Which version for T-Mobile (US)

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the various versions of the Zenfone 2 on T-Mobile in the US. From what I can tell the Taiwan version will work with the two main LTE bands as well as 3G for T-Mobile. Any experiences out there?

I had a TW, but returned it because of Bluetooth issues. It worked fine on LTE for T-Mobile in MO.
I now have a WW version and it works fine on T-mobile as well.

Where can I get the ww version?

Why not wait for the us version?

The US Version sounds like it might be tied to AT&T only, much like the Asus Padfone. If it is available unlocked, like the temporarily leaked Amazon page suggests, it will not be available till about June. Because Asus has not released any official details about the US release yet, it is hard to say for certain if they have an exclusivity contract with AT&T.
I bought my WW from http://eglobalcentral.com I paid for the expedited shipping and received it in two days.

My girlfriend will be in Taiwan this week, so she can pick me up at the local price of ~$300 for the Z580 4GB ram 32GB rom version. I think the US version will be more costly (especially with 10% sales tax in CA). In addition I saw one source saying they won't roll out the high-end Zenfone 2 to the US and it might be AT&T only. Finally, typically US carriers don't allow dual-sim phones.

Alose, did you buy the 64GB version for $347? (I can't link to it, but it's a quick search) It looks almost too good to be true. This version is supposed to be ~$330 in Taiwan, which means between shipping and their profit margins they only have $17 to play with. There are so many versions, I'm a bit weary of getting one that is "almost" what they said it would be...

Well im one of the winners of the contest on androidcentral.com and the version i won was a 64gb 4gb ram us version so there's a great chance that the us will carry the 4gb version in some form but no matter what region you it seems like a great phone

On or before the 18th (the contest said that we would get them before release to review however their has been delays) but I'm 99% sure that the 64gb version will make it to the states or even the 128gb version but that might be much later if at all

Does the one on sale on aliexpress.com tomorrow work with T-mobile?

I'm using the ze551ml TW version on T-Mobile in the US and getting full LTE speeds. Just remember that when the phone says 4G, that's what us American's consider LTE. Technically, USA 4G is HSPDA+, not full 4G.
So the phone just says H+ when you are using T-Mobile "4G" and it will say 4G when you are using T-Mobile "LTE"
I'm not sure why everyone is saying it will be ATT only, it's an unlocked phone......... The US version will have all bands for all carriers, as per the ASUS website. If it were going to be ATT only, they wouldn't include the bands for the other carriers. Plus they'd lose a ton of business, and this phone is going to be the one to put ASUS on the radar for the general public for phones. Would be extremely bad business to lock it to a single carrier when every single other version of the phone WW is unlocked....

If it is the ze551ml, then yes it will work on T-Mobile. All of the ze551ml have the correct bands

20-20 hindsight. Was AliExpress a legitimate deal from a legitimate company?This was a deal linked from AA . This deal was for the 64gb version, after hunting around the 64 is harder to find than the common 32gb. After setting up to buy this phone last minute research caused me to bail due to questions of the legitimacy of the site offering the special.there seems to be 5 versions of the phone location oriented, China, Taiwan, us, European, and worldwide, any suggestions on identifying these characteristics? It would seem the European and the China don't work in the US. there also seems to be two versions of the four gigabyte at 2.3 or 1.8 quad core.the intent is to use this phone with solavei which uses t mobile towers in the US.
Also, is it possible to have a 2gb ram 551 ?

Originally ordered 2.3/4gb/64gb/silver 3 days ago off eglobalcentral and immediately after my order it went out of stock. Cancelled that order and just ordered from Aliexpress w/ DHL (up to 7 days processing + 3-7 days shipping time). It was still $10 cheaper with upgraded shipping at Aliexpress.
Alibaba is a publicly traded company and they offer full refund if the retailer screws you over. This was a front page deal on AliExpress. I would be seriously surprised if they screwed this up. Anyway, I will update once I get it. Irony is I already got my case/tempered glass from Amazon with 2 day delivery.
Excited to switch out my nokia brick to zenfone 2 on TMO USA! ASUS made me wait too long for a US release. I go on a long vacation end of May and need a phone/camera!

If you cannot wait to see what the US release is like, I would recommend getting the TW or WW model. I had a TW model and worked fine on T-MO, but returned it due to a faulty Bluetooth. I now have a WW model that I bough from eglobal central. With the new firmware, works even better.

Better confirm it's not the Chinese or Indian model you're getting because it won't get LTE on T-Mobile USA just H+.

Galaxy Note 7 duos FD version replaced

Has anyone replace his Note 7 duos device?
Has anyone informations about when is going to be available for replacement the NOTE 7 duos FD version in dubai or everywhere else?
I have read something about 1 to 16 October...
Is that true? 1,5 mounth to replace a device?Are people of Samsung getting crazy...

It depends what region the phone was supposed to be sold in and who you bought it from. If you bought it first hand from an authorized Samsung reseller or Samsung direct in the phone's correct region they'd be the ones to help you. If you bought it from eBay, a third party non-authorized reseller, and out of its selling region you're in the same gray area a lot of people here are. Good luck regardless.

Gray Version - Where to buy?

Hey guys,
does anyone know why no shop has the gray version of the Phone? All i can find is the silver one but i dont like the white front because of the black bezzels

You´ll have to wait a little bit more for that colour.

I'm also looking for the Gray colored version!
Is there a known timeline for Xiaomi when it released the M5 before we could find the gray one? I can't seem to find any information about this

I don't think you can get the gray model from anywhere right now. I'm not even sure if Xiaomi has sold/shipped any of those yet. Only the silver model is being sold, but as you said, all the other colors apart from gray look stupid because of the black bezels.
I ordered a gray 4/128 GB model from Top-One Digital on Aliexpress on October 5th. The sales rep told me it'll take about a week from now for them to get them in stock, so they should probably have them in week 43.
Top-One is only selling the silver model currently, though. I guess they'll add the other colors back once they have them in stock and they've filled the orders for those who already have orders in.

If you're in Europe, Top-One delivers their stuff so that you don't have to pay any taxes or customs fees, if you select DHL shipping.
I suggest checking those links every once in a while to see if they gray model has become available.
Edit: Just found a seller on Aliexpress who at least lets you order the gray version. But I have no idea whether or not they actually have them in stock. I highly doubt it.

I'm sorry, I don't know if anyone ships to India like that... I suggest looking around at some Indian tech forums to see if people have found a seller doing something similar to that. That's how I found the Top One store; from a Finnish forum where many had ordered a phone from there and everyone had received it without having to pay taxes.
Xiaomi sells their phones directly in India, right? Are the prices a lot higher than in China?

Yeah. Xiaomi mi5 was 25% higher than china and only 32gb 3gb underclocked version was released.

25% more is not bad, since resellers in China are taking more than that anyways, if shipping charges are taken into account.
For example the 4/128 GB Mi 5s:
Xiaomi sells it for 2299 yuan, which is 341 US dollars. Top-One is selling the same phone for 409 US dollars + 26 USD for the DHL shipping method. So it's 435 USD at Top-One. That's 28% more than the official Xiaomi price.
But I don't really care since similar phones cost twice as much in Finland.

I thought the 3/64gb was $350?

Not yet...
I ordered on 2nd of October and at the time it was written, that it is on stock (not preorder). I received the notice from the seller this morning that we will have to wait probably 2 more weeks.
Since the shipment date on Xiaomi official store is after 30th of november, I doubt that any shipment will occur before.
I am seriously thinking to cancel the order, since the price dropped a couple of euros (from 390,01 to 376,64) and the current delivery is 16 to 25 days from 2973 pcs available...
2973 pcs? Xiaomi will ship 3K grey units to Top One before offer them on their own store? This has to be Top Ones total stock of everything...or something.
Very misleading

I guess it's a 50/50 change that the new produced color is Grey. They started with silver..now the gold one is showing up in the shops. So the next would be grey or.....pink . Maybe pink sounds weird to produce next but heyy..they made it for china
Maybe they know that grey is most wanted and they start with the less popular colours so they could tune the firmware or even make hardware adjustments. But thats only guessing.

Nothing yet on the blue one I ordered

I just bought it today in China (Beijing) at a Xiaomi store. It's fantastic.

Nobody has had a 6GB/128GB model ship yet then? Some people recieved notes on their orders saying it would ship on Friday. I recieved one 10 days ago saying it would ship next Wednesday.

I've given up on Aliexpress. I had 3 separate orders with Mi Global, HKG and Mi Store and they're useless at replying to messages and they won't give me a solid date for dispatch.
I've followed TechTablets' (YouTuber) advise and gone with Trading Shenhzen as they have stock of the 128GB gold/white model. The price + postage worked out a smidge higher but they actually respond to messages and they give you the option of the Chinese ROM or that bootleg "global" ROM. They're already processing my order which is fantastic considering I only ordered a few hours ago.

Black and Blue models out of stock there aswell though, cant stand gold phones.

I'm still waiting on my black 6gb/128gb from Mi Global Store on AliExpress. Ordered July 30. Haven't had any replies after they offered to compensate the delay with a free mi band 3. Basically, they, like the rest, did a pre-sale since this version only went live officially on August 10th on Xiaomi's website. I waited this long, so I'll keep waiting for a few more days. No other place has black or blue. I'm not a fan of white/gold either.

Yep, I spoke to geekbuying. They don't get their pre-order stock until August 15th, so I think that's when online 6gb/128GB start shipping.

Yes, Trading Shenhzen is the best shop IMO. Hong Kong Goldway at Aliexpress use to be great but not anymore.

All Mi Max 3 will have those bands. You can buy / preorder from AliExpress, Gearbest, Geekbuying, Honorbuy, etc., etc.
BUT currently only the Chinese ROM is available, global ROM is rumoured to be released soon.

Networks here in the UK only have the 5G model in stock.
The 4G can be found on eBay but most are pre-owned. The few brand new ones are very expensive, they cost more than the 5G model. I spent a long time looking for a reasonably priced new 4G but couldn't find one.
I've just received my 5G yesterday and I'm really pleased with it so far.

thank you, maybe 5G version is the last hope... if 4G isn't available anymore.. I am not satisfied with Aliexpress... could see lots of complaints and the Vendor is not responding to messages.

I did a lot of researching over the last few weeks trying to get the 4G, but of the few brand new ones I saw the cash price was way too high.
There's no way I'd invest a big chunk of my cash in a phone from outside the UK, if there were any subsequent faults I'd imagine I'd be pretty much screwed regarding the vendor sorting it out. So I never bothered looking at Aliexpress or international sellers on eBay. You saying the vendor isn't replying to your messages is a typical scenario I'd rather not be in.
Initially I preferred the 4G above the 5G, mostly because of the larger battery, but I believe the smaller 4200mAh should still see me through a typical day's use.
And whatever model you get I'm sure you will be impressed with the big screen, it really is awesome!

I'm in exactly same situation. Really want the 4g version but can't find it anywhere. Except eBay used items. I should have bought it on Amazon when I had the chance 6 months ago....ahhh.

Whats wrong with used?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am not very keen on used. Simply because I would rather a new device with 100 percent battery health. I plan on using this one long term. At least 2 years.
I have bitten the bullet and ordered one from a third party Amazon seller. Looks new. Got it for £499. Looks like it was the last one too as no more available now. Should be with me in few days. Can't wait!

Huawei discontinued the 4G model long time ago around time the 5G model released.
I really love this 4G model and want to get another one as backup.

If huawei released the 4g model in 2018 then a 5g model in 2019 hopefully theyll release an updated version for 2021, fingers crossed. Its possible that the black shark 3 pro is enuf to attract the attention of huawei to compel it to make a 2021 model as an answer to that competition with same screen proportions as its previous models. Again fingers crossed.

Just got my brand new 4g model today. Factory sealed. Very impressed so far. Typing this on my new 20x! It is a monster. Two handed phone for sure. Gonna be putting it through its paces next few days.
