Is this a Chinese variant? How does it differ from U.S.? Can flash U.S. OS and everything will be the same? It's the only place that still sells white without ripping you off.

Hi there
I did a lot of research, but I'm still stuck and would love some help.
Obviously there are 3 models of the Oneplus 3
- Europe / Asia
- China
- North America
They all have model numbers, for example, the users in America got the A3000 model, the users in Europe the A3003 model. So far it's easy.
My problem:
I'm from Switzerland and we can't buy the Oneplus 3 from official channels. So I have to import it.
But right now, I'm in Thailand for a while and could buy one here.
The best option would obviously be the European model because it supports all 3 LTE bands from my carrier. The China version would at least support 2 out of 3 and the model for North America only 1 out of 3.
So I would like to avoid the model for North America.
And here starts my confusion. The sellers in Thailand sell the A3000 model but they don't know (and probably don't care) if it's the version for North America or the China version.
I could take a picture of the sticker of the back of the box. It would be great if someone with the North America model could compare the sticker to their sticker (do you also have most of it written in Chinese? Or does it looke completely differen or even the same?).
One seller told me that his model had HydrogenOS on it and he flashed OxygenOS, so that would be the China model I guess, but he was out of stock. The other seller (the one I could take the picture of) said that he bought it already with OxygenOS on it, and that is what makes me wonder if it could be the North America model.
Thank you so much for every hint!
Chinese and North American models are both A3000. I guess that's why in the official page of OP they name them by country/region.

Sorry if my english is not perfect.

Ok thanks , so I would like to know if the A3000 i posted in the picture is the China model or the one for North America.
And why the seller tells me that there already is OxygenOS on it (if it really is the chinese model).

I would say that is the Chinese version because of all the Chinese text and it also says A3000 TD-LTE. Only the Chinese version has TD LTE bands as seen at https://oneplus.net/uk/3/specs.
The Chinese version comes by default installed with Hydrogen OS instead of Oxygen OS but many Chinese exporters open the box and flash Oxygen OS so that is what he is telling you.

that's a great hint with TD LTE, thanks!
The european version say "ONEPLUS A3003" in the "about" section. I'll descript the label on my box tonight if you need to.
Thank you Le_Zouave but I think it's not neccessary. It says A3000 even in the about section. So it's either the China or North America model
You have the Chinese model... Great model
It was Chinese Model. Mine also exactly the same with yours.
All of the text on my NA model is in english and lists 2 IMEIs. Don't know why ur photo only list 1.
that IMEI thing is strange. I searched for more pictures here in Thailand (and will add some to this answer) but I couldn't find anywhere a second IMEI. There is an MEID printed on the back, but that is normally used in North America with CDMA phones.
I read on the oneplus forum that with the Oneplus 2 the chinese model has printed 2 IMEI but they were both the same number.
Has that something to do with dual active sims or standby sims?
It gets complicated
I was watching a review and it was of a Note7 without Samsung printed on the front. It was still on the back and they said they were sold in a few Asian countries such as China. Anyone know where to buy these without a big mark up?
I honestly think those videos were of pre-official release models just to show them off, or get measurements for cases n such. The only video I've seen of an unbranded one was one that wasn't officially released. Pretty sure about that, but does it really bother you that much?
The Korean models don't have the branding on front http://scopick.com/#/product/352
Hello,
I'm going to buy RealmeX from China and I wonder if all RealmeX phones selling in China are the same version?
From almost all of the aliexpress sellers show "Chinese version Rom, with Chinese+English language, goole play installable, and OTA update",
but from asking sellers from taobao, they don't seem to know if there is English language, or some don't even know if it would work outside China.
So, are they selling the same thing? or there are different versions, and I have to buy only from aliexpress.
Thank you

Can anyone double check and see if there's any issues with this listing? I'm in Canada, if that matters.
Just making sure it's the international version with global Rom, if either of those matter or if they can be fixed or changed by me.
Or any concerns? Just need a second opinion.

Just checked it out. It states it has global firmware. Oos 10.0.3 but doesnt state anywhere in the description the model of the phone. Judging from where it ships from Hong Kong i think its a chinese variant HD1900 with global firmware. Shouldnt be a hustle as this is the same setup i use in Africa unless you are looking for specific network bands
It's the Chinese version. The International version only has 128GB storage.
I would look elsewhere.
I'm not sure what's been sold where, but here's a complete list of 7T variants:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OnePlus_7T#Variants
A phone sold as the "international version" is almost always an HD1900--that is, the Chinese version. The HD1900 has both Chinese and international ROM's available, and I think which one it comes with is a matter of where you buy it--but even if you buy the Chinese version, you can download and flash an international version of the ROM through the settings menu.
Ideally, in Canada, you want the HD1905, but it's no longer sold anywhere, and you're going to have a hard time finding it--I had to buy a used one. That being said, both the HD1900 and the HD1903 (the European variant) will work in North America. The lack of certain bands, especially on the 1900, may affect your coverage in specific situations, but I personally used an "international" version of the 3T in the U.S. (that was before they had a U.S. version) with no problems.
Note that the HD1907, while probably also suitable for your purposes, comes network-locked, and you'll have no way to unlock it unless you first activate it on T-mobile or a T-mobile MVNO--so avoid that one.
I was looking to pour a little money into my older tablet as I still use it tons and Android 11 actually runs quite smoothly on it.
One of the things I wanted to look for was a white backing replacement, I know the white model exists but WHERE? Thanks for any information!
They were originally sold in the US, UK, or Japan. Afaik, the white variant wasn't available with LTE.
Does anyone know if there are any 3d printed back covers for the nexus 7? I didn't see any on thingiverse.....
The only white models I see are best buy ones which are no longer on sale...
