supports these network bands:
4G: FDD: B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26/28; TDD: B34/38/39/40/41.
5G: n1/n3/n28/n41/n78

so no one has one? Mine supposed to arrive today

Chinese version with global rom comes with problems... I find it's MUCH slower to update (have to almost force it to) and can be a mother to root.
Older google apps abound and it doesn't want to update these, manually installing newer APK's seems to fail more times than not.
There can be bloatware that is (almost) impossible to uninstall.
Theme stores might not work without a Chinese number and you are stuck with some apps being only in Chinese with no English, or any other language, options.
Chinese phone might be a little cheaper but the Global variant will mean less headaches...
I have the Chinese Axon 20 and themes are especially a pain, the Theme store is geared for the Chinese and I find them all very cartoony, Forget about changing fonts as it uses theme store bought ones and again, not English. They ALL cost too. (Have to use Chinese currency)..
Forget about reading the changelog of a new Firmware, if you get updates, t took a few months with me checking and getting a "can't connect with server" error" before it finally updated, still a month or 2 behind in security patches though, though that may be normal.
All in all I wish I'd spent the few extra $$ on a Global variant but it wasn't available in my area at the time so got the Chinese one instead cos I'm an impatient little bugger.
Updating is a pain as you need to navigate Chinese only sites to find the firmware if you want to root or anything, a lot of these sites are hard to get things from, even with a VPN, and depending on the suppliers means of adding the Google apps, may not allow upgrading. This means having the stock firmware handy is nigh impossible if you have problems and is easier to end up with a brick...
Hope this helps you make up your mind.
To sum up, what you get is about all you can expect to work with (spent hour pulling my hair out trying to root a Chinese Axon 7 and ended up loosing all phone functionality), as long as you're happy to use without root, too much theme customisation problems with stock Android and hard to ignore apps you just can't get rid of. It may be worthwhile but in my opinion, get the Global version instead.
Got the Global Axon 30, much better experience and again, cost may only be up to $100 more but peace of mind is priceless...

To sum up, what you get is about all you can expect to work with (spent hour pulling my hair out trying to root a Chinese Axon 7 and ended up loosing all phone functionality), as long as you're happy to use without root, too much theme customisation problems with stock Android and hard to ignore apps you just can't get rid of. It may be worthwhile but in my opinion, get the Global version instead.
Got the Global Axon 30, much better experience and again, cost may only be up to $100 more but peace of mind is priceless...

I bought global. Not sure why anyone would buy cn version

Again, the phone bought Chinese version was the Axon 20, and it wasn't available in my region, not even through international postage and It was also unintentional (Seller had "Global ROM' in BIG letters but CN model in itty bitty letters).
The Axon 30 I got a true Global variant from ZTE direct, came with a screen protector and ZTE iMore buds. Funnily enough though the screen protector supplied by ZTE, the official tempered glass protector, had the camera cutout which I thought was an odd choice seeing as how the phone's most advertised selling point is the under display camera. That was a boner-headed move on their part but the phone is pretty good.

Got mine today. Pretty good. Do wish I could crank up the color though. The setting for color is limited.

I've had mine since last Friday and it's really good overall. But I have 2 issues so far with the screen off the tap to illuminate the fingerprint reader doesn't work, and the AOD doesn't work at all I turn it on and the screen stays black so I have to contact ZTE and see if its just my unit

thanks!
So from what I am seeing the G version is the USA/NA version and the one that is just A2322 is the China version. (was looking at a device for sale-had some Chinese characters in the settings and no "G"-OS version was slightly ahead or higher at 11.0.16)

I'm going for the Global model, but i want the 12GB/256GB model and it is still not avalible at the ZTE Global store.
I read that the phone doesn't have dual speakers. Is there a way to enable the ear speaker and use that for second speaker?
